Inches lost - weight going up?
I know it's probably muscle - but I was shocked to have done my weigh in and be 7 pounds heavier than I was a month ago. I've lost roughly an inch and a half in various places over my body, so I'm just curious as to when the scale will start showing results as well?

Anyone else shocked?
I'm about to hit a month long streak of logging, and I've truly benefited so much from being active in the community here. I've learned so much from all of you and owe a lot of my success to the insight and support! A few times this past week as I've been logging in my food, I've reflected on past eating habits and I…

Losing weight. But no difference in looks
I've lost 7 1/2 pounds in the last 21 days. Which is great and every time I step on the scale I am so proud of myself for making it this far. But I'm not seeing this weight loss reflect in my overall appearance. I've taken pictures and I'm still not seeing any difference. I plan on going to get a measuring tape and taking…

What do you do from snacking over your calories?
After dinner when my husband and I are watching tv is when I start the "I'm bored munchies" I'm not hungry but I just want to eat. So the past few weeks that I've gotten serious about making a healthier lifestyle I've found little cheats that have kept me from this terrible habit. Brushing my teeth right after dinner…

Looking for friends/support

I work in a bakery...I'm married with no kids. Trying to quit self medicating with food. I like being actively involved with…

Hospitalized
So I have been hospitalized and put on a water only diet for right now because of some intestinal problems. So I haven't been eating my calories, I've gone 2 days without eating more than 300'ish calories. Is this really going to screw up my weight loss? Is my body going to go into starvation mode

Swimming? Good alternative?
I've been trying to find an alternative to running. Although I love running it puts a lot of stress on my back and my chest (I'm well endowed and no sports bra has helped) Is swimming laps a good alternative to jogging? Are there good alternatives to running?

How many calories to eat?
So when I signed up on MFP it gave me a goal of 1200 calories to eat. Shortly after I had a fitness work up with a personal trainer who told me I wasn't losing weight because 1200 calories a day was starving myself and suggested I start eating 1600....now I'm scared I'm over eating! I'm 5'3, trying to put in 30-40 minutes…

Do I need to be eating my exact calorie goal?
if at the end of the day I'm not eating 300'ish calories (not including the ones I burned working out) is that bad? What's a safe number to not eat if your goal is 1600 a day?
