Am I to simple for the MFP system?
I may be being dumb but there are lots of people wanting to make weight loss more complicated that in seems to be. I came into this and figured out how many calories I'm eating a day and maintaining a steady weight, by logging for a few days. I saw how low MFP said I could go on Calories and I laughed that I wouldn't eat…

Can't live without your Pizza?
http://www.recipegirl.com/2012/01/16/cauliflower-crust-hawaiian-pizza/ We just tried this recipe, tweaked it so I had bacon, onion and mushrooms and split it between two of us. Calorie count was a little under 500 calories for half of it and it gives you your pizza fix, all in all very healthy

Cruise Ship Dining
My wife and I like going on cruises because we can get away from work, no internet and no phones. So no logging on MFP when we go in September. How would you do your logging, Does anyone know if there are any cheat books with info on things like this, Kindle friendly would be even better. I suspect not so I'm thinking I'm…

Exercise and my stupid defective head
My wife and I have decided to do the 30 day shred and I think I have to come up with a way to do organize it better. A brief history - There is something wrong with my head, every now and again I am completely off balance, kind of like walking on a swaying ship but without the ship. Lots of trips and tests late they see…

Shredded Calories
Has anyone done any rough calculations on 27m of torture from the 30 day shred. We started it today and came to the conclusion we aren't flexible enough, yet! :wink: I don't really eat the exercised calories but I'd like to add them in if anyone has any rough ideas how to calculate them? Thanks

Things you didn't thing burnt calories?
Riding Lawn Mower, Strength Exercise? :smile: OK This is a little tongue in cheek but I'm seriously considering adding the Riding Lawn Mower as a strength exercise. I just did 3 acres on pretty steep hills which mean's lots of holding the tractor, high effort turns and balancing the tractor to stop the wheels slipping…

A good workout, a smidge of salt
I seem to remember growing up that when you sweat you lose water and salt in your body. I've noticed that when I do a good workout the following food tastes bland and I need to add a touch of salt. Interesting really because I've never had salt on my food till now (except McDonalds fries). I think the need for a bit of…

Awesome Job by my Wife
Since we aren't really telling everyone around us about out weight loss I think I should post here about the awesome job my wife is doing, not only does she help me out by weighing in all the food, she has lost 12lbs! Based on some clothes last night I think that is a dress size or two as well. That's 25% of her goal!!! I…

Do you "Top Off" Calories?
Since I cut out the Soda and cut out the wine from my diet I'm suddenly WAY under my recommended calories. Usually a 150 calorie breakfast and lunch, a slimfast bottle for snack and about a 600 calorie dinner brings me just over the 1000 calorie mark. MFP suggests I should be at 1500-1800 calories a day depending on how…

Couples losing it together
I was just reading another post about un-supportive spouses and things they say, but I hadn't come across a post about couples that are supportive. My wife and I are both working on losing weight (her more successfully than me) but I think both of us working together works well. We do build a lot of sarcasm into everything…

Stalled before I've started
For as long as I can remember I've weighed between 242lbs and 248lbs. I should weigh in at about 200 (although the government says that should be 180 :/ ). I just can't seem to get my body to start losing weight though. After not eating much for a few days, drinking gallons of water and exercising like crazy and I still…

Weight loss and Long days
I'm hoping someone can help with some motivational ideas here? I'm usually up at 6:15 and in the office by 7am, get in again about 6pm and really don't feel like I have any energy to exercise. Breakfast used to be nothing, but has been upgraded to a Slimfast shake. Lunch is a tough one? What can I bring to eat that is…
