Calorie Goal
Did anyone else have to play with their calorie intake to see results? Was seeing results when I was sticking to 1800 calories a day (loss of 1.5 lbs per week) and adjusted it to 2000 calories a day (loss of 1 lb a week) and it seems like my progress just isn't going anywhere. When you're this overweight should you…

Fitbit Adjustment
If I have the Fitbit calorie adjustment for a workout, should I still log what I did or is that double logging??

HIIT Full Body Workout
How would I create one of these for myself? Trying to create one that will last 30-40 minutes, using free weights (or machines) 2x per week

Fitbit Preference
I have a couple of things I'm curious about... I have a Fitbit Zip that I won at work and used briefly, but the battery has died. I'm considering buying a new battery, but I'm also considering a new Fitbit. For those of you that have other ones that you wear as a wristband, do you wear it 24/7? Has it aided with your…

Sugar Detox
Has anyone done this? What are the benefits/detriments?

High(er) Protein Oatmeal?
Does anyone have any suggestions for adding protein to rolled oats? I'm thinking a scoop of protein powder or cottage cheese but I'm not sure how well the consistency will come out...

Gnarly headaches...
I started going very low carb as of yesterday and I'm making my best effort to cut out added sugar from my diet (prediabetic, so both of those methods should help my health, in theory). Yesterday and today I've had really horrible headaches all day long... could this change in diet have something to do with it?

Squatting with Smith Machine
Does anyone have any experience with this? The first time I tried it, it hurt my traps so bad I couldn't do much of anything. I just tried again today with the pad on the bar and tweaked my back & therefore couldn't finish. I find I'm having a hard time keeping good form while using this as well, but there is not…

Weight Lifting Effects On Losing
Hey all- was just wondering what everyone's experience is if they lift and how that effects losing? I joined a gym a month ago and started logging again a week ago. I've lost inches, not so many pounds (obviously logging will help). I'm just wondering if the lifting will cause a slower rate of decreasing numbers on the…

Low Carb Sushi?
Does anyone know of any low carb sushi either takeout or to make at home? Has anyone tried replacing the rice with quinoa? (Obviously sashimi is the best choice, but I love the rolls!!)

HIIT Workouts
Hi all- I'm looking to incorporate some HIIT workouts into my treadmill routine which has been pretty static to this point. Can anyone make any recommendations either on workouts or resources to find good ones?

Macros & Protein Deficiency
Hi all- so I'm beginning to add a more conscious nutrition plan to my health regimen. To this point I've been eating pretty healthy, but not really losing weight. It wasn't until today that I realized I'm netting around 1200 calories on an average day which I know isn't enough to get me to my goals. That being said, the…

The Millionth Time
It feels like this is my Millionth Time getting started here... My problem is the stopping and becoming discouraged. Right now my struggle is with cutting down the amount of cheating every week from 3 meals to 1-2. I've started in the last month going to a local gym where I'm doing some cardio and mostly lifting 3x per…

Online Yoga Class
Does anyone have any recommendations for free online yoga classes? I've started taking free classes every weekend at the Lululemon store near me and I think I've finally found my thing. I really want to do this more than once a week though and the studios near me either have classes at times that are too inconvenient, or…

Little Victories... Right?
I started consistently logging again within the last 2 weeks. Just to give some background - when I originally started MFP I was around 225 and got down to around 204 a few years ago and that's the lowest weight I've been at. Since then my weight ballooned up to 235, my new highest weight. Now I feel like I keep waffling…

Piyo
I've just started doing a combination workout of Piyo and Turbo Jam... It's a lot of fun, but the problem I am running into is being unable to log Piyo... Any Piyo lovers out there, what do you log it in as?

Some progress... with picture
So I restarted my fitness journey in January - I've still got a long way to go, but I took this progress picture yesterday and I'm ecstatic!!! I couldn't be happier! I've only lost about 7.5 lbs so far, but I've definitely lost inches :) Hopefully I'll be able to post another picture soon!

Bingeing and Weight Gain...
I know it's all been said before on here, but I need to vent. Things didn't go my way last night because of the weather - a circumstance totally out of my control. I knew yesterday was a non-logging day and because I was upset that things didn't go my way I totally took advantage. I binged, something I've been trying to…

Starting with just walking...
So, I have asthma and recently quit smoking (was for 2 years in college... I know, it was dumb...) and so running right now seems totally out of the question. I'm getting winded just walking at approximately 3.5 mph for 20 minutes (when I get winded my chest becomes constricted and breathing becomes labored). When I go to…

Restarting
Hi all, I had a MFP account for about 3 years and when I had originally started I went from about 225lbs to 202lbs which was awesome, but then I hit a stalemate. Then started seeing a nutritionist and that didn't work out so well for me either. After trying diet pills, some fad diets and eventually giving up altogether for…
