Cheat days and logging - thoughts?
Sooo I just started back up again with MFP. Sundays are my cheat days. Some of the foods I eat aren't even countable. Example: I went to Mazatlan last night and had dinner and part of a fried ice cream. My question: Do you think it would be considered "fair" for me to still log in, even if I'm not counting to avoid from…

Higher than I was when I first signed up...
Is there a way to change where I started from on this site, weight wise? I started at 245, then lost weight, then gained it all back. Now, when I lose weight, it doesn't tell me my total lost because I started lower. When I'm done and at the 160 I want to be at by the end of this year, I want to see it say "has lost 100…

Starting Over.
2 years ago, I lost 40 pounds with this site. However, through my marriage breaking up and stressful situations in general, I have gained that plus many more back. I decided to start over. I need friends that can be motivating and that will also stick with counting, even if they do go over. I want to be held accountable to…

Decisions
Okay, so I came back about a week and a half ago, and I've been going strong, under everyday, and being healthy... Today, I was at work, I didn't have much time to eat at all, didn't get even a 10 minute break... So my question... I have 700 calories left, I'm craving mcdonalds, which I haven't had in quite a while...…

Zumba Alternatives
Okay.. So have the DVDs, Have the Kinect game, go to classes... Classes are my favorite because we use the contemporary music, popular hits, etc. I want to know if there is any way to do something like it at home, without going through the same old routines and songs, they get old.. I love the dancing and moving, but I'd…

Coping with not eating out
I've come to realize I can not eat out without going overboard... so new rule: no going out to eat. I'm done.. Not even at work (Taco bell) unless it's a salad with no dressing, etc. I'm done being stupid.. It's hard being busy with work, but I'm done making excuses.. I just wish my husband was more supporting.. He doesn't…

Accountability
Need some more accountability partners.. I want to be obsessed with this, or else I'll just give up. i know better.. It's either all or nothing. I'm 21, married for a little over a year, and have a beautiful almost 3 year old daughter with my husband. I started my journey at 245, got down to 215, then back up to 226.. Need…

Work food
I need some ideas for food to take to work.. I need new things, not the same thing every time... I work at taco bell, so it gets hard to not eat there.. I don't mind having one thing there every once in a while, but it's way TOO easy to go crazy there.... We do not have access to a microwave (which is what kills me) and my…
