Help! Constant Eating
I'm embarrassed to say but I need some help/suggestions. I have this horrible habit of constant eating. Even though I'm not hungry, I seem to always eat. If there is food, I find it. It sounds like a simple problem. I kept telling myself "Just don't eat it. Make a conscious decision, realize you're not hungry, and put down…

Don't get between a woman and her......?
Being on a diet, I've found that I've become very protective of my food time. Nobody gets between me and my food. I've even found myself saying things like "Don't you dare get between me and my food!!" Recently, it was joked back to me, "I thought it was don't get between a woman and a good clothing sale?" So, here we go.…

Today DOES count
I've heard a lot of people make excuses like "I was on vacation. Today doesn't count." or "I over ate today so I'm not logging. It's just one day. It doesn't count, and I'll get back on track tommorrow." I'm guilty of saying similar things myself. However, we have to remember that it DOES count. If you're sick or can't log…

6 months later and...nothing. Help!
Six months ago I weighed exactly 2 pounds less than I do now. Six months of working my butt off and two pounds increase to show for it. I need some serious help. I started off at a 1100-1200 calorie diet with 300-500 calorie exercise. I gained weight RAPIDLY. About ten pounds worth. Since then, I've gotten some helpful…

hypothyroidism - obstacle or excuse?
I have hypothryoidism (a medical condition which severely slows down the motabalism for those who may not know). It runs in the female side of my family. Likely not a coincidence, the majority of my family are quite large people. For a long time, I was very large too. I topped out at 230 lbs. I pretty easily got down to…

Waistline Measuring?
When measure one's waist, how is it done? I know this sounds like an obvious question but it's not to me. I'm getting conflicting answers. Some say to do it at your bellybutton and around. For me, this is depressing because no matter how much I work, I have all the loose skin from being overweight and pregnant. It never…

Men...Just Who Exactly Are You Trying To Impress?
So I was wondering...exactly who men are trying to impress? A woman gets a man alone, and he's sweet and listens and is (usually) not an *kitten*. Suddenly his male friends come up and it's a complete turn around. He acts like a jerk, treats a woman like some kind of toy that he's lost interest in, and does things on…

Abnormal Eating Schedule?
I tend to eat 2-3 meals before noon because I get so hungry that I start feeling sick if I don't eat but then I'm not hungry the rest of the day so I don't eat. Is this healthy? I've tried to just snack when I get hungry in the AM but all that does is increase my calorie count because I end up eating another meal on top of…

Days of rest?
Okay, so I know that the body needs rest from exercise, but my question is how. Is it better to completely take a day off and not do any exercise (other than what you normally do day to day)? Or would it be better to still hit the gym but severely tone it down? I've tried both but haven't really seen a difference one way…

Women's "average" size
I am currently a size six. I used to be four. I was wondering the normal/average size for women (not teens) so I looked it up. I found some which said 12 was while others say that 10 is most healthy. Others say 8 and some 6. None of these were blogs or anything. They were all on medical and/or health sites but nobody seems…

What horrible drivers have YOU seen on the roads?
Out of all the states I've lived in (thus far), it seems that Michigan is the absolute WORST when it comes to drivers. Every day I stare in disbelief at how people think they're good drivers and how they're actually allowed on the roads the way they drive. Yet, when I manage to make it through the day without being mauled…

Chili's food?
Does anybody know where to find the nutritional information for Chili's new honey chipotle chicken quesidilla? It's not on MFP or the restaurant's website. I've tried searching for it but all the results are for the honey chipotle chicken crispers. Anybody know?

Harder to work in the summer heat or winter freeze?
I've noticed a bit of a trend when it comes to working out. During the summer (and I live where it's always in the 90s or above during the summer), I hate working out at home or outside. I just can't take the heat or breathe the stale, dry air, so it frusterates me to try to do exercising because in just a few minutes, I'm…
