Dark or white meat on Thanksgiving Day?
I prefer dark. Yes I know it has more calories and fat, but I love me some turkey leg! If anyone can take a look at my food diary and let me know what they think for my progress today I'd like some advice. The nutrition info didn't differentiate between dark and white meat. Also, I'm planning to go on another 30 minute…

Least hungry in the morning, most hungry at night
I have this problem where when I wake up in the morning I'm at my least hungry, but as the day goes on I get hungrier. At nighttime, I always want to snack. I'm assuming that part of the reason I'm not hungry in the morning, usually, is because I'm digesting still from the night before. Is this true? I'm making an effort…

Eating too much sugar...Help!
I just added a sugar column to my food diary and I was shocked at how much sugar I'm getting every day - some days it has been about 90 grams and I'm supposed to aim for 30 grams. Is there a way I can cut back on my sugar intake without driving myself crazy? Thanks! EDIT: So, why does MFP count natural sugars coming from…

Cheated over the weekend and beating myself up over it!
Not the best diet weekend -- I went out to eat a couple times and was too lazy to move around very much yesterday. I think it's easier to cheat on weekends when I'm not occupied with work for 8 hours a day. If anyone has tips on how to stay on track over the weekends, I'd appreciate it! Also, if anybody else would like to…

What happens if you have a bad diet day?
Today was a bad day for my diet, but I'm not sure what caused me to steer off course. I feel ashamed and annoyed with myself. What should I do tomorrow, or what can I do in the future to not have a bad diet day?

Why does it take so long to lose weight?
I want to lose weight the healthy way, but it just seems so frustrating and like such a long, drawn out process. I wish I could be at my goal weight YESTERDAY. Anybody else feel this way?

Overcoming fear of weighing myself
I'm not a fan of hopping on the scale, especially when the number is higher than I expected, it's kind of demoralizing for me. Anybody else experience this? How did you overcome your anxiety and the stress to decide to weigh yourself more frequently?

Using MFP with a registered dietitian
My name is Meg and I am currently overweight. I have about 50-75 pounds to lose (we'll see how I feel once I reach 50, that seems so far from now, and I'm looking at it as 10 pounds at a time!). I signed up for MFP last year with the advice of a friend, but I only dabbled in it for a brief period of time. At that point, I…
