HELP-Turning lactose intolerant?
Ruh Roh - I've been a vegetarian for a year and a half and as of late have been eating fairly clean with VERY limited amounts of animal product. I'd say I eat about 95% vegan with an occasional scoop of ice cream at night or some cheese on the weekend. BUT I ate a large serving of chocolate ice cream this weekend and got…

Can we ever stop dieting?
I started dieting in February two years ago and I lost 50 lbs over a year and a half. I am SO proud of what I've done. BUT today I realized, that I have yoyo-ed up and down about 4 lbs since this exact date of last year. I weigh exactly the same as a I did on July 11th of last year and I am beyond discouraged.... I think…

Turning Lactose Intolerant?
Ruh Roh - I haven't been eating much dairy lately (I'd say I'm 95% vegan) but ate ice cream on sunday and got quite sick to my stomach (cramps, gas, etc) and I just ate some goat cheese for lunch and am feeling SO sick. Could I be turning lactose intolerant at the age of 23?!

MFP Family - please help!
I've been on a weight loss journey for 2 years, I've lost 46 lbs, but have hit the biggest wall ever for the last 2 to 3 months. Example: This week I logged my food 6 out of 7 days, always staying under my goal. The day I did not log, I ate aproximately 2400 cals (my maintenance cals). I worked out 4 out of the last 7 days…

Fiber?!?
I just recently started tracking my fiber and holy cow am I over every day! Not by a little either, I usually double it if not more. I just started tracking it because I learned that it contributes to the 'full feeling' - something I wasn't aware of previously. I feel like I am a pretty healthy eater, and so, I don't…

Veggie Needs Help!
I'm looking for suggestions on high protein foods that don't have a ton of fat. I'm a vegetarian that is slowly giving up dairy and lately my fat intake is way too high while my protein is not at goal. For example, today my protein is only at 36 but I've already maxed out my fat. My protein usually comes from cottage…

Need Help In The Home Stretch
I'm looking for some new friends to help me lose these last 15 lbs. I have a great core group of friends that I made over a year ago on MFP that have supported me in over 35 lbs of weight loss. I'm just getting over a hump and would love some new friends that will motivate me in the home stretch - and I would love to be a…

Losing Weight = Becoming Critical???
The more weight I lose, the longer I spend picking out clothes and staring at my body in the mirror. I've lost 35 lbs and I'm loving all the compliments from people BUT all I can think about is how fat I still look. I have to lose another 17 lbs to get to my goal and it seems so far away. If 35 lbs ago you would of told me…

OMG SODIUM @ OLIVE GARDEN *RANT*
Sometimes I think about the sodium I used to eat or the sodium that nearly every American eats because they have NO IDEA what kind of sh** they're putting in their mouths. I was thinking about going to Olive Garden this weekend so I was just looking up the nutrition info for the soup and salad. I knew it would be high, but…

Any other Biopsy Patients?
So, I had a kidney biopsy this morning and the Dr. advised that I do not partake in strenuous (sp?) activity or heavy lifting for 24 - 48 hours. HOWEVER, I've googled biopsy recovery time and I'm finding results from 48 hours - 2 weeks. If anyone has had any experience with this I would love to hear it. I work out at least…

Temptations at WORK! :(
So, this moring I came into my office to see that nearly the entire building has taken vacation until the 3rd. Luckily, I missed the DELICIOUS xmas party last Friday but what I could not escape was all the xmas 'presents' sitting on my desk. Here I sit alone in my office with a desk filled with freakin' homemade chocolates…

Ohh evil SODIUM
My nutritionist has been telling me for months to lessen my sodium intake. OK, so I stopped adding salt to my food and avoided foods I just thought were salty like... chips, soups, frozen dinners. That was not enough, even though I thought I was trying, I was still eating 2500 to 3000 mg a day. As someone with kidney…

Looking for Motivation AND Support :)
I've been on MFP for about 2 months and have only lost about 5 pounds. I'm frustrated and could really use more friends that will hold me accountable and support me! I am definately addicted to food and look to it in times of comfort. My Mom recently had a kindey transplant and it's incredibly stressful to take care of…

Weight Loss Myths?
I just had a visit with my nutritionist where she cleared some things up for me! From countless tries with Weight Watcher's I thought that saving calories for the weekend, a big meal, or a party was acceptable. She said this is a big NO NO! Any meal that contains more than 600 calories will be converted to fat. I had no…

Looking for fellow Western New Yorkers!
I've been using MFP for exactly one month today and I've only lost 3 pounds :( . I'm very frustrated as I have really changed my diet and am working out at least 5 days a week. What's hurting me is not counting my calories on the weekend. We spend most weekends camping (where I have no internet access) and it's really hard…

Why aren't I losing?
I had my first two week weigh in and have lost 0 lbs! I have not been counting calories on the weekends but I am still watching what I eat on those days. I exercise 5 days a week and chug water all day long. I'm eating the majority of my calories later in the day but I didn't think that was enough to completely stop my…

Support will help me lose it!
I've been in denial about my weight since I graduated high school. I've gained 40 pounds in the last 4 years and I am so ready to change my life! I'm 21, 5'8, and I weigh 220 lbs. My goal is to weigh 170 and I've set myself up to lose 1 and 1/2 pound a week. Getting to the gym isn't a problem for me - neither is eating…
