Calcium Tracking on MFP
Can anyone tell me how MFP shows calcium on the food log? I know that 1 oz of light mozzarella string cheese contains roughly 279 mg of calcium. My MFP food log says 15 for the string cheese. I'm confused.

Snacks
I am looking for healthy portable snacks for work. I'm looking for ones that provide protein and carbs but that are low fat. I do not want any highly processed snacks with the exception of maybe some string cheese. I love fruit but it leaves me more hungry at the end of the snack.. I love cooked vegetables but not raw…

Question about Exercise Calories
I have been wondering about this for a little while now. When I entered my goals into my MFP profile the system asked me how much I exercised and I answered 5 times per week for 30 minutes a day. The system responded with the number of calories I should eat per day. I get that part. BUT When I record my exercise - do I…

Walking Question???
History: I'm out of shape and overweight. I just came in from a 1 mile walk and I waked at a brisk pace for me (in fact I'm still,l ahem, sweating a bit) and my breathing is returning to normal. However, since it took me nearly a half an hour do I mile so according the the mfp exercise choices this would be a moderate pace…

Hitting a Wall
I've been on MFP since September and lost 10 pounds. I have 32 more to go. This last couple of weeks things have been falling apart diet wise. I think it is my emotional state. My whole identity is that of a fat person. It is how I think of myself; it's how I always think of myself. Even back when I was thin I thought of…

PLEASE HELP
I've been doing MFP for 135 days (since the end of September) and I have lost 10 pounds. But at this point in time (early February) I have lost my motivation. This last week I have become cranky, tired, and discouraged. I'm angry at myself and I just feel like going off the whole program. I KNOW that's not in my best…

Workout clothes
I have no workout clothes. I just wear my jeans and a t shirt when I ride my stationary cycle. Where is the best place for plus size workout clothes? I tried Target and wasn't crazy about the selection - and everything there was very small. I wear a size 18 - 20 jeans. Where do you find good workout clothes.

Waiting for results
I had a biopsy of a breast nodule this morning. Now, I'm eating everything in sight. The radiologist thinks it was a cyst so I'm not too worried about the results - but still - it's stressful. I was told to not do anything today so exercise is out. Maybe a little gentle walking would be okay even if only for 10 minutes.…

Question regarding stress and weight loss.
Does stress affect our metabolism? I mean can it change how our bodies work so weight loss becomes more difficult? I'm not thinking in terms of our response to stress as in eating more to become numb or for comfort. I'm wondering about the physiology of stress and how our bodies adapt to it? Anyone know?

70 days on MFP
I went on my first diet 40 some years ago when I was 11 years old. My eating was monitored by my parents for the rest of the years that I lived with them. During the 1970's I was unsuccessful on Weight Watchers. In fact I couldn't stay on the program more than 3 weeks before I went back to my old eating habits. I spent…

Thanksgiving dinner plan
I'm going to a Thanksgiving dinner tonight at my church. Here is my plan: Exercise (done, 40 minutes on the stationary cycle) eat a good size breakfast, then a light lunch and a late afternoon snack of yogurt and fruit. This leaves me about 600 calories for dinner. 3 to 4 oz turkey, 1/2 C mashed potatoes, no stuffing (sad,…

What do you do on a really bad day?
I woke up with a horrible headache this morning- I took some Excedrine and the headache is now down to a dull throb. But I'm in a bad mood; a really, really bad mood. There is no reason for it that I can see. It is one of those days where I want to eat everything in sight and forget the consequences. I can not let this…

Weekend Eating
I seem to do really well during the week on this program. I'm at work and my days are really structured. It's the weekends that are difficult. I seem to fight cravings all day long. I don't like that my whole focus during the day is food. I record everything but I hate that clawing, ravenous head hunger - always wanting…

ACK What's up with the scale?
Seriously, what is up with my body (or the scale)? Friday I weighed 191which is a 1 pound loss from when I started. Today I weighed (I know, I know I shouldn't have) and I was up to 194.3. What is up with that? Could it be the slice of Pizza I had on Friday or too much salt, or the fact that I went over my calorie goal by…

Ravenous after work.
Does anyone else come home from work absolutely ravenous? It happen when I worked 8 to 2 and now that I am working 8 to 5 it is still happening. Only it's worse now. I plan and have a snack late in the afternoon but by the time I get home I feel like I'm starving. I am beginning to think it is emotional. Or maybe it is…

My is Deb and it seems as if I have struggled with my weight my whole life. It's closer to the truth to say that I have struggled with my body image my whole life. What IS the truth now is that I need to lose weight to be healthier and have more vitality. What is different about this time is that for the last year or so I…
