So close to goal but just can't seem to get there
Ok, so I've lost 46 pounds in almost 11 months. When I started out, I was hoping to have lost 50 lbs by my birthday. My birthday is August 25th and it's so close I can taste it. However, I have been within 5 lbs of this goal for over a month now and I just gain and lose the same couple of pounds. I am at my wit's end. I…

Best exercises to lose fat? (Please!!!!!!!)
Ok. I just wanna make sure my thinking is right. Cardio gets rid of fat. Weight training builds muscle which can burn more calories. Ideally, a mix of the two is the best. I'm in the middle of the Shred, 6 days a week. Before that, I had been exercising (usually circuit training videos or elliptical) 3-4 times a week. I've…

The next step?
Ok, so I've been doing this for 140 days now. I've lost 29 lbs but I've seemed to hit a plateau. I have at least 30 more lbs to lose before I'm healthy so I'm anxious to get back on track. I was on 1210 net and was keeping to that pretty well. I decided that with the plateau that I might want to up my calories a bit so I…

I jumped back on the bandwagon…

40/30/30 diaries
Hi there! I've been with mfp for 125 days now and have had moderate success. I am looking to kick it up a notch and focus a bit more on my diet and "clean" it up a bit. Nothing too crazy, baby steps. Anyway, I was looking for menu ideas that would help me bump up the protein and cut back a little on the carbs. I would…

Having ladies over for coffee and need recipes
Hi there! I am having members of my MOMS Club over for coffee on Friday. Since there are several of us on MFP, I thought that it would be nice to offer some healthier options to our usual streudel, donuts and coffee cake. Do any of you have some tried and true recipes you would be willing to share. It would be at 9am so I…

New to you
Hi there. I'm a MFP newbie. Actually, I think I joined two years ago but didn't follow up. Last year, I had a little bit of success losing weight (with a website that shall not be named). However, I found tracking to be a bit of a pain and i eventually got lazy and regained. I'm rejoined this group because I'm jealous of…
