Why am I feeling nauseous?
For the past 2 days I started doing some stretching and conditioning for around 20 mins. Afterwards though I feel really nauseous and I immediately drink water and eat a little bit of protein to try to make it stop. I'm not doing anything very strenuous!! I'm literally just sitting on my floor doing crunches and stretching…

Ladies 5 feet and shorter...
What is your net calorie number and goal weight? I'm 4'11" and I was wondering what other people my size are doing. I have not much luck so far with losing anything, weight or inches, except my confidence.

This makes absolutely no sense...
So over Christmas break, I ate an insane amount, went over my cals everyday almost, and didn't exercise for 2 weeks(I know that's bad), but I didn't gain that much weight from before the break. Afterwards though I wasn't going over my cals and exercising 3 times a week and when I weighted myself, I had gained weight! How…

Afraid I might becoming anorexic!
I started this 2 months ago and I have not lost any weight or inches. I was so excited when I first started because I thought it was actually going to help. After 6 weeks of this I gained 3 pounds so I freaked out and dropped my net calories considerably. It used to be 1350 a day but now It's about 1000 cals or even as low…

Family
It's so hard for me to be on a calorie deficit and try to eat healthily when my family doesn't. I live at home with my mom, dad, and sister. My sister ate 800 calories today at lunch and doesn't even realize it or feel bad about it while I am beating myself up for eating almost 1000 calories at dinner last night. My mom…

Eating problem :(
I have a problem where I eat when I'm bored but also just because the food tastes good. Like today at dinner I had one helping and wasn't hungry anymore but got another helping because I liked how the food tasted. And I guess it would be ok if it was veggies or something but no this was a bad, cheesy pasta dish with 300…

Completing your food diary
Do you have to complete your food diary every day? I like how it says the estimated weight you'll be in 5 weeks if you keep on eating the same amount of calories but does completing it have a purpose other than that? I usually don't complete it even though I log in every day.

Frustrated
I've been doing this for 2 months already but I haven't lost any weight or inches!!!!!! The first 6 weeks I always ate what I normally eat at the 1350 calories MFP told me to eat, going a little over or under a few days, but then after 1 week of eating a lot of cake, pie, and other junk food I gained 3 pounds. I cut back…

Net calories number keeps rising for no reason
For some reason my net calories number keeps rising and I didn't change my settings or anything. When I started this 7 weeks ago it was at 1340 then it rose to 1350 a few weeks later and now it's at 1360?? I don't get it. I have my deficit at 0.5 lbs a week or 250 calorie deficit. I did gain 3 lbs recently so could that be…

Too young
I hate it when people say 'oh you're too young to be worrying about your weight". I would rather become healthy at a younger age and live a long life than wait until it's too late and I have a medical issue or something. Actually I already have a medical condition that I was born with (a type of anemia) but it would…

Shins hurting after walking or running
My shins always hurt after I walk for a long period of time. I don't walk very fast. I also have flat feet which I think might affect it because don't your arches supposed to absorb the impact of your feet hitting the ground? Please reply.

How long until you reach "starvation mode"
For the past 6 weeks I've been doing this I've been eating at least 1300 calories but after a horrible week of over eating and gaining 3 lbs in 1 week, I started eating about 1000 cals for about 4 days. I lost a pound doing that but I'm not going to keep doing this, just for a few days because I've exercised a lot so my…

Motivation and friends needed!
For the past 6 weeks since I started this, I haven't lost any weight but this last week I did horribly and I gained 3 lbs!!! I am feeling depressed but I'm going to try extra hard to not eat so many processed food and to stay under my calories. My family doesn't support me so I would like more support from friends who are…

Muscle loss?
Will losing weight automatically make you lose muscle? I know you should not just do cardio but lift weights and such but I have a lot of muscle on my legs (I'm a dancer) and my arms and I don't want to lose it just because I lost weight. Also, I heard that eating a lot of protein will help with muscle gain but is it…

How do you cook veggies?
There are a lot of different ways to cook veggies. Most of them like broccoli, spinach, and green beans can be either steamed or boiled. Does it taste different or does it not matter how you cook it? I'm just curious.

Stomach hurting during exercise
Hi. Sometimes my stomach will start to hurt when I'm exercising and I don't know why. It's not cramps or hunger and I drink a lot of water. It usually goes away after I stop exercising. Sometimes it doesn't hurt very much but other times it will hurt so bad that I have to lie down. Thanks in advance for comments.

Salad problem
Hi. I like to eat salads with romaine lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers but my problem is that I don't like lettuce so in order to make it taste good, I drown it with dressing. Usually I have a raspberry dressing that is around 35 cal per 2 teaspoons. How do I make lettuce taste good without putting on so much dressing. I…

Portions of food
Hi. I was wondering how you eat the right portion of your food. It's easy for, let's say and apple, because the portion size is just 1 apple but if you are eating pasta or something and the portion size is 1 cup or 2 oz are you really going to use a measuring cup or kitchen scale to weigh it? I usually use serving spoons…

HELP! No self control :(
I'm having trouble controlling myself not to eat junk food and seconds or even thirds at dinner. Lately I've been eating unhealthy things like cookies, pie, cake, and meals with a huge amount of calories in them. It's hard to control my eating habits when the food is just sitting in the kitchen. I don't buy it myself but…

How long until you see results?
I heard that the heavier you are, the faster the you lose weight, and the skinnier you are, the harder it is to lose weight. Is this true? Because I am rather light but would like to lose inches off of my stomach and thighs and I haven't seen any difference since I started. How long did it take you to see results?
