Feeling Confident about MFP
At first, I have to admit, that I was a bit skeptical about a website helping me to lose weight. Then I realized that its not just a website helping me lose weight, its a website helping me help myself to lose weight. Before MFP I would just eat and think, Oh Im sure that im not really eating that much, but then I logged…

Loosing too fast/ double what MFP projects?
So I have my calculations set at a projected 1 pound a week weight loss or a 500 daily calorie deficit. I put myself as lightly active even though I'm probably not because I don't want to eat less than my BMR and throw myself into starvation mode. I'm seeing amazing results and have lost 20 pounds in a little less than 9…

question about digestion
i've wondered about this for a while now. does eating a healthy food along with an unhealthy food block more of the unhealthy food from getting absorbed and used? For example: You're hungry for an afternoon snack while you're out and about, and your food choices are limited. Say the only food around you at the moment is…

Is 5 pounds too much for my first week?
Well, this site is a success! I've lost 5 pounds in my first week. I started the day after Christmas. I just didn't feel like eating much when I started out this week, and had to force feed to get 1,000 calories.

Santa came late!
in the form of a Craigslist poster who gave me their elliptical trainer that they no longer use. It still had the plastic on the electronic gauges- that's how unused it sat in their garage. They gave it to me for FREE- and even delivered it. I'm so happy to get it, now I have NO excuses for not working out. Got on this…

So we started a biggest loser competition at work on 11/9 and as a group we all agreed it would run from 11/9/09 to 1/11/10. As of yesterday's weigh in, I just took the lead.

Christmas Gift Dilemma
I do a LOT of chopping when I make meals. As a joke, I often say that my cooking consists primarily of figuring out how many different combinations that mushrooms, onions, garlic, broccoli, and peppers can be prepared. A mainstay of my diet is what was referred to on Seinfeld as "The Big Salad". For me, texture and color…
