Is losing weight hard?
I think "some" people who are either athletic , thin or have reach their weight loss goal.. isn't sympathetic to people working on losing weight. Everyone must work at their own pace. Yes we need a push or 5.. There is no way, I can start off my workout by trying to run 5 miles.. I'm lying to myself.. or even walk 5…

How many pounds lost means a smaller dress size?
Is it possible to project what size I will be in 12 weeks time, if I lose 1 - 2 lbs a week? I'd like to buy something in a smaller size to use as motivation - but would it just be a waste of money? Any advice welcome. Thank you:smile:

Help! Should I up my calorie intake?
I'm usually right around the 1200 mark, and I drink lots of water. However, throughout my day I am finding myself miserable, exhausted/dizzy, etc. I AM losing weight however, though I'm not sure how accurate that is considering I've been weighing myself a lot, though I'm restraining my next check-ins to be a week apart. I…

I am afraid to enter actual weight...
Does anyone else have this problem? I actually ROUND-UP my weight when I log it into MFP because I am afraid of sliding back up... and then I'd have to enter the new higher weight.... and everyone would say "look at her, she's slacking" when really its just my time of month/bad week at work/family in town, etc. Last I…

Not Eating At Night
So we all know that you aren't supposed to eat at night or shortly before bed. But I'm not sure *exactly* the reason for this. So my questions may be silly if I am misunderstanding the concept. Sometimes, at night, if my stomach hurts, I'll take a Tums while I'm lying in bed. Or Advil, etc. if I have a headache. And I…

Sugar Count & Exercise Question
So here is my question? If you exercise and get more calories that you allow you to consume additional food (or require you to consume more food if you had a great extensive workout), how does this relate to the other nutritional values. I am mainly concerned about sugar but am curious about the other nutritional values as…

You CAN do this
I will admit, I get frustrated when I see posts about over indulging one day, or what to eat at a restaurant. Don't sweat the small stuff!! And in the scheme of a lifestyle change, 1 meal, heck 1 day, is a small thing!!! Keep an eye on the big picture and you will be just fine. Case in point. Tuesday just before lunch my…
