MFP = life ruiner?
I'm beginning to feel like my fitness pal is micromanaging my life. Is there really a need to stick with this once your goal has been met? I'm determined and capable of keeping the weight off and know my boundaries as far as calorie intake for maintaining and losing. What I want to know is...when can we be done?

flash back
Today I stepped on the scale and the number on it took me back to a memory of junior high. It was back when we had a day when the whole school was weighed and measured. For what purpose I still don't know. I remember standing in line behind a stick of a girl who was on the drill team and her popularity far outweighed her…

Douche bag
Do people think you're a douche bag because you've suddenly gained more confidence and for once have a substantial amount of ego because you know how hard you've worked to look and feel awesome? Well screw those people.

Strawberry poptarts
Sometimes you just give in and that's okay. It's nice to have a treat once in awhile. Sometimes I find when I go back to treats I used to indulge in I find them to be revolting. But sometimes...it makes my day! What are some of the treats you love?

Inspirational quote
I'm trying to get revamped. I feel like lately I've been becoming less motivated and uninspired since I'm getting to my goal weight. However, I refuse to settle until I get there. So give me an inspirational quote. One that inspired you or helps keep you going. My favorite one is: "What doesn't kill you makes you cooler."

Wall-E
Do you ever think, in time, we will turn into those fat blogs that ingest all their meals through a straw and sit around on their arses?

Do I look fat to you?
I'm posting this for my own ego. Look at my profile pic. That picture was taken prior to me starting my weight loss journey. Do I look fat to you? Granted I have to admit I love living healthier and I feel more comfortable in my own skin now that I'm back to my "before babies" weight. However, I just want everyone to know…

Who do they think they are
I have worked on committing myself to being healthy for the last 6 months. For the first time in 28 years I started working out and eating right. Yes, obviously I count my calories. Yes, obviously I am very conscious of what I put in my body. Not because I'm a nut but because I care. But what sucks is when people make me…

Vanity pounds
I have officially hit my first goal of losing 15 pounds. I started at 145 and am now at 130. The last 5 pounds I'm trying to lose are simply for my vanity alone. Just to look the best I can, especially with all the muscle I've built. I read an article about what this is called and they say it's vanity pounds. Weight you…

No Carb Detox...thoughts
I'm stuck. I've plateaued 3 pounds from my goal weight. I've tried a number of ways to jump start my body back into weight loss. I work out 6 days a week, varying my exercise regiment. I eat healthy foods. Plan my meals. Stay within my calorie goal. So...I know people who have done detoxes, fasting, etc, etc, etc. But I…

Figuring food
I used to base my food consumption decisions on the amount of food I could get for the lowest price. Now I base my food on how much I can eat based on my allowed calories. My wallet is surely paying the price.

Confusion on calorie burning
I have noticed that when I put my exercises into the calorie calculator, the less I weigh the less calories I burn doing the same exercise for the same duration of time. Why is that?
