Is there anyway to control where you lose the weight?
I don't have too much weight to lose, but most of what I have I carry in my hips, thighs and butt. I've been watching my calories, and doing light to moderate exercise. I always focus on exercises that work out my thighs, like walking, running and using my mini trampoline, and I also do strength training exercises for my…

Went Overboard
Yesterday was our annual family bbq with the whole family.:grumble: In the morning and early afternoon I ate some healthy snacks to try to fill up so I wouldn't overdo it....but I ended up eating everything even with a full stomach.

"Diet" Soda Pop
Ok....so I know that diet pop can't be good for you, but since it is 0 calories I have found myself stopping at the McDonald's drive-thru and getting a Coke Zero as a pick-me-up instead of getting a latte at the coffee shop. I know it can't be healthy, but has anyone looked into what's so bad about it?? This is in part for…

Hourly Weight Fluctuations
Ok, so I always weigh myself at the same time: first thing in the morning, before eating or drinking anything, but after going pee lol, and that's how I've been tracking my weight loss. However, if I do weigh myself at any other time of day, my weigh varies up to 2 lbs (increase :noway: ) Should I be taking the heaviest…

Ok, so I'm in college and working during the summer to earn money. I live in a beach town and so my job is at a snack bar that serves fresh squeezed lemonade, grapefruit-ade (like lemonade, but with grapefruits :love: ) and miniature, fresh, hot-to-order donuts (that run a good 70 cal a pop). Any tips on how to resist my…

200 Cal Challenge
Ok, here's my challenge: what is the highest amount of nutirtious, filling food you can fit into a 200-calorie meal? It can be any meal you want, breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack. The only limit is that it has to be 200 calories. Just for fun, although I just might steal an idea or two :wink:

MFP Exercise Log
How do I know if the exercise log is accurately calculating the calories burned? Today my boyfriend and I went cross-country hiking in the woods, and got lost haha, so it ended up being 2.5 hours of hiking. But, when I entered it, it said I burned 799 cal, which seems a little high. Am I underestimating myself? Or could…
