What's the point?
So I have been at this for a while and found out that I need to eat all of my exercise calories to be able to lose my pound a week. So what's the point of exercise? Isn't the whole point to have the deficit to lose more weight? I'm slightly annoyed. Any input would be great.

Over my protein goal, should I worry??
I have only been a member for a week now and have been under my calorie goal each day so far. I have kept everything in the green, except for two days I saw negatives for my protein. Not by large numbers, but I'm not sure how bad getting too much protein is, or if it's something I should worry about enough to change it in…

Why does stress affect us so much?
I have been having a horrible time at work lately... I come home almost everyday, crying or so stressed that I could burst into tears. Because of it, I either find myself eating something that I shouldn't, or gaining weight when I'm being good and exercising correctly. It is making me more stressed of course, which just…

Fear
Here I am, 3 months later and 22lbs lighter. I've been here before. I've accomplished this in the past. I've actually gotten as low as 219 (currently 238). It seems that whenever I get 'too comfortable', the weight sneaks back on. After this past weight gain (again) I was smart and saved all my smaller clothing because I…

SODIUM!!!!! Lets chat
Okay so I just wrote how pissed off I am because I am not loosing. Some told me its my sodium (usually about 3500 mg a day). Why is it that a female at 150 and a male at 280 have the same sodium intake goal (2500) even though the calorie intake could be over 1,000 difference. Is that truly the Saboteur? Give me some…

Calorie question
So today I decided to play a video game (dance dance revolution, if you must know) that supposedly tracked my calories burned while playing. If you don't know what it is, you shuffle your feet and jump around on a mat, and this version includes moving your arms a lot too. Anyway, after 30 minutes of that, it said I had…

I need mini-goals & non-food non-money-required rewards
When I look at how far I have yet to go, I find it discouraging, so taking Ladyofivy as my example, I think I should set up some mini-goals, but I'm not sure what they should be. Also, I need to think of what I could "reward myself" with that wouldn't be eating bad (and therefore defeating the purpose) but also that…

I'm choosing "healthy for life" over "skinny for now"
A few weeks ago some of my family members decided to start a "Biggest Winner" contest. Everyone puts in $20 and at the end of 6 weeks, whoever has lost the most weight wins the pot. I decided to join the contest. However, just about that same time, I made the decision: stop trying to lose weight and start learning to be…

depression/mental health
It is 1:25 and I am already 100 cals over. I (obviously) haven't been trying. All I have been doing that is positive is journaling what I eat.

Can anyone offer a little insight?
Long story as short as possible: I'm a MFP drop-out who has returned. First time around, I did a few minutes of exercise each day and usually burned just around 100-200 calories. I also watched my portion sizes, but I wasn't too bothered if I went over calorie goals. In my defense, I never went over by 1,000 calories or…

Making the right choices consistently is hard on the weekend
Here's an except from a blog post a made a month or so ago. It resonated with a lot of people, so I figured it'd be worth sharing here. *** So the short of it is you need to condition yourself to bypass short-term gratification for the benefit of long-term gratification. Right? It's the choices you make in "the heat of the…

Pot Roast Quantity
Since I don't carry a scale with me or whatever, can anyone tell me what this would count as? I went to my Mom's for dinner yesterday (to cheer me up after bad news at the dentist) and I had roast beef. I had 3 pieces that were 2 inches x 3 inches by 1/4 inch thick. I have no idea how many ounces that would be nor how to…
