In a perfect world I would crave Carrots instead of yummy salty chips. :)

I would first try changing whatever you are doing for a workout. It is good to vary your workouts to keep your body from getting adjusted to what you are doing. Also, you can try upping your protein. Try to get lots of protein first thing in the morning and get a minimum of 70g of protein through the day. If none of that…

Don't lower your protein intake. Think of the protein goal as a minimum goal. The extra protein will help you lose weight faster. I used to keep my protein abve 70g a day and lost tons of weight. Protein takes more for your body to break down. Watch your sodium intake as well as your calories and fats instead of worring…

I have much more than 30 to lose. I have lost almost 20 and I have 50lbs to go. I am working-out almost every day. (You have to give your body a break once in a while so you don't burn out.) I have my calorie goal set at 1200 a day (1200 works for me, my friend had to bump hers up to 1400 to be able to lose.) I don't ever…

I'm extra, extra lame! LOL. I have 7 friends on MFP. I know each one personally. For me it is nice to have the community available, but I rely on a core group of friends that have similar goals. I guess it is just comfortable to have a small, close knit group for support. Maybe one day I'll have the time to keep up with a…

A gallon of water a day is too much. It will dehydrate you. Trust me, you will never feel more stupid than when you are sitting in a hospital with an IV rehydrating you because you drank too much water. That said, nearly clear urine is fine. Being extremely well hydrated is a good thing. I've had several doctors coment on…

I think your food diary is a way to stay accountable to yourself. If everyone is looking at it and judging what you ate, good or bad, you would be less likely to 100% honest. Do I want everyone to know if I ate half my daughter's cookie? Do I want to be able to look back and see why my weight has gone up or down with…

If you lose 10% of your body weight your chances of getting pregnant increases. My advise is to continue b/c until you lose that much and when you stop your b/c continue eating healthy and working out but up your calorie count. You can get pregnant the first month off the pill. Some people are much more fertile when they…

I did it! I reached my first goal and I am already starting to plan out new ones. :) Now to keep the weight off through Christmas and New Years.
