CICO and Menopause
I have a question. 5 years ago, as I entered peri Menopause, I managed to lose 47lbs. That was a 2 year process. As I’ve gotten older and deeper into Menopause, I’m struggling to shift weight. 21lbs is back on (that took 13 months). I plateau’d and now the scale is shifting slowly in the wrong direction again. I’ve always…

Back again
13 months ago I took a break from MFP and have gained back 13lbs. In total I had lost 43lbs over a 2 year period. So, am back and gonna work hard to get it off. Harder this time out as I’m in full peri menopause.

Perimenopause support?
Officially 3 yeas in but unofficially more like 6. Is there many of us on the weight loss and/or maintenance bandwagon?

Has anyone done it, (doing it) and any feedback for me? I'm tempted but I'm wary too (fad?) Thanks.

How do you cope when long term illness keeps you from exercising
4 months today my health collapsed. I went from training 5-6 days a week to nothing. I was an aerialist, weight lifted, did body weight conditioning, handstands and splits training. I thought I would be better by now but alas no. I've had 2 relapses and round after round of medication and I've not been cleared to return to…

2 year anniversary, anything and everything is possible
Two tears ago today I started my journey on MFP. I weighed in at 12 stone 7lbs that morning. I am 5'8" tall. At my heaviest I weighed 13 stone (see pix below). I was particularly heavy in my tummy, had large upper arms, a fat face. I hated how I looked. Mirrors made me shudder in disgust so I avoided them. I hated how I…

Do I need a weighted barbell squat in my home routine
Can't afford to renew my gym membership so am hoping to do some weights at home. I've seen a bar and some plates for sale and could shoulder press, curl etc but I've no room for a rack so weighted squats would be out. Are they crucial or can I work around/without them. They are one of my favourites and I do miss them but…

Barbell length
I'm quitting my gym (long story, unhappy experience) and although I train a lot aerially, I'm missing my weight lifting. I've seen a second hand set locally, for the price of 3 months in said gym. It's 75kgs of plates (10, 5, 2.5, etc) with a barbell. There are three sizes of barbell 4.5, 5, 6 foot. I'm a 5'8" lady,…

Do you trust the MFP food database
Am curious whether people trust it or not. I know a lot of them are user inputs so just wondering what the consensus is on how accurate they are. For me, I look for the verified entries or create my own entries and use labels as a guide. What do you guys think/do?

But of a technical question
how do I delete friends who are now an "invalid user" when I clock on their profile. I have 4 who have been offline for more than 2 months.

Freekeh, cooked, calorie value
Anyone know the calorie value of 50g cooked freekeh? Or even 100g? I've an uncooked value on the box but can't source a cooked value. Searched the database with nothing. Or is cooked and uncooked the same. Thanks.

Logging in with no internet or wifi?
I'm in Ireland. Tomorrow I am going to my holiday home which Is a cottage on a remote Atlantic island. There is no mobile phone signal and no wifi or Internet. I'll be there for a week. I don't want to lose my streak, and would like to be able to log every day. I will get to the mainland a couple of time to check-in but…

Active Irish users?
I log on every day and am looking for new MFP buddies.

Any pole girls (or boys)?
Hello, I'm a pole girl. I train in studio 2 times a week and at my home pole 4-5 times. My style is the gymnastics/ballet end of pole. Wondering how you log your pole fitness schedule for weight loss on MFP? At the moment I'm not logging my pole training at all :-( I've lost 28lbs (took me about 10 months) and now am on…

Hello. 2 weeks into MFP.
Hi all. So, I have 24lbs to lose. Started slimming world and hated it. Lost 4.5lbs, which was disappointing for all the effort and time put in. I've just been told I'm menopausal :-( prematurely which has complicated my goals. So I left SW and, 2 weeks ago I downloaded the MFP to my ipad and joined a gym. Am now doing…
