Make sure you're finding food database entries here that are confirmed. A medium baked potato is really only about 173 calories, not 400. Do some reading on here about whether or not to eat back your exercise calories. It's a hotly debated topic, as is "starvation mode". Even if you're not going to eat back your exercise…

So, on Photobucket, on the right hand side, there's a list and one of them looks like this Copy that one, only after you paste it here, change the uppercase IMG to lowercase img, then it should work like a charm. :)

Here you go, hon. You look awesome! Very proud of you.

If I have an extra cup of hot tea during the day, I sometimes don't bother to log that, since I use sweetener and barely a splash of milk and it'd only a calorie or two, and I don't log my diet Coke, but anything with calories - milk, juice, etc, I definitely log. Those can add up!

I started at 1200 calories, as a lot of people do, I guess, then changed my goal to 1 lb loss per week and went up to 1310. I lost at 1200, plateaued and then lost again when I stepped it up to 1300 and went through a series of ups and downs but was getting frustrated with the plateaus and with feeling like I wanted to eat…

That's them. They're whole other people with different weights and fitness levels, different body compositions and different goals but, more importantly, they're not you and you're pretty much the only person you need to compare yourself to. You're more active than you used to be - hell, that you're active at ALL is…

Baby, Baby by Justin Beiber and Party In The USA by Miley Cirus. :embarassed: They make me walk faster but if anyone finds them on my iPod, I'm making up imaginary tweenagers and claiming they put them on there.

For me, regular clothes, no shoes or jacket (say, jeans and a sweat shirt), nothing in my pockets, about two pounds. Obviously it varies depending on what you're wearing, etc. I "officially" weigh first thing in the morning, nekkid, but if I happen to hop on the scale in the evening, I know I can typically count on being…

Hi! Today is my 200th day on MFP. I started at 1200 calories, changed my goal from 2 lbs a week to 1 lb a week and moved up to 1310 calories. I recently got a Fitbit and I'm really enjoying it. It gives me a daily calorie adjustment based on my activity and that's pushed me up to around 1700 calories a day or more and I'm…

I think the pantyhose (or bare legs) looks way better than the black tights. And your legs looks great, so don't worry!

Definitely the loose rings thing and, similarly, I lost my watch on Monday - it was the kind with the stretchy metal band and had been very loose for some time now but apparently my hand/wrist has now shrunk to the point that my watch was able to slip right off my hand without me noticing. It wasn't a particularly fancy or…

I just joined and I'm looking forward to the challenges! I've got an MFP friend who issues daily challenges, but not every day and I've really come to appreciate having fitness kind of on my mind every hour or (half hour). Thanks for doing this!

Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya .. (Sorry, couldn't help myself. :wink: )

THAT is what you're doing wrong.

I'm with you. I'm between 5'6" and 5'7" depending on who measures me. I started at 195, am now at 165 and my goal is around 145 or 150. At my yearly physical last week I asked my doctor if she thought that was reasonable and she said she wouldn't suggest much under 150 for me. I'm also in a size 10 right now. I'm quite…

Same thing you tell it when you're NOT sick! ;)

I've just been home sick for three days. No energy, just laying around.. but luckily for me, I didn't have much of an appetite. Chicken soup and lots of water was fine for me. Do you want to eat because you're hungry, or because it's a comfort mechanism? If you're hungry .. eat. But I'm feeling a little better today, got…

I definitely don't log spices. I also don't log gum, and I've seen some people that do and I don't log my diet Coke, although I do log water and tea. Not sure why I don't keep track of the pop. No particular reason, I just never have.

Here's what's been working for me so far, all relatively small changes: - I started eating breakfast (instant oatmeal. Quick, easy, something in my belly to get the day started and I can make it at work and eat it at my desk). I also try to eat every two or three hours (works a lot better during the week. Weekends still…

I used to take melatonin almost every night to fall asleep. Now that I'm a little more active, I'm actually tired enough at the end of the day that I can fall asleep naturally. I've got a slightly torn medial meniscus in my right knee and the heavier I got, the more painful it was to climb stairs, bend at the knee, etc.…

Here are some resources I found in your area that you could try.

You guys! We had it wrong! It wasn't a sit-com or a chick-flick, it was a zombie movie!! All kidding aside, I'm so glad it worked out well for you. We all had our fingers crossed. Best of luck going forward.

Hmm.. either it's going really well or, in true sitcom style, there was some kind of hitch - she found the perfect outfit, did her nails, shaved her legs, got the fondue set up.. and he went to the game with his buddies, then to a bar and hasn't come home yet. (but I've got my fingers crossed that they're into their second…

My digital scale does that too. I'm sure my bathroom floor has all sorts of little dips and divots in it and if the scale gets moved, it shows a different weight. I have no way of knowing which is my "real" weight, but I've picked a spot on the floor and make sure I put the scale in the same place every time I weigh…

I can definitely see it! Forgive me for noticing, but you're getting a butt! No more flat *kitten*!

Although I haven't tried them yet, I have a package of shirataki noodles in my fridge. Apparently they're a good substitute for pasta. I found this recipe: http://www.hungry-girl.com/newsletters/raw/939 ETA: Ohh!! I'm trying this one! Fettucini alfredo-esque, for 80 calories a serving? Yeah!…

With so many country fans on here, I'm surprised no one's mentioned "Raymond" by Brett Eldredge. The video gets me every time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txCUwSKo1kg
