The Mountain's Diet...
For your gawking pleasure... 10k calories a day baby! I'm afraid that's the diet I'm tracking here as I enter my birthday/Mother's Day zone. I'll try to get back on track before I start to look like him! LOL http://www.techinsider.io/mountain-game-of-thrones-diet-2016-4

Problems with recipe entries
Anyone else experiencing trouble here? It has worked like a charm for me in the past but today it won't divide the total calories into the number of servings I selected.

It's official: I could really use a maintenance break!
No, it's not a lost-weekend style binge... And no, it's not a sedentary Netflix marathon in jammies... And yes I will still log food & weigh myself everyday, because that's just what I do... I just want a break from deficit eating. I feel kind of burned out. Love my workouts. Love my food log. Love all my healthy habits.…

Ate 52 g fiber yesterday... Things about to get 'interesting'?
I wasn't trying to do this... Just a lot of fiberlicious foods on one day. I looked back thru my diary and the most I ever ate previously was 47 g, and that was on a day where I exceeded my calorie allotment by about 500. I drank a little extra water, for what it's worth. Any experiences with this?

Just do the work & trust the math...
Today is my 170th day of logging. I've lost 23.6 lbs. Everything has been set to a 500 daily calorie deficit the whole time, but my compliance has varied. I've had bad days, and bad weeks. I really like working out but occasionally I miss workouts too. On a daily basis my weight goes up, down & sideways. I've been 178 lbs…

B%#chfest starts here... It's not the holiday calories its the lack of routine!
Okay, because the calories? They are up to me. It's MY mouth and MY hand shoveling (or not shoveling) the food in... But the busyness of the season has just blown this ginormous hole in my healthy routines & I feel like a caged bear. I've missed my long walks and the gym classes I look forward to all week. I miss my own…

Feeling inadequate? Read this & feel better!
Since it is my 100th day on MFP & I've lost just a little shy of 20 lbs very slowly and steadily, I thought I would look back at my food logs. I've eaten a lot of the wonderful good foods people tend to brag a little about: lean proteins, dark leafy greens, fresh fruits, whole grains, etc. But I've also eaten plenty of the…

'What did you give up for your DIET?' And I just smile sweetly & say, 'oh no diet. Just some new hobbies...' Like biochemistry, accounting,…

LOST weight on vacation & enjoyed myself!
It's possible! I just got back from a week in DC where I was hoping to just maintain and I actually lost a pound. 1) I logged. I knew I would be logging bigger amounts of food & drink but that awareness you get from logging remains really helpful. 2) I walked. Walking & vacation are very compatible! You can build some…
