Do you now?
Hey there yall! I've been on MFP since December 2010. I went from 211 to 156. Then, SURPRISE!!! I gained it back and THEN some. Now I'm 241. I still have all of my clothes from the fit days. But I'm wondering, since I'm going back down to that size (I was a size medium from 180 down to 156), would it be beneficial to buy…

Protein shakes, water, supplements...
So... if there was an insane trial (emphasis on insane) in a lab where you could only drink protein shakes and water and take supplements, but couldn't eat anything other than soup or chili once a day, getting paid $150 every week, would you do it??? Why or why not? To answer this question myself... I really don't know. I…

How many hours???
Just wondering how many hours of the day you guys spend awake?! For the early risers, how late are you able to stay up? Especially if you work nights! I work nights and don't wake up until noon. After work, I usually work out and then stay up for the rest of the night until 4 or 5am! I was thinking of waking up earlier in…

French fries question...
Hellooo! :smile: I got some sweet potato fries from Fresh and Easy yesterday :bigsmile: , but didn't think to look at the serving size. I want to make some today, but it says that one serving is 3oz.... :noway: I don't have a food scale, so I really don't know how much I'm supposed to eat... anyone have an estimate of how…

My FACE!!! :O
Here's a before and after pic of a 7 month difference of my face! When you see yourself in the mirror everyday, you don't see the change, but when I put the pictures side by side, I stared at it for a good 2 minutes like this ---> :sick: minus the green face and sick feeling. haha do you guys have any face change pictures?

How would you feel?
My friend told me about a website she uses to meet people because with her hectic work schedule, she doesn't have time to go on a ton of dates. I decided to look at the website and another friend and I decided to make our own profiles. As most people know, many guys on these "friend-making" websites can be total pervs and…

Toning!!!
When should I start toning? I'm 159 now and my goal is 145. Should I wait until I reach 145 to start toning at the gym? Or should I do something like 30 Day Shred now and then continue toning at the gym when I reach 145? Thanks! :flowerforyou:

A Sit-Up?
I've been on many websites that tell you to bend your knees at a 90 degree angle and keep your hands at your sides to do beginner sit-ups, but honestly, that doesn't help!!! :grumble: I'm trying to do unassisted sit-ups, meaning I don't want to put my feet underneath anything! One website said your abs are only used for…

What would happen if...
What would happen if I ate 9,000 calories in ONE day (besides risking the possibility of explosion)? haha would I gain that weight over the course of a few days or a week? Or would it not matter if I continued to eat healthy afterwards?

What do you wear?!
How do you guys handle new wardrobes... I don't want to spend thousands of dollars shopping for the size I am now, then have NOTHING fit in a month or two from now when I'll weigh less... I'm thinking dresses with get me through the summer, but how do dresses fit after you lose more weight? What do some of you guys wear?

SUCCESS PICS... :O
If your success pics are in your undergarments, then you should block your face, right? :huh:

Did it come back?
Hey guys! So, I just looked to see how many calories I'd have to eat in order to MAINTAIN my weight and it said 2100 calories. I freaked out thinking about how I can barely keep my sodium intake at or below 1500 when eating 1200... 2100 is going to make it extremely tough. Also, it seemed like I would GAIN weight back if I…

Soooooooo, this summer, I'm going to go from a bathing suit that has a skirt that covers my KNEES :noway: to a tankini! :drinker: :) I'm sooooooo excited... BUT I have stretch marks on my shoulders (and on my sides, but the bathing suit covers it) and was wondering what to do about them. I saw some articles about how…

Huge Question
So, MFP says that my BMR is 1600cals and that if I eat 1320cals a day, I will lose 2 pounds a week. The deficit is only 280cals a day or 1960cals a week. There are 7000cals in 2 pounds. How am I supposed to lose 2 pounds a week by burning only 1960cals? :huh: Also, I do workout and burn 500-700 cals at the gym. If I eat…

We will all being getting together in July which will be the first time that some of my family has seen me since Summer 2010 or Thanksgiving!

90 days on MFP!!!
As of today, I've been using MyFitnessPal for 90 days and have lost 33 pounds!!! :drinker: Out of the dozen of things I've tried to get this weight off, MFP is the only one that has worked for me! I've been yo-yo dieting since I was a kid and the most I've lost was 10 pounds, but then I'd gain it back! When this year of…

Any other 5'5" girls on here?
Hey! I am 5'5" and my SW was 217. I am now 203. :) I was just wondering if there were any other girls on MFP that share the same height and are around 180-210lbs. like me! I was looking at before and after pics and no one seemed to be the same height as me, so their 160 looked slim for them, where it would probably be…

Can't Get AWAY!!!
So... I eat so much, yet I'm not getting enough calories, but I'm getting too much sodium. Anyone know any low sodium/ high calorie snacks? (That's not fruit or veggies) Thaaaanks! :)

Makes NO sense!!!
I'm just going to point out that I have no kids, but there are a few things that I've been wondering about that I've seen parents do. PLEASE feel free to give your opinion on these things too, parent or not, yay or nay! :) 1. You wouldn't give a 10-day old, 10-week old, or 10-month old soda... so why give a 10 YEAR old…

That's it?!
Hey! So, for the past month, I've been having Tyson's Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast and Bird's Eye Steamfresh vegetables for dinner EVERYDAY! While it MAY look healthy, it looks like something is missing. I'd like to have a third item on the plate but I have no idea what it should be. Also, after dinner, I look at the…

"Fat Secret"?
Anyone use the Fat Secret website to log their food? It's just like this website, except they actually HAVE a Blackberry App! :) They have a food database, exercise database, groups to join, and challenges to participate in! In the app, you can look up any fast food restaurant that you want instead of having to log on by a…

Is there another word for preservatives???
Hiya! I bought some Campbells Chicken Corn Chowder today and was wonder if there were any preservatives in it? Usually when looking at the ingredients, it will say something like "Antifantabulous (preservative)" to let you know, but it said nothing of the sort. I was going to share some with my Grammah, but I wouldn't dare…

It Matters?!?!
So, after seeing that many people go over their sugar amount but never exceed their calories, I'm now wondering if the rest of it doesn't matter. For example, If your limit is 1700 calories and 20g of sugar, and you eat 1500 cals and 50g of sugar, will you still lose weight?! SO confused... haha :) Also, how many of you…
-
What the!!! How much?!
Hey! I was just going through the nutritional facts of a few items I got at the milk bar today. For salad, it said one serving is 3 oz. Why are most things measured that way and how are you supposed to know how much it is if you don't have a food scale? The deck of cards thing isn't working for everything. How do YOU guys…

BLACKBERRY?!?!
Hey! :) Does anyone know how long MFP has been working on the Blackberry App? I don't know how long it takes to create an app, but I DO know that it would be amazing if they made one REALLY soon! Haha :D

I went over... a little.
Hey there! I was just wondering whether or not going over my sugar by 2g is going to hurt the scale or make me gain? This is the only time that I have gone over since I began on Christmas Eve. I might be a little paranoid, I mean, I've seen people go over by 10 and 20, but I'd still like to know. Thanks! - Sasha xoxo
