My first day
Every day I typically eat the same things for breakfast and lunch, with variations occasionally. I have never had a problem with my cereal in the morning and lean cuisine at lunch, but today since I have started this weight loss journey all I have done is think about food and be so hungry! I know that this is a mental…

MUSTARD-The world's greatest condiment!!!
Before reaching for the BBQ sauce or Ketchup this summer, see if it is something that would taste good with Mustard! Mustard is not only full of flavor, but it's CALORIE FREE!!! So indulge, eat up, and enjoy!

How long does it usually take to start seeing results?
I'm currently 5'5 and about 150lbs, so I'm only slightly overweight, and my goal weight is 125. I've cut my calories to 1300 per day (as instructed by mfp) and i've been getting 30+ minutes of exercise daily. I'm not going to weigh myself yet, because I don't want to be discouraged if I haven't lost anything ( it's been…

Getting it off my Chest and Apology.......................
I would like to say that I really wish people would not post articles defaming or calling the Low Carb Lifestyle any longer as I never like to get into the heated debates. I really think some members here get off by seeing me get offended by it and that is the reason some of these articles are posted. If I am taking this…

Sometimes I hate certain people......
I went to my doctor on Wed......let me just specify this is my OBGYN....I'm just going for a yearly.

What if you exercise at night?
I know you're supposed to eat your exercise calories, but what if you exercise at night time? Should you still eat the exercise calories? For example, I just took a walk and MFP is telling me I can eat 500 more calories. It's almost 11PM where I live, so what should I do with those calories since I'm not supposed to be…

Uneven weight loss
I have been logging in to MFP for around a month now and exercising 4 times a week and have noticed that I have lost most of my weight from the right side of my body. It is noticeable and I am wondering where I am going wrong, most of my exercise classes work out both sides of my body so it seems strange. I have been doing…

Not sure if this is BS?
This is an e-mail a friend of mine got and forwarded to me, he receives a Dr Oz newsletter and this was part of it.....anyway I'm not sure if I believe this info, I've always thought it was best to combine some protein with fruit, also the cold water thing never heard of that before. Any way thought I would throw it out…

Reality & Fast Food
Ok guys I need your help. There are times in life when you have to grab some fast food. Today is going to be one of those days. I was thinking I would do a cheeseburger happy meal but the total of that is 530 with a diet coke. That is a lot of my calories for lunch. I can't stand fast food salads so what do some of you do…

OK so I have already lost a total of 131 lbs and am 9 lbs from my goal weight. I currently have my loss per week set up for 1 lb per week, but I have been thinking that maybe I should change it to .5 lbs per week to get my body ready for maintenance mode??? Anyone have any thoughts on this?

For those who have had a Gastric Bypass operation....was it
I am just curious on the long term success rate for people who have had gastric bypass. I have had it a little over 5 years now. I've lost over 200lbs. I can eat like a normal person. I've met patients who could only eat a tiny portion of food and they sound surprised at how I can eat anything I want. Even after the…

It's a fad diet if...
I was looking for something unrelated to this at work today and found this great list of what not to look for in a 'diet' Stay away from diets that: * Promise a quick fix * Recommend magical fat-burning effects of foods (eg grapefruit), foods do not burn fat! * Promote the avoidance or severe limitation of a whole food…

Calorie Shifting?
I noticed in one of the posts on here that people mentioned cycling their calories, or calorie shifting. I've done some online research but I find so many different variations of it, I'm not sure what to think about it yet. I like the idea of simply changing up the amount of calories per day, but I'm not sure about…

Well...
I have never really considered myself to be an over-eater. I have always been happy with relatively small portions, but I like to snack. Sadly, I like to snack on crappy foods. I have been very good for the past 2 months and am making excellent progress. However... I decided to conduct a little experiment and bought myself…

My stomach
I wish there was an easier way to get rid of belly fat or whatever is wrong with my stomach. It's not fatty but it looks bloated ALL the time. I weigh 122 and I am 6'6 so I am lean. My arms and legs are getting toned but my stomach just looks full of water! Anything I can do?! This is mostly me just venting..

Body Fat %- Realistic goal?
I went up to the University this week and had some testing done. RMR and Body Composition (Bod Pod- which was totally cool btw). I was pretty suprised and dissapointed to find I had 31.2% body fat!

Daily Exercise Log/ Time vs. Calories
Hi! I'm still kind of a newbie here. I have a question for you experts. I logged my exercise for today (60/60 goal minutes), but for "calories burned" for today, I got 477 calories burned vs. goal of 684 calories burned. I did Body Pump class, which is strength training, but really gets your heart rate up. Should I just…

So, all morning, I've been getting really dizzy. Now, when I get up and walk around, I'm starting to see black spots. I have felt really weak for the past few days (since it started hitting the upper 90s in temp where I live), and I've always seen black spots when I first get up in the morning, but it's different this…

Truth or False: A Bigger person should be able to lose more?
I believe that this statement that a co-worker said is false. A healthy weight loss is 1 to 2 pounds a week. I believe that more people believe that since we see people on the biggest loser losing over 10+ lbs a week that it possible for anyone that big to lose weight faster. It's possible but for someone who works…
