Vegan food diaries
Hi! Just a shout out to any vegans with open diaries - would love some inspiration! I do want to lose some weight slowly but my main concern at the moment is just using MFP to track nutrients and make sure I'm getting a decent balance. Cheers!

Knees aching after running
Over a year ago I did C25K, and had NEVER done any running before. When I first started out it hurt my knees a little bit but I bought new running shoes and it went away. I then didn't manage to complete the full program as I got pregnant. Fast forward to 6 and a half months post baby and I've now done 3 runs. The first…

10 Weeks, 12lbs - Progress Pics
Well I know it isn't a massive loss but I really like to see pics of when people have lost 10-20lbs as it can make a really big difference, so here's my 12lbs down progress pic. Lots of work to do still, and I'm not sure if I'll ever end up with a super flat tummy as I've had a baby now and will probably have a second some…

Right - what should I be doing?
Hello, I'm new to this group. I've basically read too much about how good lifting heavy stuff is not to give it a go. But - I'm not particularly fit. I always hated sports and PE lessons at school and consequently have always been far too inactive. I'm really not that strong, I can't do even one proper push up or sit-up.…

Body fat % question!
When can you expect to see a body fat percentage change? I've lost 8lbs so far and my scales are still telling me I'm either 35 or 36%, I would have thought it would go down a little bit? Like just 1% even! I've not been exercising LOADS but plenty of squats and push ups (against the wall as that's all I can manage at the…

Hard to Hit Macro %
Hello, I've been logging every day for 5 weeks now, losing weight slowly and trying to eat sensibly instead of always skipping meals in the week and binging on weekdays like I used to! I'm slowly upping my exercise, trying to do simple bodyweight exercises every other day to up my strength and this week I've just started…

Upping Protein without meat overload
Right. I am a bit of a state. I'm 5' 8" tall and currently have a 41 chest, 41 belly and 40 hips. I've read things about this being indicative of a 'carb sensitive body' whatever that means?! I've been eating really healthily and averaging around 1500 calories a day for 3 weeks now - but I don't like to eat too much meat.…

Starting Lifting - How?
I've been reading a little bit about lifting for women and I reckon this is what I want to do. I've never done anything like this before however, and I'm pretty unfit. I also haven't got space in my rented house for lots of equipment and I can't really go to a gym three times a week as I have a 6 month old baby to take…

Food DIary Advice - Am I eating too little?
I've been seeing a lot on here about eating too few calories, I have my weight loss goal set to 1lb a week which gives me 1600 calories to eat in a day. I go under this a lot of the time, but then on weekends I have gone over (sometimes by quite a lot!!) Will this average out over the week? I'd be really grateful if anyone…

Hello! Please add me!
Hi there, I'm 29 and trying to lose roughly 35lbs after having my first baby back in January! Trying to do the sensible thing and eat really healthy food - I've done too many crash diets in the past and I think my metabolism has suffered for it. I'd love to be able to get a bit of support and motivation, and even diet…

Hi, Hello, Good Afternoon!
Hello, Well, here I am introducing myself. I've been on here for a couple of weeks now, just trying to get used to logging my food, and now it seems to have started to form a habit! I am shocked by finding out how many calories are in things. I never paid attention before and actually must have been eating a good 3-4000…
