Carb Cycling being awake for 24 hours
On Thurday thru Sunday I work my second job overnight. This means that sometimes I am up for 24 hours. Chris Powell wrote a book called Choose To Lose that is excellent. He talks about carb cycling. High carb, low carb. high... etc. He suggests five meals a day three hours apart. How do I carb cycle with my crazy schedule?…

How low can you go?
I am a 42 year old woman, 5'2. Just turned 42 yesterday!!! Anyways... I want to lose a pound or two a week. I am moderatley active, I have three jobs.. most of them on my feet. 1200 calories seems to low for my daily calorie intake. Do you think I could go up to 1300 or so and still lose a pound or two a week? Any input…

I have been on a diet since I was twelve...
I don't know why I keep doing this to myself. Since I was 12 I have been on a "diet". I have been anywhere from 100 pounds ( a little anorexia in there) to 200 pounds. I currently weigh about 160. It's not the number that bothers me. I want to lose about 30 pounds. I know i can do it. I guess I just need advice how to get…

I wish I was a little bit smaller...I wish I was a baller....
How much weight can you safely lose in a week? I am 5'2, 41 years old and weigh about 155. I am thinking about 125 would be an awesome weight for me. I have three jobs that are on my feet all day. I could work more exercise into my life still though. Thoughts? Comments??

Losing one pound a week possible?
I am 5'2, 41 years old. I am active with all my jobs but don't really exercise. I feel like when I only eat 1200 calories a day I am STARVING. :neutral_face: Not trying to do any crazy fad "diet", just woild like to lose a pound or two a week. I currently weigh 152. I would be happier in the 130's :smile: Suggestions?…

Vodka and bad food choices.
I am coming here asking for advice. I love this site. In March 2012 until August 2012 I lost forty pounds. I was also sober. For 16 months. In June I had a slip and since October I have been drinking almost everyday again. I drank for 3 and a half years, first as a crutch because my mom died and then out of habit. I don't…

Thinking about joining weight watchers
I am having a hard time lately. I love MFP. I lost thirty pounds last year. Since October I have been struggling. I keep trying different things.. Clean eating, carb cycling, IF. I lost direction. I feel I need to be accountable for my weight. I am thinking Weight Watchers might be good for me right now. There is no sign…

This or Weight Watchers?
I have done both and been successful with both. Last year I lost 40 pounds on MFP. Don't know what happened but I lost my way. I have gained ten of the forty pounds I lost back. I know it's mind over matter, I am a strong ***** when I want to be! Thoughts? I'm sad and confused.

Why is this time so hard?
I joined last March and was successful until around October. I lost forty pounds, then proceeded to gain ten. I don't understand why I can't get back on track. I have been dieting off and on since I was 14. I know what to do. I can't explain why I feel this way. Everyday I wake up with great intentions. Sometimes I do…

What's the difference? Has anyone seen results with these lifestyles?

Can't afford books on Paleo
I want to embrace the Paleo lifestyle. I know a little bit from some friends that have been VERY successful. Can anyone give me some tips and or websites that I can look up the subject? Any experiences you can share will also be helpful. Thank you so much! Michele

Icebreaker (stealing this!) :)
I am addicted (like really really addicted... might need a 12 step program soon) to chocolate sprinkles (jimmies) and hate water. What do you love and hate? I need support because I have been struggling... please feel free to add me as your friend! Michele

Just can't stay motivated
I love my fitness pal. Last year I lost thirty five pounds. I can't seem to get motivated. I think when I hit a plateau I started looking for a solution. Weight watchers, paleo, carb cycling, intermittent fasting... I don't know what approach to take and feel disappointed. Any advice is appreciated.. also if you would add…

How does weight watcher points convert on mfp?
I love my fitness pal but have been having a little trouble lately. . Last year I lost forty pounds and since Christmas have gained eight back. Out of desperation I joined Weight Watchers.

Carb Cycling on a crazy schedule.
I have two jobs. Thursday thru Sunday I work overnight. On these days between the two jobs I am up at times for 24 hours straight. How can I carb cycle when Chris Powell suggests eating only five meals a day every three hours? I did Carb Cycling for four days and felt amazing. (a little tired on low carb days but I guess…

Fruits and Vegtables
I feel like lately I am hungry a lot. Has anyone here been successful on the principles of Weight Watchers? I believe they let you eat all the fruits and vegtables you want. I am just feeling that 1200 calories is not a lot and trying to find a way to feel more satified. Thoughts?

gym itimidation
I joined a gym about a month ago after seeing so many other of mfp friends burn a lot of calories. I have worked up to about a half hour on the elliptical machine. My gym membership also includes all the classes such as yoga, pilates, cardio kickboxing and zumba. I am intimidated by the classes as well as the other…

Any help from my MFP family would be appreciated :)
I have been at a plateau for about three months. I think it all started because I picked up a second job four nights a week overnight. I obsess about food more now because I am awake longer. I am not as strict as I was in the beginning but I rarely go over 1200-1400 calories a day. I try to walk for one hour four times a…

Please don't skip over my post... I need help!
Hi. My name is Michele. I have lost forty pounds with mfp since Feb. I am super proud of myself. Since June I have only been able to take off ten. I stopped eating salads because I ate them every day for four months straight, so at night I tend to eat a bowl of steamed vegetables instead. My biggest problem is from six at…

Anyone start eating clean only to obsess about food?
A friend on here suggessted I eat clean. I found the more I tried to do this the more I started obsessing about food. One of my biggest downfalls are air popped popcorn and fiber bars (south beach is a favorite) I don't know what to think anymore...carbs? Good or bad? Eating clean? The way to go? I have been stuck at a…
