Nights out / drinking
Hi everyone, I'm almost two weeks in and doing great so far! This site is really helping. I was wondering, what do other members do about nights out, either at restaurants or going for a drink? I have no idea about the nutritional value of restaurant meals, so how do you track your calories, fat, etc.? As for alcohol, I…

Going too fast..?
Okay. Here's the deal: I have been aiming at dropping about 1 - 1.5 lbs a week for the whole time I've been at this. Just two lbs more and I'm at the high end of the healthy BMI range and soon I'll start to slow the rate down to 0.5 - 1 lbs a week to ease into my target weight. For a long time I have kept my deficit at…

I need tips for eating less
I swear I would be in such great shape if only I could have self control over my eating! I workout all the time, and I work out HARD! I don't mind doing it, but I wish that I didn't have so much trouble eating everything around me. Does anyone have some helpful tips for feeling less hungry and eating less? Thanks!

Consumed all my calories too soon!
So, due to my hectic college schedule, I often wake up very early on the weekends for work, but stay up very late doing homework. I am usually up from 6:30 am till 1:00 am but make up the sleep the next day. Thats almost 19 hours! It's 5pm here and i've pretty much finished my calories for the day eating fairly healthy…

I don't know how to feel about this. Bad Habit?
I'm really good about sticking to my calorie limits. I do have one habit though, and I'm not sure whether it's that "bad" or not. Thoughts? Often, I'll go on a really long hike or bike ride and burn what I consider to be an insane amount of calories. (Today was an example of that, I burned about 1,000 on a six mile hike -…

weight watchers
I am thinknig about going bac k to Weight watchers AGAIN ( for the 8th? time?). I'm just losing hope. I know that this site can work, but I am still lacking so much motivation. Maybe if I am in a group setting, it would help. Of course, I would have to go to the meetings every week. But, it's 40 a month for basically the…

Afraid to eat out
I know the normal tricks - divide your food in half and take a doggie bag home etc., soup to start etc. but I feel like there is NOTHING I can order. When you are only on 1200 cal a day - does anything in a restaurant fit the budget? Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks so much.

Eating out
We went to Runnymede and did a long walk, to the site of the Magna Carta, the John F Kennedy Memorial and the Air Force Memorial, plus all along the river, that's the good bit. The naughty bit is that we called in the Harvester on the way home and I had Scampi, Chips and peas. Now my problem is, I put it in the diary and…

CHEESE!
What does everyone think about me trying to go without cheese period? I figure as long as I get calcium somewhere else (which I do) it shouldn't be a big deal. But then again I'm not a nutrituionist. So I take it here and see what you all think. Thanks! Brian

Ate less calories, no weight loss?
Hey guys, Okay so this week I tried to eat less than 200-500 calories than I usually eat. My result is very poor. I did not loose any weight, so I'm thinking maybe I need to push my calorie intake instead. I've been sticking with 1200, and yes I know I starved myself this week. But I only wanted to test what would happen…

Plateau- should I up my calories?
I have been yo-yo-ing a pound off & on for a month now. I can't believe that at eating 1200 calories & exercising, I am not losing weight. I have increased my cardio & continue to increase it as it gets easier. I am really dedicated to eating right & I do cardio in the form of jogging every day. I started weight training a…

Not losing any more weight...
I've been tracking my food and exercise every day since mid-April. At the end of the day on the food log it says "If every day was like today.... you'd weigh XX in 5 weeks." Well, in my case it's almost 15 pounds off! Meaning that it's 15 pounds less than where I am! 5 weeks ago I was the same weight I am now. I seem to be…

Mixed Emotions
Someone else's post propelled me to want to write this. The person wanted to quit. In the post that person specified they are following a specific diet so I can see how the word quit may apply to that person. But for me this is not a quit situation, this isn't intended to be something I start and then stop once I have…

Anemic and vegetarian
Anyone else out there like me? I'm finding it really hard to meet my RDA of iron. Ok, I'll be honest, I don't even come close. I currently take 3 65mg iron pills daily (per my doctor) and I do believe my hemoglobin is probably at an acceptable number now. I know the symptoms that I have when it's really low and those have…

I'm getting a bit obsessed
In the past when dieting (successfully) I got very obsessed with exactly what I ate, how much, and when. I would inevitably find myself at the end of the day with more than half my alloted calories still in the bank. I usually don't eat them then, and so starts another cycle of 'I can't stay on this diet!" I just looked at…
