I really, really hate Mondays...
I just posted a blog post about this, but apparently that was enough ranting for me... I really, really hate Mondays. Somehow, my body decided it wanted to throw on about two pounds a day over the weekend. What the heck!? Why? WHY! This was the week I was going to cross the "no longer obese" BMI line. Grrrrrrr. And I hurt…

Is it seriously possible....
To gain 5 lbs in a day?!?! I weighed myself on Friday, scale said 159, even 158 at the end of the day! I have been good for weeks on end as far as eating and exercise go. Yesterday was my "cheat day" so to speak. I'm no good at avoiding bad food when it's around, so I just don't have it around. Yesterday we were…

Diet Coke ADDICT.
I know I'll get several fingers wagged at me for this but-- I am completely addicted to Diet Coke and have been for a few years. I know how bad it is for me and even think it has a lot to do with my weight issues. Two years ago I gave it up for 6 months and lost all of that puffy weight I had been carrying around. Later on…

1200 cal diet
Myfitnesspal says I can eat a little over 2000 cal per day. I have submitted my requests early for my food logging and sometimes I get the message that I need at least 1200 cal a day. This was interesting to me. I read a thread from 2008 that mentions that you must eat 1200 cal a day otherwise your body goes into…

Need some serious butt kicking
I have been so bad with eating the last few days. The bad thing is that I've been good for almost a year and I know better. I have been eating a lot of junk and feel like I'm losing control. I'll even tell myself I shouldn't be eating a certain food and I go ahead and eat it anyway. I have been keeping up ok with…

bread
I've heard so many times that bread is not good for a diet. Even whole wheat bread and crackers. Is this true? Should I stay away from it? Can I eat it every once and a while? Also is there such thing as eating too many carbs, good carbs that is, as long as I eat enough protein and fat and stay at my cal intake? Also, is…

If you go over your calories one day by say, 300 calories, is it helpful to your progress to have 300 extra calories left over the next day to make up for it? Or should you treat each day completely separate?

Body Fat %
How do you determine you body fat percentage? I know they have those different tools you can use, like the one where you pinch your body fat. But I just want something easy that I can use as an estimate of body fat percentage.

The Invisalign Diet
I recently (3 days ago) got the Invisalign braces. The way it works is that I can only drink water with the braces on my teeth and when I eat and drink, I have to take them off. It is the oddest feeling as I walked by a candy dish and grabbed a peppermint and realized, "hey, I can't eat this right now" or I would have to…
