Am I Nuts about Exercise
Seriously am I the only who exercise so can eat more. I see all these post by people who do eat their exercise calories because they are not hungry. Am I the only one who works out harder so I can have more at dinner or a snack?? Plus when I exercise, I am hungrier.

So Dang Frustrated with Food
I love food but it hates me. First I find out I am Gluten Intolerant. Fine, I gave up all wheat products. I lost a bunch of weight and then started gaining it back because I was substituting chocolate for donuts. I joined MFP in Jan and have lost 31 pounds. But I still like my chocolate.

So I did not have time to run tonight, so I went to the gym. I noticed that lately when I go the Food Network is always on. Tonight it was some cake off with Red Velvet cake. Isn't that like sitting in an AA meeting and watching how they brew moonshine? I do not get it, anyone else notice anything weird on television when…

I need some Clarification
I am a bit confused about the calorie goals. Should I aim to get 1270(which is my daily goal) in food alone, or should it 1270 after to exercise. My mom use to lose her hair when she ate only 900 calories a day and her exercise plan was 8 miles of walking. This is how I have been doing it, I ate 1600 calories yesterday and…
