Fortunately, the foods for the past week (my only week on MFP!) are not typical. It has been Admin Appreciation week here, so they are trying to stuff us, and I am weak! I do try to make sure I have plenty of veggies and fruit. I eat some everyday, just not always in the raw form. I have added some fresh vegs & fruits to…

It looks as though you are eating too many carbs without additional exercise. If you have always walked the dog 2x per day, now it's time to jog or powerwalk the dog! Or cut back on the carbs, I too am always below my calories...

Whenever you start lifting weights you have to realize that the fat that would typically drop off, is instead turning into muscle and therefore the numbers aren't going to drop, at least for now. LIfting weights is a great way to drop lbs, muscle by itself burns calories. Don't feel defeated, keep doing what you're doing.…

All looks good to me, but check your carbs on some of those fruits. Apples, grapes, plums have tons, so maybe you should select your fave fruits for the day and balance out the nutrition. Doesn't seem like you are eating "enough" fats, but I am not sure that's a bad thing.

You'll see how certain fruits & veggies should be eaten in moderation, while others you can nibble all day. Certain fruits contain a good bit of…

I'm a newbie too and loving it! I have to be honest, the message boards are truly inspiring. At home, it's just me and the hubs, so comparing my eating to his is NOT helpful, but on here it is! I have lost 3lbs since Monday and can't wait to lose another 27!!!!!! Keep up with the positive posts ladies!!

I probably am eating more than I think, you're right. I am not sure how to display my diary, so let me know! I feel fine, not hungry, but am certainly eating less than I used to. Have lost 3lbs since I started on Monday, think it might be the initial drop, and I don't want to "starve" my body, but YES to nuts and YES to…

Awesome job, keep up the GREAT WORK!

I have only been on MFP a week and have noticed I eat WAY too much protein for someone who is not exercising daily. Eating too much protein can cause upset stomach and can actually attribute to weight gain. After all, people use protein to bulk up, so if that's not your goal, try and cut back. I have noticed that I…

I am terrible about it too, must be the boobs. I find when I am sitting at my desk, I scoot as close as pssible to the desk so the chair is actually straightening my back. Otherwise, I just try to remind myself to tighten my abs periodically, stregthen my core and helps posture.

Thanks, I needed that. It's not magic, it's perserverance...
