Those with Thyroid issues???
What were (if any) of your symptoms that led to you discovering you had a thyroid issue. I have been working out 5-6 days a week for over a month and eating on average 1200 calories and have only lost 1-2lbs and an inch off my measurements. I'm getting so frustrated. I've also been feeling (for quite some time) very…

Help with recording recipes!
I have the read the often referred to post about the recipe database and I'm still confused. EVERYTHING I type in brings up recipes with *. It's very rare I find something that doesn't have it, so then I look for confirmations....again hard to find them with multiple confirmations. How would I record something like this. I…

Recipe Logging help?
So if I'm making my own recipe..say tuna egg salad and measuring everything as I put it together, how do I determine how many servings there are?? Do I just divide it up into serving sizes and weigh it?

Macros keep reverting back??!!
Am I the only one. I've changed my macros manually and they keep reverting back? It's getting super frustrating and I don't know why it keeps doing this. Is it because of my exercise calories that get added in? Just a system issue?

BMR or MFP? Conflicting numbers
So, I've searched and this seems to be a common problem. MFP calculates 1200 calories for me...Scooby's Workshop (http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/) calculates my BMR at 1560 and my calorie intake with a 20% reduction is 1460. On IIFYM my BMR is 1471 and my calorie intake with 20% reduction is 1413. All this…

Opinions on how to log this??
Okay so I've been "enlightened" that I need to weigh everything...even pre-packaged stuff. So, how do I enter it if it's pre-packaged and the weight it comes in at is different than the weight on the packaging. For example. Nature Valley Blueberry Breakfast biscuit bars. They're weighing 2 oz., but the packaging and NI is…

How do you measure??
Do you pull your measuring tape as tight as you can or just pull it taut?

Gained 2 lbs...just can't seem to lose??
Can someone please take a look at my diary from the beginning of April. With the exception of 4/17 everything is as accurate as I could get it. I've tried only eating back about half my calories or working out extra to make up for days I over ate my goal. A bit earlier this week my scale said I'd lost another 2 lbs (only…

What do you do about cookouts??
So I went to an easter party tonight and there was such a variety of food it was crazy. I'm just not even sure how to log it? Do you run into situations like this and just skip logging it? Plug in what you think you could've eaten? I just picked at a bunch of different stuff. Hate getting off track like this but what are…

RI30? Move on before mastering week or stay until mastered?
What did you do? By mastering I mean being able to complete the entire session without a break at all and keeping pace.

Is it really possible to get enough Protein??
Seriously, I've been trying to eat enough protein to meat my daily goal, but I'm just even sure how to reach it. I discovered a pretty high protein breakfast that I like this morning but then realized my macros were still messed up and I should really be aiming for 115-120 grams. I'm just not sure if that's even possible…
-
Can someone look at my macros?
This week I'm really focusing on trying to get my diet/exercise put in as accurately as possible. So, I read a post about macros, followed some links and did some calculations and adjusted my macros accordingly (I think) with a focus of about 30% macros. I'm wanting to lose weight without sacrificing muscle. I'm looking to…

Jillian Michael's fans....
How do you typically log her workouts? As 30 minute kickboxing? Only 20 minutes because of warm-up/cool-down?? Just curious how others log it.
-
How do you know what to pick??
So, obviously cooking from scratch is healthier, but when I type in the food (say sauteed zucchini and squash), how do I know which one to pick. Sometimes they're extremely different. I plugged in one and it was 270 calories and a different one and it was only 105??

Anyone ever do SportSkool??
I recently discovered it's available on demand (Verizon Fios) and I love the kickboxing classes with Sensei Guillermo Gomez. Just wondering if anyone else has ever done them or heard of him. If not, I highly recommend checking him out!

Breathing actually really does make a difference
Haaa...some I'm sure are thinking duh! I decided to actually pay real attention to my breathing today and with every exertion (whether it was pushing that pedal down on my bike, lifting out of a lunge, or pushing those weights) I exhaled. I couldn't believe what a difference it made. The time on my bike just flew by and at…

HRM Suggestions/Opinions?
I'm doing mostly circuit training/kickboxing classes, with some lifting and bike riding. I'm looking for something to give me a good accurate calorie burn without costing me an arm & a leg. Suggestions??

Still have 1000 calories left, HELP!
I need stuff high in calories, carbs, fat and protein but low in sugar. Any suggestions. My diary should be open (do I have to complete today's entry for you to see it?) This is what my typical daily meals look like, and yes everything for today is completely accurate.

Look at my diary please??
I have a feeling I'm not losing weight because I'm not eating enough protein? I've been working out intensely for almost a month and although I've seen a difference measurement wise, I'm not seeing any difference in my weight. It's getting very frustrating. I'm 5'6", 168, F. I am wanting to lose about 30 lbs and was hoping…

Newbie here!
Hi everyone, Just decided it was time to get off the couch and feel a bit better about myself. Started a couple weeks ago with a pretty intense workout routine and I've been going strong for 2 weeks now. Working out 5-6 days/week. I am getting a bit frazzled because I don't seem to be losing much weight yet. I started…
