Should I??
Just finished posting my end calories for the day. I found this awesome butterball turkey which was the best, but the sodium kicked my butt... lol. I didnt pay attention to it, so it is off to the water hose for me. But anyhow, I only did a mild workout this morning. Can someone peek at my food diary and tell me if I…

Today was just horrible!!!
Ok, I dont know what crawled up my butt and died today, but whatever it was made me just plain pissy mood wise. Unfortunately, that pissyness also faollwed me over into my eating. I dont know if I was just depressed or mad at teh world, or just needed to take a chill pill, but I now sit here feeling very guilty over how…

strength training, cardio, or both
What is the best and most effective. I hear that if you do cardio you will drop weight faster, but strength training builds the muscle to help support the weight loss. However, i also have heard that if you are only losing like 2-3 ounds a week then the elasticity of your skin will maintain on its own and not cause loose…

Do you ever think...
Do you ever think that if you weigh yourself on a different scale that it may give you a number you didn't want and so you stay away from all scales but one? I do!! I have this idiotic idea that if I weigh myself on any scale but the one I started my diet on, it will be wrong in some way and I will be discouraged. So I…

I am having a sweet tooth but I am unsure what to satisfy it with. i know I need to eat come more calories so i get to indugle a bit, but should I go for one of my fave foods, or should I stay safe and eat something light and healthy?

Tell the truth...
Out of curiosity, how many of you actually eat your exercise calories? I havent done so on a daily basis, i utilize them as a safety net, incase I go over. My personal goal as of right now is between 1200-1300 daily. MFP gives me a 1750 calorie goal, and this is prior to entering exercise. So I'm curious to know if anyone…

Today's oopsie...
SO I was doing all well and good today on my calories. I wasn't able to exercise today or yesterday though because I somehow, unbeknownst to myself, sprained my ankle, or did something that has made it puff up to tomato size. So I was giving it a rest and will resume, or at least try, my exercise regimin tmrw morning.…

WHAT HAPPENED!!!
I lost 7 pounds the first week I dieted.... I weighed in today, the end of the second week.... I weighed in and gained a pound! I have kept my calories where they were supposed to be, and I worked out between a half hour to an hour each day, doing treadmill walking and running intervals and the track. I am soooooo upset…

I want to step on that scale!!!

I stepped on that scale the first time on Sunday and lost 7 pounds! It was a victory and i of course was thrilled... but now its only like 3 days later and I…

Curious about an input issue
Ok, quick question... Hope this makes sense. If I eat a total of 1500 calories daily, then exercise off 500 calories... do I need to eat an additional 500 calories? I'm asking because when you input you calories burned into the system, it states that you have earned an additional "number of calories" for that day. I would…

My first weigh in!
Today I stepped on the scale for the first time since I started my diet. All I was thinking was, "If its anything less than what I started with, then I will be happy." (I have a tendency to be negative, and its my diet downfall if I don't see a minus sign in my dieting.) So, for me, it was a thrill when I saw that number…
