Hungry with No Appetite?
Has this ever happened to anyone? I am a little bit stressed right now, obsessing over stupid s**t that I can't control, working on that part. But in the meantime, food has not been appealing for two days. I feel hungry but then don't want to eat because nothing is satisfying. The only time I ever have lost my appetite is…

Full body strength workout at home
HI, guys. I don't have access to all the stuff needed to do the stronglifts thing, but I would like to do a full body strength routine at home. I have some small barbells (I can barely lift more than 5 or 8 lbs right now) Any suggestions?

Random smartphone poll
Hey all, Happy Friday the 13th! What's your favorite Android? What do you like about it? Android has some features that I want that iPhone does not have, and I need a new phone. I want a good front facing camera, and I don't want it to be too big. Sell me a new phone!

Are all lunges created equal?
Hi, have a (maybe silly) question. I'm on day 6 of a 30 day squat challenge. Wasn't feeling it too much, so I decided to add lunges. I'm really, REALLY bad at regular lunges and reverse lunges. You know, no balance and such. But then I discovered that I can do a decent curtsy lunge, which I can really feel, and a good side…

Measuring Frozen Food and Condiments
I have searched the threads (a little) but have questions about this. I understand that meat and stuff should be measured raw, before cooking, but... I'm scared to sound like an idiot but I want to make sure I'm doing it right. What about frozen food... ie frozen french fries or fish? How/when do you weigh that? Isn't the…

Strength Training and reps vs. weight
So, I've perused many threads on the topic of strength training. I still have some questions.... I'm very flexible, lots of Pilates and yoga over the years, but I very obviously lack strength and would like to change that. I can squat, and my form is decent (I've checked) but I can barely do a lunge without holding onto…

Protein, Macros, Carbs and No Red Meat
Hi, everyone. I know there is a lot of information available here but I don't have a lot of time to search through everything and read all the posts I want to. So, have patience, please :happy: In tracking macros, I'm supposed to eat a lot of protein and very little carbs. I used the IIFYM website to calculate. I didn't…

Help! Confused and Frustrated- seeking public opinion
Me, today- 5'2", 5'3" when I stand up nice and straight, roughly 186 lbs and size 10 jeans (they're snug). So, it's been a little over a week since I joined MFP, and I am so confused. I went to the IIFYM calculator, which someone suggested, and my TDEE (with little or no exercise) is 1787. It says for aggressive fat loss I…

How is TDEE calculated?
Is your TDEE always going to be whatever it is regardless of how much muscle you have vs. how much fat? This is a lot of math for me, and I have been feeling generally frustrated (see previous post) but I'm wondering about how the TDEE calculation works.

Introducing Myself :)
Hi, everyone! I'm Dot. I'm thirtysomething, a newbie, and I'm really loving this board. I joined yesterday, and the verdict is- there is too much sugar and fat in my diet, haha! But, I really love all the support and would like to make friends. I'm 5'3 and 188 (my highest weight ever was 200 about 12 years ago, lowest as…
