Weight Watchers?
I've been on MFP for awhile, and I've tried so many different strategies and I never seem to really lose much. I stuck with MFP consistently and worked out at least 30 minutes a day for 10 straight months (last year into early this year) and I only lost 18 pounds total.... which, considering the fact that I have about 150…

natural vs. processed sugar
What's the skinny on natural vs. processes sugar? I have only had like 300 calories today and I'm already over on my sugar for the day because I had a fruit salad for breakfast! Some people say natural sugar is ok, not to worry and others say that it's the same as regular processed white sugar b/c it does the same thing in…

Gaining - again?
I have been struggling since May of last year. I am just over it now. I think I'm just doomed to be fat forever. That's just how it is. I seriously was happier before when I wasn't worrying about my weight, calories, exercising, etc. The same thing always happens - I start out, I drop 10-15 pounds really fast, and then I…

am I eating too little?
I have been MFP since May of last year and I am having the hardest time getting my calorie intake number correct. MFP wants me to have 1750 calories per day right now, and this one calculator I tried before (that someone else had posted here in the forum) gave me a suggested number of 2535 per day in order to lose…

Do you know someone like this...?
I know someone, someone close to me (family) who just makes me crazy! She weighs maybe 120 on a bad day, is taller than me (I'm 5'7), and constantly is "dieting" and complaining about how fat she is, and how much dieting sucks, etc. but she doesn't eat. Today she was whining about how 1 scrambled egg isn't filling enough…

which is better?
I am wondering which is better - MFP has my calorie limit set at 1750 per day to loose 2lbs per week. But I have heard a lot of people adhering to a 1200 calorie per day diet. Which is better? Should I ad-hear pretty strictly closer to the 1750, or closer to 1200 ?

Husband discouraging...
Anyone else dealing with a discouraging significant other?? I love my husband, he's fantastic, but when it comes to me losing weight, he's a pain in my *kitten*. I really really really love and appreciate that he loves me just the way I am, I am thankful for that so much and I tell him that all the time - but he's not…

Whole Wheat Pasta recipes?
I am a total pasta addict, so I am loving whole wheat angel hair pasta from mueller's. BUT I need some recipes! Help! 2 nights this week I had Angel hair with chicken, broccoli, carrots, and a tablespoon of cream with 1/4 cup of shredded cheese... it was kind of a faux alfredo and the calories were super low, around 500.…

Starting Over for 2012
I have been using MFP since May of last year but I totally did a crappy job, was inconsistent, and basically gave up around Thanksgiving, because let's not kid ourselves, right?? But I decided that on January 1 I would start over.... fresh. So I even made a new username and am literally starting over. I made a list of…
