First day of 6 month diet...
Getting kinda hungry... I think the first week is the hardest though. I'm thinking about eating a decent sized meal and then going for a run to work off the calories. This is going to be a tough week though, I can tell.

What do you do when sick?
Hi everyone, I am fairly new and started getting sick. I really do not feel like eating anything and only drinking tea. Do I really need to eat when I can't keep food down? That just seems silly to me but I don't want to go into starvation mode by not eating. I also don't think straight when I don't feel well so someone…

What do you do...
To stay motivated? I am three weeks in and I started an accomplishment log.

Getting Started and Staying Motivated
Hi, My name is Carlie and I am a 19 year old college student. I am about 5' 5.5" and around 160 lbs. My goal is to lose between 15-20 lbs. I am just starting here, but I am no stranger to exercise.

Day 3 - Am I Doing This Properly?
Hi all. This'll be the 3rd day that I'm actively trying to watch what I eat & to that end only eat when I'm certain that I'm hungry. However at about 330lbs my target calories are around 2220 per day according to MFP. The calculator that people reccommended I use on another thread (Scooybysworkshop) suggests that I eat…

Time to begin
So I joined MFP about a week ago and I have been trying to get back into the swing of things (I have been on this site before). Today marks the first day that I am truly going to start this. I need to lose weight not only for health, but to feel good about myself. I want to fit into my clothes. I want to look myself in the…

How many calories would you say I should be on per day? I'm a 27yr old female and currently weigh 237lbs. I have my activity level set at sedentary (I have a desk job but walk the dog for approx 30mins per day and go to boxercise once a week) and eat back my exercise calories. First week I stayed the same. Second week I…

I'm scared
Hey everyone, I am starting my weight loss journey tomorrow. I have started this journey several times in the past but never stuck to it nor even came close to finishing it. As a kid I have always been overweight. During my teen and early 20s, the lowest I got was 150 and I was around 5'6 then. Now I am 27, 5'8 and 250…

vegetables
If I eat raw or steamed vegetables with no oil or dressing, just vegetables, should i also add them to my food diary? they add up a lot of calories for the day but are unfortunatley not filling enough for me...

Activity level question/opinion....
Hey, started some time ago and getting back into this and had a question on the activity level... I'm a manager at a resturant and spend about 8 hours a day on my feet when working. I've never really tracked how much I actually walk, but what would you guys think the activity level should be set at? I'm between lightly…

Apple, Pear or Hourglass MUST KNOW NOW
I stopped working out because I can no longer afford my gym membership and I wasn't seeing results. :/ I want a workout regime that works for my body type. However, I changed my diet and strangely, I lose weight when I add carbs into my diet and retained my weight when I went low-carb. I've lost weight, however I still…

Feeling overwhelmed by articles on health
It's so very confusing....one minute eggs are bad, the next they are good...red meat is ok...as long as you limit your intake..carbs are good one minute...not so good the next. This week it's an article on foods that fight cellulite. http://shine.yahoo.com/shine-food/10-foods-fight-cellulite-155400053.html I feel bombarded…

please explain the problem with low calories...
I don't get all these posts saying 1200 is too low, I set mine to 1000. I eat things like omelots, sandwiches, salads, tuna, salmon, veggies, fruit, cereal, cheese and I don't feel hungy at 1000. I think I'm getting a good mix, but I don't get why that is so low. Shouldn't it be about what you are eating, rather than just…

Starting over - 2 weeks in - No progress
So I "started over" on my quest for weight loss a few weeks ago. I lost 8 pounds, then two weeks ago I started exercising regularly, and I haven't lost a pound since. I've been staying under my calorie goal, so what's going on? I feel like giving up. Should I just be patient and keep doing what I've been doing, or should I…

Hello! I'm so lonely......
I joined my fitness pal (app) for the experience and also for support but I don't have any friends using it and I really don't have any body supporting me to get fit because they all think I'm super healthy and well. 'A sign of good living' they call it! I just need motivation. It's very hard trying to be healthy for…

Weekend entertainment (Without cheating!)
Okay, so my partner and I are fortunately on this diet together which means one isn't going to annoy the other at weekend activities. Our problem is, we work hard all week, go the gym and come weekend we find ourselves bored at 6pm. We go to the cinema A LOT and it is now getting dull (even for huge film lovers). We are…
