Dessert?
So, I have been trying the bright line eating program. But I get concerned that it is too low calorie so I have been following the food plan but increasing serving sizes when it follows too far below 1200. I have treats here and there so I am not 100% following it. But it is helping me with my nutrition, making sure I have…

125 days and burned out
I feel like I was going strong for awhile, but I have been thinking of taking a break. I don't want to lose ground, but I am tired of logging, tired of counting, and getting impatient and complacent. I know I should still be working out, and lifting weights. But I do it at home and it is harder and harder to put that first…

Picninc lunch / car munchies
I am going to be driving for about 6 hours. 3 hours at breakfast time and 3 hours in the afternoon. I need to pack myself breakfast and lunch and eat while driving. I usually eat while driving to keep myself awake, especially in the afternoon when I get tired. But in trying to balance healthy food and portion control of…

How much/long until someone notices?
I am wondering when you or others could see the difference. How long did it take, how many inches or pounds, until you can see and feel the difference? How long till family/friends/co-workers noticed? I have lost 20 lbs since Thanksgiving, (12 1/2 since joining MFP) and I just don't see it. And my husband says he can see…

Tell me what I am doing wrong (and right), PLEASE!
Alright, y'all have convinced me, I changed my calorie goal to match 20% below my TDEE and have a goal to not go below my BMR. But honestly, the biggest thing I have learned in my 6 weeks on here, is that I do not have a healthy relationship with food. When I decide to be healthy, it is like I am frozen to eat anything for…

beginning weight lifting? HASfit success?
I am very much a beginner when it comes to any type of fitness and exercise. I have found that I enjoy the Leslie Sansone walking youtube videos (thanks to those that suggested that), but keep seeing on here that I should lift. I bought some basic weights (3,5, and 8 lb). I found HASfit beginning weight lifting for 15…

Anyone still out there?
I recently started MFP, and thought I would see if there are other LDS people out there.

What's magical about 24 hours?
I've been wondering. I am really hungry on some days, and other days I am not hungry at all. Does calorie intake really depend on daily intakes, or would a weekly average work just as well. Like yesterday, I didn't plan on eating so little but I was gone all day, and by the time I got home I just wanted to go to bed. Can I…

Beginner Excercise Weights or Aerobics?
I am just beginning this whole exercise thing. There aren't a lot of options where I live. I run (ok, walk) on a very basic treadmill. I am extremely NOT athletic, never have been. I always thought I hated to exercise since gym class was such a nightmare for me, but as an adult I've realized that really it was the public…

What do you track and why?
I am trying to figure out what to set my food diary at to track things. I was tracking fiber and iron, but decided that maybe I should be tracking sodium. I would like to monitor more than just calories but I am unsure what is most important. Also, I have been following myfitnesspal suggestion for carbs/protein/fat, but…

Discouraged
Today, my husband wanted to eat out at the local bakery/diner. I have avoided any place that didn't have easy access to nutritional content, or healthy options. But I could tell he really wanted to go there so we went. I tried to be careful in ordering. And asked about calories, they had no idea. I had half a roast beef…

Hesitant to try this
Well, I am giving this a try. I have always struggled with my weight, but I have never tried an actual diet or program, just tried to eat more exercise more by following the food pyramid and staying active. I have spent most of the last 12 years pregnant, and am definitely now done having babies. My youngest will be 3 in…
