Anybody notice??
The insane number of ads for all the "lose weight quick" schemes that pop up on the sides and top of MFP? I kind of find it funny that here we are trying to do things the right way, and the site has a stoopid ad that pops up telling you about a way to lose weight by popping a pill or by trying a new drink or something…

Think I hit a plateau
I have steadily been losing 2-3 pounds a week for the last 4 weeks, until this week. For the last 3 days, the scales have stayed the same. I knew this would happen. It happened to me last year. I just can't remember what I did to jump start my body to get over it. Currently, I work out 5-7 times a week: 2x on Mondays and…

Unintentional sabotage?!?!?
Okay, so I have been back on MFP for about a month and have made no secret to anyone who wants to know how I am doing it (counting my calories, working out, drinking my water, etc). Yesterday was my birthday, and a well-meaning lady brought me what she thought would be a good birthday cake for me: a carrot cake from…

Giving Blood and eating more?
I just got done donating blood, and I know that you are supposed to drink an extra 32 oz of water to help replenish the blood, but are you also supposed to eat more (other than the cookies and juice that they provide you when you are finished)? I was just curious.

Anybody miss. . .
I have been back on the calorie bandwagon for about a week and a half now...and am starting to miss some of my "favorite foods" (mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, salisbury steak [my fave meal]). Is anyone else having that issue? How do you overcome it?

Needing Motivation
Hey, I have been on the site for approximately 3 months, and during that time, I lost 30 pounts. The main reason I think was because I was in a Biggest Loser competition, which i won as a result of almost constant calorie counting and working out 5-6 days a week. However, since the contest ended on April 26th, I have found…

can anyone tell me. . .
how many calories are in the breakfast skillets from Cracker Barrel. There is a Veggie, a ham and cheese, and a smoked sausage. I know how much the biscuits are, just am not able to find any nutritional info on the website. :brokenheart:

how much is not enuff?
I have been working my diet for 3 months now, and have lost 35 pounds, but have some concerns about my calorie intake. According to my goals, it says that I am supposed to be consuming approximately 1310 calories a day, with no exercising included to boost my calorie intake. My problem is, I have problems even hitting 1200…

needing help getting over plateau
:explode: I have lost 25 pounds since the first of the year, and have about gotten under 200 for the first time in 8 years, but I have been hovering around 202-203 for the past week and a half. I have started working out 5 days a week, as opposed to 3 but still am not seeing any reduction in weight. Can someone please tell…

question about salt reduction
I have dropped some of the weight that i have intended, but have had several days where I have not realized th amount of salt that I had been taking in (including today). Is there any way to counteract the excess salt so I can lose weight or am I doomed to have a gain when i step on the scales the next time?

walk or run a 5k
I am signed up for a 5k this weekend and am trying to determine if it would be better to walk the entire 5k or attempt to run it. I am in shape enough to walk the 5k (this much I do know, as I walk an average of 1-2 miles a day, but have nowhere near the stamina to jog or run the entire distance, as when I do walk 3+…

crunches everyday?
Is it bad to do crunches everyday (or 2x a day even) to try and trim the abs? The last 2 days i have done 70 and am planning on doing another 40 tonite before I go to bed? :noway:
