Chug or sip??
If I really need to drink a lot more water for the day, should I just chug it and get it over with or is that bad? I just don't want to sit around sipping for the next 2 hours..but is it bad if I just chug 16 or 20 oz in the next 10-15 minutes?

Question about eat more to lose more?
I've read a lot about it, but I was wondering, has anyone who has not too much to lose (10-15lbs) found success with this method? Ive seen plenty of success stories about people with 50-100lbs to lose upping their calories and watching the lbs drop off, but I'm wondering if because I'm so close to my goal weight, that…

Zig Zagging?
I've read a little about calorie "zig-zagging" and I was wondering if there was a way to control my calorie goal day by day on MFP. It gives me a constant calore goal, but I'm trying to figure out how I'll be able to include the changing values each day if I do calorie zig-zagging, if that makes any sense. Thanks for the…

1200 is the magic number?
Where are people getting this "magic" number of 1200 calories a day? It seems a bit random to me. And people are constantly saying "NO ONE should eat ANY LESS than 1200 or you'll gain weight!" I feel like they're generalizing people and what works for them. If there is a woman that is 4'10" or something, surely 1200…

I wanna be a fast runner :)
So I just ran a 5k in 30 minutes yesterday for the first time, but I'm already thinking about what a good goal time is. Looking at the cross country team at my school there are girls running it in 18-19 minutes, which to me seems IMPOSSIBLE. My questions are: What is a good goal time to strive for? and How can I go about…

NSV--I ran a 5k!
Last night I was tired, bloated, and generally at the end of a terrible day. I had been doing C25k for almost 6 weeks, but I hadn't run in 4 or so days. For some reason, I decided it was the perfect day to skip the last 3 weeks of the program and just run a 5k. It was TERRIBLE and PAINFUL but SO SO SO rewarding. I ran a 5k…

Really scared to try "eat more to lose more"
Reading through the forums for the past couple weeks I've seen a lot of talk about eating more calores to more weight. I really do want this to be true, I mean, who doesn't want to be able to eat more food and still reach their goal weight? My only issue is that I really want to be 145 before I head out of town on August…

Problem with the scale?
This morning when I weighed myself I was 157.4, and just for the hell of it I decided to weigh myself tonight after dinner, just to see how much I gain during the day. I was planning on the number to be somewhere around 159/160 or something like that, but the scale read 155.8. My question is, would this show a problem with…

ANOTHER post about 30 day shred
Hi everyone! I know there's a ton of posts about the 30 day shred already, but I had a more specific question. I'm 5'9" and about 154lbs. I'm in decent shape but could definitely stand to tone up, and lose a few lbs. I have seen great results on MFP from people with much more to lose than me, but I was just wondering if…

NO self control
I'm freaking out a bit. I gained weight once I left home for school, and it's been months of me trying to lose weight. I have found absolutely NO success. In fact, I've gained. I feel so completely and utterly defeated. I thought if I put my mind to this and wanted it bad enough, I could make it happen. I've found instead,…

LOOK AT MEEEEE
good, I got your attention! I'm not technically "new" to this, but I only have a few friends, and while they are great and motivating, I'd love a few more! I'm 18, and only have about 10-15lbs to lose depending on when I decide I want to maintain (im at about 150 right now). Anyone with similar (or very different :P) goals…

I LOVED going over my calories!
Well, it's obviously not the best thing in the world, given I'm trying to lose weight, but I'm proud of myself. Why? Because I logged every. single. bite. of food that entered my mouth today, and in all this time, that's a FIRST. So yeah, even when I knew it was going to be over, I still logged it, and I'm sure as hell…
