2012 Goals (Weight)
I started MFP in 2010 and lost 14 lbs. It was then I found out I was prenant. I lost all but 5 lbs of my pregnancy weight, but slowly started gaining more and more. I started back on my journey the day after Christmas. Here is how my journey has gone and where I'd like to end up. Dec 26, 2011 - SW - 185 Feb. 09, 2012 - CW…

Can a baby stretch your ribs?
I just took my measurements and my waist is up 4.5 inches since pre pregnancy. I have noticed that my smaller clothes aren't fitting through that area very well. Can a baby really stretch your ribs? I am only 3 lbs away from my pre -preg weight, but my measurements are horrible.

Water Retention
This has probably already been asked, but I'll ask again anyway. I had a baby back in March of last year and have recently started trying to lose weight again. I started out with just counting calories and I was losing about 1.5 lbs a week. Within the last week I have been drinking lots of water (5-8 cups). Sadly, before…

Calories During Pregnancy
I was reading that on average a woman should only add aout 300 calories to her diet when pregnant. Many people agreed with this statement. My question is...Does that 300 go on top of the weight loss calories or on top of maintenance calories??? I was trying to lose weight before finding out I was pregnant so do I just add…

Popcorn -- Please Help!!!!
I have been eating popcorn lately and I was looking it up in the database and I'm not sure any of the entries are right. I added a new entry using the information off of the box of popcorn, but since there were so many entries that agreed with each other I wanted to make sure I wasn't way off. So I guess I'm going against…

Nerves and Anxiety
Well MFP and MFPers I love you all so much, but my time of calorie counting is about over. This calorie counting has made my life a lot harder than normal and frankly this isn't how I want to spend the rest of my life. It has become a diet and not a lifestyle change and I really just can't do that to my body. I have done…

Does White Rice Have Carbs?
I was trying to put White Rice in my diary and found two different entries. One says that it has 44 carbs w/ 2 confirmations and the other says no carbs w/ 4 confirmations. The place I eat Chinese at is local and they don't have nutrition facts. Could someone please help me. Does rice have carbs? This is steamed white rice…

Munching on Everything Healthy
Is it just me or does anyone else ever have meals where you just don't feel like eating a meal but instead munching on everything healthy? Sometimes, like tonight, I don't feel like having a meal. I just want some yogurt, cheese, cucumbers, apples, etc. Just a mixed up bunch of food. Is that a bad thing? Am I crazy?

Water Retention
What is the best way to BREAK water retention? I'm trying to drink more water today and watch my salt intake. How long does it usually take to get rid of water? I've been holding water since Saturday. I went for a walk this morning and my hands were huge when I was done. We had a cookout on Saturday..so on Sat I had pizza…

Down 7 lbs today!
I am down 6.8 technically, but today for the first time since starting my new healthy lifestyle I'm having a skinny day. Those are very rare in my book. Seldom do they decide to rear their heads, BUT today I took hold and boy does it feel good. I actually feel lighter today. It could be because this morning my husband…

Goal Weight
I started here back at the end of April. I have my long term goal of where I would like to be in the end, but I have never set any real mini goals. I thought that I would start this post just to see what mini goals I do have for myself and possibly where others are headed. Feel free to post your mini goals and even your…

Lemonade Chiller
So my husband tried being really nice to me today. He went to D.Q. and thought about what he could get me that would be semi healthy (or less unhealthy). He brought me a lemonade Chiller thinking lemonade chillers have to be way better than Ice Cream. I looked it up before I even took a sip of it and it has 186 carbs in…

Hey! I'm back with the healthy eating questions...
Here's a question for all of you. I have my diary open to everyone I believe. Take a look if you need to. I could really use your help. I am eating Kashi Go Lean. One for breakfast and one for lunch. It is high in carbs, but gives me the other nutrients that I need daily. I love the stuff, but was wondering if the carbs in…

How do I eat healthy??
I am completely at a loss. I was never raised to eat healthy. Actually as a child my favorite food was mac and cheese and we had it every meal. I didn't like veggies and I didn't like very much meat. I ate mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. So healthy huh? Well I do eat more healthy now, but honestly I really don't know…

Being Consistent in a different sort of way...
Not trying to sound gross but I have a basic question. Has anyone else been pretty regular in using the bathroom since starting weight loss? I'm wondering if its not my extremely higher doses of fiber.

Sensitive Question
First off I want to say that I do not mean anything bad by asking this question and please don't misinterpret me. I am just really curious about this. My question is to those who need to lose 100 lbs or more. I do not have that much to lose, but I have about 30 to lose. I just wondered what keeps you motivated to lose. Are…

BMR?
Quick Question : I just checked my BMR and it said my calories in bed all day would be 1532. I am on a 1200 calorie diet. Any suggestions on what my calorie intake needs to be? Should I up my calories to around 1400 or just leave them at the 1200?

Need Encouragement!!!
Okay so I went to Six Flags today and I totally busted my calories and everything. Went way over. I'm so so so mad. I have been doing great. I realize that there is nothing I can do about it now. I am just so frustrated. I look at what I ate and think what the heck was I thinking. Anyway...Can I please get some…

Six Flags
My husband and I are going to be at Six Flags tomorrow for 6 hours. I was just wondering what the best way to try to figure calories burned would be. I don't have a monitor so I'm needing suggestions on what the best way to categorize that would be. I did 6 hours of walking--slow pace bc I know that we will be burning…

How Do I upload before and after pics?
I saw the other post about before and after pictures. I looked back at when I was my heaviest and then a picture that was taken a few months ago and I can't believe the difference. I really just wanted to post and brag :) I can't figure out how to get my pictures on a discussion though. Thanks.
