Too much fat (macros)?
I have Crohn’s so I eat paleo to help manage my disease. I’ve been paleo almost 3 years. I started a new medication and I’ve been in remission so I gained 15lbs. I’ve started tracking what I eat before the weight increases too much. I’ve found that I’m way over my fat intake for the day. I’m not eating packaged food so all…

Rapid weight loss and extra skin - Crohn's Disease
I have about 100 lbs to lose and while I'm happy with the loss I'm not actually trying to lose weight that quickly (I've lost 35 lbs so far ~3-4 lbs per week).

Starting Strength Training
I've never done any type of lifting or strength training before but from studying the boards and doing some research of my own I really need to incorporate this into my routine.

First week NSV
I just completed my first week back to MFP after having baby #2 and yes I lost a good amount of weight but more than that I stayed within my calorie range all week. I still ate healthy even when faced with challenges like a lunch meeting on Thursday and Friday! My goal for the past week and the few weeks to come is to make…
