Emotional eating
So I came to the realization that I am definitely an emotional eater. Over the weekend my mother was in the hospital for an unknown pain in her liver and I was terrified. What did I do to relieve the stress? I ate the fattiest popcorn I could make and I baked a bunch of cookies and ate half of them. On top of the stress…

Vitamins
Hi! Crazy Question: Can taking a multi-vitamin cause weight gain? I recently (1 month ago) started taking a multi-vitamin. I have watched my weight climb 10 pounds in 4+ weeks. I also am taking 600mg of calcium. Is it possible that the vitamin and/or calcium influenced my weight gain? Any advice?

Need help figuring out calories while breastfeeding
I'm not really new to MFP but only did it a month or two about a year ago and then got pregnant with my second daughter who is now 10 weeks old. I am breastfeeding her exclusively and she loves to nurse and typically nurses at least every 2 hours. I'm just getting back into MFP and would be happy to lose another 10lbs or…

Celelbrity Fit Club
Anyone watching the new season?? I'm enjoying it- quite inspirational and I love, love Jay!! I could, however, do without Harvey- a bit over the top.:ohwell: The judges just said that very few people in this world (likely just those afflicted with a thyroid problem) are predisposed to be overweight. Just wondering if…

visible weight loss?
I've lost about 10lbs (which is the number where I said to myself that I would believe that this is really working and not just water weight) but I don't feel any different. I'm 5'2" and 10lbs is about 7% of my starting weight. When did you notice you were really losing weight? When did other people notice that you were…

Tummy Troubles: Too much fiber too fast?

I am sticking to my 2210 calories (previously 1800) which is at least 500 calorie deficit before exercise. My wife is suggesting that it may simply…
