Does the amount of sleep you get affect weight loss/gain?
I have an 8 month old daughter who still has trouble sleeping through the night. Therefore, I may get to sleep from about 10:30 to 4AM, but after that I am up. Some nights, I may be up 3-4 times. Needless to say, my sleep isn't the greatest. I was wondering, will this impact my ability to lose weight? Pass along any…

OK question for felllow women
Ok so I have been at this for about a 3 weeks now and have lost 4 lbs (3 since MFP). Judging by the tightness of my pants I would say it's pretty accurate that I have lost. Not to mention I probably ate over 2000 calories a day and now I am down to 1450 although I allow a cheat day. So here is my problem this morning when…

Random Theory About Plateau..warning LONG
Alright, so I've just gotten off a 6 week plateau, in which I lost NO weight. I was eating right, not completely healthy but moderately healthy, and the same as I'd been for the 4 months of weight loss prior. But all of a sudden the scale became my enemy and would not budge. I began to work out harder than ever, 1 hour/day…

So i find myself drinking lots of juice to stay hydrated,but I'm worried about the amount of sugar im consuming. Does…

do you have fruit/veggie 'portion distortion'?
it can get confusing to eat your recommended allotment of fruit (2-4) and veggies (3-5) when the label lists a serving as less or more than the recommended portion size or when there is no label. do you know your portion sizes? Asparagus....................6 spears, cooked or canned Baby carrots.................10 carrots…

I don't want to lose any more in my upper body.
How can I lose weight just in my belly and legs? I can see every bone in my chest so I really don't want to lose any more up top. However, I'm just not happy with my thighs or my belly. What can I do? Should I try to lose more weight or should I just go on maintenance and try to firm up the lower area?

Getting back on track after a binge?
How hard do you find it to get back on track after a crazy day of eating? Yesterday I went nuts, and today I feel like I want to do it again. I find it really hard to recover. I usually do, but it's never easy, and sometimes it takes me a while. One day of binging really can undo a lot of your hard work- you may not gain a…

Frustrated amd disappointed in myself...
Compared to a lot of people on this website, I don't have a lot of weight to lose. For years, I have been trying to lose 5 lbs. I discovered this website in January and focused a bit more. My goal is to lose 7 lbs. The scale started to consistently move down 122 to 118. A injured hip means I haven't run in almost two…

How strict are you in what you log?
Hi there, I was just wondering how detailed people are in the food they log. For example I've started logging gum as over a day it really seems to add up for me. Is this a sign that I've become slightly mad and obsessed or a good habit to get into? And again with exercise, does everyone just log long bouts of exercise or…

Master Cleanse....
So, I decided to give the master cleanse (aka lemonade cleanse) a try. I made it to the end of day two the first try. I'm planning on trying again with the goal of 5 days. I just don't know how people can do it really. I was missing texture, variety, flavor and on occasion, actually felt hungry rather than a craving. I'm…

Too much of a good thing?
I hope this thread doesn't sound like complaining, because I'm really just looking for some insight. This past week was not my top week. I only had a decent workout on three days, and on Saturday I did a "vertical marathon" (1,034 steps). I'm not really counting that because it only took me 10 minutes :happy: I also went…
