You mean I get to eat MORE ice cream?!
I now weigh almost everything instead of believing the packaging. This started when I weighed a salmon that should have weighed 196 gms but instead weighed 149. Um. Not gonna add 25% more calories for no reason, TYVM. But the ice cream thing has BLOWN my MIND. Ice cream package says 500 ml package. Serving size is 125 ml…

Weight GAIN during pregnancy question
Does anyone know how weight gained during pregnancy works? Should it be linear? I started eating an extra 250 cals over TDEE during my 2nd trimester. I steadily gained 0.5 to 1 lbs per week and I was happy with that. However, I am just about to start my 3rd trimester, and suddenly I've gained 10 lbs in the last few weeks.…

Increased eating sooner?
Hi! I am currently 11 weeks pregnant and I'm using MFP to make sure I don't ever-eat during this pregnancy. I kinda have a bad habit of over-indulging in naughty foods when pregnant. Anyhoo, I'm concerned because I am eating approx 2200 calories according to MFP maintenance. Recently, my MS is getting much better, and I'm…

That Awkward Moment When...
That Awkward Moment When... You realize that the Walmart in you local mall doesn't have a family bathroom to fit you, your double stroller, two kids, and a whack-load of gifts, so you are forced to go to the standard bathrooms instead. Just as you head into the only handicap stall, you feel lasers boring into the back of…

To break, or not to break? That is the question.
I usually post my questions to my friends list, but I'm putting this out there for the masses to weigh in their opinions. Recently, I read about a "diet break". In a nutshell, depending on your goal and/or size, you take a 2 week break every 6 to 12 weeks. Apparently, this helps your metabolism in some technical way, and…

How do YOU eat?
QUESTION: How much of an impact does counting micros have on a calorie reduced diet? Who subscribes to calories in/calories out only? Is one better than the other? I've been letting myself eat some yummier food lately. Sucks how I have nearly 1000 calories left for my Friday night pizza dinner, but have only 8 grams of fat…

40 lbs in 6 months
It's been 6 months since I joined MFP. I have lost nearly 40 lbs and I have just under 25 more to go. I have just started fitting into some of my pre-pregnancy clothes. I want to fit into my pre-wedding clothes next! This is my first time posting pics. So nervous! In about 10 more lbs I plan to buy New Rules of Lifting for…

Milton, Ontario, Canada - Morning Walking Buddy?
I am looking for anyone in Milton, Ontario, Canada who walks as a part of their fitness plan. I walk with my babies, and tho they rock, they are not the best motivators. "Mommy, let's have cookies. That park looks fun, let's play instead." I am new to the area and usually walk in the mornings around 9 am. I live in the…

Quick question about pasta
I boil some whole wheat pasta. Unprepared, the box says 310 calories for a cup. I weigh a few dry and then weigh a few boiled and estimate that they have blown up about 3 times the size. I portion out one cup, log it as about a third of an uprepared cup. That's a measly 100 calories for a whole cup of delicious pasta. Why…

Thank you thank you thank you!!
I just joined your group and I find it all amazing! I have a few questions tho! I started MFP in January and plugged all my numbers in a guess what calories it told me to eat? 1200! I did, for like three weeks, and thought I was dying. My toddler was eating more than me, it was embarassing. Then my friend told me to…

Calculating my cals - Help me with my math!!
I am currently weaning my 12 month old and I'm worried about stalling my loss. I am currently eating an extra 300 calories a day because of breastfeeding, but that might be a bit much. I am down to 3 or 4 feeds a day, mostly for naps and morning noms. But I'm not sure how to calculate my new calories based on no…

Dr suggested weight training - Any tips/suggestions?
I just got back from a visit with my family doctor, and she was impressed with my weight loss up to date, especially because it's not been done thru a crash fad diet. When I told her the types of exercises I've been doing - treadmill, walking outside, Zumba - she said that cardio is great, but that I should start lifting…

My Strange Addiction
Anyone else watch this show? I watched a marathon yesterday. People were eating things like nail polish, soil, gasoline, couch cushions, and even drinking their own urine! All I could think was - How would they log that into myfitnesspal?? How many calories is in urine? OMG!

Babies are excellent walking buddies!
Who else plans on walking off some pounds once the weather gets warmer? It's a good thing I can trick my toddler into telling her that the park is "far away" and get away with walking for a couple of kms before I take her there. :laugh: Also, did anyone else see how many calories MFP says is burned gardening?! My patch of…

Within my Calories but High Fat?
I usually eat within my calories but when I look at my daily totals I am almost always over in total fats. I don't have the healthiest diet, but it's not terrible either. Feel free to check out my diary if you want. FYI - I just upped my calories to 1400 + BF just today after reading a lot about BMR. I'm told calorie in…

Working Out
I will break the ice and start the first post. LOL I put my little Bubs to sleep using the boob. I also find the best time to work out is when both kids are sleeping. However, my Bubs is 10 months old now and he really likes to wake up in the middle of his naps. He won't go back to sleep unless I BF him again!! Then I have…

Calories from food preparation
When logging food, does everyone log the calories from the way the food is prepared? For example, I used to fry my pork tenderloin, but now I bake it and spray a little Pam on a baking sheet instead; I logged a few seconds of Pam sprays. It's usually only a few calories, but I do it anyway. Or I ate catered food…

I'm not that new but still need friends?!?!
I started MFP a month ago. I've been kicking butt and taking names, but I'm the only person in my every day life who is really taking this weight loss seriously. I just started contributing to the message boards too. I'm really liking this community! I'm hoping to add some friends who are more like a "casual" weight loser…
