The plan outlines eating organic vegetable, grass fed animals, and cutting out all sugar including grains, fruit, and potatoes. Here…

Workout Help
I've been trying, and failing to lose weight for years now. I'll start dieting and exercising and somewhere in the mix I get burned out and discouraged and I quit, which leads to me gaining all the weight back that I lost and more. I recently joined a gym again. The last time I was with a gym I was working out 3 hours a…

Walkers, and Runners What do you do about blisters?
I've had my current shoes for a year now they are Reebok Realflex, and lately I've been putting a lot of miles (for me) on them. I'm walking/jogging 6 miles a day and I am getting blisters on the bottom of one foot. I'm trying to figure out what the problem is. I've drained the blister, rested the foot only to have the…

What do you do when you eat at a friend's house?
I have a friend who likes for my family to come over a couple times and month and eat with her family. I have nothing against it, but I'm trying to watch what I eat and I'm trying to figure out if I should keep my portions super tiny or what. My friend doesn't really eat "healthy" things, and I've, for the most part,…

How long has it taken you?
If you've lost weight, even if it's just a pound how long has it taken you to lose the weight that you've lost? I've lost 17lbs since December 26th, 2011. The other 12 is from 2010, and 2011. I was pregnant with my daughter from September 2010-May 2011 and lost weight during my pregnancy (not on purpose.)

11yr old at the gym
I went to the gym yesterday to do my workout. When I got there I put my stuff in the locker and weighed myself, like I do every time I go to the gym. When I got off the scale two girls came into the locker room and one of them got on the scale, she looked at it and turned to her friend and said "I don't know how to use…

In place of a road map question
I read the post and I think I understand it, but I may be making this harder on myself than I should be. I went to Fat2fitradio.com and followed the directions to figure body fat percentage. Fat2fit put me at 26.9% with a goal weight of 150ish pounds. Lean body mass was 137lbs. Here's where I'm having trouble. I have a…

Is this unrealistic?
I haven't seen a change on the scale in 4 weeks. I haven't eaten the way I should and I haven't exercised as much as I should. I just lost my Grandpa and that contributed to my lack of enthusiasm. I'm ready to gear back up and do what it takes to lose more weight. I currently weigh 190 and I'm hoping to see 185 by Easter…

Do you ever?
Get frustrated especially when you have friends who are losing weight and it seems the weight just falls off of them and you're stuck? I have a friend doing a no sugar, fruits, bread, potato diet and she's lost 20lbs already. I'm happy for her, but I'm frustrated that I work my butt off and have very little to show for it.…

burning everything I eat?!?
I got a fitbit and synced it, now it shows that I'm burning everything and my net keeps going negative. I just ate to get a whopping 129 on my net. At this rate I literally could be eating all day long. Do I need to just ignore it? Help!

30 days of logging and only 3.2lbs gone to show for it
What am I doing wrong? I'm truly sedentary, I'm up to cook for the kids and do some light cleaning and I go to the gym. I don't think I've been eating all that bad and I'm going to be getting a fitbit to help out. Do I need a kitchen scale now? Help?!?

For Newbies, MFP net calories, working out info.
Just for everyone's posterity, here's a little tid bit on how the net calories work. I'm sharing because I didn't know and now that I do I figured a common post would be good. When you sign up with MFP and choose how much weight you want to lose weather 1, 1.5, or 2lbs a week you are given a calorie goal to meet. When I…

Understanding BMR and calorie deficit, question.
I calculated my BMR and it's 1,597, MFP set me at 1510 to lose a pound a week, but I've been eating 1000 net calories nearly consistently and have only been seeing a 1lb weight loss every week. I'm supposed to start with 1597 and subtract 500 to lose 1lb per week correct? I'm trying to find the magic formula that makes…

water water everywhere...
I don't log my water. I drink it but I don't log it. I do have a question, I got fiber that you mix with water. If I drink the fiber water does that count as part of my water intake? I also do MiO and water. Does that count too as water or does it have to be plain water? Thanks!

Look through my diary
Am I eating enough? Yes, I know I had some cookies. I'm trying to get the sweets fully out of the house. My Church is doing a biggest loser competition starting Sunday and I'm trying to get my diet and exercise worked out before it starts so I fully know what I'm doing. Some of the recipes I cook are for my in-home…

What inspires you/ how do you want to look (pics)
I've been trying to find an image of how I want to look. I don't want to look too skinny, but I don't want any flab, then I finally came to a conclusion. I want to look like the character Selene from Underworld. I would love to be able to put on one of those outfits that she wears and not have any rolls.
