Don't yell at me but.....
Last week was pretty much horrible for me. After two yrs, my fiance & I split up :( I was pretty much a wreck and (true-to-form), I didn't eat. I also didn't work out. UGH! Yesterday I managed a short walk with a friend and today I did actually get 3 'meals' in my stomach. I wanted to lift but pulled a muscle yesterday…

MFP 'ticker' is annoying
Every day I complete my food diary and every day MFP has told me 'If every day were like today, you would weigh *** in 5 weeks' Well guess what? You have been saying that for 5 weeks and I haven't lost an ounce! WTH?? Maybe I'm just feeling sorry for myself but geez... it makes me want to eat french fries!! :)

Help me decide if I am sedentary, light???
A little background- I was on the 1200 calorie a day diet. Then after reading NROLFW, I upped my calories to 1350 then 1460. According to every calculator I can find, my BMR is 1250. Now is the confusing part for me. Do I choose 'sedentary' life since I do not have an active job? And then just eat more on my workout days?…

Protein shakes and lactose issues
I recently added protein shakes (soy) to my diet. I love the taste and ease BUT they only have 14g of protein per serving. I have found some other whey protein shakes that have just slightly more calories but 21g of protein. The issue is, my body is NOT thrilled with lactose. Or I should say, certain lactose. I can digest…

Do you do cardio as well as lift?
I just started NROLFW last Monday. Prior to that, I had been doing low cal and just cardio & pilates. I didn't do any cardio last week and I miss it. My question is, if you do cardio, do you do it on your non-lift days or lift days? Does it matter? Do you eat back your cardio calories? (On a side note- I feel better than…

Ok I have been cleaning like a crazy woman this morning and opps, TTOM came along. Well I knew it was near and yesterday when I weighed in I figured I had some water weight as I always seem to right before my TOM. Just out of curiosity sake, I jumped on the scale.... it said 112.5lbs! THATS 4.5 lbs less?? Well, i didn't…

*RANT* Sugar does NOT cause diabetes!
I have only been on this site for a few weeks and I read the forums regularly. It makes me CRAZY when ppl tell others that consuming sugar will cause diabetes! Many factors contribute to diabetes including genetics, lifestyle, & weight. HOWEVER, eating sugary foods in-and-of-itself does NOT cause diabetes. Genetics…

Frustrated- new to site
Hi all! I am new to this site though I have been using LoseIt for the last 4 weeks. I switched because I think this database is better. Anyhow..... I am SO frustrated. I have been working really hard, watching my caloric intake then adjusting my fat, protein, carb intake. I have been consistently under my calories and have…

What is 'better'???
Is it better to do cardio longer at less intensity or shorter at more intensity? I noticed I burn more calories at less intensity/longer duration. IE walking 3.0 for and hour as opposed to 4.5 for 30 min. Which is 'better'? I want to be able to increase my endurance, eventually being able to have say, a 14 min mile.…

Photos
UGH! I just took and posted a picture of myself and WOW- that is motivation for me! I so wish I had not let myself go... but I did and now I am working SO hard to get back to a place I was many years ago. I posted this picture so I would be forced to see the truth everyday (I have avoided mirrors for quite a while).…
