Can someone help me troubleshoot? What am I missing?
I know calories in < calories out = weight loss. I've been doing this long enough to know this was true. NOTE: I use TDEE for calorie calculations. I was eating 1350-1400 calories, working out 4 days per week. I lost 5lbs in May (seems high, but probably water weight at the beginning) and 4.9lbs in June (also had covid in…

Help me find a protein supplement
I've recently stopped eating dairy for my skin. The improvement in my skin has made it evident that dairy does not agree with me. I am not getting nearly as much protein without dairy though, I was not supplementing protein when I ate dairy - but I ate greek yogurt and cheese regularly which are good sources of protein. I…

PlateJoy (2022)
First I did try the search and the most recent post was a year ago, so I'm making a new one. Has anyone used PlateJoy? I'm on a free trail. I decided to cut out dairy for my skin/digestion and see if it makes a difference. So I told it to avoid dairy and added sugar. It's my first week of meals, I'm overwhelmed and it's a…

Anyone bake with Allulose?
I bought some allulose to try, my husband has been using it in his coffee and likes it just fine. I was making my son's birthday cake and realized I was low on sugar. I did half allulose and half sugar rather than run out to the store for more sugar. I figured the reduction in sugar would be fine anyway. Now I'm worried it…

Any Recs for a home workout bike?
DH and I both want to increase our activity. We love our gym, but it's a 30-minute drive both ways and they don't have childcare for the foreseeable future due to Covid. Our current location does not lend itself to safe walking/running outdoors, nor is it suitable for outdoor cycling. DH has tried to incorporate jump rope…

Introducing myself!
I've come back to 5x5 (I've done it before) after taking some time off due to illness and injury, and also because I need to take a step back to work on my form (with regards to squats). At my best, I've done 165x5 on squats and 195x5 DL. I've broken 100 on bench, but I don't think I hit 5, I think I just got 3. I won't…

Is it MFP or is it something I'm doing?
I don't get it, honestly. I used to use TDEE, I'm trying to use my FitBit now because my activity level is different than it used to be. I have MFP set to lose 1/2 pound per week - so it should be a 250 cal deficit, correct? It's set at 1630 calories, and it gives me a negative adjustment - so you would think Fitbit is…

I need support
I haven't been as active on the boards as I have been in the past. I'm still maintaining my weight and was lifting up until this week. I've had multiple rounds of antibiotics for an abscessed tooth, and Monday morning I got hit with C.Diff. I'm not sure if everyone knows what that is, but it's the big warning in the…

Somebody help me wrap my head around this.
I'm logical. I understand CI/CO. I'm fully on board. But my husband defies logic, to me. He tracks his food, I watch him. He doesn't skip things, he uses a scale, he does it right. I've helped him calculate his calories. He is 5'10", 195lbs. He is aiming to lose 15-20 more pounds. His weight has plateaued around 196-197…

Strong Curves Barbell Pad
I know a lot of people have done Strong Curves. I'm currently doing the advanced program. I currently use this pad https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A86Z884/ref=nav_timeline_asin?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Because it's what my gym has. But I'm not doing that much weight and I'm already having bruising pain on my hip bones. I decided…

Ladies who lift
Men, not really for you. You've been warned. So, I've been a menstrual cup user for most of my adult life. I haven't been having my period most of my lifting time though, due to breastfeeding. Since I had my third child, I experienced some leaks with the cup I was using. I went up in size and to a stiffer material (the…

Losing weight and mattress firmness
So, I've noticed as I've been losing and the lighter I get that my mattress is less and less comfortable. I have a foam mattress (tuft & needle) that is pretty firm support. We liked it for it's firm support when we bought it. Also we cosleep, and when our baby was young we could not have a fluffy topper or pillow top. But…

Introduce myself
I'm 30, I have 3 kids (5, 3, and 11 months) and when my smallest LO was 6 months I realized I'd gained too much and needed to get fitter, for myself and my kids. I've been going to the gym and lifting moderately heavy weights since February. In April I started logging my calories and eating better, and started a newer…
