What's worse and what's best??
I've been looking at the nutrition labels on everything I eat, watching my caloric intake, and trying to decide what makes one food item better than another. This is where I get stumped. I look at the amount of Carbs, the amount of Fats, the Calories, Sugars, etc, but don't know which of these I should be watching the…

Is there anyway to control where you lose the weight?
I don't have too much weight to lose, but most of what I have I carry in my hips, thighs and butt. I've been watching my calories, and doing light to moderate exercise. I always focus on exercises that work out my thighs, like walking, running and using my mini trampoline, and I also do strength training exercises for my…

Trying to consistently stay at 1200 net calories but *gainin
Hi everyone. My weight loss has been inconsistent - I lose and then gain, and then do it over again, all around the mulberry bush... *sigh* I just realized it might be because I don't always eat enough net calories and/or because my net calories vary inconsistently. MFP tells me to have 1200 net calories, but most days I…

Cheat Days
I've been back on the wagon for five days now. I have been prepping for midterms and unable to exercise as much as I need to, so my caloric intake has been low, but if I'm hungry, I eat something. I have just been choosing really low-cal things to eat, so I don't necessarily feel like I'm starving myself. However, today I…

Bummer....
I'm in a cast at the moment and my scale at home wont work will be balancing on just one foot so I can no longer do a weekly weighin. I'm really bummed out because watching that scale go down every week really kept me motivated. I'm terrified that in 8 weeks when the cast is removed that I will get on the scale and see…

Discouraged...
*bear with me, I tend to ramble* Hey all - well, I need help. Last year I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, a digestive disorder that can get worse with stress but as long as I stay on my medication the flare-ups aren't too bad. I have always been active (I train horses, run, sports, etc...) but still struggle with…

To work out today or not?
Ok, so I've done REALLY well eating today AND I burned 1800 calories playing tennis yesterday AND we had no ac for the first day of school. So, should I do my 35 minutes cardio workout? I'm tired and would really just like to relax tonight. I'm also down a pound from last week :-)

Fat Friends
This is kind of a sensitive topic, but I'm really struggling with it. A lot of my friends are fat. A LOT. I've never been the biggest among them. I'm actually on the smaller side compared to them, even though I've been overweight for years. But here's the thing--now I'm losing weight, and my friends aren't. And it's making…

Teacher needs help!
Hey fellow teachers, I have been on summer vacation and have completely fell off the wagon. We start school this Thursday and I am ready to get back on track tomorrow. We have to go to PD meetings for the next 2 days but I thought this is no reason why I can't work out. Before we got out for the summer I would walk the…

Useful links
How about collecting all good articles and informative sites in a thread? I know Banks and other people are doing a lot of research and I'd highly appreciate getting it all under one umbrella :smile:. Since googling gives you tons of stuff, I'd love to get it filtered out by "My" knowledgeable and critical "Fitness Pals".…

my warning on canned foods.
Never leave a metal can that has been opened in the fridge because the can starts to oxidize and will make the food spoil at an extremely fast rate. even in the fridge bacteria can grow and in a metal can it will grow faster. I didn't know this, and trust me, I'm paying for it....:ohwell:

Frustrated (Venting, I apologize in advance...)

Wellbutrin; has anyone been on it?
Recently I was diagnosed with depression. I am seeing a therapist but a psychiatrist also prescribed me Wellbutrin. Reading up on it, apparently some people love it because it does not cause weight gain--and even makes some people lose weight. I prefer this to the common weight-gain side effects of other antidepressants…

KC Fitness - Anyone in Kansas City Area
Has anyone from the Kansas City area seen the "KC Fitness Magazine" around. My sister from Lawrence sent me a copy of this and I really enjoyed it. It was well written and mostly all local issues but I guess that is the point of it. Wondering if anyone else has seen this.
