Not New but Needing New Friends
I've been here several years. In that time I've lost a good deal of weight, got pregnant, had a baby, gained weight, and am losing that again. I find that many of my original friends are gone, and most did not lose the weight they wanted to lose. That makes me feel very dejected. I need new friends, but I am specifically…

Salmonella
I'm recovering from a very horrific bout of salmonella that started around 3:30am. I'm now out of bed/bathroom cycle at 9:30pm. My husband gave me my Valentine's early so I ate a few chocolates and then he got McDonald's for dinner since I couldn't cook, and am now at my daily calorie limit. But I really haven't eaten much…

I saw a nutritionist this past weekend who told me to aim for 1700 calories a day. I changed my MFP goal from 1 pound/week to 2 pounds/week and it set my goal…

My weight loss is slow. Do I need to eat more calories?
I've been reading how a lot of people use the IIFYM/TDEE-15% plan instead of the default MFP one but I am honestly terrified to switch because I am already barely losing weight and adding more calories scares me. I know the idea is that if you do that you will lose weight faster even than now, but what if I don't? I am…
