Less To Lose - Stupid Scale Refuses To Play Nice
I just gotta vent: Has anyone else out there experienced almost no weight loss, no matter how little/much they eat? Admittedly, I have less to lose (about ten pounds), but I've tried eating my exercise calories, NOT eating my exercise calories, eating -200 calories than my daily allotment, going over, under, around and…

Just a little NSV
This weekend was my favorite cousin's wedding. IT WAS FABULOUS. I was hoping to reach a Scale Victory by Saturday, of -7 lbs since starting MFP, but my body was stubborn and didn't want to cooperate (in fact, all the cocktails I had at the reception made me gain a couple of pounds, but hey, it's my favorite cousin and he's…

Not what I planned...
I had planned on giving myself a free pass today to rest, eat and drink whatever I felt like, but my body has different plans! Turns out I'm battling food poisoning so I'm getting that day off, all right... Just not the way I expected. :P I could use some suggestions on making sure I get enough nutrients right now while my…

Talk some sense into me...
Though I started MFP on 8/7, I "officially" began my fitness/diet/dammit-I'm-Losing-This-Weight program on 8/1. I have, according to my logs, lost 5 lbs. I keep telling myself that that is a totally normal and healthy rate of loss, because hey, it's only been a month! Five pounds in 1 month is pretty good! The problem is…

Envoked my "free pass" last night...
I ate two giant slices of the greasiest pizza ever last night, and drank half a bottle of wine with my friend (someone she was close to passed away suddenly yesterday and I was trying to console her) and my body HATES me right now. I feel so gross. And of course all the sodium and crap in the pizza made me bloat up a…

Apples - does anyone else experience this?
You know how everyone always says apples are a great snack to help tide you over between meals? Well, every time I eat an apple, I am suddenly RAVENOUSLY hungry within a few minutes of finishing it. Even if I was not really that hungry to begin with, or if it's a part of my meal... I will suddenly have this gnawing hunger…

Finding it hard to eat all my calories
I'm only marginally in the high end of my weight range, and I'm short (barely 5'), and as such, I have to lose only about 12lbs to make it back into my safety zone. But, I'm having difficulty eating all of my daily calories, without, you know, hitting In-N-Out to make up for the difference. I find that the healthier I eat,…

Jump Rope - SO AWESOME!
Hi all, A few weeks ago when I was out for a walk, I saw a woman jumping rope and I was like, "Hey, I forgot about that exercise!" I used to skip rope CONSTANTLY as a kid, but for some reason, my adult brain never even thought of it as a possibility for adult exercise until I saw that woman doing it. So, I went to Target…

Eating with foodies tonight... HELP!
Hi everyone, I just joined MFP this week after tracking (and getting basically nowhere) with another online program. I'm hoping for the best now! Anyway, I have a question about making healthy food choices while eating out with friends who are more taste-conscious than health-conscious... How do I do it? LOL! Tonight, I'm…
