What a jerk!
I'm feeling very down today... I work at retail store, where a customer was returning a pack of underwear for his wife. The underwear was aparrently way to big. And how did he tell me? "My wife usually wears a Large. She is very large... Like you. But for some reason, this underwear is way too big." Not only did he tell me…

New year, new me, second chances.
Hello, all! I can't believe this is the second time I'm doing this. I told myself the first time i would not give up. I ended up doing pretty well, losing seventeen pounds and feeling great. Unfortunately, the holidays got to me, and since November, I've gained back six pounds. I took a step on the scale for the first time…

MFP reevaluating goals?
I lost one more pound today, and as soon as I logged it into the MFP app, I got a little notification saying something like, "Congratulations! You've lost ten pounds since... Yadayadayada" and now it reevaluated my goals and I eat 1250 calories a day. Did that happen to anyone else? What does it mean? Obviously, I know…

My first NSV. =]
I'm in a communications class in college, and at the beginning of the semester, we had to write down a list of things that we couldn't do. The first thing I wrote was that I could not run a mile without stopping. I had totally forgotten that I wrote that. All our assignments are due tomorrow, so I opened the document to…

Dinner at someone else's house?
My boyfriend is coming home for Thanksgiving Break soon... We often have dinner at his house. However, his family often has pasta, burgers, polish sausage... Things super high cal that I know wouldn't fit into my diet! I don't want to be rude and not eat, but only eating a little bit isn't nearly filling enough for me. I…

Those with significant others...
The last few days, I've realized that no one but my doctor knows how much I weigh. Two days ago, I finally told my MFP pals, and even that was difficult for me. Now... I'm trying to gather up the courage to tell my boyfriend of two years how much I actually weigh. He knows I'm on MFP, that I've been dieting, and I've told…

Cottage Cheese?
Hello, lovely ladies and gents! I have recently discovered cottage cheese... And I'm not sure I like the taste of it by itself. I can't handle a lot, but I've heard it's very good for you and can be filling! So... Help me out, here. =] What do you guys eat cottage cheese with? Something sweet, something salty, I'm open to…

Jewel vs Walmart?
Where do all of you lovely, thin friends ;] shop for produce? I plan on buying a lot of groceries tomorrow, including fruits and veggies, but I'm debating where to go for the fruits and veggies. I know Wal-Mart, without a doubt, has better prices for produce [frozen dinners, snacks, etc.] but I've never brought produce…

Meals that don't need refridgeration?
I have 8 hour days at school, and a break to eat lunch/snack in the middle of it. I'm a commuter to school, so I can only keep food in my bag all day. Lately, I've been eating lunchables, which are delicious, but the sodium content is killing me! I've been trying to get away from sandwiches, but it seems like they're my…

Zumba?
Has anyone here taken Zumba classes? I've been thinking about it, but I'm unsure if I should go through with it or not. Is it a good workout? And how much are the classes, usually?

Coffee... So good... Yet so bad!
So I've realized the past couple days in my food diary that my coffee [which I make at home and add sugar and creamer] is putting a serious dent in my diary. I'm a little bit of an addict, I just must have my coffee in the morning to get through my classes, but there are so many calories in sugar! What is a healthy…

Calories?
About how many calories do you guys eat during each meal? I have over 900 left for the rest of the day [lunch + dinner], and I don't know if I ate too much/too little during my first breakfast and snack.... I have 1350 calories to spread throughout my day [according to MFP], and I'm not sure which meals should have the…

New to the program... Already struggling. =[
So I hit a new low today when I went to the doctor for the first time in way too long and found out my true, terribly high weight. Like everyone does, I want this to be a fast and easy process, but I know it won't be. I've been on many diets before, working out every day, eating all the right things, but it only lasts so…
