MFP, my first year and 29kg lost!
Today marks my 1 year streak of using MyFitnessPal to log my nutritional intake. Good or bad, pizza or celery, beer or water: I logged it all. An exercise of discipline and self-honesty. I feel as though I'm a new me. I have more energy, more joy, and more hope than I could have imagined a few years ago. In this year, I…

Managing nutritional requirements for healthy half-marathon training?
Hi there, I'm currently in the process of doing half-marathon training. Until now, my primary goal had been weight loss and it's going well.

Since "Calories In - Calories Out = Weight Loss",…

I just defeated the Kitchen Miniboss! Level up!
I've been losing weight for about 2.5 months now and doing great but I had been slightly concerned that my food bill was higher than I would like. I decided to take some time, make a giant recipe plan, and make myself 5 meals that I could eat over the next five days and that were specifically tailored to my macros. I also…

Being fit, being fat, and being fab; my newbie perspective.
I have been eating healthily and recording all of my intake for around 40 days now. Most of that time I have also been attending the gym three days a week (I believe only skipping one intended visit). My goal has been weight loss. Obviously lean muscle gain and fitness improvement is a longer term goal. I have managed to…
