Responses
I was having a conversation with someone that was well over 300lbs. We were talking about losing weight and they stated that they don't have a problem with food, it is just that they don't eat often enough. Now I know that this can not be true, but I did not know how to respond without offending. Suggestions? This has…

Is this True
I am going to begin some strenth training and toning, next year. Being that MFP has no real way of tracking calories burned in this area, can I just eat as if I am in maintenance and then use exercising to create a deficit.

Protein
Is there such a thing as too much protein? And if so, what are the harmful effects of that?

Frustration
It is the holidays, and I am really trying hard to lost at least a couple of pounds. I do ZUMBA 6/7 days a week, eating semi healthy (but staying within my calorie limit), yet... not really losing. Not sure of what to do? HELP?

I have 12 more to go In having a discussion with my son, he says that I should set up my OVERALL goal. I don't have an overall goal, because I don't know what I will even…

Food, Food, Food!
Will I EVER get to a place where my mind is NOT constantly on food, what to eat, what to change, what NOT to eat?

Motivation RANT
I don't understand how we are helping people when we tell them WTG, Great DAY yet they did not eat the minimum amount of calories for the day (1200). From everything that I have read, MFP is set up with a calorie deficit, so we should lose weight even if we don't exercise. Not eating all of the minimum and none of the…
