So challenging
Huge whine-fest. Venting. Sorry. I lost about 25lbs a few years ago using mfp. I got sick and went down to 100lbs last year and in my rush to put some weight back on, went overboard. I’ve been trying to lose around 5-7lbs ever since to no avail. I’m a small person. Mfp has me at 1200 calories a day, which may not be low…

Suggestions for exercise?
I'm at a loss as over the years I stopped enjoying the forms of exercise I once loved. It's probably a combination of age, ego and weight gain that soured me. I weight-lifted quite seriously for years and really loved everything about it, ditto with yoga and dance. I tend to like to push myself really hard and the feeling…

Lost 13lbs since January but no one notices!
Not one person has noticed that I've lost weight - I'm down from 140 to 127 and I'm 5'3 1/2" tall. I've gone down in clothes sizes - I'm working out so I've toned a little - maybe not a whole lot. But what gives? In the past when I've lost 5 lbs people comment. Now nothing - not my boyfriend, my best girl friends, no one!…

Lost weight but feel huge today!
Sound familiar to anyone: You inexplicably feel like your old, heavier weight? This has happened to me a few times since I've been losing - I just have a day where I look in the mirror and I swear I see my old 140lb body and I feel my old 140lb body. Even though I'm careful to save up calories for junk food indulgences, it…

Quick, non-dairy protein fixes?
I've been relying on dairy for a lot of my protein when I can't cook - cottage cheese, whey protein, cheese, etc. I'm not a big fan and it makes me break out - any ideas on things you don't have to cook? Anyone tried any of the non-dairy protein powders and found them to be palatable? I don't love protein powders either…

Cauliflower recipes anyone?
I love cauliflower - usually I roast it with way too much olive oil and it's beyond delicious - I can eat a whole head in one sitting. Hoping to find something with less fat that is tasty. Thank you!

Customizing Protein and Fat or other variables?
I've been lurking and reading and it seems like some people are perhaps customizing the diet plans. Is this right? If so, I'm wondering why. It seems like it's around fat and protein. I ask because I'm dubious that the current calorie count they have me on will actually result in weight loss - it seems like a lot of…

I'm starving - what do people eat for snacks?
Hi All, I've been fighting to lose those few extra pounds for years and what always gets me is plain old hunger. Raw veggies don't stop the hunger pains. Dairy makes me break out like crazy even at my old age (52) and a piece of fruit is unsatisfying if my stomach is really growling. I end up grabbing nuts - which I know…
