5 Pounds A Month March 2010 Challenge
This is the page for our March challenge! I weighed in this morning and the scale said 181. I am pretty sure this is water weight since I worked out pretty hard this weekend and actually ate pretty well also. I am setting my goal for the month at 170. I know that is more than the 5 pounds but it will be more like 7 pounds…

How to reduce sugar statistics OR improve accuracy!
One simple way is to search carefully through the food and drink database and use items where people have not included a figure for sugar, although it you look at other similar items, there usually IS a sugar figure. I'm only HALF joking. I've been having a battle to cut down on sugar intake, as it's always been over the…

MFP is inspiring more than I thought it would
So, I joined just over a week ago, and boy is this place addictive!! I have been logging everything in like crazy, I am trying to be truthful but not "obsessed".

Do you eat all your exercise calories?
Hi all - I've been tracking for about 6 weeks now and have lost only 2 pounds, and I'm wondering if it's because my calorie intake is too high. My daily calorie goal is 1200, and I exercise 6 days a week and get about 260 exercise calories each time. I have been eating all of them, for about 1,460 calories a day. I am 5'3"…

I have mine set on fiber, calcium, protein, carbs and fat. I just found out you can track sodium but I am out of space. I also realized that I can add 2 more sections to meals so I aded "recipe builder" and "vitamins" to remind me to take them as well as keep track of the calories in them.

Seriously thinking of giving up
I eat 1500 calories a day and I'm very strict during the week. I tend to go over a little on the weekends with my boyfriend. I've told him I can cheat a little, and he has interpreted that as I can cheat for 6 meals straight. This week I was really bad. I figured that between the two days I ate 6500. Now here's my thing.…

how bad is eating late?
Should you still refrain from eating if you have calories left for the day? I just got back from the gym and had about 100 of my original 1200 cal left and burned 250 at the gym. How bad would it be if I ate some tuna and crackers?

how hard is it to lose pregnancy weight?
Ok this is an extremely premature post since I don't even plan on getting pg for another 2-3 YEARS but I think this question is contributing to my fear of success. I figure, if I'm going to gain a ton of weight having kids, what's the point of losing any now? (faulty logic I know) So...my question is, how much do women…

How do you reward yourself?
How do you reward yourself after a good workout or once you have accomplised one of your goals. I usually take a nice hot bath with sea salt. It's soo calming. I need more ideas since I'm planning on making this a lifelong journey and I want to keep motivated. Thanks
