Hydroxycut, anyone?
So, I'm having a hard time dropping the last few pounds. And I mean, a REALLY hard time. I've tried harder intensity workouts, more food, less food, more cardio and nothing seems to be cutting the fat. I've seen some people suggest thermogenics to cut the last few pounds. Even Jillian Michaels now pushes her own brand of…

Losing Weight... but not inches
Okay, so I've been on MFP about a month, and I've lost about 17 pounds. Great, right? Except what I HAVEN"T been losing is inches... I've lost 1 inch on my neck, only 0.3 inches on my waist, and 2.1 inches on my hips. Is that normal? Do you have any tips on losing inches, not just weight? I love seeing the number on the…

Tracking Net Calories
I am new to MFP, and I don't know if I am just slow, but I am not understanding the concept of tracking net calories. Ok, I thought that you lower your calorie intake, and then the more calories you burn, you lose weight faster. So, when I track my food and exercise, if I exercise more that day, I have more calories…

Replenishing exercise calories
So since joining MFP I've been given the daily intake of 1200 calories per day. It was rough to cut down portions and find snacks and foods that allowed me to stay close to this goal, but now I've gotten very comfortable with it. The problem is, most of my exercise is running and over the past month the distance has…

some encouragement needed because I'm lagging behind...
My life has just gotten so busy and I have completely disregarded healthy eating and working out. I had to go to conferences (where healthy food was unavailable) and when I'm stressed it's just easier to eat crappy food like pizza than something healthy.
