Indian Food
I am going to try Indian food tomorrow for the first time. I'm not overly concerned with staying exactly in my calories for the day (especially since I've been under all week), but I'm wondering what some decent options are. Looking at the menu online, it seems that most dishes have a LOT of different ingredients so it's…

Is it really bad if...
I just started this program. I did really well on the eating and working out last week, but I slipped up a couple of times this week. Not horribly, but enough that it was discouraging. Is it really bad if once in awhile you have a bad day as far as going over on calories? Thanks!

Acid reflux in the mid morning
I struggle eating breakfast every morning. I just don't wake up hungry and my stomach is typically upset in the morning. So I usually skip bfast for those reasons. But I realize I have to start eating Bfast so I force it. But when I eat bfast around mid morning I get wicked wicked acid reflux. Then I eat lunch and I am ok…

Has anyone tried GNC WELLbeING® be-FULFILLED™ Weight Mana
Hello, I have been using Herbalife for 1 to 2 meal replacements a day. I enjoy the taste, it works good with soy, it isnt too "chalky" and it goes down smooth but it is too darn expensive. I need to find something that is high in protein and fiber and low in carb. My options for stores are Kroger, GNC and Costco. I can't…

I workout and eat right, and still do not lose weight
I just don't understand I workout 5 days a week doing 25-30 min of cardio everyday, also legs one day, chest & tri's the next, than back and biceps, than shoulders. I also do abs @ least 3 days a week, and eat about 1200-1400 calories a day, and still cannot drop any weight. Anyone have any advice, or tips that would be…

weigh? clothes on or off?
This is a kindof crazy question. But out of curiousity when you weigh yourself to record your weight do you do it with clothes on or off? I like to weigh myself first thing in the morning, but the difference with clothes on or off could be 3 lbs or more?

Female "Stuff"
I'm not sure where to ask this but here it goes. Has anyone had changes in their cycles since beginning their weight loss journey? Granted I'm only 9 lbs. into mine but it seems like there's been a "disturbance in the force" so to speak. :blushing: I know I'm not preggo and I've always been super regular. Anyone else had…

MFP Recommended Calorie Intake - Too low??
I have been wondering if my MFP recommended calorie intake is a little too low. The reason I'm thinking this is because I haven't had the energy I should have when exercising. I have found my last few exercises difficult. I realize that there are different calculations out there for BMR, and have found the one MFP is using…

Funny side effects: Eating More Yummy Stuff
The funny side effect of a food journal is that I generally end up eating more often the stuff that I really like (and I've done journalling before I came to MFP). When not counting, I eat a lot of plain cheese sandwiches. When counting, I generally slap eggs, ham and bell pepper on them while I'm at it. It tastes much…

I am taking an Omega 3, vitamin d (2000mg), Bee Pollen and a multi vitamin daily. I am curious at what other people are taking. I can notice a huge change in energy level when I remember to take them daily...but with three kids under 6 it is sometimes forgot in the shuffle. :laugh: The Omega 3(fish oils) is to bring down…

HELP.
Right now I'm craving for some fatty unhealthy foods, and my mind can't get rid of it. I need to avoid this. I've been off track with my food diary lately, always going over everything. I'm chewing on a piece of sugarless gum and all I can think about are fatty fried foods. Any suggestions to avoid this will help. YEs,…

Diet Makeover Needed!
Well, I've been on a weight loss kick since October 2009. I managed to lose 10 pounds in the first month and a half just by diet change. But, I knew I had a bigger goal. So, I started to exercise. I joined 24 hour fitness and went to a spin class several times a week. I added in some more cardio before spin. Then, added in…

Can you over exercise?
I doubt you can, but I am not all knowing... Can you over exercise. MFP sets me a goal of 400 calorie burn exercise per day - I do about 700-800 calorie burn per day. Thus, today, after my workout, I will have had all my total week of calorie burn from exercise. I figure that this is a good thing, but I want to know if…

Calories VS Cell Phone Minutes
I know that some cell phone providers offer roll-over minutes for all unused minutes included in your plan. Would that same logic apply to our daily goal for caloric intake? Example: If I have 200 calories left at the end of the day is it healthy and within my diet plan to not eat them but "roll them over" for a splurge…
