Haven't lost in SOOO LONG.
I don't think I've lost any weight since the beginning of this year. :( That being said I don't have that much to lose, 5-7 lbs. I know those last few lbs don't come off easily. That being said, I have been diligent and tried everything- upping my calories, decreasing my calories, changing my exercise routine, only to not…

A bad six days

Why is it always so hard to get back on the saddle? Since last tuesday,…

Last Minute 10 Pound Weight Loss
Here in a month my Grandfather will be flighing in from Kansas. As happy as I am to see him I want him to see I am healthy and losing weight.

Anyone else have this problem?
I feel bad about this and could never tell my fiance because it would hurt his feelings. But as I have lost weight, he has unfortunately gained weight. I think he is at his heaviest right now. I've tried to get him to work out with me but he doesn't want to. I cook fairly healthy but it's his lunch and snacks that do him…

Overate and lost weight?
I don't know if anyone else has experienced this same phenomenon, but I went on an eating binge this last week (4 days straight of real crappy eating, 4000 + calories/day) and did absolutely no working out or moving of any kind really, and somehow I lost 4 pounds since my weigh in last Monday morning. This has never…

Starving all day after morning workout
Hello everyone, my name is Ada and I'm new to the site. So far I love all the info and cool tracking. I recently started working out in the early morning. Ever since, I've been feeling hungry all day. My meals only hold me over for about an hour and a half. So I'm finding it hard to stay within my calories. I've managed…

Re-evaluating goals - If all is good, stay the same?
Not sure if my topic title really explains what I'm getting at. Today is the 4th week I have been on MFP. I have lost 18 pounds. I have my goal set to lose 2 pounds a week. I haven't been on any weight loss plan for almost 10 years. But when I did weight loss plans before, I always lose well if I stick to it and the first…

Whats the most effective diet you've been on?
Firstly please let me preface this by saying that I know there are no real quick fixes and that I should be looking to lose 1-2lbs a week through a combination of healthy eating and exercise. I am also aware that I need to view my weight loss as a lifestyle change rather than 'diet'. That said: I am 29 yrs old, 5"5, and…

What I finally figured out
I was pudgy most of my life. I was about 170 pounds when I was 10. Had a few puberty induced trim years and then began to balloon again in my 20's. I was un-huge enough to be in happy denial until a couple years ago when I quit smoking. Then it got wierd, I got up to 270 pounds (I'm 5'8" tall). I couldn't sleep, I never…

Leveling out
I began my fitness journey on January 4th, 2010, and my first month was sweet. I dropped 9 lbs. Since then I've only dropped 8 more and its been almost double the time. I update my goal every so often to bring my calories to where they should be, but it seems I'm starting to plateau. I'm still losing, but not as fast as I…

Need advice girls
Ok I started MFP at 198 and I am 5'4'. I have been getting frusterated because my weight loss has slowed a lot. So my question is do you guys think this is expected when I am only at 172.

Increasing calories question

Unknown calorie amounts??? HELP!
Hi friends!! Okay, so today, I kind of fell off my little weight-loss wagon :embarassed: (Although I rationalize that it's not as bad as it might have been before because I knew I'd have to be accountable to my food diary!) Anyway, I had a cookie that was from a store bakery that is nowhere in the system (it's a store…

18 in 4
Has anyone ever heard of or tried this diet? I'm not stupid enough to think that it's possible, healthy or safe to lose that amount of weight in 4 days, but I've been plateaued for almost a month and thought it could be a way to kick start things.

MFP Calories v. BMR
I want to lose a pound a week. I understood you had to cut 3500 calories over time to lose 1 pound. MFP says my BMR is 1508 and I should eat 1380 a day to lose one pound a week. I've been sticking to the plan for three weeks. I've lost 1 pound. How can I lose a pound a week by cutting out 128 calories a day? The strange…
