Not when, but what...
I've read SO many responses on the message boards that it does not matter when you eat, as long as you are within your calorie/macro goals. Calories in vs. calories out for weighloss...it all makes sense. However, my question is, if it doesn't matter what time of day you eat (in the morning or right before bed), will…

Frustrated with being frustrated
I've been on the yo-yo string since highschool (so many moons ago) and since I joined MFP last October, I have been able to finally drop some weight, in a healthy, consistent way...until now. I lost about 12 pounds and was SO proud of myself. It's been a long struggle, but I kept at it and saw the scale inch it's way down…

Ideas Needed!
I'm looking for a good easy recipe to make chicken in a crock pot. Now mind you, I just had my wisdom teeth yanked two days ago and I have to eat really soft foods and I can't eat anything that I have to chew and I'm still in a lot of pain and swollen. I have chicken breasts, low fat cream of chicken and mushroom soups,…

Discouraged
I've been with MFP since October 2011 and have really been on track (minus a few slip-ups...I'm human), and I've dropped almost 10 pounds so far. My clothes are looser and my husband says that he notices a difference in me. But, why do I look in the mirror and feel even worse now than I did before?? I feel heavier and to…

Total let down...
Okay...I was really excited yesterday morning when I had my annual physical and got my "official" weight...I've lost 9 pounds and I was SO excited! I got to work and was chatting with my boss (we've become kinda friends) and another co-worker when they asked me if I'd like a chocolate truffle. I politely declined and…

Breakfast Calories
I try to even out my calorie intake between the three main meals during the day (making room for 100 calorie snacks three times a day), but I have a question for you all...how many calories should I be taking in for breakfast? I start to freak out if I go over 300 calories (but that's only 2 cups of coffee, one packet of…

My New Years Resolution to Myself
My NY Resolution is to speak kinder of myself and to myself...to cut down the negative self-talk. When I look at myself in the mirror, instead of picking on all of the points I DON'T like, I will focus on at least two things I DO like (but still work on the issues of the points I don't like). What's your NYR?

My First NSV!!!
So, I was pretty upset yesterday because my scale said that I had gained 3.5 lbs since Saturday. I vented on MFP and got a LOT of support...and you were all right!! This morning, when I got ready for work, I grabbed a pair of slacks that I bought 2 years ago when I first started my job (they were too tight in the…

WTH??
Okay...I've been with MFP since the beginning of October and I LOVE it. I have struggled trying to lose weight FOREVER (especially after having children). I stepped on the scale Saturday morning and couldn't believe my eyes...I had lost 10 lbs since joining MFP (after a LOT of hard work too!!). I was so excited and proud…

Too scared to look...
Okay...I've been on MFP for about a month now and for the first time in a LONG time, I'm pretty good about myself (progress wise). I noticed this morning, when I put my jeans on (which were fresh out of the dryer), I didn't have to do the dreaded squats once I got them on to loosen them up so that I could breathe (you know…

New and already frustrated...
First of all, good Monday morning to you all! I joined MFP almost a month ago and have been sticking to it pretty closely...HOWEVER...I can't seem to lose more than 4 pounds (1.5 of which I just gained back last week!!). I've been pretty honest and have been tracking everything I'm eating. My in-laws are Persian, so the…
