Tiny steps are still steps
So, I have been doing this whole "new healthy lifestyle" thing for about a month now and so far, so good. I am feeling good and losing pounds and inches. Saturday evening I went out to dinner, something that I haven't done since I started this a month ago. Worst yet, I went to Chilis. I ordered those little burgers, you…

pudding lovers... ASSEMBLE!!!
Last night I had tons of calories left over (because I ran my *kitten* off in the morning - and because I'm a champ all-around), so the hubby and I had Dairy Queen because I was drooling over their Thin Mint Blizzard commercials. OHHH Boy was it good!!!! But I was sad while eating it, because I knew it was a special treat…

Why do you/should you eat all of net calories?
I've always been under the impression that in order to lose weight you needed to burn more than you consume. If this is the case, why should you eat all the calories you burn from exercising? Does it really make a difference?

How did I gain 2 pounds yesterday??
I woke up today and for the first time the scale said I gained weight. I have not exceeded more than 1300-1400 calories in over a month and I know in order to gain two pounds I would have to eat 7000 calories more than what I burn. What could cause this? Water retention? The only other thing I could think of is I have had…

OT: WELL SAID BY GEORGE CARLIN
A Message by George Carlin: The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less…

Suggestions
Hello All....just wanted to ask what kind of diet people find the most effective ? At the moment I am convinced that I should keep it simple - calorie counting - 1200 cals - and as I have a active puppy - take the puppy out for a 30 min walk early morning and then late evening... Any suggestions welcomed!

Premenopause? Word to me--womens talk!
Ok, my fellow older women! I'm 45 and think I'm premenopausal. For the last several months, my TOMs have been slightly erratic and unusually short--3-4 days whereas they used to be 5-7. Now this month, I'm a day late. Now, I know a day late isn't that "big" a deal but I'm NEVER late. I'm almost always a couple days earlier…

Today marks 3 months since I joined MFP, and I wanted to say thanks to all y'all for the incredible support I've gotten in those 3 months.

Hi....I am just starting out with the MFP...looks like a great site but I am wondering if there is anyone out there in the Alaskan bush? The reasons i ask is becuase i understand getting your groceries is quite a different affair than if you live in a big town or in the lower 48 so I was hoping someone in the bush can tell…
