Longest you've been stuck
I am stuck at 149 now for about 2.5 weeks. I have been doing the same stuff I was doing. I know I need to change something up and I know to either add or subtract a few calories just to change it up. But my question to all of you is what's the longest you have been stuck and tried changing things up and you were still…

Any other new mom's out there?
I'm 12 weeks postpartum and after being plateaued on my weight loss for a full month, I'm giving in to dieting. Since I'm not nursing anymore, I'm not limited by anything. I'm only ten pounds over what I was before pregnancy, but I'd love to lose forty total. At this point, my workouts will be limited to walking the dog…

Can anyone answer this for me?
Alright so I'm just starting on my weight loss journey, and i'v heard that the best way to lose weight is to burn more calories than I eat. Well, if im eating 1300-1400calories a day, wouldnt I have to run like 5hours to burn that off? I just dont understand how i'm supposed to burn off all my calories. Just by eating a…

How fast is too fast on weight loss?
I'm love the number as I go down but how fast is too fast.? Really? I have lost over 10 lbs in 2 weeks or more. I'm trying to do 1200 calories but the truth is that I alway hit above it. I have been working out but had to take a break because of some of the pain I was getting. I'm averaging about half a pound a day of…

Fitbit?
Does anyone have a fitbit or know somebody that has one? It looks really cool, but since it's only $100 I guess I am a bit skeptical. Other products like this are around $300! (fitbit.com)

i hate plateaus
For the last 2-3 weeks I have been hovering around the 10.5stone mark but just can't seem to break under it! Unfortunately my exercise regime is limited because I don't have access to a gym (poor!) and i don't have a lot of time to exercise because i'm studying fulltime and am about to hit my end of year exams. Any advice…

Weight Watchers - How many calories equal a point?
I did WW in the past and couldn't stick with it. I like MFP much better so far. Anyway, what I was wondering is, how many calories=a weight watchers point? Just curious if my calorie goal is similar to what my WW daily point goal was. Thanks!

Does anyone else feel like this?
I feel enormous. Huge - worse than I ever did before I decided to do something about my weight because before I was in denial about it and now its all I can think about. I literally weigh and measure myself everytime I'm in the bathroom and check MFP every 5 minutes. I realise that its good that I'm really getting into my…

Protein diet
Im wondering if anyone has tried a protein diet and successfully transitioned to a normal (healthy) eating plan? My husband went to his doctor a week ago and asked for help losing some weight. He needs to drop right around 25lbs according to the chart for his height/weight/age. His plan is basically eating 5-6 times a day,…

Please just remind me
So today I did a weigh in after 2 weeks from the most recent and I was down 3 pounds. I know that 3 is better than none but I can't help but feel a little disappointed. I think after watching Biggest Loser and seeing 10 pounds a week it frustrates me when I don't have those quick results. Also keeping in mind I do know in…

Losing weight after a c-section.
I had a c-section on May 3rd, and am unsure about what exercises are okay to do right now. I was given a sheet of paper with restrictions on it from my doctor, and I intend to follow them fully. (I'm not a celebrity mom. lol. I'm not looking to start a full - on workout.) I have just been feeling good for the past week,…

Full???
I always thought the more I burned, the more food I would need. Sometimes I feel like the more I workout, the less hungry I am, or maybe I just don't have the energy TO eat. Some days when I workout, I have to force myself to eat 1200 much less 1/2 my exercise calories (other days it comes very easy :smile: ) Does this…

Being realistic about starvation level.
I've been on this site for over 7 months now and have truly been enjoying my new lifestyle and the weight loss that comes with it. I feel as if I have a good understanding of weight loss, health, and nutrition. I know that I'm making much smarter choices when it comes to food than I ever have before. But something keeps…

Help!!! Stuck in a moment!
Hi Everyone! Okay, so I've been at this for a couple of months; I've lost a "whopping" 6 lbs, which is fine... I'd rather lose 6 than gain 6, of course. But, my issue is that I've been stuck at the EXACT SAME WEIGHT for days and days now. I really feel like it's too early in the game to have hit a plateau. (I've got about…

Upset Stomach
I joined MFP about 2 weeks ago and have tried to eat healthier (i.e. not as fatty & oily) foods since I started on here, but last night I went out with the fam to a traditional steakhouse and while I definitely ate smaller portions, I still ate the same old grease as I would have a month ago. However, this time, as soon as…

counted cals, done heaps of exercise and nothing....
So, this week I've been off work. I've exercised everyday. I've watched my calories, carbs and fat. Everyday when I complete it says I'd lose 4-5 pounds in 5 weeks if everyday were like today. So imagine my dismay when I get on the scales and have put a pound ON. Checked inches and lost nothing..... why am I hungry all the…

Negative Food Items!
I can't believe this works, but I just tried it and it's awesome. While we can't edit our custom "meals" on the fly, you can add or subtract items in your food diary. I was about to make myself some dinner, which I already have saved as a "meal", when I decided I would cut back on the cheese. Since this is already included…

The Alcohol Question
I really like wine. A lot. It seemed obvious why anyone would tell you to cut out alcohol when you're trying to lose weight (all those extra calories, sugar content, etc) so knowing that, I still felt ok having a glass of wine in the evening as long as I had the calories to spend according to MFP. After a quick search I…
