Anyone ever kicked the "yo yo" habit?
Over the past few years, I've been yo yo dieting, and I always end up disappointed in the end when I gain it back. My first big body change was after I got out of basic training in 2009 from the Army and was about 155 and a size 4...holy muscles. Then I started college and 35 lbs crept on; I transferred universities…

I blew my day :(
Yesterday, I went shopping out shopping with my boyfriend, and since we had a coupon for Chipotle (BOGO burrito), we decided to save some money and stop there for dinner. Unfortunately, I thought what I got wouldn't be terrible, since I wasn't planning on eating the tortilla (coupon didn't count for the bowl)...but I did…

Snoring?
I gained quite a bit of weight in the past year (the 35 back that I had worked so hard to lose. ugh), and my boyfriend told me that I snore sorta loudly. Of course I told him to wake me up or tell me to turn on my side if I'm on my back, but when I'm sleeping a lone, there isn't a way for me to tell if I'm snoring. Has…

Dining out too frequently with friends
My friends and I are in our twenties, and we tend to go out often when we see each other. Most of the time, I do pretty well at restaurants, and I finally figured out that an appetizer is usually plenty for me to eat without feeling hungry or deprived. However it seems like all we end up doing is going out to eat or going…

Boyfriend hindering my progress
I've been with my boyfriend for about half of a year, and this has the potential to be a very successful relationship. He's great and I couldn't be happier, however weight is becoming an issue with both of us. Since the start of the relationship, I gained 10 lbs and felt my clothes getting tight, so I joined Weight…

I'm stuck!!
I've been really good with both diet and exercise lately. I record everything I eat, I weigh, measure and really keep track. I'm eating whole, natural foods and not a lot of processed junk...but I'm stuck and I'm so frustrated. I've been hovering around the same weight for a month and I'm about to cry. I work out about 3-4…

Weight loss not reflected by MFP
I've lost 8.2 lbs so far on MFP, however this isn't reflected in my ticker nor on the side banner when I log in. I've tracked my weight once a week using the "weigh in" button on the left hand side of the screen when I log in, and my correct weights are recorded in the "reports" section...but my ticker doesn't change. Am I…

Calories Burned on Machines
I worked out on a new brand of elliptical and treadmill today at the gym (the TVs are higher so I dont have to look down when I run) and I at the end of my workout, I noticed that the calories I burned were much higher than on the machines I usually use, by about 75 calories over a half hour time frame. The counts are also…

Difficulty Reaching Calorie min
I'm allotted 1200 calories per day, and I've had difficulty reaching that amount. I mean, I've obviously vastly exceeded 1200 calories per day in the past (otherwise I wouldn't have to lose weight haha) but I've changed my eating habits and I'm exercising everyday, and I find it very hard to eat all 1200. I stick to a…

No appetite
During the past week, I've just had no appetite. I eat breakfast (my biggest meal, and I struggle through it), and a light lunch, and a very light dinner usually. I was able to eat last night when I went out with one of my girlfriends for late night grub, but I wasn't really in the mood for it. Has anyone else gone through…

Gaining Weight, but not cheating
I've been trying to lose weight for about three weeks now, and even though I haven't gone over on calories, and I've been exercising about 4 times per week, my numbers keep climbing. (Up 2 lbs from when I started) My weigh-in day is Thursday, and I was so excited to get on the scale yesterday because I felt like I had done…
