The big dirty 30
Hello MFP'ers! My girlfriend has been in the works of planning this crazy surprise thing for my 30th bday. Apparently it's a two day thing and I have to find a dress that I "feel beautiful in". Uhhh... ...the way I look now, that is NOT happening! I need to lose about 20 pounds by April 16th, which I think is totally…

Daily, weekly, or monthly caloric count?
I know mfp sets up daily calorie goals, but would an average work well for weight loss? To be a little more clear, let's say my daily goal is 1500. One day I eat 1200, another day I eat 2300, another day it's 1600, the next 1450, etc etc. However, over the course of a week or month, I still make my goal *average*. Would I…

So delicious I *have* to share!
Chobani key lime flip...only 180 calories and tastes like a decadent dessert! I hardly ever post about food ('cause I love it all :) ) but darn, this is delicious! I wouldn't want anyone to miss out! <3

Herbalife versus protein shakes
I'm not too educated on how herbalife works or what it really is, but I do get the jist of two shakes a day and a sensible meal. Would two protein shakes instead of herbalife work the same? I don't want to spend any extra money on something if I have a good enough substitute. Thanks!

vegetarians!
I don't know what's gotten into me but I cannot for the life of me make it to 1200-1500 net without going over. I don't even know whether its me being truly hungry, or just truly enjoying the act of eating. Anyway, question is, how have fellow veggies lost weight? You'd think it'd be easier,, but lean meats will sure keep…

hungry for more!
I finally reached my goal weight, fit into size 2 jeans, and my old favorites are way too big. I'm super happy and giving myself a pat on the back, but does anyone else get hungry for more weight loss? I'm thinking of starting a New little ticker thing :) )

if it's not emotional eating, then what is it??
So I already know I have a horrible habit of binging and giving in to my cravings (especially around TOM), to which I've been told "oh, it's emotional/due to boredom/stress", etc. But can't I just be a gluttonous pig with no other explanation but that?! If I want some candy, I want candy. Eating a piece of fruit isn't…

ginger candy
is anyone else addicted to it?! i cannot stop eating these chewy, sweet, spicy bits of heaven, ugh.

atkins/low carb
I cannot for the life of me figure out what would be better. I have been reading tons about both sides of the argument and still can't decide. Clearly we are all watching calories, so we are attempting to lose weight by calorie reduction. But is there anyone here that has lost weight from carb reduction vs calorie…

Small Breakfast, Big Dinner, Ok as long as calories are low?
I know everyone always says eat more in the morning and less at night to lose the most weight possible, but to lose weight you've got to create a deficit...and it seems I am only able to stick to my calorie goals when I eat less in the morning, and have a bigger lunch/dinner. I don't go to bed until a few hours later. Even…

crap, p90x body changes?!
So I've completed about a month and a half of p90x and instead of getting lean as in SKINNY lean, I've gained weight and have become more muscular....particularly in the booty area lol. Naked, I look good, but now I have a hard time fitting into my jeans! Should I just stick to it and eventually ill get smaller??

Clean eating makes me want to puke?
For quite some time I was a very clean eater, with an occasional binge purge episode. Lately, I've been eating more "normal" foods and have given myself a little more slack with what I eat. Now when I try to eat clean foods again, I want to gag. Like, I seriously get nauseous! Seems like all I want to eat is junk! When is…

p90x and the different phases
hi everybody! tomorrow will by my first day of the recovery week, and after three weeks of the lean program, i feel like i can up the intensity to doubles. should i follow doubles recovery for week four or just continue with the lean recovery? would it have a negative effect if i went from the lean program to the doubles…

everyone poops...
So I've been doing my best following the p90x nutrition plan, and the fruit and carb servings are SO low! Unfortunately, this seems to have, uhmmm...backed me up a bit. Are there any fiber rich, low carb foods that I can eat? Or should I take a supplement? I feel so fat! Help!

Takis
are SO addicting...has anyone else tried these delicious, bad for you treats? I can't stop fantasizing about them lol

p90x nutrition plan
is so damn protein heavy! i've fallen off the bandwagon and went carb crazy for two weeks but now i'm ready to start fresh. is having fresh fruit really that detrimental to getting cut on this program? i can't get myself to have a protein-centric diet for two weeks short of ninety days...can anyone help? p.s. i'm doing the…

swallowing hurts!
So maybe this is a blessing in disguise, but apparently I've got TMJ and for the last few days swallowing has caused this severe, sharp pain in my throat and ear. My concern is consuming enough calories cuz this pain is excruciating! Anyone have issues similar to this?

is there a point where you finally start dropping pounds?
So I started actually logging my food and exercise two weeks ago and the first week I dropped two pounds, this week I gained back 1.6. Thing is, I've lost an inch in my waist and half an inch in my hips. My gf asked if I can "reward" myself now with earrings but I told her my rewards are based on pounds lost. Is there a…

any marathoners out there?
I run around 5-6 miles every time I go for a run and hesitate on going past that due to some knee problems (left one specifically). There's a half marathon that I want to complete in a couple of months and wanted to know if a.) this was even a feasible task and b.) what kind of training I would need to be doing. I've…

thanksgiving...uhmmm, what?!
so, i've got a bit of a predicament. my partner and i don't celebrate thanksgiving, but now that we are both out of the army and at home, we decided it'd be nice to cook for our family. this might sound like a dumb question...but....what do people eat on thanksgiving?! lol. i know there's turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing,…

predetermined to be fat?
I've heard some stuff about how our bodies have a "set weight" that, no matter how much working out/dieting we do, your body will want to return to. How do you all feel about that? Are the overweight people that are now thin fulfilling their thin set weight? Are average girls who are 5'5 and 140 destined to always return…

jumping rope?
So I have been reading a lot about jumping rope lately. Are there any fans of this activity? The calories burned per minute are pretty damn good (ballpark of about 11). I'm down with jumping rope to burn off that chinese food I ate tonight! Does the 11 calories per minute sound about right?

apparently you can't teach an old dog new tricks...
i apologize in advance for this post but i really need to just confess to someone, and all you out there in cyberspace are faceless. i have tried time and time again to be a healthy person. i have dealt with disordered eating for a good portion of my life. i go one week on this site, feeling motivated and inspired by all…

was your first weigh in what you expected?
I'm coming up on my weigh in soon (Monday) and I'm really, really hoping there is a decrease in weight. I've been working out and following my caloric goals but feel that if I don't see a shift in the scale, I'll become demotivated. How was your first weigh in? Did you lose, gain, or stay the same? It's only a couple days…
