For pure weight loss, you can eat whatever you want as long as you're in a calorie deficit. For overall health, it's a good idea to eat a variety of foods (which can include "junk"). Unless you have specific medical concerns, there is no need to cut out foods you like.…

It pretty clearly says she's the passenger. If you can, bring a cooler or chilled lunch pack with healthier food/snacks. As for working out, you can do isometric stuff as someone else mentioned. You can also do seated curls if you have the room. Every time you stop for food/rest area, get up and walk around for 10-15…

I'm far away from my goal, but I am hoping my feet shrink a bit and I will have an easier time finding shoes.

Pure weight loss is about having a calorie deficit. Overall health improvement requires exercise. Medical conditions can complicate these 2 basics, but you should seek the advice of a registered dietitian familiar with your condition for specific advice. These provide good information:…

About $150 every 2-3 weeks (not counting eating out, but does include some basic household stuff) for my husband and me. I don't often have time to go to multiple stores, clip coupons, etc. and there are certain name brand items I won't buy the generic. We both like certain prepared items too (my husband has a weakness for…

I track everything. Coffee and tea don't have many calories but I still record them or I quick add cals for them at the very least. Creamers, skim milk, honey, sugar packets, juice, everything. I'd be hundreds of calories off in any given day if I didn't.

If you want actual nutrition advice, seek a registered dietitian, not a gym nutritionist.

First of all I think both pics look nice and in the case of the makeup pic I think it just accents your features (it makes your eyes stand out more). But none of that matters. If you really don't like makeup, wash it off and forget it ever happened. :) I don't wear any 99% of the time either, even though I know applying…

For those of you wondering how to check, both the website and and the app can show a weekly report of calories. On the website, go to reports then choose net calories from the drop down. In the app, go to nutrition in the menu, then tap weekly at the bottom.

Next time you're at Red Robin (or similar), eat a couple of french fries. Unless you plan on giving them up for life. Successful weight loss is about learning portion control and moderation, not crossing foods off for life.

A Klondike ice cream sandwich because I wanted both ice cream and chocolate, and I didn't have any chocolate ice cream.

Assuming for just a minute that you're not underestimating your calories and overestimating your burns. You probably are unless you're weighing all solids and wearing a heart monitor during exercise, but let's put that aside for now... You're eating 1200 Burning off 450 Netting 750 This is a bad idea unless you are on a…

I don't understand what you want us to say. Should she eat more? Why? Is she unintentionally losing weight? Does she want to gain weight and/or muscle? Recomp her body? Maybe she should come ask her questions so she can address things more directly.

Fruit and veg have carbs. So "no carb" is not a practical diet plan. Set a reasonable calorie deficit. Eat what you like in reasonable amounts. Try to hit your macros. You do not need to avoid carbs unless you have a specific medical condition. Read through this:…

Weight loss is primarily about calorie deficit. You are trying to lose too aggressively with your stats if you're eating 1200 calories. Healthy, sustainable loss for losing only 13-15 lbs is 0.5lb/week. At your height and age you could be eating more than 1600 calories a day and still lose at a healthy rate. More if you're…

I've lost about 13.5 lbs. In the mirror I see nothing different, but having taken measurements I know I've lost several inches. Also some clothes fit better/are a bit looser, but not to the point where I need new clothes. I have a lot to lose, though. My losing 13 lbs isn't the same as someone much closer to goal weight :)…

If your exercise is above the activity level you set when you created your goals, yes you're supposed to eat those back--at least some of them. If you're using MFP to estimate the calories, people generally suggest eating only 50-75% back as the site overestimates for almost all cardio burns. So eat back about 160 cals.…

My stomach really didn't agree with raw dandelion greens... That's the only veg I avoid, off the top of my head

Depends on the model; some of them are really poorly designed and don't work well. Move something around on the scale, it has a fit. Put something light in the bag, it has a fit. I don't yell at the cashier or anything, but I hate using the kind my local Wal-mart has, whereas I'm happy to use the kind at VG's (another…

Yeah I occasionally regret things when I feel like they didn't taste good enough to justify having so many calories. And as much as I love them, I wish various breads (rolls, buns, biscuits) didn't have so many calories.

Weigh solids like cheese. You can use tablespoons and cups for liquids.

There are 2 issues people using MFP might be addressing: weight - calories primarily and macros secondarily are important here, depending on goals for fat loss, muscle gain, etc. health - this is where exercise and micros become important. you can lose/gain weight without ever thinking about your micronutrients or whether…

Coffee with CoffeeMate Thin Mint creamer Dannon Oikos traditional Greek yogurt, strawberry flavor About 200g of blackberries edit: it was 282 calories and took me quite a while to eat. I'm usually not a big breakfast eater.

You should only do this under medical supervision.

You're being too aggressive with your weekly loss goal. At 128 lb you don't have much to lose even if you are very short (under 5') so you should be going for 1/2 lb loss. It's slower but more sustainable. Read these: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1175494-a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants…

Well you need to get your blood work done first and foremost. I'm not an expert but there are a lot of type 2 diabetics in my family. They've mostly been told to stick to low(er) carb diets; my husband has been asked to stick to a max 30g carb per meal, half that for snacks. They've also been told to combine carbs with…

I don't know, my in-laws are making dinner. I imagine there might be cake.

The only way to be sure is to use a HRM. But walking is one of the areas of cardio that MFP estimates somewhat accurately. Walking at 4mph is a pretty quick pace. And you spend almost an hour and a half doing it. I would say it's not that high of an estimate, but you can just eat back half to be careful.

This. I was over by a hundred last Thursday and Sunday. But I was also under last Wednesday by almost 400 and under on Friday by over 600. I don't feel bad about the days I was over at all.
