Emotional Eating.....
I hate to keep bringing the emotional eating thing up but I'm really trying to understand it better so I can overcome it. What I want to know is if you have so many different things going on at one time that could be causing stress, how do you identify which one is causing you to eat?...Sometimes I have a tendency to think…

More Carbs, Less everything else
Man, I've been posting like crazy! I didn't realize how much I needed this website ... or how much a website like this could help ... until I joined! Anyway, I'm noticing that I almost always go over in fat and protein but don't even come close in carbs! And this is staying close to my total calories...or sometimes being…

To anyone who ever sleeps in...
For some reason today I woke up only about 20 minutes ago, it's 12:11 PM here, and I have had nothing to eat/drink yet!! How on earth do I catch up on all of my calories without stuffing myself silly :noway: I have normally already had breakfast, a small snack (fiber one bar), and I'd be making lunch right now :frown:

Ladies, what's a good time for your man to work out?
OK ladies, I'm going to confess...I struggle with finding a balanced time to work out, knowing that I'm going to leave my Mrs. alone at the house and not be able to chat/relate. I personally don't have a set time to work out, as some times I just get up and go; sometimes, I sneak out when I notice my wife is locked into…

For the womenfolk, I guess...
I've been using MFP since October, and haven't had a period since then. Could this be anything to do with dieting? I don't think I've been starving myself...sticking to 1200 net cals a day for most of that time, recently raised to 1400. But this is quite a drop from what I used to eat a day, (roughly 2500 - 3000kcals) so…

Anyone that's lost weight.......
How long does it take? I just started this site not even a week ago but I'm getting impatient. I think i'm expecting to much. It doesn't take long to put it on but to take it off does.

Anyone else's hair falling out?
I hate it. About 2 months ago, I redyed my hair like I also did and a TON of hair came out in the shower. I've always had quite a bit fall out in the shower - curly hair gets so knotted and is so dry. But so much came out that I burst into tears. I finally got to a dermatologist on Monday who said that it's probably…

Those exercise calories
Hey everybody, I talked to my personal trainer about the question of eating our exercise calories since when I eat mine, I don't lose weight. He said that unless we're under-eating or are very malnourished, our bodies will not go into starvation mode if you don't eat those exercise calories. For example, today, I have…

Spirituality and Health
I’ve been spiritually wandering for a long time. My father was Roman Catholic and born in Poland. My Mother now suspects (after his death last year) that his father was actually Jewish. My mom’s side of the family were non-practicing Christians, and God was never a real presence in my home. When I was in junior high, my…
