Crazy idea or no?
I'm trying to lose the last 5 or so pounds--I'm petite, and therefore my daily allowance isn't much over 1200. In fact, most days I'm eating 1200.

Anyone had an Endoscopy?
Completely random, but I'm wondering if anyone has had an endoscopy lately. I have one scheduled for Friday, due to some upper GI pain, but I'm absolutely terrified of being sedated and having a scope put down my throat. If you've had one...what was your experience like? The good, bad?

Old demons creeping back in...
Hi everyone...so, in the past I've battled bulimia, and I've worked hard for YEARS to come to a place where I'm this "normal" about food. I'm slowly accepting that it doesn't have to be this all or nothing mentality where it's either, eat nothing, or eat everything. I'm grateful for my progress, and the fact that I've made…

Steel Cut Oats cooking question
Ok--math has always been a weak spot for me...and I'm just trying to make sure I'm correct on my calculations. Usually when I make Steel cut oats I make it one serving at a time, so I don't ever have to do any calculations other than dumping the 1/4 cup or 40 gram serving into a dish on my food scale, and walah! 150…

This is sort of an FAQ question but I couldn't find it....I want to keep track of my exercise, but I DON'T want it to add to my "eat back" calories. I'd like for exercise calories, and food intake calories to be seperate. Is there a way to do this?

Weighing by gram
Am I the only one who feels like I get to eat A LOT of food when I meticulously weigh? I weigh all my food on my digital scale, and I always check the package for the measurement in grams and then serve myself accordingly. I don't eat a lot of packed stuff, so for the fresh veggies and fruits I just look them up on MFP and…
