  • I've done all the challenges so far, I've stayed below my calories every day, and I've drunk all my water. I can make Sunday my weigh-in day, but... I'm still fairly new to MFP and it gives me such a little surge of inspiration every time I get to check in with a lower weight that I just can't bear not to enter it for a…

  • I find it harder to lose weight on birth control, too, but I pretty much just had to come to terms with the fact that I have to eat a bit less and exercise a bit more to get past it. No magic solution for it, I'm afraid. :(

  • In my experience, Pilates seems to be a better choice if you have a lot of weight to lose. Sometimes the yoga can be hard on my joints because of the weird positions you have to hold, and it's prevented me doing much with it. However, Pilates seems to work the muscles mainly, and I've never had any trouble doing it. Very…

  • I'm Kellie... I'm 34, I live in Indiana, and I'm a technical writer (i.e. sedentary job!). My husband and I don't have any kids yet, but I'm VERY tired of having more fat on me than someone who's had 5 kids! I decided to join MFP last week when my piano teacher told me that she had just joined and loved it, and I've been…

  • This is my first year having a garden, too, and we just made stir fry the other night with the first harvest from it. So fun and way more delicious than something from McDonalds!!!!!! Another nice thing is it burns a lot of calories just keeping up with the weeding. :) Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Nutrition Facts For Foods

  • Oh, that has to be so frustrating. :( I agree with what someone posted earlier... if you're using your phone to log calories right at the table, that can be perceived as rude. (Sometimes I can get away with doing this, sometimes I get the look from my husband and then I just put my phone away and do it later.) Other than…

  • I hear you about the BeachBody coaches... when I ordered the Slim-in-Six program, they just assigned me to somebody, even though I didn't want a coach, and this guy has been e-mailing me nonstop trying to pimp the Shakeology and a bunch of other stuff. He was even trying to sell "healthy cupcakes" that his girlfriend…

  • Well... these people may have said stuff in the worst possible way and that is ALWAYS hurtful when it happens, but maybe use your anger/hurt and turn it into determination to make yourself the best you can be. You CAN do something about it (in fact, you're the only one who can do something about it), so use this web site…

  • Don't give up! Even if you never lost a single pound from all this, at least you're not gaining. And even if you gain, at least you're not gaining as much as you would be if you just sat around all day and did no exercise at all. Getting ANY kind of physical activity, whether you see big advances on the scale, is doing you…

  • I like the advice someone gave about slowing down when you eat. It REALLY makes a difference. Another good suggestion I heard is try not to do other stuff while you're eating. Since you're going to be allowed fewer calories per day when you're trying to lose weight, better just enjoy the ones you have! Why waste them all…
