How to start, really start?
Any thoughts on how to start? How to not get so distracted by how long it's going to take to lose 45 lbs, and how last year it was only 35 lbs? How do I move forward and decide I'm sick of my fat pants being tight and my size 40 bra being too tight? How do I get past being the fat girl in the family and become the girl who…

No scale
I don't own a scale and honestly I'm too poor to purchase one. I only get weighed at the doctor's office every couple of months. I'm wondering if i really need to save up to buy one. Are daily/weekly/monthly weigh-ins really that important to reaching your goals?

Anybody else feeling the burn of going to the gym for the first time in way too long? Not even painkillers are fixing these aches. I'm on day 4 of diet modification and day 3 of the gym. I'm really bloated and I hurt in places I forgot about. I guess that's my punishment for letting myself go so much over the years. Who…

Food logging question
Hi everyone! I am starting to log my food tomorrow and wanted to start to get some items in there so I can figure out the calories. How do you log grilled chicken? I am not sure how many oz = calories. I think the logging is confusing so that is why I wanted to check. Thanks!

it's going to take over a year, how to get motivated?
I grew up thinking I was fat - probably because I grew taller and more quickly my peers. I was 5 ft 7 at 11 years old. I was probably 120 pounds. By high school I was the same height but probably 145. I thought I was fat. I used to train for half marathons at that weight. In retrospect, I'm wondering why my mother didn't…

Newbie here... with a few questions!
So first let me say that i have never tried to lose weight by counting calories alone. It has always been Weight Watchers, SlimFast Atkins or diet pills etc etc you get the picture. I even went so far to use the pills you could buy over the counter back in the 70's-80's..DexaTrim ..I think?! Do they still make them I…

Help with calories please?
MFP calculated me at 1200 so I've been eating this minus my exercise as I've not really been eating my exercise calories back, only when I've felt hungry. I normally feel full due to drinking a lot of water and tea. Should I be eating more than this? As a normal day of not dieting would be about 1600-1800 and I've been…

TDEE vs. NEAT vs. What Have you.
I am well aware that this topic has been beaten to death, however, I cannot wrap my head around it. I am not sure as to how many calories I am supposed to eat a day to lose weight, whether or not to eat my exercise calories back, and whether my Fitbit shouldn't be associated with MFP account. How does MFP calculate what I…
