Gaining Weight - Not sure why
I recently joined MFP because I reached a plateau. It really is true that you can't get rid of those last ten pounds. I lost all the baby weight from walking and eating well, as I was a very poor eater before. So when I reached my plateau, I started a vigorous exercise routine. I tried Turbo Jam and love it, so I do it…

Can I go back and enter yesterday's weight as yesterday then
Does your ticker automatically update when your account shows you've lost weight? Also, if I have a weight to enter for yesterday since I started my diet yesterday, can I go back and enter yesterday's weight then enter today's weight?

Digital Scale Suggestions???
I recently purchased a $7.00 Taylor Mechanical Scale at Target. It has been doing ok, but I've noticed that I have to "reset" the dial all the time (it falls below the zero and I have to increase it back up). I am beginning to think it is not giving me an accurate reading because it was stating my weight being between…

Day 2 of my diet...
I am just starting out doing the Medifast program, and came across this site that has MF foods in the "plate" section. I can also download the application to my iPhone and track my progress there as well. I've looked at several of them and none seemed to be convinient for me. Anyone else on the Medifast program?

Hi I need some advise...am I losing weight too fast?
Hi everyone, I'm psyched and I'm so happy I found this app through my phone. I'm 11 days into my weight loss program. The website recommended a 1,270 calorie diet. But I barely touch 1,100 per day since I started. On Day 7, I started to do daily cardio (45 mins to 1 hour). So I've been getting surpluses of 600 to 800…

hCG Diet
I'm interested in trying the hCG Diet, but I don't know much about it. I've googled it, and I end up getting lots of pages talking about how great it is, which is great, but I would like to see some other opinions as well. Has anyone done it and it hasn't worked well? If it hasn't worked, why not? Is it hard to follow?…

Fat burning/carb burning articles.
Here are links to a couple of articles that address a few things often discussed on these boards. I'm not saying everything in here is gospel, but most of it seems pretty accurate and they also address some myths about when the body burns protein or muscle etc. In short, it's pretty encouraging if you're doing any kind of…

What I noticed
So I know that your weight fluctuates throughout the day. This isn't a post about how I freaked out over it, more me laughing over it. Saturday morning is my normal weigh day. I took my weight and was fine with it. That night we had a party and I counted the food we had as my dinner. It was just a bunch of snack type food.…
