I love to save some calories to eat later in the day as I hang out at home but I would try to keep that to only an extra few hundred. If I plan to workout I'd eat more calories earlier in the day rather than have 900 calories sit in my belly all night.

Water gun!!! It did wonders at my last apartment. Those damn birds got their own wake up call and I slept so much better after that.

Those sound like the two pounds I'm fighting over. I need my routine back and something to keep me busy when home in the evening. I did great the first few weeks, lost weight now I stopped losing and also lost the will keep fighting. Now the game is on!!

This whole 'cold in Canada' is just going to far. Well, where I am anyways. Any day I can't wear sandals is a bad day. We haven't had a really nice warm day yet, little worried summer might pass me by. It gets hot here, I swear eventually but right now 100 degrees sounds pretty nice. It's one of those places where you can…

We are hear to make a lifestyle change not a quick fix. You need to think about your long term health. Please be careful. Once you try to eat normally again 1200+ you will gain it back, so slow and steady wins the race. Our comments may seem harsh but our words come from our hearts for your benefit.

Well, great medical advice! Visit the community board often to see what is on everyone's mind and ask questions you just don't know who else to talk to about. Welcome.

Don't quit!! We won't let you. It's not really a plateau after one week. Your body is getting used to what you are doing with nutrition and food so you need to spice it up. Try a new exercise/sport or kick up your current workout to a higher level. Try new foods and incorporate more veggies and fruit, don't forget fibre to…

Happy Birthday! You have a great mantra that we can all live by. Enjoy this year and all the rest to come.

The best part about being single is not having to shave your legs all the time. I just got out of a relationship and I can't tell you how much more time I have each day! lol! Actually it seems I don't have much to worry about like some of you since there isn't much there. Did someone say they actually get stuck in the…

Ok I'm very sensitive when it comes to weddings! I'm a wedding planner so here are my professional and personal thoughts. I have had to deal with a lot of family issues on varying levels. The first thing my clients did was hire me! This gives the bride and groom someone to provide suggestions and take actions on matters…

Try doing something else that keeps your hands busy. Something you would enjoy so it doesn't seem like a chore. Maybe a sport, game or a craft and sometimes chores keep you occupied enough that there isn't enough time to over eat.

I'm doing that right now. I'm at the lowest I've been since Gr.10 and really want to break through that number. I'll eat enough, but cut out the low cal treats until I feel I earned them. And working out harder feels good and challenges your body to something new.

I think you should be fine. Some days we go over to and I'm not going to force feed myself at night either. Try to plan your day ahead of time to keep your body fueled, but don't stress about each calorie.

I think it's bad!! Unless your doctor recommends it for a medical reason I see no purpose for it. Your liver, kidney's etc do all the cleansing your body needs. Eat properly and they won't have to work as hard and all will be great. Do not starve your body of nutrients. And it isn't only, 'the less you eat the more you…

I think a heart rate monitor will end up being best because the MFP calculator cannot know your size, how hard you went, up or down hills, or if you just coasted a lot. Same with the other listings. If you type 'elliptical' all it records are your minutes and not that you went hard core or light and easy. If I work hard I…

And don't just do this once cause you messed up. Helping around the house and specials thoughts on random days 'just because', show you apprecaite her all year long.

You made a great first step. There is a lot of great support and ideas on MFP.

EAT BREAKFAST!!!! or don't lose weight and mess up your metabolism!! Just like mom used to say, it's the most important meal of the day. It should also be the largest meal of the day. that way you have all day to burn those calories and use the energy created by it to get through the long work day. Eat breakfast, I don't…

That was my weekend for sure! But I know I will always start over. The weight I"ve lost has made me feel great and I refuse to lose that feeling. All I plan to lose is mor weight, starting now, again!

Ok I'm not the only one! Well it's mother day today and we're taking mom out for lunch so another big meal on the way. I will be prepared this time. Every day is a new day, right!

What are your worst buffet stories or how did you survive? Whoever invented buffets should be punished. How can it ever be a good idea to give someone and empty plate and say "go for it" as many times as you want. I plan events and on the big day of an event there is no time to eat. I bring a few healthy items along but…

There are several snacks in those 100 cal mini packs (Ritz, oreo, shortbread, chocolate rice bites etc) Breyers double churned chocolate icecream bar cheese strings single size creamsicles 100 cal smart pop popcorn gluten free biscotti - health food store

lol! This is the best article I have ever read. I'm going to share it with all my single friends and maybe show it to the people who can't understand why a single life is a happy life. Not one of my coupled friends can say they are truly pleased in their relationship or go 5 minutes without complaining about what he did…

you found it here. The community board is a great place to ask questions and make friends. Keep at it and you will feel, stronger and smarter for taking this first step.

If you go to a Chirco they will brobaly need x-rays to see if there is a problem. I don't let anyone touch my next but they have done wonders on my lower back which gives out occasionally. Rest for sure, warm conpression 20 mins on, 20 mins off for an hour. You're going to want to do more core strengthening exercises.…

ah you guys are killing me! I'm so hungry and so close to dinner but now it seems so far away. My fav foods that I haven't touched in forever are: Nutella, I could eat it by the spoonful nevermind putting it on toast Froot Loops Anything pasta OMG how could I forget CHEESE. The curds from St. Albert's ON are amazing, we…

When someone tells me I can't do something that makes me want to do it even more. Of course I did end up skydiving and going to Europe alone, but I did it and loved it. Height you can't do a lot about but your weight and positive attitude are all you! Prove them wrong!!!!!!!

It's a great site. There are no tricks or gimmicks just honest journaling and good friendly support. Keep with it and make a lifestyle change to keep you healthy for life not just to lose right now.

A boyfriend from college said he would dump me if I gained 5 more pounds. Friends asking to borrow my clothes in their 4-5 months of pregnancy because theirs are just too tight but don't want to buy maternity yet. Seriously, I'm a normal heathly weight.

You can't go back and fix something already done but you planned to start over so you're ahead of the game. Isn't it funny how the foods we used to eat make you feel ill now. You know what's important and a splurge may be just what you needed to remind you of that. Keep it up.
