Endocrinologist ever help anyone?
Hey everyone! Ok so I've been working really hard lately to get rid of those last 5-10 pounds and nothing is working! I've changed up my workouts, calorie cycled, carb cycled, tried "resetting" my body and I haven't lost anything. I also eat ridiculously clean (take a look at my diary if you'd like.) I stopped weighing…

What am I doing wrong?
Hey everyone! Ok, so like 5 months ago I plateaued and was really stuck. So then about 2 months ago I changed up my diet and exercise a lot (upped my calls, upped intensity during workout/interval training, switch between cardio and weights, and calorie cycling) and I have not lost weight at all. I gave up the scale and…

Gaining weight when I should be losing...
Yesterday I made a post about me gaining weight when I have been eating really really clean and exercising extra hard. Brief overview: I plateaued for like 5 months so I upped my calories and really got serious about eating clean and working out. I started my new routine on the first of April and was 120 pounds. I weighed…

Muscle Weight Gain?
Hey guys! Ok so I'm a little confused because I had plateaued back in March so I upped my calories and stopped exercising for about 2 weeks to try and reset my body. On the 1st of April I started exercising again (and completely changed my workout routine.) I have been exercising for 6 days a week and alternating between…

how long did it take you?
For anyone who has already met their goal weight, how long did it take you to lose your last 10 pounds? Finding that it is very slow for me. I know the closer you are to your goal weight the longer it takes and I'm working super hard. I know everybody is different but just curious as to how long it has taken others.

1g of protein per 1 lb of body weight?
I'm trying to lose my last 10 pounds and I'm trying to up my protein intake. I've read to eat 1g of protein for every pound of body weight. I'm 120 pounds so that seems like a lot of protein to me. The closest I've been able to get to 120g of protein is a little over 90g. I've found it really difficult to even get to 90g…

Muscle soreness
How do you guys deal with muscle soreness after you've done your workout? When I'm really sore I always feel like it would be really difficult to do my exercise but at the same time I want to exercise. However, I don't want to exercise when my muscles are really sore and hurt them further. I find that my muscle soreness…

What's the point...?
Alright, you guys are going to think this is a really dumb question but why do we need to eat back our exercise calories? For instance if I eat 1800 calories and burn 300 calories and then eat them back I'm back up to 1800. Even if I don't eat back the calories I'd still be at 1500 which isn't starvation mode. Seems very…

How much protein for fat loss?
So I'm about 10 lbs away from my goal weight and I had plateaued so I upped my calories and took a break from exercise for about two weeks in hopes to somewhat reset my body. I plan to continue eating around 1300-1400 cals on rest days and more on workout days depending on how much I burn. I am looking for fat loss and…

No appetite...
Does anyone else have days where you don't have any appetite? Today I never felt hungry except for in the morning when I ate breakfast and then the rest of the day I just wasn't hungry (and I didn't have some crazy huge breakfast either.) Later on during the day I wasn't hungry for actual food so I had a…

Accused of eating disorder because of diet..?
Almost 2 years ago I started getting healthy and losing weight. I was a little overweight when I first started using MFP and have gone down 3 pant sizes (I'm short so a little weight goes a long way with me.) I'm still not exactly where I want to be but am definitely a lot healthier. I never eat fast food, don't drink…

What's the best tasting protein powder?
I am currently looking for a new protein powder that is dairy free and gluten free. Also preferably one that is not too loaded with carbs. I am trying the high protein low carb thing. I was using the Vega ones since they're all natural but unfortunately they are naturally disgusting. Any recommendations?

Should I be logging every tiny thing?
Hi everyone! Ok so when I first joined MFP I was logging everything I did that burned calories...like cooking or playing the guitar. Lately I've stopped doing that but I was wondering if it really makes a difference. I have my settings at "lightly active" since I work out 3-5 times a week and am sitting at a desk most of…

Need some help and/or advice with this plateau
Hello again, I know I keep asking questions about plateauing but it can get really confusing to me. Alright so two weeks ago i upped my cals from 1200 to 1300-1500. I have only exercised maybe twice since then. I feel as if I have gained 10 pounds just from upping my cals because I feel like I have been eating so much…

Is this normal? I have been exercising and doing a lot more cardio since I generally…

5 month plateau...
Hello all, I joined MFP 2 years ago I believe and it has really helped me to lose weight. After having a mild eating disorder during my high school years I gained around 30 pounds. I have lost almost 25 pounds using MFP by exercising and eating 1200 calories. I know that everyone says 1200 calories is not enough but for…
