What do You do with a Crazy Schedule?
So I just finished a 10 hour shift that was scheduled as an 8. Have to be back at work in 5 and a half hours for a meeting. Then back 4 hours after that for an 11 hour shift. I work in fast food, so when a shift goes into overtime and I get hungry, guess what's there? And its only due to some diary manipulation that it…

Years long plateau...
I'm hoping someone can help me with this major frustration. My history- I was significantly overweight throughout my entire childhood and decided around the age of 14 to start watching what I ate.

UGHHH I just finished eating out of anger!!!!!!
My 16yr old daughter infuriated me SO much that I came home and raved the refrigerator. Luckily all I ate was fruit (canteloupe, watermelon, and a necterine). I feel fat now :o ( I wanted something sweet but for my sake, I don't buy anything sweet, so I had to settle for the fruit, which was satisfying. I wanted to…

Done with Diet Books
My hubby and I are cleaning the house out for a yard sale. I came across a box of diet books, Dr. Phil, Dr. Atkins, Suzanne Sommers, South Beach, etc, etc. I've learned a bit from all of them but none of them were for me. They are going in the yard sale because MFP and my MFP buddies are all I really need. Maybe they will…

Biggest Loser vs. MFP
I just rented a Biggest Loser book from the library, and it says that my calorie goat should be about 1,050, and to gradually move down as I start losing weight, because I will be in better shape and therefore burn fewer calories; whereas MFP says that I should eat 1200, and no less. I have stopped losing weight doing the…

Upset slightly discouraged
SO! I've been using this site since I moved to Nashville (since May). I've lost six pounds since being here and I'm utterly happy about that! However, I don't know if my scale is messed up or not (my mom says it is because she knows her weight and it shoots her up ten pounds) Either way, I got on it the other night and…

Commandment or myth?
I quite liked this post on ninemsn: Read on for the truth about 10 common diet commandments. Thou shalt not... eat carbs after 5pm Or 8pm or 3pm or noon, depending who you believe. The 'no carbs at night' rule is a relatively recent decree and, says Glenn, one of the most nonsensical. While our body's processes run in…

I have been religiously logging everything that passes my lips in my food diary. The week before last, I lost just over 4lbs and was thrilled (I'm on diet chef).
