Need some motivation, please :)
Hi, all! I'm back after gaining much of the 50 pounds I lost some years ago. Even though I want to get back to where I was, I'm finding myself hindered by my own constant whiny self "omgguhh I want to be thin but what's the point I'll probably gain it back anyway ugh boo-hoo me." Has anyone any ideas for getting motivated…

Halloween predicament!
So, it's Halloween and I'm going to be drinking a little with my boyfriend and some friends tonight. I've got myself some Smirnoff Ice Light (no idea if it's any good, but it's low in calories!) and I'm going to exercise to be able to drink these things later. However, my friends are getting upset with me because I refuse…

Should I eat?
So, I've been getting good workouts lately (500-600 calories burned each time), and I have been trying to eat my exercise calories like I should. I spread them out throughout the day, but sometimes I am just not hungry. Should I still eat all of them to avoid a deficit or should I just skip the food when I'm not hungry?…

Anybody know Assyrian foods?
My boyfriend is Assyrian, and we went to his aunt's house for his birthday supper on Saturday. She made wonderful beef and chicken kabobs, some kind of rice that I absolutely cannot get enough of, and lots of other tasty things. I got those in my diary okay, I just used generic things (although for the rice I don't know if…

Upping my calories?
So, I've lost 20 pounds since I started here, but had a little plateau for about a month before I really understood all the eating your exercise calories thing. I also upped my calories a little, and that seems to be helping. My question is this: How do I know when to up my calories more? MFP has never asked me if I want…

Determine Your Body's Daily Calorie Needs - Article
***I used the The Harris-Benedict formula (BMR based on total body weight) formula, and then calculated my own 500 calorie deficit and came out to 1340 calories a day, a little more than what MFP says I should eat. ****This article also has equations for people trying to gain weight.

HRM calories burned
So, I have a Polar HRM and I just love it, but I was wondering about one of the functions. It will say, for instance, 300 calories burned, 60% fat. What does this mean, and what was the other 40% I burned?

Which exercise should I do?
Okay, I have been walking almost every day since I started this whole thing, and while I just lovelovelove it, I think I need to incorporate something new on top of it for like two or three days a week just to give my body something new to do, and to maybe jump start some toning. I have lost a couple inches with walking,…

How did you...
Break the snacking habit? My particular habit is always snacking when I study or read a book (which I do a lot!). I've been doing really well this summer, especially with the help of MFP. But, when I go back to school in the fall, I'm really worried that I'm going to have an overwhelming urge to snack while doing homework…

I'm just curious...
I had good, delicious, greasy pizza yesterday for the first time in a LONG time. And wouldn't you know it, I got sick! Do you think it was because of the grease (my mom suggested that's what it was!), and if so, why would my body have such adverse reactions to it now if it never has before? Just wondering! :smile:

Losing a pound a day?
Hello, my name is Kristy and I am new to this site. This is a great program, and it really helps me get my exercise in all the time.
