Do you KNOW your Body Fat %? If so, I need a favor.
I am suspecting that I've had a scam run on me. I recently went to a place to have a bod-pod done. The results came back 50% body fat- which was devastating. If you look at my profile pic, I think you'll agree, that there's just no way. I've found this estimator that goes on inches alone, and it puts me squarely in the…

Body fat percentage
I've been working so hard and doing it all right. Calorie deficit, hitting macros, super low carbs, gallon of water a day. 10 hours a week in the gym... But, getting no results. Of course everyone kept saying the old, "you're making muscle! That's why you're not losing weight!" I knew this was horse manure, but I allowed…

If you're an addictive weigher on the scale...
I am. I weigh at least once a day, usually several times a day. I feel so high when there is a loss, and so devastated at a gain or plateau. I know I need to break this habit.

diet, motivation-check! But... how do you Conquer DOUBT?
I have iron will power. Junk food? Carbs? Forget about it, I'm cool. I love running. I love strength training. I have no issues staying motivated to work out. My problem is patience. If I hit a plateau, which I have, I just wanna quit and admit defeat. How do you Conquer THAT?

Saw weight loss professional, had a metabolic panel done and went on a diet of her protocol and added phentermine. 13 pounds gone. Then, brick wall. I am not cheating on anything. I;m eating on average less than 50g of carbs…

What to ask a doctor?
I've been at this food diary and mfp for only a few weeks, but I've been actively trying to lose baby weight for 3 months. I've been sticking to a 1200 Cal a day with exercise routine. Um within all my nutrition elements except fat, which is the result of olive oil I used to dress my greens. Working o that... I feel great,…

Getting started, already doubtful
So I'm about 10 weeks post partum and determined to kick the remaining 20 pounds of baby weight, and then the 40 pounds on top of that that need to go. I've heard such great things about mfp, bit after filling out my details I feel like there is no way this can work! Mainly because I'm currently consuming about 700-1000…
