Amazing !
You all are above my “league”, but I’m inspired and motivated to get a Real practice going. Meanwhile, I really like the 10% happer app & podcast. The subscription is not cheap, but I listen to at least an informative talk every day. Lots of free guided meditations, etc even if you don’t join ! (No, not an ad, sorry). I…

I'm HUNGRY!
I am hungry all the time of late, especially the last 2 days and I don't know why! I haven't changed anything- or not much if so. Does anyone have a clue as to why? It's extreme, uncomfortable and annoying! I'm not doing any kind of fasting, or athlete- level exercise. MFP has set my daily calorie goal at 1420, and I…

Eating, eating & more eating!
In the past, I've had great willpower/ motivation/ determination / Sense about eating healthy. I once restricted myself to 1,000 calories a day successfully!!! Not that that is a good idea. Now I'm over a couple hundred(?) Every Day- even with 'credit' for exercise! A few months ago I could stay on track- even with…

Can't stop eating!
I'm having motivation issues of late- but only late evenings! Whyyy?

Setbacks
Way to go on the loss! I'm at a standstill too....but I've come a long way (sort of). Baby steps!!

Calories & exercise
What do you think about "eating back" your calories burned exercising? I don't believe in it- calorie burn stats Have to be inaccurate, or general guess at best. I have been doing it of late, though- I get hungry! I don't thiiiink I'm working out super hard, though- weights + some cardio. Though I really want to be…

Pigging out!
I don't get it- why am I eating so much? I usually have great motivation/ restraint/ willpower, but lately I've been eating too-large portions, and succumbing to my sweet tooth much more! I've lost 42 lbs over the past year (Yay!), feeling really good about that. So why in the hell am I behaving as if I want to blow it??…

Old lady arms
So, I'm a 47 y.o. woman, been doing strength training off and on for many years. I'm getting back into it, but even in my most "buff" (relatively speaking) times, I've never had toned triceps!! At the moment I need to gain much more lean muscle all over ( and lose at least 10lbs), but the whole upper arm area is…

Plateaus suck
i had been averaging about 1 lb down a week. Nothing spectacular, but it worked for me, but now I'm at a standstill. I stayed at the same weight (well, even up a tad once) for a MONTH!! My diet and exercise have stayed the same or better... I think. Grrr! Now it's coming off again, but in tiny increments. Yes, I logged a…

Restaurants
Hi all! I've whined about the restaurant dilemma here before, but...Today my biggest problem was underestimating the calories (fat, cholesterol, etc ) in restaurant food! I tryyyy to eat light, but it snowballs quickly, I guess. I swear I just had a small grilled cheese sandwich and a cup of veggie soup, but I am SO full 2…

Sweets !!
I just had lunch ( therefore Not hungry), buuuut I just ate 4 small cookies. Grrrr. The big problem is, they're sitting just a few feet away from me, Want More! They're not even that great! Not at home or I'd pitch them, hide them or something.

Restaurant Panic!
Does anyone else get stressed, uncomfortable, when someone suggests dining out? Yikes. Luckily, MFP has an incredible database that includes lots of restaurant entree stats. Still, sometimes there is vastly conflicting info, or my dining place isn't listed. I can estimate using similar entries, compiling the main…

Minor setback
Ok, I know it may sound silly, but I'm a little sad, discouraged and frustrated. I've been losing 1-2 lbs every week, but last week I was UP 1 lb!!! I hesitantly got on the scale this morning, only to discover that the pesky extra pound is still there! I was hoping it would be gone + 1 or 2 more! I've gained before, but it…

Exercise and calories
SO, I finally figured out how to add exercises to my diary- I thought. However, it still doesn't show calories burned! Why ???? I had to add most of the exercises (strength training). I can only find the page when I log on to my PC! Not the phone app! Grrrr. Ideas ? Thanks!
-
Argh!
Apparently you can't log exercise from an iPhone! Or I can't figure it out...When I log on on my desktop, I get a whole new MFP world! But that's too much trouble...Still I want "credit" for the snow shoveling I just did! Harder than it looks!

I don't know how to log exercise!
Ok, although I've been here for months, I'm just now discovering all the options and tools. I've heard that you can use this site to calculate calories burned for various types of exercise, but I have no clue how to do it!!! Help!

Cheat meals
Cheat days do seem counter-productive (I don't do it now). I used to Live for "cheat day"! But after pigging out I felt like crap the next day! Physically- still full, draggy, blah...A trainer told me to cut it down to 1 cheat "meal" per week. Much better idea. I still got to indulge in a big devilish desert or pizza,…

Hi
Hi all! I've been on this site for a while, but I've only been using it to log my meals. Now I'm just discovering all the resources here! I don't have any "friends"! Anyone else having a hard time giving up sweets? Yikes!
