I'm burning 378 calories on the treadmill. and I am allowed to eat 1200 calories a day plus what I burn in exercise. And I never do. I eat approx 1300…

I'm so impatient!!!!!!!
I just want results now!! :sad: I know a lot of people have been saying that "you didn't put the weight on overnight so don't expect it to come off as quickly" but in my case, I kind of did put the weight super fast. In 4 weeks I gained nearly 10lbs... from a combination of overeating and not training. I've been training…

Major plateau
I haven't lost anything since 8/6. I know it has to do with my not having even 5 mins to exercise the last few weeks. I have too much more to lose to hit a plateau now!! Just feeling discouraged, I guess.

Really bummin! ) :
I found you wonderful folks at MFP just last week and have been so good with the food. I went for a run (which I've been doing - not new for me), and after the run, my knee started hurting, and by the next day I hurt all the way down my calf and foot. I couldn't even sleep last night it hurt so much and tonight looks like…

Breaking a bad habit
I am having trouble overcoming the act of eating "just because it is there" For example: If I'm at a mexican restaurant and they bring chips and salsa, I will each chips and talk until they are gone, just because they are there. If cookies are in the office, I always taste one to make sure it is not the best cookie I have…

hypothyrodism weight-loss seekers?
i think i rely on the scale too much. it's advised that we weight ourselves once a week, at exactly the same time, naked, on an empty stomach to rule out hormonal fluctuations, water weight and etc. i lost 2 lbs since last week (just joined last week) but now they are sort of creeping up. i weight myself daily and it's…

I am back (I hope)
I have not been going to the gym or watching what I eat for about 1 1/2 months. I just got fed up with not losing any weight for 6 months, I also was just letting my body reset, and get out of starvation mode. I am sure I was there, I was only allowing a net total of 1200 calories after about a year of 900 to 1000 calories…

Why won't the scale go down?
I am female and 50 and I know that those two facts create their own barriers to weight loss. I have been on weight loss programs before and the scale moved steadily downward. Right now I am on a 1200 - 1500 calorie diet and I walk 2 miles plus a day 6 days a week. This use to be a recipe for 2-3 lbs of steady weight loss a…

The Scale: A Tool, Not a Sharp-toothed Torture Device
The scale, most of us have one, is just a tool. An imperfect tool for measuring our health. I'm noticing a lot of people are giving it power it doesn't need, turning it into teethy instruments of torture ready to snap at your feet with a snarl if you've gained 1/16th of a pound in water weight, or purring like a regal…

Need to change my focus . . .
I'm having issues with my scale right now. :grumble: OK - for all summer now! I've changed, tweaked, and uped and downed until I'm half sick. But with stress, etc., I'm not making any progress. So I've decided to switch goals. Now I have to figure out what to focus on. My calorie intake? Exercising x amount of days a week?…
