the Scale and I are not in good terms right now!!
So frustrated right now! I have finally got the motivation and momentum back to start working out and tracking everything ( I mean EVERYTHING) that I eat on MFP!

Eating at night, but within calories
Hi all, Years ago I remember people telling me "To lose weight you don't want to eat past 7pm". But to me, that is like Chinese torture. I run a home daycare, so am busy all day long (from 7am until 5:30pm) and then have 2 young children to look after. So needless to say, after 7:30 is when I sit down and have some "me"…

Do you eat your calories back that you burn
Just wondering how others treat the calories they burn doing exercise? I ran today and burned 720 calories. I ate 400 of them back, but don't want to eat them all as I feel it defeats the purpose of exercise. Also, just wondering how many calories others eat and how much they work out? I eat 1500 calories ( Sometimes more)…

Sometimes i feel that the 1410 calories is enough, but there are days (like…

Some of you have been following my progress over the past few months. I started my journey September 19th at 255.2 ( my highest being in March 2012 at 266lbs) I decided that it was time to do something for myself. So I joined Weight Watchers, and then the gym a couple weeks later. I decided that it was silly to pay a big…
