Freshman 15 Must Go!
This is my second time committing myself to logging my exercise and calorie intake. My main focus is to eat healthier and get fit! I lost 10 pounds last year through MFP, but now I'm not living at home and I'm on a college campus. I was required to buy a meal plan and needless to say, universities are not about to spend…

Is 10lbs off noticeable on your body?
Hello, I'm new here and relatively young. I'm not extra ordinarily overweight and I'm actually in an okay weight range for my age. However, I think there is room for improvement and I want to tone and lean up my figure. I'm thinking losing 10 pounds would be good but I'm wondering...how much of a difference does it…

Need some tips, advice, and support. :\
I was doing great for about a month, I actually lost 7 lbs and toned up quite a bit. I found that with the new confidence, I got a bit lazy, stopped logging, and I gained 2 lb back and I've been stuck at 108 for the last month. Now I'm back to tracking my calories and exercise here, but I find it harder to keep my diet at…

Peanut butter?
I notice it is high in calorie of course, but how bad would you say it is to have? One of my favorite treats for the Fall is to have an apple, cut it into slices, spread a thin amount of peanut butter on it and stick 2 candy corns (cut in half) on it. Not the healthiest thing to eat regularly of course, but its delicious!

Ladies, are your periods affected by your weight loss?
So far, i've only lost 4 pounds, but I've done it on a pretty intensive diet of 1200 cal a day and I exercise about 4 times a day. I started my weight loss journey only about 2 weeks ago. My period came this week and it was incredibly light and it only lasted 3 days. It is pretty concerning to me because I'm always heavy…

Stop sugar cravings?
How do you guys stop your sugar cravings without adding any calories? I always find myself doing great for the most part but everyday, I just HAVE to have that sweets bomb which adds anywhere between 200-350 calories to my very small calorie allowance (1200). It sucks because otherwise I eat pretty well but while I can…

A short girl and I can't lose the last 10lb I want...
I'm a shorty at 5'1". I came here when I hit about 116 pounds because I had never gone over 115 and being at 116 marked the point where I gained exactly 10lb from my best weight last year. I'm now at 111lb so I have lost a bit but now I'm stuck, hovering around 110. Does anyone else have this problem? My new goal is to be…

Elliptical v Running/Treadmill
I've been only using the treadmill at home lately but since I got a gym membership this week (whoo!), I was wondering if I should be doing the elliptical instead. I want to tone my legs and keep them thin, not bulk up. I know both burn calories and will help with losing the fat I don't want. Which one would be better for…

What abdominal exercises work best?
I'm really working on toning my stomach up, but what *specific* exercises do you do to work your abs? Can anyone link me to a good website that will show me how to do the exercises? I'm pretty new at this and...I need all the help I can get. As of right now, the only think I know how to do is a crunch and a sit up. I know…

Help! Clueless with toning exercises
Hey everyone, I'm starting my workout routines in order to tone up, define my body more, and well...look sexy! I need to lose about 10lb of fat and replace some of that with muscle. I'm in the average weight range but I do have a decent bit of pudge. This is the first time I've ever really worked out seriously before to…
