Do you add your exercise calories back in? I agree with those saying you are not eating enough and should log in more. It helps me to enter foods before I eat them. If they take too many calories, I find something else. My guess is you are starving your body and it is hanging on to every calorie for survivial. Can't do…

I purposely go over on my protein but I stay withing the carbs, fat etc. If you are short on the protein for the day, yogurt, milk. cheese and peanut butter are high in protein. Careful on the peanut butter because it is high in calories.

Hi, I started Sept 1. So far so good and 5 pounds down. It is an amazing web site. I am so happy I found it. You can add me as a friend if you like. Good Luck

Ok, on the home cooked meals, you may want to have a sit down with your mother and get the ingredients to different dishes. It was amazing to me when I found out on this site how many calories a little olive oil adds and more for a little butter. Same amazement for ranch salad dressing calories, just add ons like these…

First, get your thyroid checked. I have thyroid issues and they have to be dealt with for many reasons including weight loss. If you have thyroid issues, you will lose slower but you will lose. Honestly, I don't think you are eating enough calories. Things have changed from the old ways of thinking. You have to eat enough…

Things I like - Fresh New Bottle of Nail Polish, New Tube of Lipstick and my favorite is New Bedroom Shoes from Dollar General for a whopping $3.00! Dollar General has the bedroom shoes in soft pink and soft blue with really thick soles. When you first put them on it is like your feet are on clouds. After a while they…

Seems like fewer men worry about weight issues as compared to women. Just my opinion.

Calorie counting and the tons and tons of nutritional information the site offers. I finally know what I am doing after 40 years.

Wow - Enjoyed reading every word. Happy for you. Now I have to figure out my probem!

For me, I am going the steady stable 1 pound a week. It took me 5 years to gain it and I know it will take close to a year to get it off. To be honest, I have done the quick weight loss route for the last 40 years and seems like I always took the quick route back to gain it all over again plus some. That's just me - do…

I am so happy for you. You have amazing will power and determination. Thanks so much about the comments on die ting because they are so true. I have dieted for 40 years and with MFP, this is the first time I actually know what I am doing. Love this site and hoping you the best life has to offer.

I am a trial and error gal. Since they sound pretty affordable I would give the girls shoes a try and see how they do.

I think a large percentage of us on MFP cheat from time to time. I know I do. One on the things that motivates me other than looking in the mirror to see how much weight I have gained is when I enter my foods and click at the end of the day. When I see what I will weigh in five weeks if I continue to eat like this, it give…

Thanks BrewerGeorge. I was too wimpy to say what you are saying but it is true. We would not need MFP because most of us would be starving. Organic is a nice concept but it just isn't possible if you want everyone to have food.

If you want to change your settings here is what you do. Click on My Home on top tabs, then click of Settings on 2nd row of Tabs. Then, click on Update diet/Fitness Profile. Make sure you click on the green box at the end to save changes.

Try eating some peanut butter or nuts. You don't have to eat much to get your calories up.

It has not happened to me personally but I do see these kind of remarks from time to time. I often wonder if it is sour grapes, ignorance or just plain rude.

I bought some new digital scales yesterday. I was so disappointed when I got on them. I weigh 7 pounds more on them than my regular scale. Anyway, I adjusted my original starting weight on MFP to make it easier to track. I know I have not gained 7 pounds in the last week but for some reason, I had a moment of feeling…

You are going to love this site. I have dieted for 40 years and this is the first time I know what I am doing. You can add me as a friend if you like. Good Luck

Welcome - It is a great site. I have read other post where the posters were Type 1 Diabetic. You may want to post "Looking Other Type I Diabetics" or something to that effect. You can all help each other out. Good Luck

You look so young to have an ulcer. Home it clears up very soon. I don't see how second hand smoke can irritate your ulcer but I am not a doctor. I guess the other alternative is to move out of your parents home, But take it from an old lady, if you are still staying in your parents home, you have it made in the shade!…

It means you went over the protein grams recomended by MFP by the -150 so yes you had a lot of protein. If you add the 150 to the recomended protein grams my MFP it will equal the top number of protein grams you actually ate. I go over all the time on protein. Better to go over on protein than fats and carbs. You are doing…

This is a great site. I started Sept 1 and have lost 5 pounds. I am going the steady stable 1 pound a week goal myself. You can add me as a friend if you like. Good Luck

I love this site too. It has helped me learn so much about what to eat and how to eat. I knew I had gained weight but like you, a photo of me got my attention. I have been here since Sept 1 and lost 5 pounds so I am very happpy. Good luck to you and I have a good sense of humor myself. Add me as a friend if you want.

Ha Ha - So true about what you concluded on the "Diet Drinks make you gain weight". I grew up drinking a diet coke and eating a candy bar because after all, you get your average down. So for me it is true. I did eat more when having a diet coke.

Ha Ha - smedium. I like that. I am going to start using it. To be brutally honest, the word fart makes me laugh every time. I know - I need to get out more. Someone sent me a text the other night and instead of far they had typed fart. I just laughed and laughed.

If you are in a serious relationship, your partner is being totally disrespectful to you and unless you live in his/her home, the partner is doing it in your home. Pack up the partner's crap and show them the door. You don't have the problem, they do. Do I notice sometimes a man is very attractive? Sure I do but I would…

Are you adding back in and eating your exercise calories? You may need to eat more calories. Also, when you are exercising a lot it is a good idea to use your measurements to help track your progress. Muscle weighs more than fat.

Welcome! I love this site. It is something I can actually do. I just started September 1 and I have lost about 5 pounds plus I have thyroid issues so it does work.

If you are pleased with where you are then you are where you need to be. I know the BMI tool on here is just an estimate. It would be unrealistic for me to try and reach the healthy BMI weight number for me so I don't stress about it.
