The UGH of these last few pounds... :/
I've had to lose big weight before... (over 40 lbs after each child was born...) I always grow impatient with these last 10 lbs... They take SO LONG TO COME OFF even when you're doing all of the right things... I know a healthy pace for the loss is better in the long term but today I'm just feeling a bit impatient!!! =p…

What to do when you eat out a lot?
I am in a unique position, which most would find fantastic. Fresh out of college, I have a great new job which actually buys me lunch every day. Sometimes we order pizza, Portillo's, Chinese or - if I'm lucky - Jimmy Johns. While this saves me money and is a wonderful benefit to working here, it has been difficult to…

That 'time of the month'
Hey ladies! I've been having a REALLY hard time feeling like anything other than a blimp during my monthly visit and want to know if any of you change your routine during that week?

Anyone Here Have Experience Maintaining Weight?
I didn't have a lot to lose when I first joined MFP. I was mostly looking for a way to track my health and help me figure out the calorie intake I need to work out and be healthy. I am happy to say that I am at the point where all I want to do is maintain my current weight. To that end, I have a few questions. In your…

REALLY fed up of not losing now
I am sticking carefully to the calories set by MFP and have looked at other calculators which give me similar values. However I'm not losing inches or pounds. Lots of threads say I should UP my calories but it doesn't make sense to me. Do others find this has worked or should I decrease them? I'm 5ft7, 47 female and weight…

Does Anyone Have Experience With Protein Powder?

Heading out of town for Thanksgiving
Just started on a successful trip down to my favorite weight...122 (5'4")...where I can forget loose sweaters and be able to tuck blouses into jeans. Right now I'm down 2 pounds, and weigh 125. We're going to a family get-together for 24 people, and our assignment is stuffing, so bringing a plain salad isn't an option. I'm…

Think I've had an epiphanie
Think I maybe wrong to worry about walking a few extra steps during the day and getting a Fitbit. I'm within my healthy weight range and not much to lose so probably need to put the emphasis on upping my exercise. So going to look at getting a HRM instead. It's difficult taking advice from people who have a lot to lose as…
