Discouraged
I have to take a moment to whine and have a pity party..forgive me. So for almost a month now I have been watching my calorie intake, excercising and overall making better choices. I am upset because I haven't even dropped a pants size yet. I don't understand what I am doing wrong. I usually excercise every other day if…

can you lose weight from just caloire and no exercise
I know it's not recommended, you will lose weight slower, and it won't tone your body but I was just wondering. I'm exercising and don't plan to stop, just wanted to know.

Really Hard to Lose Weight
I've been trying to lose weight for several years. From a high of 215 lbs, I managed to get down to 160 lbs. last year. I'm now back up to 171.6 this morning. I "run" (that is, run as far as I can, walk a little ways, then run again - generally running about 60% to 80% of the time) 4.7 mi 4 days a week. On the 5th day I do…

Make "right decisions" a goal.
Make "right decisions" a goal. Do you set goals and track your progress? It's a well-known fact that you are more likely to reach a goal if you write it down and monitor your growth. If you've been struggling to make good choices, make "making good choices" your goal. Create a chart, and put a star or other positive symbol…

Running for 6 week and no weight loss
I started running about six weeks ago in an effort to get healthy and loose the loose weight. I started off weighing 145 lbs. After six weeks of running six days a week, I have not lost any weight. I feel like my clothes might be fitting better, but I haven't done measurements. I am so discouraged. I am going to start…

I asked her how she did it, and she said " I stopped eating grains and rice" thats it... She proceeded to tell me how she can eat cheesecake as long as she doesnt eat…

Losing weight in a healthy way.
I've been on this site actively for just over a week now and have noticed a few things. For the most part, it looks like people are eating healthy, consuming the right amount of calories, and exercising like they should be to lose weight in a healthy way. With that said, I do see quite a few people who aren't doing it the…

How about an off day?
So, what does everyone think about allowing yourself to have an off day? And I mean, an all-out, anything goes, one day per week stuff-your-face fest. A friend of mine who is a chef in a local restaurant has lost over 70 pounds, and he told me that he allowed himself to eat anything he could fit into his stomach every…

At the movies
I'm going to the movies today, and this is the first time I'm going since I started my weight loss journey. I definately want to stay on track, so what would be the best movie snack to get? Something gummy? Or should I just go with Raisinettes? Any advice would be great!

In Search Of A Scale...
I've been trying to find a reliable scale, preferably one which measures body fat percentage. I bought a Taylor Body Fat scale today from Kohls and I'm not sure if I'm happy with it. The measurement definitely changes and if I move it, the scale "remembers" the previous weight I had it. Does anyone have this scale and can…

No loss yet... any insights?
I've just finished my first week on here and I thought it was all going well. I had a cheeky mid week weigh in on Thursday afternoon, and I was 143.5 (this is at 3pm) so I automatically thought "oooh, I've lost maybe a pound". But this morning for my "official weigh in" I was 143. And I checked 3 times. I'm really down…

How long do you have to plateau...
before you just re-evaluate your goals? I have been stuck at 155 since January. I've moved up and down 3ish pounds here and there, but that's my base weight at this point. I'm 5'4", so all the "data" says I should be 145 or less. I have been saying for like 4 years that my goal weight is 135. I'm beginning to think I'm…

Ways to flush out system
Right now, my digestive tract is moving sooo...slooowwww... Things are taking at least a week to make it through even though I eat plenty of fiber.

finding motiviation
Hey all! I am relatively new to the site, and I enjoy it very much. I like being able to track my food and see what I am eating. However, I am finding it very hard to find the motivation to get my but moving. I can find every excuse not to excercise and that is what is holding me back from losing the weight I need to lose.…

illness - what do you do?
What do you do when your feeling under the weather? I've had a nasty cold for most of the week, but have managed to stick to my cals all but one day. My hubby and Mum have started nagging me to eat more, at least until I feel better as I'm having a hard time shaking it off and frankly I look like death. While I don't want…

Anxiety-good
I finally found a good use for anxiety.......Today is my bridal shower and I'm anxious (nervous/excited) so I just got in an hour bike ride so that I can enjoy the food without feeling guilty, and I burned about an extra 120 calories today. It's got to be from the anxiety, I cannot exactly feel my heart racing, but there…

Something must be wrong with my calorie goal
MFP has set me at 1370 calories per day. I'm 5'7' and 239.6 pounds. The problem is I know of other MFP users that weigh LESS than me and yet get way more calories than I do. My goals are set to lose 2 pounds a week. Why are my calories set so low? Or does that sound about right?

Some ???
1. What are recommended proportions for fat, protein, and carb? I have heard 30,40, 30 as one -- but I always seem to be over on carbs and under on protein with that. 2. What does "bump" mean? Is it like, props/good job? Or is there a way to bump messages/posts to the top of your topics that are more important to you?…

The "Tare" button--my new best friend!
I suspect most normal people already know this, but for the few slow learners like myself, I thought I would share my "slap myself in the forehead" epiphany. I am sure that most of your scales have a "tare" function which resets the display to zero after you have placed a container, etc on the scale. That's the most…
