A trick around starvation mode?
Everyone threatens if you don't at least 1200 calories a day you'll put your body in starvation mode and not only stop losing weight, but probably gain weight. I read an article that said you could eat around 800 a day for two days in a row, then eat at least 1200 calories (more if you exercise) that next day and this…

Gum?
So, for instance, my bottle of gum says less than 5 calories per piece. Is this the calories I intake from chewing the gum, or is this the calories I would intake if I swallowed the gum? Hmmmm.
-
Avocado?
I have read all kinds of articles about the benefits of avocado. So, I bought a couple. I ate half plain, gross, ate half with salt and pepper, gross. I baked another one into a black bean avocado brownie, and it was edible, but still had a icky taste of avocado. Anyone have any recipes that make avocado's taste good?

Strength Training Routine?
I need help coming up with a strength training routine. I know NOTHING about it. I just bought a 40 lb dumbbell set to start and I looked up some exercises, but I'm having trouble forming a routine to follow. I didn't think you were supposed to work out the same muscles everyday when strength training. In all honesty, I'm…

Strength Training/Lifting Weights
All I'm hearing is we need to be doing strength training and lifting weights to lose fat and to tone. Any suggestions to do this without having access to a gym?

Relationship Question?? Cheating.
Just curious! What do you consider cheating in a relationship? From your answer to that, have you ever cheated or been cheated on? (I'm curious if this alters people's opinion.) What in your definition of cheating can be forgiven?

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
I am so sick of people telling me I've lost weight by starving myself. No, thank you very much, I've lost weight by working my butt off. I work out 6 days a week and EAT 6 times a day - usually 2,000 calories a day. I just want to point at my legs and scream YOU DONT GET THESE MUSCLES BY NOT EATING! lol...end rant.

CLA?
Anybody taken it? Helped, didn't help?

Trying new things!
I ventured out, slightly, of my very picky food bubble. I bought some hummus and some almond milk. Tried both of them and like them! Yay! I've read all kinds of things that say hummus is good for a snack and good for you and as far as I can tell almond milk is healthier than regular milk. Anybody got anything else worth…

Aggravated.
After reading many people's posts about getting over their plateau by eating more I decided to attempt this to get over mine. I changed my weight loss to 1lb a week and ate at those calorie goals instead of what I had been eating at. I not only didn't lose weight, I gained it. Is this normal when you make such a change?…

NSV - Cupcakes :)
I baked for 6 hours yesterday and made over 130 cupcakes, and did not eat one! I think this is a major NSV in my strength of willpower because I have a serious addiction to sweets! :)

Too hot?
After doing my workouts I take a really hot shower, but here lately when I do this when I'm in the shower I get really nauseous and immediately have to get out and set down. Am I getting too hot? Or does anyone have another idea what would cause that?

How many times a day do you eat? Is it a set time, or just when you get hungry?

Meal Suggestions?
I've recently moved back to school and am living in a dorm this year instead of an apartment. Therefore, the extent of my cooking capabilities is a microwave. Microwave meals are no only going to get very old, but they also have SOOO much sodium. Any suggestions on meals? Thanks!

I consider this an NSV :)
I glanced in the mirror this morning as I was working out, I saw stomach muscles. Woooooo hooo!!!

Treadmill and the track?
I run on the track regularly, but this coming week I am going on vacation and I purposely booked a hotel that has a fitness area with a treadmill. Since I am used to running on the track how different is the treadmill? Should I plan on running for a longer period of time or shorter? Or is it about the same?

Vitamin problems.
I've been taking Iron for years now because I am anemic and started taking a multivitamin as well when I started exercising. I added some vitamin D to the picture shortly after. Now, all of a sudden a couple months ago if I take any of them I get nauseous and throw up. I have no idea why. I've tried taking them with food,…

Don't give up!
I was so frustrated last week because I had worked really hard and not ate any bad food, but yet my weight had gone up a pound instead of down. Although I was frustrated I didn't let it discourage my eating or prevent me from working out and this week I'm down that pound I had gained plus down three more pounds as well!…

MFP People :)
I wonder how many people on MFP act towards everyone on here the same way they act towards people in their everyday interactions. The majority of people on here are always so nice and helpful, but I wonder if we are all really like that? If so, this could be a killer dating site, haha.

Lady question...
So, I've been on bc for about four years now. My cycles were always like clock work, until about a year ago. My doctor changed my prescription and she said it would fix it. Well, now not only are they not regular I am having multiples ones a month. I was just wondering if it could be from the recent weight loss and new…

20lbs to lose?
Hey guys! I've got 20 lbs left to my goal weight and was wondering if anyone else did too? I was thinking we could make a friendly competition and see who can get their first? A little motivation to keep me going and maybe you too. Anybody interested? :-)

Faster or further?
Which is more beneficial? Do I need to run a further distance or do I need to try and run the same distance I have been faster?

MFP is yelling at me.
I feel like I've been eating ALL day and I'm still five hundred calories under my goal. I finished my logging and MFP is telling me I'm going to go into starvation mode because I'm eating too few calories. Do I need to go cram some in to finish off the day with more calories or just let it go?

Spring Break.
sticking with a diet on spring break is NOT easy!

Fruit sugar?
MFP counts sugars from fruit as the same as sugar from a candy bar. I've heard that your body doesn't absorb it the same though, so does it count the same or not?

Billy's Bootcamp: Cardio Inferno
I bought this new workout video, but I'm not sure how to track it with MFP because it isn't listed when I search. How do I record this exercise?

Discouraging week.
I've done great losing weight every week since I started, until this one. This is the first week I haven't even lost a pound and this is the week I've worked the hardest with my exercise. It's so discouraging to work so hard and feel like I'm doing so good for the scales to tell me otherwise.
-
Fiber?
I eat a fiber cereal for breakfast and sometimes snack on a fiber bar during the day. This mixed with the regular fiber in other foods I almost always go over on the fiber goal. Is too much fiber a bad thing?
