Don't you fuss at me.... : )
So, I just started yesterday on my life changing journey so don't be too hard on me. Okay, you know the little girl in the movie "Signs" who thought all water tasted funny, well that's me, except not so little. I think all water has some kind of funny after taste to it. I've tried them all. I've been drinking quite a bit…

Can I lose weight without exercise?
I just started my diet today and feel really quite motivated ( although suffering from a stinkpoo cold ) but my question is this - I lost some weight last year but swam three times a week so the exercise really helped. I have a pool membership coming up mid February ( after the new year rush ) but am unable to do any other…

20-25lbs to lose-- Looking for Encouraging MFP Friends
Hello MFP World! I am just coming back after a few years from using this (and even then it was more out of testing, not routine use). I'm turning 28 on April 3rd and want to lose 20lbs by then at 2lbs/week. I love to run, but I also LOVE TO LIFT. The problem is my unconscious eating in the past or extreme diets (raw,…

Country Aussie Starting Out
Hi Folks A few years ago I was 108 kg (238lbs). I worked hard to get down to 88 kg (194lbs) but had time to get to the gym and pool and had more time to organise my food. PT study and FT work meant little time for anything and grabbing food on the run. I went back up to about 95 kg (209lbs). I've recently decided I want to…

Following the suggested calorie guideline
Hi All, I am new to this website and so far, loving it! It really allows me to be mindful of what I'm putting into my body when I have to log it. MyFitnessPal has suggested that I intake 1200 calories per day. Now I may be just over-analyzing this but you know that little phrase on the bottom of the page when recording…

Are my calorie goals too low?
Hey everyone. I'm pretty new here, but I did livestrong for a few years. I managed to lose 50 lbs with their help, but I've gained about 25 back and I'm looking to lose that now. With all of my calculations, MFP said I should be eating 1200 cals/day to lose 2 lbs a week. This seems low to me, as I remember from my…

I joined MFP over 2 years ago, lost about 40 lbs and then stopped logging and gained probably a good 15 lbs back( I'm too afraid to step back on the scale).

Too few calories?
Is it possible to eat too few calories per day... I've heard that my body will store all that I give it if I cut too much too fast. I've been at this new lifestyle for a couple weeks now and feel I am doing well. I usually have between 500 and 1000 calories available at the end of my day. I am eating much healthier foods…

Will a Foreman grill set off the sprinklers in a hotel room?
My daughter has a cheer competition in Indianapolis this weekend, we'll be there for 4 days. I told her that we will be eating in the room the entire time and figured I'd bring a small George Foreman type of grill to cook up chicken and veggies. Does anyone know if the grill will set off the smoke alram in the room?

More than I thought - womp womp
Today I am feeling awful after I weighed myself! I haven't done so in 2 years, and it appears as if those two years were not so kind. Anyone else have this happen to them? Any suggestions to get over it? I know it is just a number, but we gather so much from that number!
