if you can't
If you can't fit one piece of pizza into your diet, you're doing it wrong. I like vegetables, and cauliflower, and etc. But it ain't a pizza substitute. Just have the darn pizza!

I didn't give up!
I've been on MFP since April. I was doing great. April and May I had lost 22 lbs. June 2nd I weighed in at 271. Then June 6th I left on a 6 week road trip across the Western United States. I wasn't tracking, ate way too much, did a lot of hiking, but still ate too much and put on 14lbs. I could have felt defeated and given…

Just got a p/t job!
I'm starting on Thursday. It's part time cleaning and dog washing at a local groomer. I won't change anything immediately, but if I'm going 3 times a week for 6+ hours, should I change my activity level from sedentary to lightly active? Or should I wait a few weeks to see if I'm "starving" on days I go to work? I've been a…

Pizza choices WWYD
I'm going out with my book club at a brick oven pizzeria. They don't have their nutrition facts posted, so I won't know exactly. I don't want to get a salad, and I have 900 calories to work with. (exercise and ate hardly anything all day in preparation) They are thin crust, personal size pizzas. In your opinion, do I have…

Would you ever.....
...... talk to another overweight person the way you talk to yourself? I see people call themselves horrible adjectives on here all the time, and can't imagine why they are so mean. Be nice to yourself, especially when joining a site like MFP and taking a giant step in the right direction towards better health.

Coffee???
Lots of you keep saying if you choose a good coffee, you'll eventually enjoy drinking it black. That sounds great (well, with a little sweetener maybe) but WHAT COFFEE???? I'm in Mississippi and regularly shop at a Winn Dixie and Walmart. I have a coffee grinder for beans. And I have a moka pot and regular coffee maker.…

Pushups???
I did a 30 day challenge in April that built from 15 pushups a day to 40. I did this and found definition in my biceps triceps and chest. I was doing "girl" pushups since I'm still obese. But after that was over I started the "easy" pushup challenge that started with 3 a day and builds to 20. I'm TRYING to do regular on my…

How often should I update my goal
I have lost 12 lbs, and I was just messing around with the different tabs in my profile, I came across the goals. It updated with my current weight (starting weight -12) and then adjusted my calories to my new lower weight. Which is great, but I'm wondering if MFP does this automatically, or if not, how often should I do…

What's for dinner tonight?
Minestrone soup from http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ellie-krieger/minestrone-soup-recipe.html 260 calories per serving! If you don't add parmesan, 199 EACH SERVING. I only use 4 cup broth, so there's less sodium and it's more like a stew than soup. My kids like it better as stew! p.s. I cant figure out how to resize…

Something doesn't seem quite right with the calories burned calculation
If I walk 1 mile at 2.5 miles per hour I get 162 calories burned. But if I walk that same mile at 3 MPH the calculator says I only burn 150 calories. WHY on earth would I walk faster then?
