NSV's
Today I did something I didn't think I'd ever do again.. at least not by choice. I tucked my shirt in... and it actually looks better than it did out, because it was so big for me. before, I never wanted to tuck anything in because it emphasized the stomach pooch and the muffin top. Also, yesterday I went for a bike ride…

Exercise = No More Losing?
When I first started with MFP I was not exercising, just counting cals, and I lost pretty quickly and steadily. Then I added exercise and I pretty much stalled on my weight loss... I haven't measured yet, but I haven't noticed an inches loss either. I'm not eating my exercise cals back, but I do eat a lot more on the…

Which is more important?
I am rarely home weekends and evenings (busy kids schedules and other activities) and therefore eat out a lot. I do really well during the week staying at or under my calorie goals, but usually go way over on the weekends. I don't usually eat any of my exercise calories back during the week, because I figured it would…

30 Day Shred Question
I know that the most effective and accurate way to log a calorie burn is with a HRM, but I can't afford one right now. I'm saving up though :) In the meantime... what do you find to be the most accurate way to log a 30DS workout? If you have a HRM have you ever compared the numbers that MFP would give you with different…

30 Day Shred with Knee Sprain
I sprained my knee about 4 weeks ago and I'm still having trouble with swelling and stiffness, especially if I've been standing/walking most of the day. I'd like to start the 30DS soon, but I know there are going to be things I can't do. Is it easy enough to modify for one bad knee, or should I avoid it altogether?

Overweight!
I just realized that with yesterday's weigh in, that I dropped out of the obese category... I can't wait to step on the wii and NOT hear it say "that's obese"! 14 lbs down.... 50 more to go...

So Hungry!
The last two days it seems I'm hungry ALL the time... I eat what should be a filling meal and less than an hour later I'm hungry again. The same meals last week would have had me struggling at the end of the day to get up to my calorie goal. Could my metabolism have jumped into overdrive for some reason? Any suggestions on…

Double Digits!
Wahoo! This morning's weigh in put me a double digits lost... it's kind of exciting, while I know that I can't expect that kind of progress to continue regularly, I love looking at my calendar and seeing where I would be if I really could keep at 10 lbs every 3 1/2 weeks!

How Would You Log?
I keep cut up fresh veggies in my fridge for snacking... if I eat say, two baby carrots, two slices of cucumber, two grape tomatoes, and two florets of broccoli for a snack (I like variety).. how would I log it? log each one individually? Make a recipe for it? Quick add an estimate? Or don't log it at all - just the hummus…

Exercise With a Knee Injury
I twisted my knee last week and seem to have sprained it... I don't want to go weeks without exercising, I'll never want to get started again. Does anyone have any suggestions of anything I can do in the meantime?

1200 Cal/day... can you really make the goals match up?
I've just started tracking (less than 2 weeks) and while I've stayed at or just under my calorie goal every day (except for one splurge day) I can't seem to make any of the goals match up. I'm ALWAYS over in protein, sugar, and fiber, and almost always under in carbs and fat. Can anyone help? My diary is open, what do I…

Splurge Meals
If you do splurge/cheat meals on the 90/10 principle do you usually do them both in the same day or spread them out over two days?
