Sara and Patrick!! I need you!!!
While I know you two know me and my history from when we talked about upping my cals in January to reset my metabolism, here's a quick rundown: Was eating 1560, gradually went to 2000 (between Jan/Feb), cut to 1750 (March), now eating 1650 (May). I log everything and weigh with a digital scale. Protein is over 150g a day.…

The Rise of MFP
Where others see a decline in MFP, I see a rise. Where others see negativity, I see information passing back and forth. Where others see people being mean, I see people trying to share the vast knowledge they have gained through trial and error. Where others see disagreement, I see debate. Where others see "bullying", I…

Calling all those just starting out ...
So here's the thing ... You're excited to start, you plug in your numbers and MFP tells you to eat ___ calories a day to lose ___ pounds a week. (And let's face it, most of us put in 2lbs a week cause we want this damn weight off already, am I right?!) Oh wow, ____ amount of calories seems a bit scary as you think of what…

Screw what the scale says
Whether you are new here or have been here for a while, if there is ONE thing I wish I could convince you of, it's that the number on the scale does NOT define you or your success!!! When we first start out, we all have that magic number ... that magic number in our head that will one day show up on the scale that will…

Come ON people ...
I can't tell you how many times I've seen "WTG", "Great job", "Good day", etc., in response to someone completing their diary for the day and it's CLEAR that those individuals didn't actually LOOK at the person's diary. Case on point: A friend closed her diary after logging only a banana for the day just to see what would…

Change for 1 in a family of 4 ...
Hi everyone! While I've been with MFP for 85+ days, I realize I never introduced myself. My name is Marnie. I am a 39-year-old married mother of 2 from California who works full-time. While my situation is not unique by any means, it tends to make my journey just a tad bit harder. With that being said, I have found the…

POLL: Are you logging Thanksgiving Day?
I've read so many threads on Thanksgiving and there seems to be two sides .... those who say "It's only one day, I'm eating what I want and enjoying my day to the hilt!" and those who are worried about keeping their calories in check. Me? While I think "it's only one day" makes perfect sense ... I mean I didn't gain 40lbs…

1200 Calories and I'm not hungry?!?!?!
Is anybody else out there who is eating around 1200 calories a day surprised that they are NOT starving throughout the day? I gotta be honest, when I first started MFP 77 days ago and was "given" 1200 calories a day, I immediately thought to myself "OMG, that's only 400 calories a meal, what about snacks??" LOL But you…

Branching out from the "norm" ...
Hi everyone!! Now that I'm down just over 20lbs, MFP suggested that they automatically update my goals. When I saw the high percentage of carbs and low percentage of protein, I decided to customize my goals instead. In the past, I've always had a lot of carbs and fat "left over" and always consume more protein and fiber…

Do you track ...
... your sugar free gum? I'm a gum-a-holic. I probably chew 5 pieces a day and they are 5 calories a slice. While I track my vitamins (15 cal), my brewed coffee (9 cal), my stupid celery (17 cal), lol, I just feel my gum is just so ... insignificant, lol. I guess my mind set is that I don't log the 6 flights of stairs I…
