I appreciate all three of your concerns, comments and views. I'm the OP that you each are advocating for and arguing against. I'm seeing a doctor about all of this on Wednesday. I don't know if you all are intending to come across as fighting on this post, but you are. Please stop. My favorite thing about MFP is how…

Thanks for all the advice guys. My only problem is that I'm not hungry, so eating this little doesn't feel like I'm eating a little. Eating a banana can fill be up for the afternoon. Since I'm so busy, I don't have "normal" meal times. Additionally, when I get together with people, it's not at meal times, so I'm not around…

I found this article really helpful http://authoritynutrition.com/how-many-carbs-per-day-to-lose-weight/ If you don't have time to click on it, it said you should eat 100-150 carbs if you want to maintain your weight, 50-100 for moderate weight loss and 20-50 if you want to loose weight quick. Additionally, I found a list…

Since my schedule doesn't really vary, here's what I eat on a normal day: Breakfast: Special K cereal with skim milk (I like the taste of skim milks best) Snacks: freeze dried apples, carrots Lunch: grilled chicken ceaser salad with low fat dressing Snack: caramal rice cake with PB2 peanut butter (it's powdered and has 2.5…

Hey everyone! Thank you all so much for your help. I talked with my PCP about this, and he said that if I'm burning more calories than I'm eating (which, I totally am, since apparently I'm under eating anyways) I should be dropping weight. Not only have I gained weight, but I've been doing this diet/exercise routine now…

I'm 5'4 and 170lbs. For the past 4 weeks I've been jogging for about an hour. Originally, I could barely do a mile. But now I'm jogging just over 3 miles 6 days a week, and my pace is about 11:30/mile. Then, I do sprints/high intensity cardio with a friend going to school to be a personal trainer 3 nights a week for 30…

I talked about this concern with my PCP, and he said that as long as I don't feel hungry, I shouldn't eat. Thoughts?

I probably drink 1.5 gallons of water per day. It varies.

Although the calorie intake may be low, I feel like I'm always eating. I'm always munching on something, usually freeze dried apple chips or something similar. After my runs, I usually have a caramel rice cake, with lowfat peanut butter and a banana, which fills me up really quickly. And then I have dinner within the hour.…

I know I couldn't have gained 5lbs of muscle, I was just shocked that I gained 5lbs! I stepped on and off several times, and even walked around for a bit before getting on again. And, sure enough, the scale stayed the same. I'm still in shock. So do you guys think I'm just retaining water? And well, lots of water?
