So frustrated with the last 5!!!
Ok, I know there are threads about the dreaded last 5 pounds, but I want some recent posts to get some friends that are trying to get rid of those last 5. So please add me if you are struggling too. I am so frustrated. I am 5'6" and at 135 pounds now - I started at 172 so I have lost quite a bit of weight. I set my goal at…

Vermicelli calories
Okay, so I guess I am a victim of imported foods and bad nutrition labels from different countries, and anyone that buys vermicelli noodles will just enter what they see in MFP and it will be wrong. However, I don't know what is right. I have two packages of different brands bean vermicelli noodles. One says 100 grams is…

Please read this - fat to fit podcasts
Hi everyone, I just recently started listening to a podcast that really has confirmed a lot of my choices and things I've learned over this weight loss journey. I wish I had listened to this earlier but it's not too late, but I have made mistakes in the beginning and now I am doing the right things. The podcast is here:…

which scale??
Okay so this is largely my fault because I didn't weigh myself on both scales. But last weekend I went out and bought a new scale that has some other options like BMI, body fat, etc. I weighted myself on the new scale and it was 146.2 so that's what I entered in here. I packed the old scale away without comparing. I…

rollerblading... really!?
Okay, so today i went rollerblading. I am as begginer as beginner gets and there were times where I coasted but overall I was working to move. So I was out for about an hour, but decided to log 45 minutes due to the times where i was coasting along. I get 328 calories burned from doing this! Can this be right?…

NSV for today!
So looking in the mirror this morning, I noticed that my stomach is not sticking out as much. Then I did a quick measurement (couldn't help it), and it was almost 1 inch down from two weeks ago when I measured it (usually only do this once a month). Yay for all those damn crunches and love handle workouts!! Fist pump!!

Zig Zag calories! Help!!
Not one single person helped me the first time I posted this, so let's try again. I'm not sure, but I think I'm at the beginning of a plateau. I am going to try zig zag calories this week and see what happens. I KNOW that I've told others until I'm blue in the face that to get rid of a plateau you have to trick your body…

Plateau information
Hello all, Wondering what your thoughts are on these two chapters about plateaus - someone posted these in a forum here not long ago. I can see some logic, but at the same time I have some problems with it. Just wanted other opinions. I cannot find anything else written about this anywhere.…

Think I might be plateauing - zig zag calorie time?
Plateauing.. doesn't look like a word. I'm not sure, but I think I'm at the beginning of a plateau. I am going to try zig zag calories this week and see what happens. I KNOW that I've told others until I'm blue in the face that to get rid of a plateau you have to trick your body and eat more here and there, but now when…

HRM - is it worth it
I am looking at heart rate monitors and I'm just wondering, is there really any point to them for my needs? I know they are useful in seeing that you are in the fat burning zone but other than that, is it more of just a convienence item for calorie tracking? I don't want to spend 130 dollars on one only to be like...…

Calorie needs on another site
I just punched in my information on this site: http://nutrition.about.com/od/changeyourdiet/a/calguide.htm to see how many calories I need to maintain my weight. I thought the results were interesting and QUITE different from MFP. I pasted it below. What are your thoughts?? If what's pasted below is more accurate, I can…

Chicken wing calories
Hi, This should be a simple question, but I can't get a straight answer from google or many calorie count websites including MFP. When I am trying to add chicken wing calories, is it the amount for the whole chicken wing, or the drumette? I get mixed answers from everywhere. Some sites say that one drummette without skin…

Gotta vent!
UGH health nuts really get on my nerves sometimes. I just made diet cake pops with diet coke instead of oil and egg and one of my (sort of) friends wrote this: " I think you are confused Yvette... Ditch the diet coke and add the egg and oil(Coconut or Olive) back in, it is probably the only park of the cake that was good…
