I drink water all day long other then my morning cup of coffee it is all I drink. I have a 20oz bottle that I use. Today since I was home all day I figured I would actually log it just to see how much I am drinking. Well I am already at 7 bottles so that is 140oz of water. Is that too much? It is only 9pm and I will…

Why even bother coming here?
I don't get some people. MFP has a way of doing things like creating a deficit for you so you lose just by sticking to the calories given. When someone asks for advice about should I eat my exercise calories or should I keep eating below 1200 calories most people chime in (myself included) about how MFP works and why it…

Weighing less after a workout?
I have been doing the 30 Day Shred and just finished Level 1 Day 9! Weigh loss has been slow since I only had 8lbs to lose and I reset my goals from 2lbs a week to .5lbs a week. Today I weighed as I normally do when I wake up (8:30ish today) after the bathroom and before I eat or drink anything, weighing on my wii in the…

Vitatops/muffin...what else?
Ok so after reading many diaries (sort of skimming) I keep seeing vitatops. Today I notice beside vitatop someone had DOUBLE CHOCOLATE...Ok for some reason I thought they were freaking crackers. How could I have missed this? Chocolate muffins for 100 calories seriously?! What else is out there that I don't know about? I am…

30 day shred success
When did you notice a difference? What did you notice? Were you using the shred to lose weight, tone or both? I am bored and sick so thought it would be cool to see how others did. I am only level 1 day 5 so nothing yet.

Tips for working out sick
I have a cold :sad: I feel icky and tired. However I just started the 30 day shred with no room for a day off. I must workout today. It is level 1 day 5 and I have to do it. Looking for tips on how to get through it. Should I medicate an hour or so before or just do it and do the best I can?

Higher calorie foods
I am having a hard time with my extra calories. For most of my time on MFP my calories were set to 1200 and I recently upped them to 1560 (.5lb a week) which seemed like a lot but was doable and most of the time that is without exercise. I started doing the 30 day shred which burns about 200 calories and for the last few…

What exactly do I want?
I keep saying I need to tone my body. I have lost 32lbs with 8lbs to go and whenever I read about ab exercises I always read....you have to lose the fat first...does that mean the remaining fat I have there or the fat I already lost? I don't need abs of steel or a 6 pack I just need it to not roll over my pants when I sit…

Losing weight but not inches
When I did a search it was the other way around....people losing inches and NOT weight. When I started a year ago I lost about 4 inches from my waist but that was from Aug -Oct and I haven't lost 1 inch since then. Same goes for my hips...I lost 3 inches at the beginning but nothing since. I have 8lbs to lose and I am…

Do you comment to friends that don't ask?
I have a "friend" I don't normally look at diaries but happened to look at hers today. I have noticed that some days she is only netting 500-800 calories. I don't want to preach or sound like a know it all (because I sure as heck don't) but maybe she really doesn't know about NET and really I don't know her…

Lose it in '11
I plan to lose 19lbs this year, hopefully by May 1st but I am ok if it is slow and steady as long as I stay on track. There are a whole bunch of thread about challenges and groups but thought it would be nice if there was a beginning of the year weigh in so that I can look back and say here is where I was then. What do you…

Popcorn Mini Bags
Are they all 100 calories? I normally buy the regular size Smart Pop popcorn however I ran out and forgot to buy more. I have 2 of the smaller bags (mini bags) but all the info I have is one is "Butter" and the other is "Smart Pop" would they both be 100 calories?

I need a routine
Something to do in the morning and before bed like crunches. Something that will help tighten everything! I can look up all kinds but how do I go about it? Like how many reps of each and how many of each. Is anyone following something similar they are willing to share or a site that offers a routine? I do cardio but just…

So what is the deal with my husband?
He asked me today if he came for regular walks with me if he would lose weight. I said sure because it would be awesome if he would come with me. He is not a huge overeater though. He is gone most of the time and when he is home really doesn't eat a whole lot. Yesterday for example he said he didn't eat anything yesterday…

Do I need to do a program?
I am trying to refocus myself. For the past year I have been focused on weight loss and calorie counting. While I still plan to calorie count and lose weight I want to shift my focus to building muscle and toning. I am not feeling a while program like P90x or 30 day shred. I do much better when it is at my own pace and I…

Do you look at your daily or weekly totals?
I am new to NET calories. Before i was always under and recently I have changed my habits so that I can always be at over a bit over. However today I made a huge mistake and indulged a wee bit too much. I just don't have the motivation, time or energy to burn it off. When I look at my weekly stats though I am only 63…

Can someone look at my last 5 days?
I have been searching and reading about net calories and I am a wee bit lost. When I log on to the iphone app I am able to see the banner that says Goal....Food...Exercise...Net...Remaining and I am now questioning it. Normally I know that I have 1200 calories I must eat (no problem there) and when I exercise I try to eat…

Talk to me about my big belly
I have had 2 children and both c-sections. I don't expect a 6 pack but would like to not look so pot bellyish. I am very close to my goal weight and am curious if those last 12ish pounds will really make much of a difference. I mean you need to get rid of the fat on your belly before you can have any sort of flatness…
