Any Canadians doing the Terry Fox Run this September?
I am 43 and I have wanted to do the Terry Fox run since I was 18. This fall I will do it. It is 5.5 km here in BC. I started using the 5km trainer about 12 days ago.

Says I can eat 1200 calories plus what I burn in exercise when I exercise. But then that means that the days I don't train I only eat 1200…

Dry pasta calories
I plan to get a food scale next week, but until then I don't want to be eating more than I should... How many calories does half a cup of dry pasta shells contain, just generally? I know it differs depending on the shape, but on average? I feel as if I'm underestimating calories.

Scale Discrepancy
The last time I was weighed by a doctor’s scale, about 3 weeks ago, I weighed 297. But when I got home, I weighed myself on the scale that I normally use, I was 285. That’s a huge difference, at least to me. I weighed myself on my home scale this morning and my weight was 278. What do you do when there is such a huge scale…

do you get hungry!?
My biggest problem is I have a HUGE appetite, I could eat three servings at dinner if I allowed myself to and have a snack an hour later. I get hungry a lot and eat a lot, I honestly eat similar portion sizes to my boyfriend, if not more. Considering the amount I eat I am not really that over weight at all. How did you all…

Lost my way now I'm back?! HELLLLPP
Hey guys, So basically I was near my goal weight of 120 (I was 124) but started slacking and now a few months later of a bad diet I'm back at 135.

Calorie Deficit Questions
So I have talked this over with my doctor who assures me that losing 5 pounds a week wouldn't be out of the way for me given my current weight, just very difficult to make happen...I've done the calculator(on the American cancer society website) that tells you how many calories you need daily to maintain your current…

Scale is not moving
I started MFP about 6 weeks ago and I've been exercising a minimum of 30minutes a day 4-5 days a week and reduced my calories since starting and I have gained weight. I know gaining weight is normal in the first few weeks but it's been 6 weeks and nothing is giving and I'm not compensating for exercise by eating more food.…

Studying hunger/munchies
When I study for hours on end in the library (life of a grad student) I get the munchies really bad, or feel hungry when I know that I have just eaten. It gets to the point where I have trouble focusing, because I am just thinking about food. Any of you have anything that's helped you in a similar situation?

first weigh – in; shock & horror
Well, this has been day one. Today I weighed myself for the first time in a long time. The magic number: 430.4 Lbs. Though at my heaviest before this particular weigh-in got close – 425, this is my absolute record high, and it's completely knocked me for six. Not that I have a right to be surprised, as I've spent the last…
