Getting back on track
I'm trying to get back on track with MFP. I lost 20 lbs a few years ago and lost my way. I've found a few new walking/hiking trails nearby and I'm stocking my house with only good foods!! Currently in stock are: oranges, apples, broccoli, carrots, skim milk, low-fat cottage cheese, fruit juice, and lightly salted almonds.…

Is this stupid?
I was thinking today. Lately I've been looking around at other people who are skinnier than me, and I been feeling like I might not feel as attractive if I lose weight. I mean, I'm like 170 and 5'3, but I've been this weight for so long, that idk if I would like being that skinny. I'm certainly going to try and see how I…

Need some encouragement!
Lately I've been really stressed out, and I just eat when that happens! I crave snack foods and sweets! I've been trying to watch what I eat, but lately I can't help but just help myself to more than I should have. I know I shouldn't stress-eat, but it's a hard habit to break.

I'm finally overweight!! Yay!!! :)
So this morning, I weighed in as usual and I've finally crossed over from the obese BMI category into the overweight category!! This feels so great and I haven't weighed this little since before two years ago!!! I'm very happy and this is just pushing me more towards my goal! :]

Getting in shape for school
I've been trying all summer to lose some weight, but I didn't realize that I'm not going to be able to lose weight without exercising. So I've started a new mindset and I AM going to exercise everyday and stick to my plan!! I have lost ten pounds since the end of last semester, and if I lose another 10 pounds, I can say…

Can you drink TOO MUCH water?
I know you're supposed to have at least 8 cups of water a day, but is there such a thing as too much water? Is it bad for trying to lose weight if you drink a lot more than 8 cups a day?

So I'm losing weight I think... but I haven't weighed myself
I've been staying active on MFP for like a month now and I can tell I'm losing weight because my clothes are getting looser and I see a difference in the mirror! The only thing is, I haven't been able to weigh myself for like a month! We have a scale in the gym in my dorm building, but I'd rather wait to weigh myself on…

Writing the Notes Everyday is really helping me!
I'm not sure how many other people actually make notes at the bottom of the food logging page in that box, but everyday I make notes and even though I probably won't go back to read them, I think it is helping! I write, "I should've drank water instead of lemonade at lunch" or "It was nice to have that ice cream as a…

Has your doctor ever told you....?
My doctor is this little older woman from Asia and she calls me "cutie pie" every time I have an appointment. But each time I go, she tells me I need to eat less food. Has your doctor told you that before? Maybe not exactly worded like that.... but mine said those words exactly. It's kind of a kick in the face, when you…

HELP! > Eating Less Sugar
I'm a vegetarian and everyday I post my food on this website, my sugar is 2x or more what is recommended. This is today for example (below), which is pretty average for me. I allow myself to have like 1 bad food a day (not that small), which is the Bosco Sticks today, which isn't really sugary anyways. If you notice, I…

How should I go about exercising?
I don't have access to any kind of equipment, and I'm very busy, so I try to get in like 20 or 30 minutes a day of calisthenics. Does anyone have any kinda of routine that has worked for them?

How can I get my mom motivated?
My mom is very overweight; she talks about losing weight all the time, but she is a very bad snacker and she keeps putting off any sort of plan to get healthy. She has been trying to get pregnant for a while, and she told me that if she wasn't pregnant by January 1st, we would start dieting and exercising together. Now…
