Looking for examples of meal planning / pre-logging
Hey pals, I would love to learn from any of you who are pre-logging your meals and planning them out for the week. I used to log as I went throughout the day but I'm finding that is more challenging to do under new conditions. I'm especially interested in seeing food journals from people who eat relatively clean most of…

Those who post only body shots...
Why? We want to see your face too! Well I do... I mean, I guess "why not" works too. But if you have an answer, I'd like to hear your logic :) Just curious.

Problem with legs "bulking" due to leg day
I'm seeing progress in my legs but not the sort I was hoping for. Instead of my legs slimming down, it seems they are growing (in a muscley way for sure). For me, this is undesired. I'm really going for the lean look - not a girl who can lift like all the boys look. There's nothing wrong with that, in fact I appreciate…

"Fooducate" android app, anyone use it?
Trying out this android app called "fooducate." It's like MFP in the sense that it asks you age, weight, height, activity level, and gender. Difference is it doesn't TRACK calories or weight loss. Instead, it is a barcode scanner which also asks you what your goals are, giving you the following options: lose weight,…

Do you work an active job?
Meaning do you do more than stand on your feet in one spot or sit at a desk all day? If so, please share! I'm curious what fun active jobs exist out there.

Upper back pain from squatting with bar
I love doing squats but lately I've been experiencing pain on my upper spine (right below the neck area) from the pressure of the weight bar. If a bar with a pad is around, I definitely go for it, but if not, I fold up my face towel and put it underneath the bar. Still, with both of those cushions, I end up with the same…

Everyone has 30 day shred but me! Have a couple questions!
I want to join in but don't have the DVD's. Is there a free version floating around somewhere on the internet? Or should I just go ahead and buy the DVD's off Amazon? Also, I'm not the biggest fan of working out at my house. I live in a pretty small apartment with carpet flooring, which for whatever reason makes me less…

Things that have made it easier/better along the way!
Some things are too good to be true, while others are too good to be kept a secret! I've been using MFP for approximately 2 months now and have found a few things to be very helpful in keeping me motivated and on track, and of course a few things that haven't... but anyways, I'm absolutely in love with the following…

I don't want to eat 1200 cals forever...
I just don't! When I first started MFP, that's what I was doing. I was seeing results but I wasn't happy because I was constantly hungry. I lost about 9 lbs and felt pretty content with myself at that point so I decided I wasn't going to restrict to 1200 cals anymore. Well sure enough, I gained the weight back and now I'm…

My boyfriend wants to be supportive but....
So my boyfriend wants to know how he can be supportive of me along my weight loss journey but he doesn't really know how. He's of the few "lucky" ones who can eat anything their heart desires and not gain a pound. He doesn't always eat bad but he tends to pack in a lot of food after 9 or 10 pm, which is way after the point…
