Any nurses on here?
Hello, I am a registered nurse and I was wondering how other nurses stay on track with their weight loss? Working 12 hour shifts and not knowing if or when I will get a lunch break makes it had to plan my meals. If I eat a smaller breakfast then I will be starving for lunch, but if I can't get a break I am out of luck. But…

Throwing Up
Over the past month or two I have been throwing up more than normal. If I eat too much, smell something I don't like, get upset, or get really stressed I throw up. Sometimes I throw up after eating a normal meal, or like tonight I threw up after eating some wheat thins. I haven't been tracking my food intake because when I…

Goal weight? Pictures included.
Hello, I want to get opinions about what a good goal weight for me would be. It is hard for me to work towards something without having a goal, and I am at a loss for what weight I want to be. I am 5'5" and currently weigh 155.4 lbs. Last year I weighed 164 lbs so I have lost a little bit of weight but am still working on…

Sport Bra Issues?
Hello, I have a question for the girls out there. I am just getting back into running, but I can't seem to find a good sports bra. Either it is not tight enough and i feel like I'm all over the place, or it's too tight in my rib area and it becomes hard to breath. Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions of a good…

People's negative comments on weight loss goal
I want to start by saying I am taking my time losing weight, not in that I'm not trying, but I was to lose it gradually because I want it to stay off for good. I lost ten pounds over the last month and a half and I cannot tell a difference. I feel that I look exactly the same. A couple people have told me I look like I…

Looking for a goal weight
I am trying to pick a goal weight, as I feel it is easier to stay focused with a goal in mind. I am 5'5" and weigh 160. I guess I can't envision what I will look like at a certain weight, so I have no idea if I should shoot to get down as low as 115 or to lose around 20 or 25 pounds and hope that I look and feel good? 5'5"…

Calorie deficit vs. nutrients
Will a calorie deficit alone make me lose weight, or should I be more worried about the nutrients? Today I was under on my calorie intake, but I exceeded the recommended fat and sugar recommendations. Will this have a negative effect on my weight loss? Also, should I be eating back all of the calories I burned off? MFP is…

Best pasta substitute ever!
So I finally got around to trying making "pasta" from broccoli slaw. I figured it would taste mediocre but I would be able to eat it. I am happy to tell you that it is absolutely amazing!! I put MIDS spaghetti meat sauce on it and it is absolutely delicious, and less than 200 calories for a whole bowl! Try it sometime :)

is it possible to notice a 4 pound weight loss?
Hello everyone! I (re)started dieting a couple of weeks ago, and I have lost right around four pounds. This weekend someone told me it looks like I have lost weight. This was very exciting for me!

How often do you weigh yourself?
I was wondering how often you weigh yourself? I weigh myself everyday (if not more than once a day) and have noticed that my weight fluctuates what seems like a lot. I started (re)tracking my weight again almost two weeks ago, and some days I am pounds lower than other days. How do I know if I actually lose weight, or if…

Will a 15 pounds weight loss be noticeable?
Hello, I am 5'5" and weight right around 160 (I fluctuate from 157 to 162). Do you think a 15 pound weight loss would be noticeable? Would my clothes fit looser? Or would I look and feel about the same? My immediate goal (for the next eight weeks or so) is to get down to 142 pounds then go from there. I guess I just can't…
