Where OH Where Did My Motivation Go?!
So It has been about 2 months since I have made a conscious effort in my eating and weight loss. Lately - my motivation to keep healthy is slowly by surely going down hill. I am eating "unhealthy" snacks at higher amounts - I am more relaxed about going out to restaurants to eat...my proportions are also slowing rising…

What can I do?
So I just ate some popcorn - more than planned. Should I log the calories for today? Or is it ok to put them on for tomorrow (so I would just end up eating less for tomorrow)? I read once or twice that it is ok to do this...because it does not really matter when you eat the calories, as long as if it is within goal for the…

And I binged.
Wow. What a crazy week. I can feel myself falling off of the wagon, and I am struggling to get back on it again. Every day this week I have been over my calories and the guilt is building up. Tonight I just ate...and ate and ate more after eating. Pizza and cake. Probably tomorrows calories worth as well. I am almost at a…

So What do i do once my limit reaches 1200??
So I started at 1370calories a day. Every 10 pounds or so, I re do my goals - which keeps bringing me lower and lower in calories! I don't think i could manage on only 1200 calories a day, but is this what the goal should be? I am so confused about this. If i stay at 1370 calories - will I eventually stop losing weight…

Dealing with the guilt over going over...and beyond.
Ahhh so I do shift work, so I did not get home until 11:30ish. Well an hour went by...then 2 hours - and then it all fell apart after that. I ate tomorrows calories already. 1300. I rarely go over my calorie goal. Now I feel just terrible about it...and this is the part of "dieting" i hate!! When you go over, but you can't…

Where did my appetite go??
So I have been using MFP for about 3 - 4 weeks now, with great success on the weight loss. I have noticed for the last few days, I have almost no appetite, and I am barely getting 1000 calories! Im worried, because I don't want my body to get used to this amount, but I just never seem to feel the need to eat/hungry. I…

Scales off
So I did my weigh in today - and I got on the scale 3 times. 238lbs 235lbs 236lbs Which number would you use? I have always debated this with my bf about which attempt on the scale would be most accurate - though i do believe the 1st would (238), I decided to go with 237lbs as the jump from 238, and 235 was significant.…

How do you manage shift work?
Alright, so I noticed this evenings binge may have been because of my irregular eating times. My shifts vary from 7am-3pm, 3pm-11pm, and 11pm-7am...and it goes back and forth every week ( a couple days, a couple evenings, and a couple nights). I have already adjusted my meal names to 7am-12pm 12pm-4pm 4pm-9pm 9pm-12am…
