Support Group in Cincinnati?
Hey people! I've been on this site for a few weeks now and I really enjoy the conversations and support from each and every one of you. I got to thinking, it would be kind of cool to have people who live in or near my city (Cincinnati) to form a support group for health, fitness and nutrition. Maybe this could lead to…

lost 4.4kg (out of 12kg), but not changing shape
I changed my diet mid-July, and started exercising beginning of August. I needed to lose 12kg, and have lost 4.4kg (almost 10lbs) so far, going from 82kg to 77.6kg. So I'm supposedly over a third of the way to my goal weight. However, apart from losing a little fat from my face and chin, and gaining a little muscle in the…

help...went from eating 900 calories to 1200 and now always
Prior to starting this program I used to only eat around 900 calories, mostly because I was not ever hungry. Then I read the article about not eating enough. I started making sure that I ate 1200 calories spread out throughout the day. Now I am hungry all the time and find myself eating way more than 1200 calories. I wake…

Daily Calorie Goals - adjustments
When you go over your daily calorie allowance is it ok to reduce your caloric intake the next day or days to make up the difference from going over that previous day? The majority of the time I do eat all of the alloted 1230 calories but at times I do go over.:blushing:

as if eating could get any harder.....
So I had nutrition testing done today - I already knew I was gluten intolerant, but soy and corn too? What in the world am I supposed to eat without feeling horrible? I am already having such a hard time getting calories in - I do not want to drop any more weight! This added stress is not giong over well with me!

I'm allergic to everything.
Hello everyone, I've tried losing weight before, and I've also lost weight without trying, but that was because of a very specific lifestyle that can't be replicated at home (long story short, I was away at college and ate nothing but ramen and honey buns...but walked about five hours a day). But when I'm busy, I can…

Need Some Input About Cals =)
My daily intake is 1,200cal w/o exercise (it already subtracts 500cals). T daily intake goes up by how much cals burned during exercise. So from 1,200 up to 2,000 (but on average it's 1,800), is how much cals I should consume to lose weight (i normally eat half of my workout cals - so an average my daily intake for me is…

Water helps make the decision!
I drink a lot of water! A wicked lot of water- that is really all I drink except for my morning coffee and if I have a cocktail. I was on vacation this week at a cabin, where the water tasted like a hose. I couldn't get myself to drink it-I had to drink Tang, and seeing I don't like to drink anything sugary-I didn't drink…

Calorie chart info
Hey there everyone! My doctor suggested that I visit this website, so here I am. I just now joined, filled in the required info, and the chart that came up said that I needed to eat 384 carbs a day.

2 months of plateau - where might I be going wrong?!
Hello everyone! I've been stuck at the same weight for the past 2 months now, after 2 really successful months of "results". I haven't been eating crazily low amounts of cals (although it sometimes feels like it for me!) in that I aim for 1550/day. I have a balanced diet (at least I think so) with a good mix of fresh…

Although the package shows a…

Eating all of your calories
Hey gang! I am having a problem eating all of my calories. I am allowed 1200 per day, but I usually range between 800 and 1000. I honestly am full by the end of the day. I think that's because I'm eating better foods that keep me full. That, and all of the water I've been drinking! But I don't want to slow up my weight…

Is it true that MFP doesnt adjust your calories down with yo
Hi all I've only been here a week so just checking, but have just come across a comment that says that your calorie allowance is NOT adjusted down when you lose pounds?? I know that as you lose weight, you require less calories per day. So do we have to manually adjust this then? Thanks Anna :huh:

EVERY calorie counts!!!" "A health tip that I use when I count calories is include a 200…
