Avoiding 1200 calories but maybe it's inevitable?
Hello, Since the beginning of July I've been trying to lose weight by eating between 14000-1500 calories, but after losing two hard earned pounds, the scale isn't budging. I've been at 150 off and on for the past two weeks... I'm not very active right now, but I am walking on the treadmill 30 minutes a day. I don't want to…

Tips to avoid late-night, fatigue-induced snacking?
Hello, I do great throughout the day with eating well and tracking my calories, but I find that between 8-10PM I begin snacking on junk (mostly my kids' snack crackers) and all of my hard work seems to go out the window. I know that boredom and fatigue play a part in this and am curious if anyone has any tips on how to…

Any 5'4 to 5'5 women with 15-20 lbs to lose able to lose weight eating 15-1600 calories per day?
Hello, I met with a nutritionist who said that for my weight and height and activity level, I could lose weight if I ate 1500 calories per day. So I'm at that calorie level for the last two weeks, but when I hit "finish logging" the notice always tells me how much I'll weigh in 5 weeks ("if everyday were like today") and…

Tips to Avoid Late Night Snacking
Hello, I have a pattern which is this: do great all day (stay in my calorie goal and exercise) and then it all goes wrong around 7:30 or 8PM. I snack a little bit here and there (a few hershey's kisses, a handful of goldfish crackers, a piece of cheese) and suddenly I'm 2-300 calories over my goal and feeling terrible…

Does Eliminating Sugar Always Equal Weight loss?
My doc has me off sugars for reasons not related to my weight. I'm dealing with stomach issues that are making it hard to keep counting calories (there's not much I can eat, so I'm not as vigilant about counting). Still, I'm not losing weight at all. Anyone out there lose weight by simply cutting out sugar/simple carbs? If…

Acne & Diet
Hello, I suffer from moderate acne and keep hearing that a dairy-free low glycemic diet will help. Has anyone out there noticed any change in skin (less breakouts) once they changed their diet?

Just Binged. What Do U Do When You Slip Up?
Did some major emotional/stress eating today. After being really good for almost a month. It's hard not to feel like I've ruined all my hard work. But that can't be true, can it? What do you tell yourself (or others) when they fall off the wagon (for one day)?

Ladies: Any Saddlebag Exercises That Work?
I've had saddlebags my whole life. Even when I was young and thin and fit. Any exercises to tone/target that area? I know lunges are ideal, but I need something that isn't hard on my knees (I have bad knees).

Bumped Calories Up But I'm Worried It'll Bite Me In The Butt
I'm pretty lean, pear-shaped, but need to lose 10-15 pounds. After reading posts about TDEE and BMR, I figured out I needed to eat about 1700 calories to lose weight (as opposed to the 1200 I've been eating for weeks). But today, after logging, I'm anxious that I'm misguided in upping calories, and when I get on the scale…

Wii Just Dance (Calories Burned Don't Match Up on MFP)
Hello, I've been doing 25-30 minutes of Just Dance 4 on the wii. When I finish, the game tells me I burned around 111 calories (it changes a little depending on what theme I've chosen for the fitness routine). However, when I go to log my aerobic exercise, MFP tells me MUCH differently, logging calories burned as somewhere…

"Only 10 LBS to Lose"?
I've been doing MFP on and off for over a year now, and I've managed to lose close to nothing. I'm not comfortable w/ my current weight, but I'm not really overweight either. I know I'd look and feel better if I was ten pounds lighter, but I keep cheating b/c I (and others around me) keep saying, "Eh, you're not *really*…

Haven't Lost A Thing For the Past 2 Months
Hello, I've never posted here before, so I feel a bit awkward, but I'm beginning to wonder if I've been eating too few calories to actually lose weight? I'm fairly healthy, and Iat 5'5 and 142 pounds I am within my normal weight range for my height (I'm just on the cusp). but I would like to lose ten pounds to give myself…
