Anyone having trouble using all your calories for the day?

A couple of Questions...
Hi. Does anyone else feel like you're eating too much? My food diary calculates that I should eat 1540 calories a day but it feels like so much food.

Skinny B!tch diet
Has anyone tried this? I just bought the book, hearing that it is hilarious and a great way to loose weight.

I've been doing it for the past few days and I have to admit my stomach already looks flatter, but my mom thinks…

What am I doing wrong?
I've been trying to commit to this eating healthy and exercise, but it's hard because I'm used to eating what I want when ever I want. Many people are telling me a lot of different things like I should be consuming 1500 - 2000 calories a day because I'm 17. Right know I'm doing about 1200-1300 and I've gained two pounds.…

I am ashamed of myself.....
I have gained 6 pounds. I am not going to let it get me down though, I am going to work thru this and get back on it and continue on my weight loss journey.

Is your goal just a number?
That's how I feel. I am 5'7, starting weight 175 and goal weight 140-145. I have lost 13 lbs so far in 6 weeks of joining MFP and it feels great. Why am I so obsessed with reaching my goal of 145? Last Friday I finally fit into my "goal" jeans that I have not been able to wear in years. 6 weeks ago, I couldn't even zip…

Does anyone feel like theyre starving?
I am on 1300 cals...and yes, i do go over occasionally. But, thanks to one of the newest threads, of making your diaries public for people.

How can I get in better shape?
I'm an 18 year old girl. I'm exactly 5 feet tall and I currently weigh 121 pounds. Before the summer started, I weighed 118 pounds. And I didn't realize how bad my habits have gotten until I tried to fit in to my jeans. I usually wear a size 9 or 11 in jeans (mostly because of my hip size). How can I thin out my thighs and…

A QUESTION ABOUT WATER AND KNEE PAIN
Does anyone else experience knee pain if they don't drink enough water? Very recently I was having a lot of pain in the back of my knee. I thought it was a delayed reaction from an injury while doing the couch to 5K. It wasn't swollen and no bruising but that was the only thing I could think of. During the past week after…

What is good to eat before running?
I'm working on my sort of own version of couch to 5k and I know I should eat something before running/walking, but it seems that when I do eat something my stomach is upset or I get really bad cramps. So, what can I eat before exercising that won't make my stomach upset?

Weight at different ages
I am curious what you all think about what weight looks good at different ages. I am 45 and was talking to a friend about how I wanted to lose about 20 more lbs. She wanted to know why I still wanted to lose more because she though I would look too thin if I were 20 lbs lighter. I told her that I wanted to get back down to…
