I am no expert, but if this is only happening OCCASIONALLY, then I wouldn't worry about it. If this happens more than not, then you need to reassess and up your calorie intake. In my opinion, worry more about your net calories FOR THE WEEK as opposed to just one day. Good luck to you. Kelly

Join the club. No really, I'm the President, Welcome in.

On behalf of every person over 40 in America...I love you.

Just a quick tip/suggestion if you decide to purchase a fish oil supplement. I have taking Barleans Omega Swirl Fish oil in the lemon flavor for about a month now. I get mine from a health food store but I have seen it online as well. It is a "liquid" form and frankly tastes like lemon pie filling (tasty stuff)! I was…

I don't think it really matters, because neither one would pick you.

I haven't been here long and I haven't lost much YET, but my main piece of advice is to take measurements, not just rely on the scale. I obviously don't know your story, but for most of us here, it took many years to put on the extra pounds, so give yourself at least as many weeks or months to take it off. Happy New Year…

Awww, come on, shouldn't these trolls be at the gym or something? We should have known this was just this guys fantasy that the hot young girl from class wants to be "friends with benefits". Sheesh, you'd think I was too old to fall for the classic "Letters to the Penthouse Forum". "I never thought this could happen to…

Normally I would say two consenting adults should be able to do what they want AS LONG as both are on the same page. That was, until you mentioned the trainer/student relationship. Now you are crossing a line and I think you know that or you wouldn't be questioning it. If for no other reason than your professional…

I'm drinking tonight, I'll do it tomorrow....OKAY? Wow, someone got up on the bossy side of the bed.

You say that, but most men would agree only if the woman is walking away from them as opposed to towards them.

Have a mentioned I think you are pretty awesome? Of course, so is my rack.

Vodka and club soda with lime is my go to cocktail. You could add a splash of cranberry if you'd like. Or the quintessential NYE drink, champage is a decent low cal option. Really, most alcohol is the same calorie wise, it's the mixers that can really add up. Happy New Years to you all :)

EXACTLY!!!!!! (cue, overly dramatic orchestra music) God, I miss my soap operas.

THIS! I know plateaus can be frustrating, but the added stress is not helping your already stressful situation. Please consider the above constructive advice to up your calories. Also, please take a step back and focus on what's REALLY important, time with your family. The remarks regarding the cake your MIL made, I don't…

This is it kids. I believe the Mayan calendar noted a 10pm maintanence shut down. It was great knowing all of you.

Ummmm, yes please!

I agree with this. Minimize perhaps, if certain foods cause problems or are "trigger" foods, but nothing (within reason) should be "off limits" in my opinion. But, to be fair, I am not a Doctor and I do not play one on TV, so what do I know?

Oh, I love me some Christmas treats! Egg nog - thank god they don't carry this all year long Kringle - traditional Danish almond pasty (no I'm not Danish, but I like the way they think) Hot buttered rum - we make our own mix with haagen dazs vanilla ice cream and TONS of butter Enstrom's almond toffee - I order a box every…

I agree with the sentiment here. It encompasses "the reason for the season" as they say. I say, DON'T FORGET TO STUFF THE CARDS WITH CASH! You're welcome.

Okay, I'm bumping this to find out if you all are really interested in a group and how do we go about putting one together ?????????? Cheers, Kelly

Okay PALS, I was kinda joking originally when I said we should have a wine club, but it seems there are a lot of wine drinkers on here (yeah)! I still relatively new to MFP, so I have no idea how to form a group and frankly have no idea what we would discuss other than our love of wine and food...(well, that's not such a…

Yes, but I'm trying to "up" my calories....so DRINK more to weigh less????? (please before someone crucifies me, that was a joke - you continue your journey, I'll be drunk in mine)

Ladies, we obviously need to start a wineo group here.... Oh, and the boys are invited as long as they bring a bottle...and snacks.

Wine is in the database. Search for it. All you need to know is how many ounces you drank (glass size) Hope that helps. Kelly, your friendly neighborhood wine snob.

I'm a big proponent of "everything in moderation". That said, I have been trying to not deprive myself of anything, but to also make it count. Meaning if I'm going to splurge on a piece of cake, for example, it will be the best quality one I can find (or bake myself). I don't drink cheap booze and I don't eat crappy food…

Some off the top of my head are: goat cheese stuffed piquillo peppers, proscuitto wrapped apples or melon (hell, I'd proscuitto wrap my FINGER and eat it) or any number of deviled eggs (curry, chipotle, shrimp & dill, pesto). These are all easy prep and can sit out for a few hours on your holiday table.

THIS. What I love about Target is they have so many different style of pants. My fav is the boot cut pant and I like that they have long and medium lengths. My "go to" place for tops and sports bras is Marshall's. I don't want to sound like a commercial, but they have name brands at great prices. Ecspecially check them out…

I think your legs look great, but what matters IS WHAT YOU THINK! If you think they are "too bulky" then try the advice above. Let this be a lesson to everyone. For 99% of the people on MFP you cannot have too many muscles. Starting threads like these will either incite a riot, or make yourself look like someone trolling…

I'm not sure why anyone would care if the perfect stranger below me would: date me, think I'm sexy, or comment on what's cute about me, but that doesn't stop those threads either. But please SOMEONE point me in the genral direction of the naked boob pics that everyone talks about, cuz....I don't get out much.
