What are the chances???
So, Tuesday I was home and miserable suffering from a stomach virus. Yesterday I was starving and ate as much as I thought I could handle because I think my body wanted to make up for eating absolutely nothing on Tuesday. Today, I stepped on the scale and it shows I lost five pounds. So, now that I'm feeling completely…

Exercise Repetition Question....
I was at the gym yesterday and a lot of times, the instructor for the class I was taking (who is also the owner of the gym) gives us tips and advice about toning, eating right, etc. Yesterday, she said that once your body has done the same exercise three times, you will not see much of a result from repeating that exercise…

Down Two Sizes....
I finally had some coworkers convince me to go shopping for new clothes, because my old clothes are just so big now. Also, they said that no one would realize how much weight I've actually lost until I started wearing clothes that were tighter and fit better. I have dropped two sizes so far. I think the last time I wore…

Met My First Goal On Time
:smile: I met my first goal! I weighed in yesterday and I am no longer in the category of obese! Hooray! Now I just have to keep up my momentum for the next two weeks during the holiday season. I hope I will be able to keep it up and avoid as much temptation as possible!!!

Weigh In Day!!!
I weighed in today and I lost 3 pounds. I have been losing around 1 pound a week, but I honestly thought I had gained weight this week. I have been so hungry for the last week. I've been eating more (just can't help myself), so I was afraid to step on the scale. I couldn't believe it when I had actually lost THREE pounds.…

Eating Out DISASTER
My family and I went shopping earlier today and we decided to stop at Chili's for lunch. I felt sure that a salad would be a good choice so that I wouldn't completely blow my calorie intake for today. I ordered the grilled chicken caesar salad, and I was shocked when I checked the calories on here. I'm glad I didn't eat…

Am I Cheating?
I have been on MFP for awhile now with very little luck. I have a very slow metabolism, which causes me to get discouraged easily. After being on MFP for almost three months and following my calorie intake, and exercising on a regular basis at the gym (4-5 hours a week). I was able to lose 4 pounds. I became discouraged…

B12 and Lipotropic Injections
Has anyone here ever tried these injections? I just started them yesterday. I am not looking for a quick fix, but I have a very hard time losing weight, and I am hoping for something that will make it just a little bit easier. I find that even when I am doing EVERYTHING right -following my diet on here to a T and…

I'm back again
I'm not really new here, but I'm starting over. I haven't been using MFP for 3 months and I quickly gained all of my weight back. So, now I'm back and trying to start over and make some progress again. Wish me luck! I know I'm going to need it.

calories burned???
Can anyone tell me how accurate the exercise database is when it comes to calories burned for certain exercises? I recently bought a bicycle and have been riding it at least 30 - 60 minutes a day with my daughter. Granted, I'm not able to ride it at a very fast pace because my daughter is 6 and she has trouble keeping up,…

Finally fixed it!
:happy: I actually started my weight loss journey back in January, but found this site after I had already lost 10 pounds. Originally, I set my ticker up to only show what I had lost since joining this site and it was really discouraging to me. It only showed a small fraction of the hard work I had done. So, today I…

Really Messed Up This Time!!
This past week I was off work for spring break (I'm a teacher). It was not a good week and I just got totally off of my routine. I didn't exercise like I planned and I ate anytime I wanted and what I wanted. WHY??? WHY??? I just don't understand now why I did it then. I know I've gained weight, but I'm afraid to step on…

I can't eat that much!!
Okay, so I've been trying to keep my calorie intake to 1400 calories. However, I have really been doing well on my exercising lately, so mfp keeps telling me that I should be consuming over 2000 calories in a day. I have read the information about why it's okay to eat your exercise calories, but I just can't bring myself…

Weekends Kill Me!
Don't get me wrong, I love when the weekend is here! However, I know I could lose more weight more quickly if I could stick to my regular routines on the weekend. My husband is home though, and he likes to go out to eat usually once, but sometimes twice in a weekend. It's hard to eat out and stick to your diet, especially…

New to the Site
Hi! I just joined and I really need a site like this one. I've been dieting and exercising regularly since New Year's and I'm slowly starting to make progress, but it really helps to have a motivational tool such as this one to help push me along. If anyone has any suggestions for me, I would welcome them! My goal is to…
