January Changes
For anyone that started on the 1st, and everyone else still on their weight loss journey, anyone notice any differences now that the first month of the new year is over? I'm pretty sure I've somehow gotten taller, my feet hang over the end of the bed so now I have to scoot up further. Yet when I went to the doctors I'm…

Stuck again
I am feeling a bit discouraged today, having weight in for the past two days at the same amount (I weigh every day). Now normally this would get me motivated, but every time I try to loose weight I get stuck at this same number for a few weeks (265lbs) and nothing changes. Any tips to get past this number? I've been doing…

Good or Bad Idea?
So during the week I work as a pharmacy tech and I am on my feet all day walking around and such, so I have in my settings on Lightly Active. Then it got me thinking, that most weekends (the only days I have off), other than taking a class with one of the dogs or out doing errands with my mom, I am usually home relaxing.…

Bloggers
Does anyone else blog outside of the MFP site? I started a blog starting the first day of my new journey, and I post to it everyday. It helps me keep track and accountable for my actions. Here it is: http://fluffyfoxmeetstheworld.blogspot.com/ I was wondering if anyone else had blogs??

Motivation
What was/is your motivation to loose weight? I have a few things that keep me motivated: - My 10yr reunion from high school is in 2 years and I don't want to be the same "me" from high school - I read an article before the holidays about people carrying around a lot of extra weight/fat have a 13% chance of dying after…

Reached my first Goal today
My first goal off the year was to reach 10lbs by the end of January, and I did it today! A week early!! I'm so haappppppyyyyy!! And another brag... everyday after I log my food journal I write down in a cheap calender in 5 weeks what I will weigh (for motivation), and I have already checked off the amount I should weigh on…

Eating by serving size
Needing some tips/ideas on how to eat properly as I have not done very good the last couple of days on my "diet" and I am not trying to get discouraged. If a box of (for example pasta) says 1 cup of cooked pasta is one serving.... should I eat only that one serving and not go for two servings if I am hungry. Or is it okay…

Is there a way to count calories when cooking?
For example, I am making Chicken Alfredo tomorrow for dinner. Besides making a separate portion for myself, is there a way I can calculate the calories per whatever size portion I have? I'd love to be able to eat what the rest of the family is eating every night, without making something different for myself or having to…

Scale for Sale
Will need a bucket without holes to pick it up though. LOL. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but I've been under my calories all week and I haven't lost anything. I'm not sure if it's my scale, as it said I lost 1lb yesterday, then stood on it again and I had gained (from weight the time I weighed before) 2lbs,…

Weird Day Today
So I woke up this morning (6.30am) STARVING, like didn't eat anything the day before starving. Ate a big breakfast. Two and a half hours at work, I was starving again and had a snack (which I don't normally do). Two and a half hours later at my lunch time, I scarfed down my food again (including my late afternoon snack). I…

Is it alright to just go by calorie intake?
Most of the time I'm too busy to search for each food, so I just enter in the calories. Right now I'm not really paying attention to the other categories in the food diary (protein, carbs, sugar). Is that alright? I'm just wanting to loose a chunk of weight, haven't done much exercise yet, though will soon.

Zero Calorie Soda, Good or Bad?
Yesterday and Saturday, I did poorly managing my calories (not eating alot during the day and waiting until supper to use up my calories) and got a headache each day. The only thing that really helps - along side a pain reliever - is soda. I've almost gotten to the point of cutting soda completely out of my diet. I broke…

Another HRM question
Is there a HRM out there that doesn't require you to press a button every 5 minutes? Reasonably priced? I'm either finding nothing, or just looking wrong... Thanks! Mere

Can you really loose 2lbs a week by just eating right?
Not that there's anything wrong with it, but I've been exercising my butt off (literally) and I loose only 3ish pounds the last couple of weeks. I know from others there are loosing a lot more weight but not so much exercise. I do have in my "goals" that I will workout 60 minutes, 7 times a week, so maybe I'm going over on…

Lincoln decided to motivate me
My mini poodle Lincoln decided to motivate today. Instead of being on the computer I *could* be playing the Wii Fit Plus game. Thanks Lincoln! http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4077/4912115766_8798583b5e_b.jpg

Vitamins and Supplements
Do you take anything to help with your diet, or just for your general well-being? I take a multivitamin, fish oil, glucosamine, b complex, vitamin c, potassium, and naproxen (naproxen I take twice a day for my knees).

The 260 club
Anyone in the 260lb range want to join me with kicking the fat off our backs? I'm at 262.3 right now, and want to be down to 250 by September. Who's with me in jumping down to the 250s?

If only they made half-sizes
I always hate when you've lost some weight and your size doesn't fit you, and neither does the next size down without being a teensy bit snug. If I could have a half-size down in pants, and underwear I'd be the happiest person on earth. Haha. Who else is with me that needs half-sizes!

Friend Me?
The weight loss group I joined seems to not be very good with "encouragement and motivation" like they protrayed the night, and that's one of the reasons why I always quit. So if there's anyone out there who'd like to help, I'd be greatly appreciative! I'm happy to help motivate others too!

Walk away the Pounds
Has anyone tried this, and if so did you have good results? I've also looked at the Slim in 6 (trying to find a good workout that will help shed all the extra weight before I do more "toning" workouts) but couldn't find how results were with that. TIA! ~ Mere

From to many calories, to not enough. Urghh.
So before I was having a problem staying under calories, now I'm having a problem getting enough calories. And I think my recent onslaught of headaches is from either that, or caffeine withdrawal. Any tips on better making a well-rounded diet? I feel like everything I look at I worry about calories, and not being able to…

Easy Fruits and Veggies
Looking back at my first week, the only fruits I seem to be eating is an applesauce cup, and veggies a little baggie of carrot sticks and dip, and 2/7 days some veggies with dinner. One of the big problems I have, is if it takes a bit to prepare I'm probably gonna opt for another choice. Any good suggestions for quick…

Am I doing something wrong?
I have just completed week 1 of my weightloss club. We weighed in tonight, I lost only 0.8lbs. I have been below calories all week except the 2nd and 3rd day, walked 6.5 miles... and all I got was 0.8lbs. Could it be due (TMI sorry.... that it's that time of the month?) I'm not giving up... just wondering if I'm doing…

HRM Question
I'm looking at buying a HRM to log calories I burn. I was looking around ebay and came across this http://cgi.ebay.com/Sport-Stop-Watch-Calorie-Counter-Heart-Rate-Monitor-New-/270611513039?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f01b3fecf . Any thoughts on how well you think it'd work? Mere
