First Week Back - No change - Ideas?
So it's my first week back after a long hiatus. I have maintained my current weight for about 9 months (+/- 5lbs), I easily have much more to go. For the last week I have done 20-30 minutes of treadmill, at 3.0 mph. For the rest of the day I wear a FitBit and get 5000k steps in. My diary is open. It's my first week, so I…

Tricky Popcorn Calories =(
I find it amazing how deceptive popcorn companies can be. You really have to read carefully!

The most common misconception is that the second…

Losing weight rapidly...
Okay, so here is my question. I've been losing about 5-6 pounds a week for the last 3 weeks. I don't work out, so this is all from diet alone. I don't go crazy low on my diet, I normally eat my goal of 1500 calories a day, and tend to go way over on sodium...thanks to my love of powerade and frozen dinners. I have been…

Need support! Worst diet day...
Just had a VERY bad personal/academic day and the worst diet day in 2 years. I'm 15lbs away from 100lbs lost, and suddenly I'm eating like I did years ago. I'd put my diary public, but today was beyond embarrassing. Between Ramen noodle for breakfast, Lunch from a vending machine and with pizza rolls for protein, all…

Over the hump!! Yay!
Okay just had to share. I joined MFP just over a week ago, and as of today I am down 5 lbs!! After 2 months of not seeing the scale move, this was just the kick start I needed! My diet hasn't been as good as I would like, and sometimes I'm embarrassed to see the log at the end of the day, but I'm still seeing great…
