Mac and cheese nutritional fact inaccuracy
Found my first big inaccuracy in weighing vs measuring cups--from the Mac and cheese box nutritional facts. Says serving size: 2.5 ounces or one cup. Put it in my measuring cup and weighed it on my food scale. 2.5 ounces was more like half a cup! That's so terrifying how inaccurate that was. If I ate a whole cup I would've…

Expectations vs reality for weight loss
How is\was your weight loss journey compared to how you thought it was going to be? Easier? Harder? For me, it's been easier than I expected. I put off losing weight because I thought it would require me to exercise hours every day and eat cellery for dinner. I was surprised by how much I can actually eat and still…

Social life since starting diet
Anyone else feel like they don't have much of a social life now that they're trying to lose weight? All my friends want to do is go out to eat or for drinks. I always have to say no. I know there are healthier options at restaurants but I just don't like someone else preparing my food while I'm trying to lose weight. I'm…

Frustration when trying to help other dieters
Do you get frustrated with other dieters who are just looking for the easiest route to weight loss? I've lost 12 pounds since I started using mfp 6 weeks ago and I've had people ask me what my secret is. I tell them, eat healthy, eat at a deficit and try to work out some. It's that simple. No one wants that answer. They…

Day after cheat day question
So yesterday I cheated a bit on my diet. It was my sons birthday so indulged in some cake and ice cream. Today should I maybe eat less than my goal of 1200 calories because of most likely going over yesterday? Or should I still be eating the 1200?

Only monitor calories for weight loss?
Do you think that in order to successfully and consistently lose weight you only need to watch your calories? Or do you think that it is important to watch your fat, carb, sugar, and sodium intake as well?

Is fruit important for a healthy diet?
I'm trying to lose weight and I'm mostly just eating fruit, vegetables, chicken, and fish. However even just eating 1 cup of grapes I'm almost at my max sugar intake for the day. Is fruit even necessary? It just seems to add on a lot of sugar and carbs. Would I get better results in my diet without eating it?

Weight gain normal while dieting?
I started dieting about a month and a half ago. Lost 8 pounds. Weighed myself today and I had gained back 3. I'm 5'4, started at 175, went down to 167, and am now back up to 170. I haven't changed anything in my diet or exercise routine. Is it normal for this to happen?

Waist training
I know a couple girls doing it and swear by it. One girl insists she went from a 43 inch waist to 31 inches. But I thought it was impossible to spot reduce fat. Thoughts?
