Junk Food vegan food made me gain 27 pounds
Three years ago I watched the video, "Forks Over Knives" and changed overnight from Keto to a whole foods, plant based lifestyle. I lost 75 pounds and in the beginning, it was fairly easy to lose weight even though I didn't always log my food in MFP. To lose the last 25 pounds, I did have to strictly log my food. However,…

I lost my streak
I had a streak of about 380 days and forgot to log in the other day. I've heard that you can ask to have your numbers reset. Does anyone know how I would go about it? Thanks in advance!
-
What do you regret eating today? Did you log it?
I opened a Nature Valley bar. I thought it was the protein bar covered with chocolate but it was covered in a white coating and, fool that I am, I proceeded to eat the entire thing even though I didn't really enjoy it. I didn't like logging those calories! Do you regret anything you ate today? Did you log it?

Busting the myth that 1200 calories is enough

Can somebody tell me why this is happening?
The other day and now today as well, when I try to enter my weight loss (5 pounds), my ticker and home page went from 30 pounds lost to over 200 pounds lost. What is going on?

Need help with ticker please
I just recorded a five pound weight loss (over several weeks) and my ticker went from 30 pounds lost to over 200 pounds lost. I can't figure out why it's doing this but maybe if I can find my ticker again I can fix it. I can't remember how to get back to my ticker. Please help if you know.

Introduction
Okay--I figured it out--you're just now starting this group and the Ketogenics post was your only one so far. I live in Alamo and am a non-traditional student at South Texas College. I also joined the gym on campus so when school is in session, I'm working out there after classes (in Weslaco). My husband and I have lived…

Do you have a strategy for Thanksgiving yet?
Hi everyone, I know that there are plenty of people on here who will use Thanksgiving as a cheat day. And I'm not criticizing that decision in the least. If it works for you--great! But for me, I have made up my mind that I am going to cook Thanksgiving dinner for my husband I (the closest family is hundreds of miles…

Do your macros and calorie limits ever come out even?
I have been following a recommendation (which has been resulting in weight loss) to consume in a day: 1620 calories, 150 grams carbs, 60 grams fat, and 120 grams protein. NEVER do my calories and macros come out even or come even close. Either I have used all my macros but still have calories left or I have no more…

Temporary Weight Gain with Strength Training
I just recently began strength training every day (alternating different parts of the body) and I have gained a pound or two. My diet hasn't changed and I continue to do cardio as well. I am fairly sure this is probably normal, but how long can I expect to see either gaining a little weight or stalling in my weight loss?
-
What do you forget to log (or get careless about logging)?
For me it's nonstick spray and sugar-free gum.

Need Assistance--Is undereating stalling my weightloss?
Sarah or Side Steel (or anyone else for that matter), I've been in this group for a few weeks now and have tried to read as many of the excellent links that have been provided. I have been attempting to eat at my TDEE minus 20%. Scooby calculates my TDEE as 2339 based on light exercise which means I should eat 1871…

Strength Training with bad knees
I am 63 and weigh about 238. I'm not losing weight fast but it's coming off little by little. Currently I'm getting in lots of walking and time on the exercise bike and doing just a little strength training--but want to do more. However, some of the exercises I was doing such as squats and lunges really, really hurt my…

Do you see my diary?
I have my diary set to public but I don't think anyone can see it. What else do I need to do?

Kinda Scared
Hi everyone, I was just told today that I am hypothyroid after my lab test came back with a TSH of 4.45. My doctor prescribed 25 mcg of synthroid which I'll start tomorrow. I don't know how long I could have had this condition but I did gain 30 pounds in the last year and a half. I'm always tired and need a nap almost…

Bathroom Scales Recommendations?
Hey everybody! I have a pair of Weight Watchers scales (digital) and I am frustrated because very often I will weigh in the morning after getting up and I think that the number can't be right. So I weigh 30 minutes later (not eating or anything) and it's almost a pound and a half lower. So then I don't know which weight is…

Would some kind person please provide a link to the fitbit forum? I would like to join it because mine will be delivered next week and I want to understand better how it works. Thanks in advance!

How do I change my macros?
I used to be able to change my percentages of carbs, proteins, fats, and sugars but now I can't figure out how. Did something change when they made all those changes a few days ago? Thanks!

Progressive Resistance Training
I saw that someone had recommended Progressive Resistance Training to another member. Since I didn't have any idea what it meant, I googled it and found this: http://www.exrx.net/Questions/BasicProgram.html It seems like a good, common sense plan to me. What do all of you think who are into this kind of workout? I…

Although I am retired from a career, I am back in college to hone my writing skills (would like to be a published writer). so, like…

I did it--logged in my Thanksgiving meal!
Since I was the cook for my husband and myself, I knew what went into the food and I was also able to do a few calorie modifications. With the lower in fat pumpkin pie I made, the total is just over 1,000 calories using my best estimates from the MFP database. I had an average serving of: Turkey and Gravy Sweet Potatoes…

Uh-Uh! Logan's Roadhouse
I had a buy one, get one coupon from the internet but boy did I make some bad choices of the menu.. When I got home and put what I ate into MFP, I thought I would fall over. My total for lunch was 1359 calories! I had 1/2 rack of BBQ ribs, 2 of their rolls, house salad with about 1/2 t. dressing, and a vegetable skewer.…

Cruises = Weight Gain
Hi everyone, I've been involved with MFP for about eight months and I'm still very happy with this site. However, my husband and I went crazy this past year and booked lots of cruises and as a result I've done 10 cruises this year (72 cruise days). In my mind, I thought I only gained about 10 pounds since last February but…

Hello from South Texas
I am finding myfitnesspal.com very user friendly compared to other similar websites. I also was successful in adding the app to my smart phone and so I will have no excuses in not logging my daily food and exercise. I also like the idea that exercise entitles me to a few extra calories if I need them. Another thing I am…
