One thing I've learned from a nutritionist is that the label is deceiving. Yes, it is only 100 calories... but 100 calories of WHAT? Sugars, fats, carbs... We need to make sure that we are balancing those as well as calories. You can eat 1200 a day of pure sugar but not lose any weight b/c of the content not the quantity.…

I was a "diet cokeaholic" for YEARS. I thought that it was doing nothing to harm my diet because I worked out so much and ate fairly decent. I never thought I'd be able to give it up, and today is day 4 without diet coke. I cannot tell you how much of a difference it has made. I feel more intergetic, less bloated, and the…

Yes, PLEASE! I just bought a new crockpot last night! :smile: prettynpink526@aol.com THANK YOU!!

I have always been EXTREMELY impatient with everything in my life, including weight loss. I have tried to lose "just a few pounds" before and I give up way too quickly. I started MFP in late January and felt like this was going to be another one of those times when I give up. My boyfriend kept telling me, "This is what you…

Hi! I have been set at 1200 calories per day with MFP, but my BMI is set at 1340. I workout (very intensely) 6 days a week. This past week , I think I worked out too hard because I was dizzy and light headed after a workout and my muscles were shakey. So, I'm taking today COMPLETELY off from exercising. Do you think this…

MPF has me set at 1200 cals a day but my BMR is 1400. I really wish they took weight and height into account....:grumble:

I am trying to lose weight for a Florida trip! (We all want to look bikini perfect, right?!) haha! :glasses: I guess I am trying to lose the fat I have. Maybe I should check into my Fat Body Percentage? Does anyone know how to do this or where I could get it done?

I am currently 22 years old and weigh 135 pounds. Granted, my weight fluctuates during the day due to water retention and so forth, but overall, I have been the same weight for a while now. I joined because I want to lose some weight for a trip (or moreso, tone up). I have been working out for YEARS: am an avid runner,…

Way to Go!!! Congrats!:smile: I ended up staying within my alloted calories, too! I convinced my boyfriend to get Subway sandwiches instead of ordering a pizza and we enjoyed it just as much!!!!

I am going to my boyfriend's and he is inviting some of his buddies and their g/f's with them. He was thinking about ordering a pizza and I suggested we opt for Subway subs and baked chips. I am going to feel strong, satisfied, and happy with myself for staying on track! :bigsmile:

You could always get the Swiss Miss Diet Hot Chocolate. One package is only 25 calories (when mixed with water) and it always craves my urge for chocolate milk. Hope this helps!

I would LOVE to! I just started my first semester of teaching (I took a temporary position for 2nd semester) and it has been SO hard to stay on track! COUNT ME IN!!!:happy:

My boyfriend's dad is a sheriff and every year for the Girl Scout's Cookie Kick-off, he participates in a Girl Scout Cookie eating contest. HAHA! I would gain 20 pounds just LOOKING at all those cookies, let alone eating them!:laugh:

I am ADDICTED lately to instant maple and brown sugar oatmeal with a tablespoon of PB mixed in and calorie-free maple syrup! YUMMMM!!!:bigsmile:

I had a grandmother who died of congestive heart failure because she used to take so many diet pills as a young woman... she died at a YOUNG 67 years old. Congratulations, but make sure you aren't getting addicted because they can cause problems!

The seafood stuffed flounder with wild pilaf rice and a side salad! SOOOO GOOD!~

My goal is 10 lbs by a Florida trip in June with my boyfriend and his whole family. :)

Has anyone tried this video?! I have been an avid runner for the past 2 years and workout everyday and this workout kicks my butt! =) It's wonderful! If you have not tried it, I suggest you do so! Question: How do I record this on my exercise log? I know there is yoga but not cardio-yoga available. I want to know how many…

I drink a cup of coffee whenever I get the urge to eat. I feel like it controls my hunger and NO calories!!!:smile:

I'm addicted to the Pure Protein Chocolate Deluxe Bars! They are only 180 calories and have 20 grams of protein!!!!

I usually STRAY from the free chips (which is the hardest thing in the world to do!) :tongue: But then I order a grilled chicken salad: grilled chicken, lettuce, onions, peppers, and a light dressing. This is really low in calories and VERY filling! Good luck!:smile:

Hello all. I have been on here just to count calories for a couple of months. I will fill everyone in on myself. I'm 5'6, 140 lbs, female. I was a prominent athlete in high school: soccer, track, showchoir, etc. I NEVER thought about my weight and ate whatever I wanted to. When I got to college, weight never entered my…
