For people under 5'4"

This is “calorie cycling,” as he calls it. “I’ve found that giving women the opportunity of a little…

I read this article and almost cried. I think we all need to be careful what we're teaching our children as we are on our journey's.

I love this one...had to share
I know that things are hard right now. You're going to be okay, but might take a while. It might be scary, and you might want to give up. Don't give up, you can do this. Things won't be this way forever. One day, you're going to be so proud if yourself.

Looking for MFP friends

I figure the more POSITIVE people I have on my list the more chance there is of there being SOMEONE trolling MFP to see my post. I know I can post on Motivation and Support but I…

Feeling like a failure.
about 5 years ago I lost 40 lbs with LA Weightloss. It closed here in Canada so I no longer have a daily support program. No longer have the food guide. I have gained ALL the weight back as I didn't change my lifestyle. I am embarrassed to go out into public. to go out with my friends as I think they're all judging my…

Just need a boost...
I was away on a business trip for 5 days which makes dealing with eating programs extremely hard. I gained one pound while gone...which is good considering but feeling gross. I also came back sick. When I'm sick I have NO motivation to do ANYTHING. I don't even want to drink water. Even my bra feels disgusting. I can't go…

Calorie calculations?
I cooked a paleo meatloaf tonight with extra lean ground chicken and when I used the recipe builder to calculate calories per serving I got less than 150!!!! Weird???? I used the "150" because the actual number seemed low. Thoughts?

Fat intake
I have been on enough diets and I know my body well enough that I KNOW that too LITTLE fat in your diet can bring things to a halt in the GI tract. I eat SOOO lean and so LITTLE processed foods that I barely make it to the half way point in my daily recommended fat intake AND I only consume MAYBE 3/4 of my sodium. Any…
