Staying within calories
So... there's a lot going on about "eating all the calories, including the exercise ones". And people say they don't know how to eat all their calories. Well, people, I do NOT have this problem! :angry: I could eat a horse a day - divided into potions, don't get me wrong. :laugh: So I wanted to hear: is there anyone around…

Oh My Goodness...
My office's Thanksgiving Luncheon is tomorrow! I'm kind of nervous...I don't want to overload on the food and calories tomorrow...I think I'll be okay because I'm fairly new here and don't really feel comfortable going all out on the food in front of all these people I don't know, so I think that will keep me in check. Now…

It's all in the mind!!
I went to a hindu wedding this weekend and it was my first time attending an Indian wedding. The priest was amazing. Many times during the wedding ceremony he said the words "think positive" and it will happen. Meaning thinking positive makes things work for you. How true! It got me thinking about the weight loss scenario.…

Sunday Football parties...
Do not help me to lose weight. I did work out a lot yesterday though and didn't eat all my calories. I don't feel guilty because I knew it would happen and I worked out a lot yesterday in preparation for it. I don't know why I'm writing this. I just thought i'd share. Anyone else have parties like that?

11 Things Children Can Teach You About Weightloss
Here’s what every child knows that you may have forgotten. See if you can apply some of these lessons to your daily program: 1. Everything can be a game.

Weekends are my Downfall....anyone else?
This is a vicious cycle. Every week between Monday and Thursday, I lose like 2 pounds and every weekend, I gain them back! It is incredibly frustrating. I used to drink my calories on the weekend in alcohol, but I quit that only to replace those calories with constant mindless munching. After Thanksgiving, all bets are…

Reminder Ribbons!
Here's an idea for a watch-what-you-eat reminder: tie a ribbon around your wrist (preferably on the hand you eat most with!) and every time you go to eat something questionable, check out that bow and ask yourself, "Does my body REALLY need this?" Remember, every bite counts! Make your calories worth it!

I think I get it? Eating all the Calories.
The reason one must stay close to their calorie goal for the weight they want to be is to get the body to sustain on that many calories for that weight. If I go over the calories allotted, the calories will be stored as fat. If I go under the calories allotted, the body's self protective starvation defense is activated,…

Desperately Seeking Motivation
Hi All, My name is Lori Ann. I am a 44 year old mother of 3 (grown and out of the house) children, in Pennsylvania. I started on Fitness Pal about a month ago and have somehow...fallen away.

Ick, I feel gross
I started yesterday right. I went for a nice, relaxing, long walk (I skipped the gym: I've been working out everyday this week and my legs were aching), and I ate super healthy and was under in my calorie intake. But then we decided to go out on the town, to a pub with some friends. Lately I've been so dedicated to weight…

Visual Stimulation
Experts say that keeping clothes that are too small for you as motivation DOESN'T work, but they never said anything about photos! I have "trouble spots" in my house: the drawer where the candy is kept, the jar with the cookies, cupboard with the potato chips... you get the idea. And if I know anything about the battle of…
