I HATE weighing myself!
I haven’t lost weight for 3 weeks, but I look & feel thinner... less bloated, more comfortable in my own skin. I’ve been taking Photos this time around (been on this journey on & off for years). I don’t have the patience to measure myself, but I can see & feel a bit of a difference. Am I crazy?! Or is the scale not always…

How to stay motivated
I’ve been on and off this dieting thing for many years... got myself down to 139lbs and floated around 145 for a while. Eventually it creeped up to the 150’s, which I maintained for a few years. But now, it’s way up to 172 lbs and I feel out of control! My clothes don’t fit me anymore and I’m very discouraged because I…

What's one tip you do to stay on track?
Mine is drinking water and tea! Also, getting comfortable with hunger pains. Instead of snacking all day, I drink alot of water and tea. This helps me to know if I'm really hungry or not. If I still feel hungry, I eat but most of the time, it's psychological I think or maybe just dehydrated. Easy to mistake hunger for…

Do you trust MFP?
I've been having alot of trouble eating 1200-1300 calories a day, with low impact exercise. I used to do intense workouts and was fine cause I could always eat back my calories and still lose! However, I have a foot injury and had to switch to swimming. I only burn about 250 calories for 30 min and it's super hard for me…

Any swimmers out there?

Binge eating... How to recover?!
I had a night of emotional, binge eating last night. How can I recover from this without gaining weight? Is it possible to still lose weight after this? I logged but probably didn't even log as much as I ate... Was an estimate. Although I did throw half of it out when I kept eating after I was full! Should I cut carbs to…

How do I maintain without gaining weight?
Hi MFP pals! I noticed that despite winter as my excuse for gaining back half the weight I lost last year, that dating someone also makes it hard!! Is it because you are happy? Is it because you eat out more? How do I control this next time? I think I just wanted to relax and not worry anymore....but now that I'm single…

iphone "steps" versus MFP
Hi, Has anyone used the new iphone automatic steps calculator? I'm just wondering if this is accurate for counting calories, because I sped walked to work today 25 minutes and it only calculated the number of steps, giving me 45 calorie credit. When I log in 25 min , walking brisk or moderate pace, it's alot more calories…

Hiking!
How do you log hiking as an exercise? The options MFP give are confusing...I'm not carrying any loads....Just me, myself, and I . It's nice out and I want to get outside. There's a park near me that has trails. I don't think they are anything crazy like climbing up and down a mountain...although it is on a mountain, but…

Prancing around the same weight?
Anyone else seem to lose a pound, go up a pound? An endless cycle, prancing around the same weight? It took me forever to break through the scale on my weight at 148 lbs and now I gained that pound back again, plus more... that I tried to lose for weeks... Up, down, up, down, up, down. How do I break this cycle and lose…

"wasting" food?
So, I grew up with the concept that you should always clean the food off your plate (because of starving children around the world, ofcourse! lol). Although, I know this is ridiculous and that no starving children will be saved if I finish all the food on my plate, I still feel guilty sometimes when I don't want to eat…

Spinning craze
So, I keep seeing these bogus news articles about spinning and it's starting to upset me. I love spinning and it has helped me in my weight loss. Why are these people claiming that it makes you fatter and bulks you up? I find that to be so untrue...Yes, you build muscle but that is a good thing! As long as you mix it up…

Dressing rooms UGHHHHH
So I haven't been shopping in a while (for myself) and I was quickly reminded how awful I feel every time I try on clothes in a dressing room. It's not that the clothes don't fit. It's the way my body looks in that horrible lighting! Is that really what I look like? I seriously wanted to cry at one point because I've been…

Strength training vs Cardio
How much strength training should I add to my exercise routine? I started adding a little weight lifting to my routine, like one strength class a week and every so often , doing some weights at home. I'm not sure if it's making a difference though. I generally do alot of cardio. Any advice?

Winter blue
As much as I try to stay positive in the winter and stick to my diet, I find myself just falling back to my old ways when I'm feeling down. Working out definitely helps but what do you do when you just can't control that "down" feeling and you just want to say **** it! Emotional eating is definitely an issue for me and…

PMS!
I want to punch someone, cry, and stuff my face with chocolate all at the same time. Any advice (besides working out or taking vitamins) to fight the PMS cravings? Any healthy snacks or recipes?
