Finally bought a food scale!
Hey everyone! So, I've finally gone out and bought an actual digital food scale. I've been on MFP for awhile now, probably since 2012/2013, and I've lost over 50 pounds now. I had gotten down to 70 pounds lost, but did an internship with Disney and that happened to make me shoot back up 40, and now I'm back on the horse :)…

How do you deal with work?
Hey guys! I'm looking for some tips on how to keep up with making healthy choices while at work. I have a great job with great people and I absolutely love it. The only thing I don't love is the fact that there's always unhealthy food around. The owner is constantly bringing in doughnuts, breakfast burritos, buying us…

intense cravings?
Hey guys! So I've been on MFP for around a year or so now, and I've had pretty good success- lost a bit of 50 pounds. I've been stuck between 175-179 for the past 3 months now, though, and I'm wanting to get down to around 130, so I've still got a decent way to go. My main problem is that lately, I've been cravings sweets,…

A few questions!
Hey guys :) I've been using mfp for awhile now, and have been pretty successful aside from the last 3 months or so. I'm not sure if I've hit a plateau, or if I've just been slacking off (which I probably have been). I've been fluctuating between 172-179 the past couple of months, after hitting the 50 pounds lost mark. I'm…

Question about body fat %!
Hey guys :) So I've been using mfp for almost 6 months now, and I've lost over 40 pounds. I'm almost halfway to what I believed my goal should be when I started! My goal is 130 pounds. I'm 5'6, 19, female, and I currently weigh 189.2 pounds, with a 31.1% body fat according to the fat2fit calculators average. I started at…

Going to an all day concert?
Hey guys! So tomorrow and Friday, my boyfriend and I are going to Warped Tour! We're getting in line at 9 AM, and it typically runs until 9 PM, so we'll be on our feet basically the whole 12 hours. Unfortunately, I know there's like going to be very few healthy options to eat there, so I'm hoping to eat breakfast before…

New job- activity level?
Hey guys! So, I just got a job as a hostess as a restaurant, therefore meaning I'm going to be on my feet for an extra 20 hours or so per week! I currently just have my activity level on Sedentary, then I add my exercise calories and eat back some of them. I had a question about whether I should raise my activity level,…

Dinner bread ideas?
Hey guys! My boyfriend and I are looking for a way to have some bread for dinner. We have wheat bread, white bread, chia pockets, tortillas, etc., and cheese, random seasonings, etc. We're having breaded buffalo chicken, mashed potatoes, and green beans, but bread just sounds so good. But I'm not in the mood for plain…

Are you ever sore after days you DON'T work out?
I ended up working out for 5 days straight last week (just how my schedule ended up being), then I took Monday off. I played tennis for an hour on Tuesday, then had to also take Wednesday off to go to a birthday dinner thing. But today, I am incredibly sore. I don't understand! I was also pretty sore on Tuesday. I don't…

Question about changing the number of calories!
Hey guys! So, I started using MFP at 230 pounds, and I'm now around 209. I weigh in once a week, usually Saturday/Sunday. When I hit 220, MFP told me to reevaluate my calories, and took me from 1800/day to 1740/day, I believe. But when I hit below 210, it didn't do that. So I was wondering, should my calories have been set…

HRM?
Hey guys! So, I keep hearing about different HRM's and FitBit's and things like that, and I was wondering what would be the best for me! I want to use it to track my exercise and my calories burned to help me continue losing weight. I'm going to get it when I hit 207 pounds (only about 5 pounds away!), which is 10% of my…

I'm supposed to eat out tonight!
So, my boyfriend's family want to take me and him to dinner because I babysat one of their grandkids. And they won't stop asking and being presistent, so I have to get it over with. And they've chosen to take us to Black Angus. A holy grail of sodium. So, I already know that they're going to have a coupon for BA's…

Should I work out today?
Hey guys. So, I had some leftover seafood from last night for breakfast this morning, and it tasted fine and everything, but afterwards I feel like crap :( I hate around 830am (about 7 hours ago), and I'm not hungry at all. I also just spent the last 6 hours cleaning. I tried to take a break and eat, but everything just…

I'm already at my limit for sugar?
So, for breakfast this morning, I had a pouch of brown sugar/maple oatmeal, a banana, and skim milk.. and that was 34g of sugar! MFP says I only have 1g left for the whole day (35g total).. Ugh. What am I supposed to do?

I should be eating 1700 cals but I can't
Hey guys. I'm kinda new to weight loss, so I'm kinda confused. MFP says I should be eating around 1740 cals per day to lose 1lb per week. But the problem is, I average less than 1200/day, because I'm just not that hungry. I'm around 218 pounds, 5'6". I also go to the gym 5 days a week (usually), and I'm not really any…
