I am also recently returning to MFP. My husband and I were pretty successful using it a few years ago, but then his aunt became terminally ill and we stopped tracking calories/work outs while we were hosting family who while waiting on her to pass (she was expected to pass within 24 hours, but held on for 2 weeks- we ate…

WOOT! Congrats on that. That was the hardest thing for my husband as his family drinks a lot of pop on a daily basis. Now we don't even keep pop around the house and only get it on special occasions. For me, coffee and tea are my caffeine fixes. I don't think I could give up my coffee altogether, but I do try to drink less.

Click on the "my home" tab, under that in the blue bar should be a tab that says "Goals".

Hmm. I really don't know! I generally don't worry about each subsection myself and just look at the overall calories. But I do know what you are talking about and have noticed that trend myself. I am just restarting MFP as I had good success with it last year, but again I try to just focus on the overall calories and keep…

If you don't supply your body with enough calories then you basically trick your body into thinking that you're starving and it will hold onto every bit of fat you take in. I am only 5'2 and I am find it hard to limit myself to the 1200 calories I should be eating (and the minimum they tell anyone to eat) , so if you are…

I like to drink my coffee w/unsweet almond milk and a splash of real vanilla. I know use almond milk in all of my baking to significantly decrease the calorie ammount w/o loosing flavor at 35 cal/cup, and I STILL get all the great calcium :D Wouldn't really eat it on my cereal, but it's great for baking, cream sauces, and…

I agree with tappytaptap. If you're full, don't eat. It's not like the food you ate today was the energy used for that exercise anyway. It takes time to break down the food you ate into calories, you know? You're really more likely burning the calories from yesterday or a few days ago anyhow. It's the whole basis of…

We all have certain foods that we crave specifically. The only reason I have had success this time dieting is that by using my fitness pal, I can calculate the number of calories eaten and use the overall calorie goal as my maintenance tool, therefore not completely eliminating something from my diet. The important key…

Wow, I'm surprised at the large response the post got. Thanks for all the responses! Glad to see I wasn't the only one out there wondering about these. Good points all around. :)

Hooray! Love it. :)

YAY BRAINSTORMING!!! Finding ways to give yourself some time is going to be a bit hard given the full time mom/full time working status. I'm going to throw some ideas out there, some might be good, some not but hey, that's brainstorming. 1) Look into your community resources. Are there any mommy's day out things at…

I agree w/Elizabeth C34! Think about all the extra energy you guys will have for your special alone time! My husband's always been a bit large, but when we started dating I was super skinny, 5'2, 98 lbs. He's not had issues with my weight or attractiveness at any weight, when we got married I was 165 and a sz 14. My goal…

I had similar issues when my birth control was changed a few years ago. I was taken off my tri-cyclic pill (different amounts of hormones each week, which mimics the body's natural cycle) and placed on the monocyclic pill (same amount of hormone all month). I ballooned over the course of 2 years from weighing about 120 lbs…

The Cadbury mini-eggs are my husband's favorite. He has stocked up on them each year since we started dating in college 8 years ago. I'm honestly much more of a salty snack type person. I think I'll try doing what we've done with our other snacks and divvy out single serving portions into tiny ziplock bags so he can take…
