I can't find my motivation...
*pity party alert* I don't know if I'm alone here or not. Sometimes I feel like I am. Does anyone else have difficulty with motivations? I feel like what other people view as a motivation, I just don't. I've tried multiple things... Accountability buddy - someone who pushes you to eat healthy foods, discourage you from…

I gained this week...
I'm so discouraged. I lost 28 pounds. 28 POUNDS!! And when I finally hit a good momentum, I gained 4 back, and an inch around my waist. I know there's some reason why. I'm kicking myself. I upped my weight training this week. Maybe that was why. My usual routine is: Monday - Body Pump Tuesday - 45 minute Elliptical…

Livin La Vida Low Carb
Hey all! So I'm recently doomed to eat low carb. I, along with the team of doctors I work with, have done a lot of research on the effects of carbohydrates on the body, and how they relate to insulin levels and fat storage. So now I'm on a low carb mission. A vendetta, if you will. I am on day 2 and I really hate life…

What do YOU do when you plateau?
I've heard a lot of different advice regarding plateaus. My trainer said that WHEN it happens, just increase the calorie intake for a few days, and then essentially "start over." That's the general plan, I guess. I work with a lady who does low-carb/high protein, and whenever she hits a plateau, she eats 4 apples a day for…

What if you HATE veggies?
So I'm going to take on clean eating...which will be very hard since I have a massive chocolate habit, and I have a coffee IV on my desk. I'm fine with the fruits, but I absolutely HATE veggies. I will only eat broccoli if it's covered in cheese and steamed beyond recognition. I tried to eat some carrot sticks and I…

Acne from sweat?
I've never really had a problem with acne, but lately I'm finding that I'm getting a lot of breakouts around my hairline on my forehead where I am sweating during workouts. Anyone else have this issue? I'm washing my hair regularly after workouts and my face daily in the morning and evening, but nothing seems to be working.

Need some weight loss buddies!
Hey all! I'm sort of new here...not really :o ) I started using MFP back in December, but then did WW, but as of June 1, I gave up WW and now I'm here again! I lost NO weight on WW. I've had a personal trainer since January, but I've only dropped 10lbs since then. Admittedly, my diet hasn't been on par the whole time. I…

Sushi?
Hey all, I'm new to MFP! I'm going to have sushi tonight, and the place I'm going has a great roll called the "Maui Wowie" that consists of shrimp tempura, yellowtail, avacado, and a pineapple salsa. I'll probably have it without avacado (blegh) but I'm not sure how to log it. I can't find any nutritional info for the…
