I am new and I have a questions about....
I read the information about calories burned, but I am a little slow in this area. If I eat within my calorie range and when I look at my progress and my net calories are near or below my range am I losing weight? I have only been on MFP for a short time and find it very helpful. I lost 2 lbs. my first week. So if MFP says…

Italian Vacation!!
So Thursday morning I am departing to ITALY. I am super excited (my first trip to Europe) I am staying in 4 star resorts, but was disapointed to see that one of them (where I spend 5 nights!) doesn't have a gym. Now, I am a runner so I do not lift weights, or do anything except, well, running (and an occasional swim). I…

Screw The Scale
Do you use a scale on a regular basis? If you do STOP right now. In fact, consider throwing it out. Whether you weigh 5 pounds more or less, who really cares? I stopped using my scale some time ago. Frankly, I really don’t care whether I weigh 175 or 190 lbs. What I do care about is how that weight looks on me. So, if I am…

Starting over...
OK, so I've decided to start all over again! It was only today (I woke up with a hangover and dehydrated) that I thought about my milk consumption. I drank 2 pints this morning and when I entered it into my diary, it came to over 500 cals! It made me think about how many cups of tea or coffee I drink in work and I never…

Motivation
I've done so well for the last two weeks and then lately I feel like i've slacked! HELP! I'm getting married in June 2011 and I'd LOVE to be under 200lbs by then, that means I have 14months to lose about 50lbs. I wish I could see the weight loss, faster. That'd keep me motivated.

My Smile for the Day :)
Before my 1st break, my supervisor came to me... Supervisor: "Simona, do you want some chips?" Me: "Yes, I'd love some, but I'm not going to have any." Supervisor walks away looking perplexed. They were my absolute FAVORITE flavor too...Sour Cream & Bacon!

I didn't see a thread started, so here we go... Looking for a GREAT week this week... The general concensus is that WE ARE SICK OF WINTER!!! Let's hang in there...

Wanted: Friends on MFP
Hey all! Ok, I lost at total of 55 pounds in 2008, and maintained that weight for all of 2009. Then I moved three hours away to go to a new university. I felt lonely and home sick, I guess to fill the void of everything I left behind, I turned to food like I used to do before I lost the 55 pounds. I have gained back about…

What gives you your motivation?
As bad as I want to look good and lose weight, I still don't have the self control to do so. I still go eat the horrible foods I've always eaten with the mentality that "I'll make a good choice the next meal." Obviously it isn't working for me since the scale continues to go up. I started myfitnesspal in September at my…

Is This Even Possible?
I have been trying to get past around 9.13 stone for a while now and it just doesn't seem to want to budge. Admittedly I have had one or two off weeks- One week I couldn't get to the gym and another week I just went off the rails basically, but not to a huge amount! I weighed in on Friday morning (the friday just gone) and…

Carbs, protein, calcium, and fiber
So, I read that for optimum weight loss, you should eat 50-100g of carbs a day; My diary has the carbs set to 165g of carbs a day (1200 calories) and I go over that frequently, up to 200g some days. I don't eat a lot of bread or pasta but even some veggies and other things have carbs. How the heck am I supposed to avoid…

Lean Cuisine
Everyday I pack my lunch for work and it usually consists of turkey brat with peppers and onions which puts my lunch at 8 grams of fat and very little carbs and right around 250 calories with added food. At the grocery tonight I saw a lean cuisine that has 200 calories, 4 grams of fat but 26 carbs. Which is better? The…

Sometimes it feels like...
I'm in prison by counting my calories. Don't get me wrong, I love this site, and it works. I've lost 50 pounds (and gained a couple back) and I am still working toward my goal. I've been at this for two years now, and it's the only method that I have stuck with and has worked, and have NOT gained any substantial amount…

How do you do it?
Hi All I have only been calorie counting properly (with the help of this site) for a few days, though I was counting prior to this. How do you manage to stay under or reach your calories everyday? This site is fantastic in that it telols me I am eating too much, but how do you stop? Even on the days I think I have been…
