Scars?
Does anyone have a proven (relatively inexpensive - I can't afford to have lightening done in a physician's office) method for reducing the appearance of scars? Preferably something you've tried yourself and has worked for you. Now that my legs are looking decent, I'm wearing shorts (haven't done that for the last 10…

No weight loss!
I've been here for about 3 weeks -- I quickly lost 9 lbs right off the bat. I only weigh myself on Saturday mornings. Today when I weighed myself I saw no weight loss :frown: I kept to my calorie intake plan and exercised most days. I'm so disappointed -- does this happen to others -- you have some weeks with no progress…

MFP calorie recommendations
Okay, so, I was just playing around with the settings menu to check if everything was right. Everything was the way it's been for a while - I want to lose 2 pounds a week, I plan on exercising 6 times a week. (I haven't been exercising at all though) So, I clicked submit and it lowered my calories by 20 and my fat grams by…

Which Scale should I go by?
Ok so I've been wondering if my scale might be dying as I get "Err" quite often from it. In the last 2 weeks I've been to 2 different Dr's appts where their scale was reading less (by 5 lbs today) than my scale. So after the appt I went to see about buying a new scale but all of the ones in store read the same as mine at…

Is weighing yourself everday a bad thing?
I heard weighing yourself everyday rather than weekly is a bad thing. I find that it helps me control me but @ the same time can discourage if I don't see a change. Any one has any thoughts ?

Do you ever find it difficult....
to discuss your weightloss (either success or being discouraged) in front of friends or relatives who have more weight to lose than you? I mentioned today about not wanting to be fat for my wedding (I've lost 45 and have 20 to go) and my friend who has more to lose kind of rolled her eyes. She's normally pretty supportive…

Will it ever come?
Been on this weight loss journey for 2 years now. Lost 60 before joining MFP. Gained 10 back, now I've lost that 10, and have been trying to get 20 off to meet my under 200lb goal. Will that day ever come? I feel like I keep climbing and climbing, and don't get anywhere. What a struggle! :(

Eating while at an Amusement park
We are headed for vacation which is 3 days at an amusement park. We will be doing lots of walking and swimming. What are the best foods to bring with me, not only to keep my calories down, but keep my energy level up??? So far, I have lots of fruit (grapes, watermelon, banana's) and veggies (carrots, celery sticks). Thanks!

It can be done!
Let me just tell you guys! This is a big deal for me. In the past I would lose weight, then something would happen and distract me (like a vacation) and i'd come back and all would be lost because I had gained a few pounds from vacation so what's the point in keep trying, right? Before I left for my vacation this time I…

Amitriptyline
Hi all, I've been on amitriptyline for nearly a year for my migraines, but unfortunately these have caused most of my weight gain. I'm on as low as a dosage as I can take and was wondering if anyone else is on them and were they still able to loose weight? Thanks, Fi

y'all, please weigh in on not weighing in
I've always been driven by the number on the scales, but lately I've noticed that the female bodies I admire at the gym are actually larger than mine, but of course extremely lean. So I've been lifting heavy and aiming at 30% protein. I'm still counting calories, but I haven't been weighing. I like the results I see. Has…

water, water, and oh.... more water!
Ok, so I was NEVER a water drinker by choice before. I have become a convert and I love it now. I try and drink around 15-20 glasses a day. I just keep a 20 oz bottle of water at my desk and fill it over and over again. I also drink an 8 oz glass of water after every time I go to the restroom! Which leads me into the…

Question About Measuring
I have a question about measuring, I would say my tummy area has 3 settings: 1. Breathe out and let it all hang out 2. The poise I try to maintain throughout the day, standing up straight with tummy pulled in a little 3. Standing still and sucking right in to try and envisage what 'd look like with a flat tummy! So what do…
