There will be around 50 ppl there, but I'd like something to serve at least 20--- i can always double the reciepe! Note---a hot dish is not an option due to no electricity, etc. (I've gotta bring it in a…

Looking Back
Last Friday was my weigh in. I gained .6 and it was very depressing for me. Having stayed under my calories and TOM coming, I figured it out to be mainly water retension. But still sad about it, nevertheless. Now, 4 days later, I'm still upset about it, and discouraged to get back on that scale. I am planning on waiting…

Will it ever come?
Been on this weight loss journey for 2 years now. Lost 60 before joining MFP. Gained 10 back, now I've lost that 10, and have been trying to get 20 off to meet my under 200lb goal. Will that day ever come? I feel like I keep climbing and climbing, and don't get anywhere. What a struggle! :(

I can't help but to be concerned...
And it may be nothing, but lately- especially this week, I have been worried about my weigh in. I usually work out 7 days a week, and I missed one week. I also went over my fat and sodium once this week as well. My weigh in is Saturday, and I really want to be positive and see a great loss this week. I feel like I'm…

Benihana's!
It's my absolutely favorite restuarant. If anyone has been there, they know how fabulous the cream sauce and chicken fried rice are ---- the inner fat Melissa LOVE them. So... my inlaws want to take us there tomorrow night for dinner, and so here we go. The good, calorie counting Melissa needs to outshine the devilish…

Mediteranean Chicken Delite Pizza
So, on Sunday, my hubby and I got a papa murphy's take and bake pizza. And I have tons of left overs, - over half the pizza actually. 2 pieces is 360 cals, but 18 g of fat. Now, I've only been eating 2 pieces a day for lunch.... with some baby carrots, ya know? But even tho I am only eating 2 slices a day, I feel guilty…

Addicted!
Just wanted to announce that I am absolutely 100% addicted to my new life style. I love MFP. I've been a member since May 11th 2010 - Just over a month, and I've lost 10 lbs. I love that I count my calories and think so much about what I put into my body. I look forward to weighing in, and planning my meals and grocery…

Fiber and Protien
So I feel like every day I go over my fiber by 5-10 and my protien by at least 15! Is this ok for me? I can't think why not.... but it's the only thing I ever go into the negitives with and I am just curious.....

I've been seeing alot of posts regarding the weekend and how much everyone got off track, etc. You know what? It happens, you're human. I just wanted to reach out to EVERYONE and let you know that you can get up, dust off your shorts and get back on track. I have faith in you and know that you have what it takes. You've…

supreme pizza
So I ate really well this morning, and I knew I was going to be having pizza for lunch. I had two medium slices of pizza, and 2 glasses of 2% milk. (Skim was unavailable). I know I probably should have only had 1 slice, since they were close to 360 a slice. But I didnt. And I should have had water. AHhh. So I have approx…

.3 loss in 1 week!
I am really upset. This was my 3rd week for MFP. I only lost .3 lbs. I'm really really bummed. I stayed below my sodium, and went over my sugar a little bit. But I worked out 45min-1hr EVERY day! And I ate back over 1/2 of my calories as well. I log EVERYTHING that touches my lips too! I lost 3 lbs my first week, and 2.5…

Does your body get used to it?
Hey all, So I'm in week 3 of this new life style, and I've been eating 1200, and getting approx 300-400 back each day through excersize. I also eat back at least half of those calories burned. I feel like I'm still hungry, but most of the time, it's between snack and meal time - when I know I'll be eating in like 1-2 hrs.…

Change to 1200 cals
Hi all. I tried changing my goals, and I am at 1230 for caloric intake/day. I'd like to get it down to 1200. I changed my workout goals, but it's still telling me 1230. Any idea what else I could do so it would go down to 1200? Thanks!

For Women Only!!! (Men, you would have no interest)
So, I'm kinda nervous. Been on MFP for almost 2 weeks, and my first weigh in, I lost a little over 3 lbs. So this Saturday is my next weigh in, and I'm super pumped because I'm really into this site, and eating well and exercising the best I can. The problem with my weigh in this Saturday is that it's my T.O.M. and I feel…

Cravings
So I'm going into week 3 of MFP! And doing really well. I'm just still getting my sweet tooth cravings once in awhile. I haven't given in, because I deserve more than that... but ahhhh it's on my mind. I'm trying to stay busy and not think about it, ya know?!

Best Choice from Subway
What kind of sub -(and tastiest) can I get from subway for around 400 cals? What do you usually get when you go there? That's my dinner plans for tonight......

Don't want to eat extra calories burned off... good idea or
So, you know how I am eating like 1200 cals a day, and then I burn 300-400 when I work out in the afternoons. Well is it a bad idea if I don't want to eat those calories back that I burn? I generally eat 150 of them back with dinner. But what do you think? I just want to see the best results on my body and scale each…

Chocolate/Sweets!!!!
So I absolutely love sweets. I'd eat my total day's worth of calories in pie if I could. But I can't and I won't. I know you're supposed to "allow" yourself to have a little bit, or else you may break down and binge on it, but if I allow myself to even have a bite or a piece, my cravings are worse than ever. So take this,…

How do you keep going?
So I've got a situation. That happens to me ALOT. I'm on the treadmill, or elliptical, usually around 15-20 mins, when boredom strikes, and I want to do ANYTHING but be on that machine. And I try to excite myself with new music or watching tv or even just staring at one particular spot . That usually can get me through…

I'm new!
Hi All, I'm Melissa. New to Fitness Pal. I have lost 60 lbs, and have been plateauing the past 9 months, 5-10 lbs, gaining and losing the same amount each week. I have tried weight watchers, nutralife, and a personal trainer (which got too expensive). I am here to figure out how I can regain control over my eating and…
