Rethinking the Wagon-Why falling off is not a bad thing
I first joined MFP in 2012. I counted my calories, watched my portion sizes, and exercised every day. The result: I lost over 75 pounds in about 8 months. More importantly, I actually enjoyed the process. It was fun to eat the foods I wanted to eat and still see the pounds drop off and my pants size decrease. People…

Help, Need encouragement from those who relapsed!
I started MFP in September of 2012 and dropped about 75 pounds in only 7 months. I didn't starve myself, and I honestly didn't eat all that good. I just watched my calorie intake and exercised on a daily basis. Once I hit my goal weight, I dropped my exercise down to every other day and increased my calories a little bit.…

Can you use up all of your willpower?
For the past 6 months or so, I have not been able to stick to my eating plan. I've gained back about 25 pounds of my total 75 pound weight loss. However, I felt like I needed a break from counting calories and worrying about food all the time. I literally said to myself, "I just want to give my willpower a little rest."…

From 1-10, how important are your measuring spoons & cups ?
I love MFP and all the weight loss "gadgets" like my fitbit my Polar HRM, Aria Scale, etc. As I was contemplating which one of my gadgets was the most important in my weight loss journey, I would have to say my old-fashioned, low-tech measuring spoons, cups, and scales have been the most helpful. For me, portion size is…

Lost weight by increasing calories? Please Respond
So, I've hit a plateau and I think that it maybe due to the fact that I'm not eating enough calories. I generally exercise off about 400 calories a day and have about a 500 calorie deficit each day. I'm thinking that I should start eating to up to the high range of calories, but I'm scared that I will gain. Has anyone beat…

Weight Maintenance & Increasing Calories
Hello MFP! I reached my goal weight a few months ago, but instead of increasing my calories to 2000 for maintenance, I decided to stick with my 1200 calorie range. I had a month long stay in New Orleans and New York, separately. I knew I would be eating so I kept my cals at 1200. I've been able to maintain my weight loss,…

Kona Grill & calories- the mistake that I made!
So, yesterday me and friend went to a happy hour at Kona Grill. I knew I was going out, so I ate light during the day and exercised. As a result, I had almost 1000 calories to "use" at Kona Grill. I didn't check the calories before I went, but I decided that the chicken satay appetizer would be fairly healthy. The dish has…

Favorite workout dvd's?
Hi MFP, I'm in the market for some workout dvd's. Although I get my cardio in religiously, I do not lift or tone or anything else. I particularly want to focus on my inner thighs, abs, and arms. Do you have dvd's that you could recommend?

In your Opinion-Why is it harder to maintain than to lose?
Hello All, As I near my goal weight loss (yay!), I am putting more and more thought into actually maintaining the weight loss. It's no secret that most people who lose weight will gain the weight back. Why do you think that is the case? I know for me, I know how to be on a binge and I know how to be on a "diet", but…

Thinking of doing a full weave? Any advice?
So I am thinking of a getting a full-head weave to give my own hair a rest. After I exercise, I use the blow dryer and/or chi iron on my hair. I know that this is way too much heat, especially on a daily basis. I've heard that either wearing braids or a full-weave is the best way to protect your hair. I want to do the full…

Help-my workout clothes are putrid!
So this would be an embarassing problem if not for the fact that the horrible smell coming from my workout clothes is evidence that I'm working my a** off, right? I think that I might be time to just throw some of them away, especially my shirts. However, I wanted to get your advice first. I use Tide Sport, the new laundry…

Eating out with friends who try to sabotage you!
Okay, so maybe sabotage is to harsh of a word. But, I'm sure a lot of you can relate to this topic. Last night I ate out with a friend who I haven't really eaten out with since I changed my lifestyle and dropped 41 pounds (woohoo!). This friend is of "normal" weight, but thinks she is "fat". We always talk about dieting or…

Reached a Plateau- Any suggestions?
Hi all, I started on MFP about a month and a half a go. I've lost 15 pounds so far, but I've seemed to hit a plateau. I know your body slows down after an initial weight loss, but I'm frustrated with the stall. Any suggestions on how to get over this hump?
