ARGGGGGGGGGGGH!
That about sums it up. It's a dreaded PLATEAU. Help! I'm so tired of seeing the same number on my scale. I'm so very close to passing a mile stone too! ARGH! I've tried shocking my body. Gained a couple pounds from that, started losing it and thought it would continue through that mile stone number but... nope. My scale is…

What am I doing wrong?
Hi, I know for all of you who've been stuck on a plateau for like a month will probably find this post pretty frustrating (!), but after a consistent 2lbs loss a week for the first 3 weeks I seem to have stalled... in about 10 days I've only lost 1/2 a pound, and I was wondering if anyone could flick through my diary and…

I started on here last weekend and on my 1st weigh in I have managed to lose 3lbs!!!!! I'm so chuffed that its finally going in the right direction. I just…

Quitting drinking soda
How do wean yourself off of it? I drink so much a day, but I can't be having this much sodium anymore, and I won't have any weight loss.

Having a hard time getting enough calories...
I know that sounds a little crazy, but I am having a REALLY hard time getting 1200 calories/day. My goal is set to 1550, but I can't seem to get there. I eat healthy foods throughout the day but then it gets to the end of the day and I still have 400-500 left. Last night I thought I would make a smoothie with almond milk,…

Question about exercise and calories
I am new to this, I have been "dieting" for a week now. I have been counting calories and eating 1200-1300 a day. My question is, today I burned a bunch of calories by cleaning my entire house (that sounds silly) and taking my daughter for a walk at the park....so do I "need' to eat more than my normal 1200-1300, or do I…

Calories for Resturants?
I have no idea how man calories this chinese food is and i don't want to guess. I highly doubt that its the whole 979 cals i have left today. Should i just record it and just leave the cals blank?

8 Hours of Sleep?
How much sleep do you average each night? There's the 8 hour rule, but I just don't see how it's possible to get 8 hours of sleep. On the weekdays I usually get about 6.5-7 and on the weekends I get 7-8. I'm thinking about fitting some of my workouts in the morning, but I don't want to go to bed too much earlier than I…

Free days, good or bad?
As my weigh-in day treat for losing, I gave myself a free pass today and ate whatever I wanted. It was fun, partly because I know from being on here that I have the willpower to limit the free pass to one day. I thought maybe a once/week free day as a reward for losing might be kind of nice so I don't get burned out. I'm…

At home work outs!
Hey everyone! I'm a single mom of two beautiful girls, who works a full time job and runs around with her head cut off to take care of the children (explaining how i have this tummy is very difficult because I can make sense of it * XD * lol ) I don't have much time for the gym or classes, but I would like to figure it out…

4 days of being unhealthy....
Ok, so my bosses fed the homecoming court last Friday evening, and we have all kinds of left over cookies, chips, snacks, and cake. I have been so unhealthy all week long! I feel awful, and tonight we are going to the in-laws for supper. Bummer. Talk about soul food. Everything is drowned in butter! So if I eat poorly this…

Makeup for a high calorie day?

I am down to only 300 more cals for the day, after I exercise, I may be back up to 500 - 600, but today is my hubby's bday and we're going to Red Lobster for the All-You-Can-Eat Shrimp Fest, and while I don't plan on eating as much as I usually do, and I will order steamed…

Calling all "apples"
I know bodies come in all shapes and sizes, but I'm clearly what could be called an "apple".... larger in the tummy and on top than the bottom. Buying suits is a nightmare because I always need a bigger size on top than on bottom, and when I shop for pants it is a challenge to find a pair large enough in the waist without…

Negative Nancy Today
Hello all! My name is Tarran. I heard about MFP through a friend at work and I downloaded the application onto my phone and I started to use it, I have heard lots of positive feedback, so I am excited. I am cancelling my weight watchers membership most likely if I see success with this. Anywho- I weigh about 260... I had a…

What diet are you on?
Just out of curiosity - what kind of diet/exercise program do you use? I bought Tom Venuto's BFFM book 5 years ago and lost the weight from my first child with it. Now I am using it to lose weight from my second child and I just love it! But it does require a lot of work - I count calories and food ratios religiously…

HELP NEEDED... I DO NOT STAY ON TRACK LONGER THEN TWO WEEKS
I have weighed the same for one year and have tried to lose weight from having my baby. Well this month my son turned one and I still weigh the same amount. I am frustrated at the fact that I have done this to myself and will do well for about two weeks and then will go back to my old ways for two months. The same cycle…

Weight loss questions
I've heard before that when you burn too much and eat too little your weight will plateau, but it doesn't make sense to me. Do you know why that happens? Shouldn't calories burned+ calories not eaten = weight loss? Also, on days that I exercise, I still don't eat over 1200 calories, just because I'm making better food…

What other diets have you tried?
I was just wondering, what crazy diets have you tried? I've done Weight Watchers several times. I was a teenager the first time that I joined and I felt like I was starving. I would gorge when my parent's weren't looking! LOL! ( I did it before there even were points!) When I was a teenager I did Slim Fast. I also took…

Athlete's Honey Milk
Has anyone tried Athlete's Honey Milk? I tried it and it tastes AWESOME! It is about 200 cals and 20 grams of protein. I have had one heck of a time trying to find a tasty protein shake and think I have finally found one. Does anyone know anything about it?
