I eat breakfast at around 6:30 and I often find that I am ALWAYS starving by 10:15/11:00, sometimes even earlier! I never know what to eat. If i eat a lot i'm filled up, but i've chowed down around 400 calories. I drink a glass of skim milk with breakfast and usually have oat bran pancakes with some syrup, but even after 2…

Sweet tooth
So the reason that I am a "Not That Heavy Girl" is because I love sweets. Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone have tips on how to beat cravings for sweets? I run pretty often and go to the gym, and I think its just my sweet tooth thats holding me back from having the body I really want which is frustrating.

Not-That-Heavy Neighbors
This morning I was walking my dogs and saw an obese woman struggling down the street. It struck me as very odd, and it occurred to me that very heavy people are not a common sight where I live. It made me wonder if we are all influencing each other, in subtle ways, to live a healthy lifestyle and keep our weight down. Do…

Injuries, weight loss and firming up
I'm turning 40 in a matter of weeks and have just realized my body isn't bouncing back as quickly as it used to. I'm battling a significant rotator cuff impingement injury (caused by a weight lifting error; not being warm) as well as a failed hernia surgery from 2 years ago (my guess is because my body fat was SO low when…

Staying Motivated
Hi everyone! I'm 41, 5'3", and have just become unmotivated. I've let 10 lbs creep up on me over the past couple of years. Seriously, for the past year I have said every week "I'm starting my diet this week!". My family just rolls their eyes at me now, because day 1 is generally as far as I get. I know that religiously…

Exercise is not my problem, I…

Cheese for snacking
I've read in several fitness articles that cheese is a wise choice for a snack if you're looking to lose weight. I love cheese, so I really want this to be true but I don't want it to be an excuse for consuming too much. Another problem, I don't know what kind of cheese these articles are talking about. If anyone knows…

How to say "no" to food in social situations...
Last night I met a group of friends for dinner at a local restaurant. I looked up the menu online beforehand and came prepared knowing exactly what to order. I always do this so I won't be tempted to pick something unhealthy at the last minute. I make my decision when I'm calm and not hungry. When we arrive at the…

Do I need to eat more?
Hello everyone. I just started a new diet a little over a week ago. I've been counting calories and I'm averaging less than 1000 calories a day. That sounds a little low to me but I don't feel very hungry. Do I need to eat more? Add me please :)

I want to be "Obsessed"
OK, I am 5'4" and 157.4. Yes I want to be 130-140 and everyone says "you don't need to lose any weight" Well, sorry, but I love to run and it would be a lot less painful on my knees if I lost all this weight.

Nothing is working!
I am 5'10" and have always been 140ish, but in the past year my weight shot up quickly to 156. No matter what I try I can't lose. I tried eating more, eating less, exercising more, exercising less. No luck. I currently exercise a lot. I am curious if anyone with not much to lose has tried eating more to lose. I did try it…

Hello, I'm new to the group and relatively new to MFP. I'm finding the forums and blogs so incredibly inspirational. A few weeks ago my oldest graduated from high school and when I looked at the pictures I hated looking at myself. I'd like to lose around ten pounds. More would be good, but I'd like to set a reasonable…

Almost to your goal...but ACK!! Losing motivation!
I have been on MFP since February 8th and as you can see from my ticker I have done well (I am 5'5" by the way), almost a consistent 1 lb per week loss since then. My original goal weight was 135, but once I got there I realized it was not at all what I thought it would be so I adjusted goal to 121 (because that is 25 lb…
