I just posted in another area, but does anyone know how to track Arc Trainer workouts on here?

Help! My Addiction to Sugar is Back!
I am writing this in an effort to help myself from falling back into the hole that is sugar-addiction. I have found myself staring longingly at the pop machines at work more than once this week. I have had a sweet treat every day (donut, snickers bar, chips (maybe not a sweet, but the carby-sugar is there). I feel it…

Off the wagon?
So about a month or so ago I hit the wonderful "Goal Weight." I told myself that I would keep at it, though, so I can remain healthy. In the weeks that have followed, however, I have stopped coming the MFP regularly to calculate my food, I find myself eating 3 pieces of pizza again, not two (and using dipping sauce again).…

Mother-in-Law Sabotage?
Last week my Mother-in-Law and her mother was staying with us (a total of 10 days). She knows that I have been trying to lose weight and that I prefer a low-carb/low-sugar eating regimine right now. Typically I keep one bag of chips and maybe some kind of treat from my husband in the house and that is about it. Well the…

Question for low-carbers about calories
To those who have been low carb longer than I have (2 months), if I am over my carbs but under my calorie goal, will I still lose weight? Or will it make me gain? Or neither? I think I'll end up with about 115 grams today. This has been happening more often in the last two weeks (I keep falling off the low-carb wagon), but…

Hit my goal weight today!
So excited to step on the scale and see the magic goal-weight number. Can hardly believe it. But I don't feel like I am ready to stop yet. I am now focusing on shaping and toning, and maybe shedding a few more. How have others celebrated hitting their goal? I want to pig out on a pint of B&J icecream, but that seems…

Best workout for the belly?
I seem to be doing great with slimming and toning my shoulders, legs and bum. However, my belly, though less fat, is not getting "toned" the way the rest of my body has. What is the best work out? Pilates?
-
Bad motivation?
When I started out with MFP and getting fit, my motivations were simple. Learn to eat healthier so my son has a good health role model, lose weight so I am no longer overweight (by BMI standards) and do what I can now to get healthy so that it isn't as hard when I get older. As I have been doing this for nearly 7 months…

Body looks deflated?
So I have now lost over 20lbs since starting MFP and a lot more since I had my son two years ago. I feel, when I am fully clothed, I look okay...pretty normal. Though most of my clothes are too big on me (I am too broke to buy new stuff, an unforseen issue...probably because I didn't really believe I would ever get that…

Changed goal, worried about gaining
I just adjusted my goals from 1 pound a week to 1/2 per week, upping my cals from 1260 to 1480. I have only been on the 1260 for a month or less, but I am concerned. I have about 5lbs to go til my goal, and in some ways this feels retroactive, but I am just not feeling like I am getting enough on 1260. Should I expect some…

Vegetables making me sick
Every time I have eaten veggies in the last two weeks I have felt incredibly ill with-in minutes of eating them. This includes the frozen veggies I normally eat as my "staple" veggies and others I have added lately (Spring salad mix, tomatoes, etc...fresh veggies). The ill feeling gets worse and worse through the day. What…

Metabolic Testing
I may have an opportunity to have a free metabolic screening in a few weeks. Does anyone know what this actually entails? Is it blood tests? Fitness? The free test comes if I participate in research about how women gain and lose weight. I want to make sure it is worth my time.

Is sugar toxic?
I read this article the other day, and it has really given me a lot to think about. I'd love a discussion on what people think about this. The article is long, but makes some vary valid points. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/17/magazine/mag-17Sugar-t.html?_r=1

Craving a binge eating session- Please Help!
The last few days have been terrible. I have lost 10 lbs since starting myfitnesspal.com. This last week I have been dealing with huge urges to over eat. I haven't gone on an all out binge, but I have found myself sneaking food; a bite of a cracker here, a nibble of my son's sandwich there. But really what I really want is…
