Supersize vs Superskinny
Has anyone seen this show? I just discovered it on YouTube and it's an eye opener - now I'm wondering how much I really used to eat before I changed my habits. But just watching the show makes me want to continue my weight loss journey so I don't get the point of some of the people who are like 400,500,600 lbs and can…

Evenly spacing daily calories
I find it very hard to to eat less than my goat on 1200 calorie days and I find I'm always hungry. I added up all the calories I burned last week and the 1200 I'm supposed to be eating, divided by 7, it came out to 1731 a day. Now, is this an okay way to do it - there are some days where I burn enough that I can eat over…

Foods that Fill you Up?
Any suggestions on foods that are not too high calorie but will keep me full longer? I find the 1210 calories that MFP gives me to eat is just not enough and I end up starving on days I don't exercise. Although this does then force me to exercise at least 6 days a week because I like to eat, but I know rest days are…

TRX?
Has anyone tried it? The YMCA where I work out has a month-long class for it, but other than it being resistance training I'm not sure what it involves or if it's something I should try. I definitely want to be toned but I'm still getting in shape and still at 241 pounds. Should I try it now or wait until I'm in better…

Logging - how do you know what you ate?
How do you know with non-prepackaged foods exactly what you ate and how do you log that in? Like tonight we had steak with red potatoes cooked in the microwave. So I go to log it in and I put 'Steak-grilled-3oz' - I took a small-ish piece - I'm guessing it was about 3 oz, but I'm not sure. Same with the potato - I had one…

Logging and calories and macros...how do you do it?
So everyone is different and loses weight differently and I'm interested to see how others do the logging thing. As I said, I'm interested to see how others do it, not in seeing other people bash how I do things to lose weight - we're all different and what might work for you might not work for me. To be honest I HATE the…

Increased Hunger
I don't know if anyone has had this experience but up until a couple of weeks ago, I was fine with what I was eating, but now it seems like my hunger has increased. I'm eating right around what MFP says I should, but I quite literally finished a bag of popcorn like 30 minutes ago (which has a lot of fiber) and I feel…

Wanted to Share my Story...
I've only been at this for two and a half months, but I've actually gone so far. So I'm putting this here for anyone starting their journey to health who is wondering how fast they will see results. I didn't like what I saw in the mirror and at the end of November I broke down. I was so fat and unhappy and I thought back…

Fitness Is Magic
Hi There! My name is Heather - I'm 30 and looking for some friends to encourage me in my weight loss journey. I started really working at it December 1st, 2012 when I realized I needed to buy a size 20 jeans and by the end of 2013 I'm hoping to be around a size 12. I've lost around 25 lbs since then (8 since I joined My…
