Finding a balance
Hii! I'm having a bit of trouble here. I'll speak to my dietitian soon, but I'm hoping to hear more perspectives sooner. I was dealing with anorexia for a while and then I've been in recovery for 5 months now. I still get really really nervous when I eat though it's a comfort knowing that I put everything down here on mfp…

Watermelon
Does anyone know if the natural sugars in fruits are as harmful to weight loss as refined sugars that you would get in processed foods. I just added watermelon to my food tracker and I knew it was really sweet, but it has many more sugar grams than I thought it would.

Has anybody done Weight Watchers?
I did WW in college and lost about 15 pounds. After gaining most of it back over the past couple of years, I decided to start counting my points again. The only problem is that I could lose 5 pounds counting WW points, but then the weight just stopped coming off. I finally met with a PT to ask him about it, and he told me…

Kellogg Protein Water Mix
So, I picked up a box of these last weekend, and just found them in my work desk drawer. I figure, 'ooh, pink lemonade, why not?' These things are AWESOME! 30 calories, 5 grams of protein, and 5g of fiber. Just tear the tip and mix it in a 20 oz bottle of water. And they taste really good too. I definately reccomend! I'm…

low-cal ranch?
Can anyone reccommend a good low-cal ranch dressing that I could find at a major grocery store? I love those wishbone spritzers for italian, but I am at a loss when I want ranch. Usually if I order low-cal ranch somewhere it tastes nasty and I'd almost rather not eat it then eat the low cal stuff. Also, I love how most…

Too many calories?
Is anyone ever afraid that you ate too much? I followed the advice of all of the people that have had a lot of success and ate all of my calories (with exercise). I feel like I ate WAY too much. I double checked and made sure I added everything I ate. I guess it is better than starving. I think maybe it is just that we are…

Wendy's Frosty
In case no one realized they come this small, the original frostys at wendys (before they created those horrible for you but yummy looking new shakes) come in a junior size that isn't only about twice the size of a shot glass. It's so tiny and cute, but if your craving something I thought it was really just enough to hit…

310 Calories less? Why?
Just curious, I checked in this morning at 230 pounds, and was prompted by MFP to re-evaluate my caloric intake. So, I filled out all of my information as normal, and I was expecting it to go up. It had been at 1510 calories a day. My new goal? 1200 calories a day. This seems kind of strange, considering my body is getting…
