You look fabulous!!

"Fitness" means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. There are people who need to lose 100+ pounds. There are some that are struggling with the last 10; there are vegans, vegetarians, meat eaters; people who want to gain or bulk up; there are exercise fanatics and people that only count…

I am 5'4" and 205lbs. I did my first session today with my HRM. I used 3lb hand weights. It said I burned 220 calories.

Don't sweat the calculations today. You were sick, so take it easy. Your body was telling you something. If you are hungry eat some more, if you're not, don't. Going under on your calories on a day when you've been sick can't be good for you. Just log the rest of the day but worry too much if you're morning got screwed up…

You look fantastic! Congratulations!

In the US a cup is a standard unit of measure. When you purchase a 1 cup measuring cup no matter what shape or style, it will hold 1 standard US cup. If standard 1 cup measurements were different we would not be able to have recipes...nothing would turn out for anyone. I think some people here are not understanding the…

29g is equal to 110 calories. The cup measurement on the box is their estimate. That is because one person could lightly scoop something into a cup with lots of air, and another person could pack it dense and have much more. But 29 grams always is, and can only ever be, 29 grams.

Overall fat loss is the only way as you cannot spot reduce.

Definitely a ponytail and a soft wide headband. The headband keeps the whispies off my face and it also keeps the sweat out of my eyes. They are washable so they don't get all yucky.

Sorry! I knew I gave you the wrong info just moments after I posted...but silly MFP won't let you delete posts. Grr. Glad other people posted to help you out :)

Go to the "MY HOME" tab, then go to "GOALS" you should be able to reset your weight from there.

The best thing is to get a heart rate monitor that will tell you. Otherwise I would log each part separately. For instance, if you walked at 3mph for 5 minutes log that. If your total running was 7.5 minutes log that....I don't have an hrm but I do have a treadmill that tracks approximate calories burned, so I go by that.…

I'm with everyone else. I would maintain. Dresses and alterations are expensive, not to mention an added stress that you don't need on your wedding day. Just keep your motivation for after and resume your hard work. Congratulations on your marriage!

I would have said "My lifestyle is none of your business...and my money won't be yours either as you have terrible customer service". Enjoy your honey and search for vegan pizzas elsewhere :)

The mobile apps are actually what drew me here in the first place. I need something I can take with me...I can't be stuck to the computer all day. And forget writing it on paper, I'd lose that with my busy life. I just love being able to plug it into my smartphone, and able to check the news feed of my friends. It is quite…

On a different site I saw lamb sausage for 250 calories. It's hard to tell because it is not terrible common. I would over estimate so you err on the side of caution.

The number comes from what you select when you sign up. What your original lifestyle is, how much you'd like to lose a week, and how active you plan on being. If you want to lose more you should change your settings.

Yes, one complete fresco taco (tortilla, meat, tomatoes, and onions) is 150 calories.

Yeah, I would do what Skinny said. I would put it into the recipe tool and then split the servings to get your best estimate. That way you'll really have a good idea of its true nutritional effect.

I'm pretty much the same as everyone here. I delete people when I notice that their level of commitment has dropped and they stop logging in. I need support daily and that is what I believe my friends are for. If they aren't there for support then I don't need them.

I like to surf the Success Stories section of the message boards. Five minutes of seeing peoples success pictures and the cravings usually pass.

I, too, do not log those sorts of things because I do them everyday and they are built into what "Lifestyle" I chose when I signed up. I find if you add to many of those little things that you'd be doing anyway you end up eating too many of your calories back and then you go over without realizing it. But definitely thank…

That's definitely not too much to be water weight. I went up 4 pounds the week before my period and then the week of my period I dropped it. I haven't been able to pin down a pattern or a certain amount. I just know not to get too upset when I see a gain before/during my period, because more often than not, it goes away…

No way! Please stay. MFP is great for all different fitness goals. Congratulations on your loss and good luck on toning up! Your success is motivation for people like me who are just starting out :)

My Fitness Pal is a calorie counter and fitness community...not a weight loss website, per se. There are people that need to lose, and there are those that need to gain such as body builders, wrestlers, and those you have anorexia or bulimia, to name a few. It is frustrating for you to read that, but their struggle is very…

Yesterday was my weigh in and I also gained 4 lbs. I was very upset, but I had also made some poor choices in the previous week. I went to a funeral of a close family member and ate at the luncheon afterward, I went to a music festival and ate too much, and I started my TOM. I didn't get in much exercise either....and this…

Besides just forcing yourself to sit down and eat meals, the only thing you can really do is try to plan your randomness. That sounds weird, but it can be done. When you buy something split it up into individual containers or baggies. If you have a calculator it will only take a few minutes to figure out the correct…

You look wonderful! Such an inspiration!
