Food Truck Food
Thursday is food truck night at our community. Our family is attending and I need to make the best choice off this menu. And how the heck do I calculate the calories for this? HELP! What's my best option?

Hurricane Irma
Anyone worried about the track Irma may be taking? I know we are like a week away from really knowing what it will do, but living in Florida and seeing what Harvey did to TX, I'm scared.

Culver's
So I had a bacon cheeseburger and onion rings from Culver's for dinner tonight. It fit within my calories for the day but it was a big splurge. It tasted Sooooo good. But now it's sitting like a brick in my stomach I want to puke! I'm sort of regretting eating it but at the same time I'm glad I did because now I know it's…

About 1 month in ...
I'm creeping up on one month of counting calories and trying to get in more exercise. I'm a serial "starter" and this is usually about the time I give up. I've seen some progress but the ultimate goal is so far away it seems impossible to achieve. The past few days I've found myself snacking a little more and more. Falling…

When do you re-calculate your calories?
When I started MFP, I was 207 (actual highest recorded weight was 201) and I think I'm allowed somewhere around 1,650 calories with a sedentary lifestyle. (I'm 5'1" for reference). I've lost a few lbs and I'm down to 199.2 today. At what point should I consider re-calculating my calorie allowance? I know the lower my…

Thoughts on logging "exercise"
I've seen some people logging things such as vacuuming, doing laundry, making the bed, etc as "exercise" and I don't see the point. I mean I do all those things too. Always have. But I still got fat doing them so I don't think they should count as exercise calories. What do you think?

Breakfast
How important (really) is breakfast? I am soooo not hungry in the morning and eating before 10 am makes me feel like I want to barf. I have 1 cup of coffee when I wake up, then water until I feel hungry enough to eat something. I hear so much about how breakfast is the most important meal of the day ... eat within an hour…

My morning thoughts 8/17
Morning weigh in: 202.8 Yesssss! Super happy about this. Even went out to dinner last night and stayed within calories. Splurged on onion rings. Yum. I did 40 minutes of exercise on my Xbox kinect. Not the best workout but happy to get something in for the day since I was home with my little one who had a fever. Today's…

Cycling Training Plan
I'm really new to road cycling - been getting out about 3-4 days a week for 2 weeks. Only going about 5 - 7 miles with an average pace of 10 - 11 mph. I have set my sights on an event that will require me to ride 30 miles. It's a breast cancer fundraising event - my best friend is a breast cancer survivor and was recently…

Pizza!
I know there was a thread in another forum about healthy pizza alternatives - but how bad is the real thing? I looked it up in the food database and a generic slice of pizza is around 200 - 300 calories. I looooove pizza. As long as I plan for it, it's not that bad- right?

Dealing with Gains
Hi everyone, I've been trying to lose weight on and off for the past 3 years. I'm finally committed to really doing this thing. Anyway, I have been measuring, weighing, tracking every morsel that goes in my mouth since Monday as well as staying within my 1,360 calorie goal. I'm also a daily weigh-er which I know many frown…
