Hi All, *unfortunately, this is not a post about eating Zombies, please continue with your regularly scheduled post/program* :p When my insomnia kicks in and I am sleepy and tired the next day I find myself "Zombie" eating just to stay awake. Once I finally get myself together enough to shake off being sleepy and realize…

10K steps a day?
I'm trying to get suggestions on how I can get to 10K steps "inside". I'm still pretty new here - 7 weeks I think - and I have only hit 10K steps once. I was able to do it by walking some at work and then walking after I got home from work. Well, it's supposed to be storming today and it's already wet and raining outside.…

Excited and just can't stop thinking about it.
Hi y'all. I've been on MFP for about 6 weeks now. I work in an office all day and most of the time I'm semi-restricted to my desk because I have to be available to catch service calls (HVAC repair), so I don't get a lot of walking in during the day. Most evenings I'm just so happy to get home and out of Atlanta traffic…

Special K Vanilla Almond VS Captain Crunch - Crunch Berries
My go-to breakfast for the past month or so has been Special K Vanilla Almond. I love that stuff. Not because it's supposedly a "diet" cereal, I just genuinely love it. Well, I went into Publix this morning to get another box of Special K and they were out!!! So, since I had been craving Captain Crunch - Crunch Berries, I…

Ladies, how do you get through it? (hope it's not TMI)
I am totally trying not to lose it today. PMS, cramps & cravings. How do you get through it? I want to eat everything, and then I want nothing. I'm sitting at my desk now trying to figure out what I can snack on. I'm trying to resist, but the cravings are strong. I'm even sitting here trying to figure out what to have for…

Pre-Diabetic, Scared and Tired of Being "Chubby" - Need Additional Motivation
Hi Everyone. I swear this will be like my 5th time on a site like this and really trying to lose weight. The last time I lost weight I lost about 80 pounds in a year. It wasn't because of diet and exercise, but the stress of a failing marriage. I looked great, but was so sick I could hardly eat. Once I decided to take…

Personal Calorie Deficit - How Is It Determined
I know when we set up our profiles, we enter our height, weight, desired weight, etc. So for example, if someone wanted/needed to lose say, 150 pounds and MFP says they should eat no more than 1900 cals and they've lost 97 of the 150 pounds, does MFP automatically update their cals or would 1900 be their goal for forever?…

Any Diabetics or Pre-Diabetics on Metformin?
I was started on metformin in September 2014 for my pre-diabetic condition. I'm wondering if any of you who are currently on or have been on metformin would share some of your experiences.

SUPERBOWL - How Will You Get Through It?
Hi everyone. I was listening to the radio and they were saying that for new dieters that started for the New Year, the Superbowl is the biggest challenge they have. They said that during the Superbowl alone, the average person consumes more than 2100 calories! My family is big into the Superbowl and having the pizza,…

Wanting "bland" Foods/Tastes Changing
Hi everyone. Since starting on this journey to eat better I have noticed my taste preferences changing. Some days I really want nothing to eat because the tastes, spices, etc just seem to be overwhelming. The down-side of that, is if I'm craving something "bland", that usually means no taste - which are mostly carbs and I…

For those that have lost 80+ pounds.....
For those that have lost 80+ pounds in your journey, how have you dealt with extra/sagging skin? Or did your skin maintain its elasticity and you didn't have that to worry about that? I'm hoping to lose at least 80 pounds, and I love the beach, so of course that means bathing suits. I know that everyone is not the same,…
