When it comes to dressing I've always over poured but when I look at the serving size and realize how much it has I just settle with that much. You don't actually need to drench your salad in dressing if its too nasty without drenching it, then try changing it up and adding less of the nasty stuff until you're use to it.…

Hello Rebekah! Welcome, its if you don't know all the things about MFP, I've been here since Jan and I don't know everything but I'll gladly try to help you. One of the most important things you need to know is that patience is a virtue. Your results aren't going to always happen overnight and there will be sometimes when…

Hello, I'm 18 and I have depression and anxiety/panic disorder. I started MFP at 162, almost obese but I started changing my lifestyle years before. I log everyday and try my best to be supportive and motivating but I do have those low days. I'm friendly and I also like video games, books, and learning the guitar. I'm not…

When I started MFP that wasn't the start of my healthy lifestyle change and that's what this should be a otherwise its going to be REALLY hard to stick to it. I say definitely start slowly, you can't cut everything out all at once or you won't stick with it. So you can start off by just tracking your calories just to see…

Welcome to MFP! I also have big problem with over-eating but a HUGE help was eating in smaller plates. It really tricks you into thinking you're eating more sine we tend to full our plates and eat all of it. If you still hungry can always go back for seconds. Also, people sometimes think they're hungry when they're…

It could just be gas. Did you eat any gassy foods or just foods that you don't usually eat that might not sit well in your new healthy stomach? Also, sometimes I feel like that if I don't exercise so try an easy cardio workout and maybe that'll help the feeling.

My mother is a bit similar to eggoz's mother, when I was really young my mom didn't criticize my weight a lot since she was a bit too busy to do so, until my teen years, but my other family members were there in her place. My sister, cousins, and sometimes aunt was there to nitpick every part of my body that didn't look…

Hello :D If you don't mind me asking but how did you set your MFP weight loss goal, 2lbs per week, 1lb, etc. That's how your daily calorie rate is formed, the higher you want your weight loss rate, the lower your calorie intake is going to be. In my opinion, I wouldn't eat your BMR or TDEE, they're just an estimate of how…

If you calculate your time at the gym into your exercise diary then you're sedentary. I just sit at home most of the time but I've been trying to work out everyday so I'm set at sedentary but put in my exercise.

Friend request sent! The more friends that come along with you the shorter the journey seems.

I agree with above, this isn't normal. Not too long ago, I tried to do a no-carb diet with excerise, the next day I had light headaches when I moved too fast and had little to no energy. Calories, aren't the only thing you have to worry about, I learned that my body needs carbs to function properly so maybe your body needs…

5'2 and more than ready to lose!

I agree with Dana, different types of foods are essential if you find yourself hunger between meals often. You said you were only eating veggies and fruit, then I suggest eating more protein, like eggs, fish, chicken breast, and nuts also (Be mindful of fat though). Whenever I don't eat enough protein I find my body…

I'm eating less than 1200 but one thing that works is exercising during the time I ate the most. Since I'm home most of the time I would find myself snacking mindlessly so I eat a protein full breakfast, then I eat most of my carbs before exercising in the afternoon, which is when I snack the most, and finish off with a…

But I'm not miserable, I have to admit when I first started I wasn't doing it the right way but now I've got good plan. I full myself with protein so that I won't get hungry and time my meals and snacks accordingly so that I don't find myself binging at night. (Which was a big problem in the beginning) I'm not eating just…

Um, I'm eating less than 1200 but also working out. From what I hear this is a bad choice o-o

Its not the same for everyone, fat is stored in different places. For example, since I stored most of my weight in my upper body (My arms and chest) there were times that I could wear a size 8 bottom at 160, while my mom who was 140 and all her weight being in her butt and stomach couldn't.

Yes! I had them yesterday XD Fried Tuna

Yes I've come to love them Twinkies

No, I hate meat balls (sorry) Fried plantain

I know counting calories can be a drag so before you do that just try using small plates instead of big plates whenever you eat. Trust me when I say it really helps you eat less.

I'm 5'2, 154lbs and my goal is 120-115 but I'm honestly not really stuck with a number. My upper body is where most of my weight is and I assume at 120, my weight will be proportioned in the way I desire and fit into an specific item of mine.
