Covid Silver lining?
Is anyone taking advantage of the time away from coworkers, the daily hustle and bustle, and people in general, to reset your fitness goals? Last July, I left a somewhat toxic job for a better job but definitely faster paced. Before leaving my previous job the stress was getting so bad I'd pretty much abandoned my healthy…

New to High Protein diet. Any food/meal suggestions?
Just discovered that I am an Endomorph (high tendency to store body fat) and am trying to switch from a muscle building diet to a fat burning diet by doing 50/35/15 prot/carb/fat. Holy moly is this difficult! I eat what I think are high protein foods but still end up tipping the carb scale. Any tips/tricks/hacks? I want to…

Need to ramp up my HIIT training, help!
I'm about 15-20 lbs to my 'goal'. I've been weight training (heavy lifting) 3 days a week and including cardio with core conditioning 2-3 days a week. I'm ready to blast through the final bits of lingering fat but want to find a workout or several workouts that I can follow for 4-8 weeks to really finish strong. I've been…

Diagnosed with an eating disorder, now what?
I have just been diagnosed with an eating disorder. Now before images of purging and bones sticking out of the skin fill your head realize that eating disorders come in many forms. I have been diagnosed with binge eating disorder and I can't believe how stupid I have been to not realize I've had a problem all these years.…

Need lifting suggestions!
I am about to complete week 4 of JM Ripped in 30. I had about 20lbs to lose and have lost 10 doing her DVD. For the final 10 I want to really focus on lifting to really tone and transform my body. I'm a newbie and have no clue where to start. I know macros are a big part of it but I just can't seem to get the right mix of…

Childish Food Habits
I'm a 30-something year old woman ready to get back into shape. I know what I need to do (exercise, cut portions, etc.) and I know what I should be eating (veggies, fruits, healthy grains, etc.) but I've got just one obstacle... some weird food habits. I have a giant aversion to mushy foods! I know this might seem…

Is anyone else on the the Nutrisystem meal program? Today is day for me and I feel like I just don't get how this works.

Want to burn fat, interested in lifting but need HELP!
I have lost almost 30 lbs in 6 months. Although I was very excited with my progress a check of my body fat % knocked me back into reality. I'm still overweight by ways of body fat, 34% to be exact. I want to be in the acceptable-fitness range. My initial goal was to get down to 135 lbs, with 9lbs to go I think I need to…

Want to lift to burn fat, need HELP!
Hi MFPers I am about 9 lbs from my goal weight of 135. I am 5'6" with a medium build (read: cannot go under 130 or I will look emaciated). I have lost all the weight doing classes at my gym. I am not completely happy with my weight loss because my fat % is still in the overweight range of 34%. All the muscle I do have is…

What to eat at social gatherings?!
I was just informed that there will be an 'outing' for our team. This outing is not at all outside, but inside... in a bar of all places. I am so not prepared for this kind of setting! Any suggestions on what to order food/drink-wise? I don't want to skimp on a chance to interact with my team members but not at the expense…
