App vs Full site weighing in
When I weigh in on the full site my calorie goal is adjusted for my new weight roughly every ten pounds. When I weigh in on the app it never changes my calorie goal. People on my friends list were unaware of that. So some people using the app are losing 30-40 lbs and never having the calorie goals reevaluated. Has anyone…

The worst day of my life.
Today is a terrible today. Today I realized that bacon is a food I simply can not have in moderation. This is a very sad realIzation for me because well bacon = life. If it is in the house.. I cook it. If it is at a restaurant.. I get it then think about it even more. I think we need to break up while I get a better handle…

Own worst enemy.
I started my journey in May at 272lbs. By August 29th I weighed in at 239 and was feeling really good. I can't even explain what happened to me but as soon as I saw that 239 I started slacking off. Being in the 230s thrilled me but for some reason my motivation went out the window. Why would I do this to myself? I finally…

Blood pressure question
Alright MFP friends I need some help! I have never had a high BP reading except one time before when I was really sick and in pain and it came down right after. Today at the Doc it was 130/84 which isn't crazy scary high but the doc acted concerned. I have lost weight so she said maybe limit salt and up my exercise. I'll…

"Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels."-Kate Moss
What is your opinion on this controversial quote? It was on my Pinterest newsfeed today and just got me thinking. I must say being -34lbs feels pretty darn good. I am in no way skinny and I probably will never be. Even as a very overweight person I don't really understand the hate for this quote. I find it true. Maybe…

Husband says I've officially lost it..
I just weighed fries on a scale and hit 44g (half a serving) on the dot by guessing and exclaimed "BAM WHAT?!?" Then did a little dance. He looked worried! Haha!! It's the little things I guess!!

Making up for over eating..
On Tuesday night I ate 900 calories over my day. This doesn't happen to me often. I divided it out to make up for it by quick adding 225 calories per day.. Putting me at 1100 for 4 days! I think it was a stupid choice considering how starving I feel. Have any of yall ever done this? The only reason I didn't just make it up…

Ranch
The serving size on my ranch bottle is 2 tbsp or 30ml. I like to weigh everything in grams mostly and this is one of the only dips I have seen in ml vs grams. Even my A1 is in grams which is thinner than ranch. Help?

Calling all PARENTS.
How do you go about implementing healthy habits to your child? Teaching them healthier ways and moderation without making it a huge deal? I know *i* buy and cook the food. We have chips and cookies in our house but it is not free time to eat whenever you want and as many as you want. Lately my seven year old is asking for…

Side ache?
I am very over weight. I recently got serious about power walking/jogging every day. I get this ache right below my rib cage. I power through it but will this subside when my body gets used to it?

The one food that I refuse to weigh.
I am from VA.. Which is very close to MD which means my family eats blue crabs like its our job. The database says 3oz of large MD blue crab is 87 calories. Crabs vary in size and weight. I am such a food scale nazi but picking and eating crabs is such a social thing I seriously can't imagine sitting there picking them and…

Walking/jogging shoes?

Prednisone/illness
I have an ear infection and the doctor gave me azithromycin which did not cure it. Today she gave me amoxicillin and prednisone and is confident it will do the trick. I read that a steroid can make you super hungry( or feel hungry) and retain water. I'm going to resist weighing in next week so I do not get discouraged and…

Out growing people.
I know this posts sounds horrible. But the more weight I lose the better I feel about myself and the higher my confidence gets. I have had self esteem issues in the past that I am getting under control and I find myself less tolerant of BS than ever. For the first time in my life I am proud of myself and achieving things I…

Can't hide forever.
I have realized I really need a support system on here and would be happy to be one for someone else. I never accept friend requests on here and all of my stuff is private. I just opened my the notifications of when I lose weight and when I complete my diary when when I don't. I have been very private about my weight loss…

Eff you weekend
For the first time since March the weekend won and I totally derailed! I made the stupid mistake of weighing myself this morning and I am up 3 lbs just from my weigh in Friday! I know I'm retaining all of those bad choices lol but dang it was hard to see. Back on today.

Hate seeing red?
MFP has me set at 1260 calories per day. I have over 100 lbs to lose and I know that is way too low. I have my goal set to 2lbs a week and sedentary because I am not working out yet. I am headed to planet fitness tomorrow to sign up. I need to at least 1350 calories or so not to feel so hungry but I hate seeing the red.…

Cheese or chocolate... For the rest of your life.
If I had to choose between cheese and chocolate for the rest of my life.. Cheese. No contest. This has been a funny debate between my friends for awhile. I'm on the cheese train.

Day of bad choices!
I stayed within my calorie goal today but I ate horribly. I had fast food for every meal. I don't label food as bad or good but yikes! I shoot for moderation! I do see this as progress that it actually bothers me. When I started I just ate within my calories but quickly learned how much further they go with better choices.…

Mexican restaurant chips?
Which entry do you use for chips at a Mexican restaurant? There are so many in the data base and there is no nutritional info for this place. Sometimes I do the impossible and skip them but tonight I have a few extra hundred calories to play with. I won't be able to weigh them so a number of chips would be helpful. Thanks!!

I guess it's time to get moving..
I am 27 years old and have 100 lbs to lose. Right now with goals set to sedentary and 2 pounds loss per week MFP has me eating 1290 calories. That seems so LOW for someone who weighs so much. I'm sure the fact that I'm 5'0 doesn't help. Time to get moving to bump up to lightly active so I do not go insane from "hanger" and…

Guacamole?!
Favorite way to prepare it? GO!!! :)

Avocados?
I just recently fell in love with them! The average calories I am finding them to be is 1oz for 50 calories. On my scale 2oz(roughly 57g) looks like a lot! People sometimes say they are high calories but I was actually happy with the amount. Is this the calorie amount you use for them? Thanks:)

Food scale surprise/lasagna
This is really random and rather pointless but i started weighing most everything I eat a few months ago. Most of the time weighing on the scale shows me that I was over eating before using cups/table spoons to measure. Peanut butter and block cheese being particularly sad. Tonight I weighed out 231g of Stouffer's Lasagna…

Yes. Another "cheat day" post.
I looked under my settings to see what my "maintenance" calorie number is. I have 80 lbs to lose and normally eat my -2lb calorie amount. Some have a "treat meal/day". I was thinking to avoid going buckwild and risking a downward spiral I would just eat my maintenance amount one day per week. The number is roughly +600…

Anxiety walking outside.
The weather is making a turn for the better and I want to walk/jog in my neighborhood. I know I shouldn't care what people think about me but I still have a massive amount of weight to lose (80 lbs) and it makes me nervous. For every person thinking "good for her" there is probably one thinking "eek move over heffer". I…
