Not sure where to put this, question about skin boucning bac
For those who have lost a significant amount of weight, how did your skin react? Did you have extra skin that remained loose and hanging, or did your skin retract and bounce back nicely? How much weight did you lose? I'm concerned only with my stomach, which is already a sight due to having twins just over two years ago.…

bodybugg? Does it work?
Hi All, I just recently purchased BodyBugg as a means to try and get a baseline on what my massive body burns in calories each day. It sounds like it should work. So I have been using and today I had it on monitoring from 9:00 AM through 10:00 PM. It says I have burned 3444 calories. Since I only ate 1800 calories today I…

Be Honest! How many big losers lost lots w/o exercise?
I'm guessing that the number is going to be very low, and don't get me wrong, I'm a total exercise-advocate for health, strength, endurance, and confidence reasons BUT: I'm having a very hard time this week getting myself to do anything. And when I say anything I mean, ANYTHING---I don't feel like talking to anyone,…

non-protein foods
Since I work tonight, I've already logged in the food I will be eating for dinner and a snack. I have almost 400 calories left for the day on a total of 1200, but am -6 on protein. I've eaten 4 fruits already and 2 veggies. What are some good, nutritious foods that do not have protein or very little?

web-MD BMI-plus calculator
I wanted this useful tool with everyone. We've all heard that the BMI itself isn't an accurate measure of people's health status. The Web-MD calculator takes into account your waist size in addition and gives you a waist-to-height ratio to help determine your body shape. Mine is 0.77. They consider less than 0.5 to be a…

Different scales
Someone please explain this to me. The scale I use is digital and I use an 8 lb handweight to make sure it's calibrated. over the weekend, I weighed on my freinds scale. My freind uses a 10 lb handweight and the scale matches that. The last couple days at my friends house, the scale showed that I had lost 3 lbs from the…

2 lb gain this week-and the world hasn't collapsed around me
Yep, 2 lb wt gain. Should I feel like a failure? That "this is all for nothing" and I should give up? Ummmm, NO! This, for me, is more about consistency and moderation. I looked over my 30 day food/exercise diary...and it is just that- consistent. I have not had 1 day over 2000 cal intake(total, not NET cals, not my "set"…

Starvation mode...
Hi everyone, I have a question for you all. I heard and experienced that on starvation mode you don't lose any weight, but could you even gain weight? I tell you what happen.

When will the drug like cravings stop?
I've put myself on 1200 calories a day. I've been successful with that for almost a week!!! WOOT (that is HUGE for me). I also walked 3 miles today, jogging maybe 1/3 of a mile of that distance. I drink tons of water, but that isn't new for me. I never have liked pop and only drink hot coffee in the morning. Despite a…

How to get back on the wagon?
So I've fallen off the wagon again. From October-December 25th, I lost about 24 lbs, and then stopped. Now I'm back in school and eat at the dining courts because I have no other option. I've gained some weight back, but I can't seem to drive myself to go to the gym. How can I get myself back on the wagon? :/

clarify confusion please
So I understand in order to lose weight it's basically calories in verse calories out. You have to burn more calories than you take in. What I don't get is when you add the exercise calories. For example: I am allowed 1200 cals a day. I stay within my cals. On occasion I do go over. I usually burn about 600-700 cals from…

a few questions
I just started using mfp and can not believe (really can't believe!!!!) how easily my calories can get out of control - that one tbs of oil that I didn't really count and those few extra bites of my kids' left overs. UGH! Anyway, here's my question. I want to be able to see what other people are eating. Can I do that here?…

Once a month, being a girl sucks!
I had a terrible week! I was struggling with really severe cravings, had several very stressful things come up in my personal life, and it was TOM. I caved. If you read my food diary this week, you will see things I am ashamed of. I came very close to not logging several days this week, because I didn't want to admit how…

Ok so i just finished my first week of MFP and power 90. My target calories per day (before any exercise) is in the 1500-1600 range. I've never taken any supplements when I'm on a fitness regimen (other than a scoop of soy protein here or there), but I've also never cut calories while doing so. I cook almost 100% of my…

Yesterday (Friday) I planned ahead for some food to eat after I came home and tracked that on my Fridays calories. I came home at 1 am and ate what I had planned but I…
