I have had the same issue. I recently changed to try and workout before I go in to work even though it means I get up way early. So far so good.

I think you are trying too hard. Maybe throwing off a vibe that is a bit needy. Fill your life up with people and activity and stop thinking about it. the day it stops bothering you I bet you meet her. BTW, weight never stopped me from meeting women. I used to get alot of "why is she with him" looks. It's really all about…

I have the same problem with friends and family. When I know where we are going ahead of time I go to the companies website and choose my meals based on the nutritional info. It has saved my *kitten* many times. I have never regretted it because the things I might naturally choose are usually the worst ones on the menu.…

if i skip lunch and inadequately snack then I am pretty hungry at dinner too :)

I had this problem too when I first joined. I figured out that it originated when I did my initial profile in that I picked "active" which gave me a higher calorie intake. Then I would log the exercise that I did in effect doubling those calories. Now I have picked sedentary and then log the exercise and eat those calories…

You should probably get some exercise too. Also, one pound of fat has roughly 3500 calories. To lose one pound a week that means you have to have a deficit of 500 calories a day. But the number that mfp gives you already has that deficit included, if you put in the right information. You don't need to eat less than that…

I like anything but vanilla. I don't think that's a problem. I buy strawberry. I buy chocolate. I buy double chocolate. I buy peanut butter. I just don't buy vanilla. I don't like it and that's fine by me. I shouldn't have to doctor it up to keep it down.

People require fewer calories as they age for many reasons. Muscle loss is a big part of that. Also cell division starts to slow after 30 and this process is progressive. The idea of a "damaged metabolism" is an old one and more recent data contradicts it. The body is an amazing machine and can recover if you start…

There is no such thing as a "damaged metabolism". If your metabolic rate is lower it is because you have lost muscle mass. To put muscle back on you have to eat more and exercise with predominately strengh training instead of cardio. More lean muscle mass will raise your metabolic rate. It ain't magic it's muscle. You can…

I spend too much time lurking on these boards lol

Wow. That's alot of stuff to deal with. Don't beat yourself up. Most of those things are outside of your control anyway. Just remember, when you can, that you have a resource here that you can utilize when you want it. Until then, remember to breathe..:happy:

Nice quiote, I'll use that one!

nice quote. I'll use that one!
