No longer 'obese'
Just a small success on my side. Been using MFP for 2 months and when I started my BMI was over 30, which meant I was classified as 'obese'. Just checked my BMI today and it is 29, which means I am only 'overweight'. If I can keep this up, with my 'slow but steady' weight loss plan I should be in the healthy weight range…

Do you stick to your calorie goal when sick?
I have a cold and I have my period. I have been doing my best to stick to my goal when I have my period, but with this double-whammy, well I am just trying to get lots of vitamin C, lots of water, lots of rest and food - whatever is the least effort. Plus I have been craving chocolate. So yeah, I have gone over today and…

Personal issues affecting my motivation
They aren't even my personal issues.... I have been going really well the past 4 weeks, and really enjoying it too. I am currently in a long distance relationship, and on Wednesday my boyfriend told me something that had just happened which had upset him, and which made me quite concerned. I can't really tell you what it…

Net calories too low?
Yesterday I had nothing I needed to do and ended up going hard out at the gym. So my food calories yesterday were 1882 and my exercise calories were 933, which meant my net calories were only 949.

Mixed Support?
25 days in and I have lost 5 pounds! Woohoo! I have tried losing weight meaning times before, by exercising more, or trying to cut certain foods out of my diet, and always just couldn't drop those pounds, or just found myself eating more. XP This is finally working. I find it hugely motivating to exercise, and I can still…

Ideal weight?
What are your opinions of an ideal weight, and how do you know when you've lost enough weight? I have set my current goal at 70 kgs (150 pounds), and I am currently doing better than I expected at heading towards that goal. However, that 70 kgs is just an initial goal, a sort of "I know I should weigh less than that". I…

One week in lost 3 pounds already
I set up all my goals for losing 1/2 a pound a week, so I am actually surprised I have lost so much in the first week. Is it normal to lose more the first week? Or is this a sign I need to up my calorie allowance a little bit. I am currently on 1600 calories a day, but usually come in just under it on days I don't go to…
