Pregnancy nutrition
So I'm about 9 weeks along with my first one, and I'm not quite sure what to do as far as eating and exercising now (my first OB appointment is Monday and I just found out I'm pregnant). What should my calorie goal be? I keep hearing that with exercise, that if I've been doing it, keep doing it as long as it safe (i.e. no…

What do you do for clothes while you're losing weight?
I've gone down a size, so my clothes are going to start getting baggy on me....I can't afford to go out and buy new clothes everytime things start getting lose. I just went and bought about 50$ worth from Goodwill. What do you do?

Someone asked ME for advice on Facebook! This is the earful
As a preface, a read a topic awhile back dealing with life at the goal weight. The person said that what sucks is that people ask him all the time how he did it, and never seem happy when he responds with diet and exercise. Well I wouldn't be happy with that either! I'm sure people want to know specifics. You know, how to…

Death in the family is motivating me
A distantly related family member recently passed away from a heart-attack. At age 55. He was obese...watching football in his recliner and had a massive heart-attack and died almost immediately. If that's not motivation, I don't know what is. I'm sorry for his immediate family in their loss, but I am determined that is…

How do you combat "workout hair?"
I'm in the military, so usually during the week my hair is pulled back. Sometimes I work off base though and I "get" to actually do my hair. My problem is that from working out all the time, my hair is getting so greasy...but if I wash it, it dries out so quickly. Then there's the fact of how long it takes to do my…

People trying to discourage me!
So myfitnesspal links to my facebook account, and since I've been exercising so much lately, all that shows up on Facebook is myfitnesspal stuff! So someone messages me and wants to know why I'm bothering with losing so much weight -- I should be happy with myself the way I am; there is nothing wrong with being overweight;…

It's amazing what two weeks can do!
I still have a ways to, but I'm in for the long haul this time! I've basically been making sure to have a bigger calorie output than input, and burn at least 500 calories a day. I'm doing P90X ATM, along with military PT.

Is splenda really an ok alternative to sugar?
I love, absolutely LOVE sweet tea, and plain tea just hasn't cut it with me. Can I just order unsweet tea when I go out to eat and add splenda? If so, how much?

Got under that "plateau" weight (by 1.2 pounds) and now I'm
My weight usually hovers between 195-205 (seriously, I can be 205 one day and 195 the next), but I have the hardest time getting below 195, and then keeping it off. Usually when I do, something screwy happens in my brain and I think, ok, I'm doing good, I can afford a cheat food. Then I just give up and gain it all back.…

I want the old me back!!!!
I used to be so thin, I never realized how lucky I was! Then I went on Birth Control about 6 years ago, and my metabolism metaphorically just stopped. I gained 50 lbs over night and since then I've been yo-yo-ing with an extra 10 lbs. I never learned good eating habits at home, I was just plain lucky growing up. My mom was…

Starting Today -- With pic
Okay, I thought I was doing well, but thinking back to my eating habits, and my yo-yo exercising habits, I can see why I am at 201 lbs. Sooo... I'm gonna try to update this everyweek. It's hard to tell with different clothes on, so all the rest will be with the same type of clothes, i.e. my workout clothes. I hate that…
