Need some help regarding sodium intake
I am having the hardest time trying to keep my salt (sodium) intake to 1500 -2400. I would say I average closer to 3000. I am trying to lower it, by eating fruits and vegetables and not eating as many processed foods, but I am not going to live on the "perfect diet", so here I am. I am getting better, but again not…

need help or maybe advice
I am on a 6 month plan to lose 192,500 calories or in theory 55 pounds. That is a daily deficit of a little more than 1000 calories per day during that time. I am doing fine with this, in fact slightly ahead of schedule after about 30 days. I couldn't do this without a lot of exercise, I get too hungry. AND when I exercise…

Need some help
I have been back on here again and just finished week 3. I lost 63 pounds two years ago with MFP and then for some stupid reason, I thought I could do it myself. Anyway, I gained most of the 63 back and am now back. In 3 weeks, I have lost about 9 pounds, but here is the problem. I am eating up to 3000 calories a day and…

Need help
My goals are to eat 1750 calories a day. I can't do that, I am finding it hard lately to stay around 2400 to 2500. I give tennis lessons and I will eat fruit and ham sandwiches and sugar free pudding and a ton of water throughout an eight hour day of tennis and after I go do my workout. I typically do 2 hours of cardio or…

Very excited
I have lost 42 pounds since Dec. 27. People are telling me daily how they can't believe the change in me. How skinny I am in the face, lost the waist etc. etc. It feels good. I am exercising very heavily now that I am semi back in shape. Workouts have become very intense. My caloric intake has gone from averaging 1800 to…

Thank Goodness, A Big Mistake
I weighed my daughter this morning, a whopping 34 pounds and it was the first time that I noticed that the scale goes in increments of 2, not 1. So I actually have been losing weight at the same rate as my calorie deficit and am now at 232 as opposed to 236. Very happy about this development. Thanks to those who were so…

scales
I really liked my scale until about 1 week and 4 days ago, when it quit moving so much. Are there scales out there that give an accurate pound and ounce electronic measurement, so I can delight in at least losing a few ounces when I check. I thought this was going to be easy, but now I see it as a struggle, I hope this is…

still concerned
What am I doing wrong? Dec. 28 - Jan. 22, I dropped 24 pounds, and it was more than double my calorie deficit, which said I should have lost 10 pounds, or a total deficit of 35,000 calories. Jan. 23- Jan 31, I lost 1.5 pounds, and had a calorie deficit to lose 4.5 pounds. Total calorie deficit of a little over 16,000…

need some calorie counting help
Thanks for any help in advance. Here is the situation. I give tennis lessons for anywhere from 5 to 8 hours a day. If I am actually playing with my student, I put down tennis on exercise and use that(but I rarely go hard, like I would when I am playing a match). When I am just feeding balls and teaching or demonstrating,…

Diet Coke
I read somewhere that you should stay away from all soda, why are the diet drinks like Diet coke so bad for you. I need some help here as I have been treating myself once or twice a week and will stop if it is hurting me. Thanks in advance for any information.

Why is this happening
Ok, anyone have this happening. The first 3 1/2 weeks, 24 pounds, the last 7 days, 1 pound, but during the past 7 days, I can see my face is getting skinnier, others have noticed too, and my pants fit much looser, I am still in the obese stage (237 at 5'11") so if these things are happening, then why is the weight not…

Can anyone give me some jumpstarts that work
It is starting to get harder to lose weight. The weight fell off the first few weeks, now I am on my 4th day at 238. My calorie deficit over that time shows about 6500 calories. For some background info, I am slowly giving up coffee, I was about 35 oz per day and now I am down to about 24, I am going slow so I don't get…

Interesting question about the calorie deficit.
I tracked the last 21 days, from Jan. 1 to Jan 21. I had actually started before that but just did the tracking at that time. I was at 257 on 1/1 and dropped to 239 on 1/21. I am very happy with that, BUT..... I tracked my calorie deficit during that time using this sites program and I had a deficit of 27, 557 calories.…

Fruit sugars
can someone help me on sugars in food. I am trying to cut down my intake of sugars as they are wasted calories. I have been eating a lot of bananas and apples, but when I was looking at the food chart, I noticed that they had a lot of sugar. Is there good and bad sugars, or should I be laying off these fruit items too.…
