Meal Plans
I am a very basic food eater - chicken; steak; ground beef; oatmeal; salads; subway... I am at a plateau - keep losing and gaining the same lb or 2 over the last 3 weeks. I feel my excercising is good. But I have tendencies to fall off track w/my food cause I don't have a plan to go by. Does anyone have a really basic food…

No sugar/carbs after 8?
My trainer told me today to easily drop about 5 pounds of fat I should quit eating any sugar or carbs after 8, even things like greek yogurt or fat-free frozen yogurt. But what if I only eat a small serving of these things occasionally, and only if I have the calories to do it? But does it really matter WHEN you eat? I…

Do you stop logging on a cheat day?
Do you find it easier to deny what you are doing because of the negative effect it is going to have on the appearance of your week so you just leave it empty? We should be able to think 'Its just a bad/cheat day and I can turn it around but it is so hard to do this when the only picture we see is the daily one! That is why…

A calorie is a calorie, is a calorie, is a calorie LoL
Am I the only one on here that just counts calories as just that, a calorie? I don't even pay attention to the daily fat , carbs, or protein they allot me on here. I think I'm just not up to keeping up with all that. So far I am seeing weightloss slow and steady and I am happy with that. I am sure that if I actually paid…

Reducing goal to continue weight loss?
Does this make sense to anyone, or should I just take a concrete pill and harden up, and increase my goal? When I first joined MFP I set my goal to 2lb/week, like most people seem to do. It put me on a 1200 cal/day target that I just struggled to keep up with. I could do it, but it was no fun. I also at the time didn't…

Is it alright to do this?
After my morning excercises and activities, I want to just keep going. I've already been told I'm overdoing it, but I think this newfound energy makes me feel like I HAVE to be doing something else. Is it alright to veg in the early afternoons, or I should I be finding something productive to do with the rest of this…

Listening to my body
Good morning! I once had a wise nutritionist tell me "listen to your body" for food consumption, reiterating that our bodies are very wise in what it needs. Okay, I know the program: Eat every few hours, 300-400 calories, natural, good stuff. Well, I had fallen into the 'skip breakfast, handful of Hershey Kisses for lunch,…

I need to eat more but I am scared!
For the past three months I have been dieting really hard. I have lost 30 lbs. But I can't say I have exactly done it the right way...I exercise three to four times a week and eat nothing but low fat low calorie foods. I usually stay between 800-1000 calories...it is too low. But psychologically I feel that if I eat more I…

I need something with a little more pep and flavor to change things up during the day. What do you drink when you are bored with water?

This CAN'T be right...
I'm concerned at what I found on the scale 10 minutes ago. My intense workout started two days ago, though I had been doing some milder workouts the day or two before that. And this is only my third day using MFP. And I have lost 3.5 pounds? I'm not complaining that I'm losing weight, but that seems like too much, WAY too…

Travelling
I almost always feel like I eat horribly when I travel. I just got back from a 4 day long camping trip. I packed food and I did eat quite a bit of it.....in addition to all the other crap I ate. I feel like home is my "safe zone". We eat out very rarely, and my house just doesn't have temptation. When we travel I feel like…

This is not a quick fix so...........
Why only have the option to see the days calories and not the weeks! Sorry if you are bored of my campaign but I want to try and reach out to everyone! Dieting is not a quick fix. So why not have the option to see a bigger picture and not just the day? If That is why I am begging the MFP people to give us the option to see…

HCG Diet, fact or fad???
Anyone heard of the HCG Diet, it is a hormone that is either injected ot sublingual. While on the HCG hormone, you only consume 500 calories, and the HCG causes you to lose "abnormal" fat, and you never feel hungry. Soooo, any takers???

Starvation Mode..blah blah blah lol
Hey, I keep getting told if I don't eat all my recommended servings/day, my body is going to go into "starvation mode" and hold on to the fat. I don't buy it..maybe insights from others would help me understand why it's repeated to me over and over by my WL coaches. If I am eating my foods through the day, stop eating when…
