Returning to MFP
Hey MFP I've lost a ton of weight thanks to MFP and the amazing support I got last year from everyone here :) I was absent more or less the past 5 months but now I'm back!! I haven't gained weight (actually I've lost but I need the extra push to keep going to get to my goal!) Add me!!!!! SW: 232 CW: 174 GW: 160 (or maybe…

Newbie, hoping to cut out dairy
Hi everyone! I want to try going Paleo! I have the paleo diet book (and the wheat belly book!) and I have cut out wheat from my diet. Diary, however, is a different story. I've reduced my milk intake significantly, and only have ~500 ml left of it in the fridge. I do not plan on buying more. I LOVE cheese, especially…

Just moved to the USA, restarting my weightloss!
Hi everyone! I have been on MFP since December, but haven't been that present (consistently) since March. I was doing so good. Lost 33 lbs with MFP. Lost 20 pounds before joining too.

50 lbs lost! Need motivation to lose another 20 lbs!
This is a progress story of my life in the past year. I weighed 232 lbs in May when I actually started exercising. The before photos are from Feb. but I probably weighed the same.

Eaten like a horse to get enough protein..
Can anyone look at my food diary and suggest what I am doing wrong? I NEVER get enough protein that MFP suggests and today I ALMOST made it! But I am over my calories (and...well everything else, too). Any advice on what I could swap in/out of my diet? I understand the value of protein in our diets but I am apparently…

My first NSV!
Hi everyone! I am posting a mini-success story because I am kinda pumped about this. I have lost 30 lbs since May (9 lbs since joining MFP in December 2012). In May 2012 I weighed in at 232 (my heaviest) and I am now 202. I need to lose another 40 pounds still (so no pics yet, but hopefully in 6 months, or less!) but I am…

How do I eat an avocado?!?
I bought an avocado the other day from the store because it was on sale. I've never had one before. How do it eat? Should I cut it up and put it on top of something? If you could share your recipes/ snack ideas for eating an avocado that would be awesome :)

NEED TO LOWER MY BLOOD SUGAR
This is seriously stressing me out. Both of my parent's have diabetes. My grandfather has it. I got bloodwork (before starting MFP) and my blood sugar levels are through the roof!!!! (7.7)... this is smack-dab in the diabetic range. I am getting bloodwork done again to see if I maybe didn't fast enough or there was an…

is 1200 calories/day really enough?
I have my ups and downs.. today I ate a ton more than I should've (not healthy choices at dinner or snack...eek) but I am a bit concerned 1200 calories/day without exercise is too low? Maybe I am not trying hard enough. I normally exercise quite a bit and I'll eat my calories I burned so I eat maybe 1500 or so. but I also…

HELP: 'Calorie Deficit' clarification
What does 'calorie deficit' actually mean? Should I just be under my calorie goal for the day? Or do I have to burn more calories through exercise than I eat? I did the latter today (AND I AM SO HUNGRY!).. I ate less calories than what I burned and maybe because I am new to this,..but this is really tough! Is this what I…

C25K/ 10K running app
Is anyone having problems with the c25k or the following 10k training app? It would not work properly yesterday OR today. I have an android and I have used it for two weeks with no problems until yesterday. So annoyed. I even turned my phone off then tried starting the app again. The voice doesn't match the time for when I…
