In need of some support and motivation :)
In major need of some friends to keep me on track with my healthy lifestyle habits. A little about me - I'm 19 years old and finally ready to kick my unhealthy habits in the butt. I started MFP last year and got down to my goal weight after losing 30 pounds. A few months later, I got my first job and found it harder and…

Putting an end to my questions!
So I've had a couple of things that I've been questioning since I've started losing weight, and I figured now's the time to get those questions answered! The first question is: I've seen time and time again "The key to losing weight is burning more calories than you're taking in" However what I've read on MFP seems to be…

Any high schoolers/teenagers? :)
I'm new, I'm 18 and a senior in high school. I don't have any friends yet, but I'm definitely looking for some that are around my age for support and motivation! Feel free to add me or introduce yourself. :)

Anyone else having trouble with upping calories?
After reading quite a bit on here about 1200 calories being too little, I decided to up my calories to about 1550 per day. I've been doing so for the past 3 weeks, and have yet to experience any weight loss. Previously I was eating around 1200, sometimes even a little less and the weight was coming off nicely, around 2…

Weighing and high-sodium intake?
Tomorrow is my weekly weigh day, but I've consumed a lot of sodium in my diet today. Well over the 2500 goal MFP has set for me. Is this going to affect the scale in the morning? I'm wondering if I should wait maybe a day or two so I don't get discouraged. Thanks!

When did you start seeing physical results?
I started tracking my calories and exercising on February 12th, 2013. Since then, I've lost 11 pounds (I have a goal of losing 30), but I have yet to notice any difference in my appearance. (Although I'm definitely feeling a lot better.) I was just wondering, when did YOU start noticing a change in your appearance? Thanks!…

What to eat when you're under your calorie goal?
Lately I've been having a problem with reaching my calorie goal. I'll be really good about my eating all day, getting my exercise in, ect. but at the end of the day, I'll be as much as 600 calories under on same days. What is the best way to go about reaching my calorie goal on days like this? The confusing part for me is…

Should you eat back the calories you burn through exercise?
Such as today, I burned 400 calories through exercising. Should I eat an extra 400 calories or just continue with my regular 1200 calorie goal for the day? Also, will I lose weight faster if I don't eat the calories back?

4 pound weight gain overnight?
So for the past couple of weeks I've been working really hard to lose weight. I've completely reconfigured my diet and I've been exercising at least 30 minutes 4-5 times a week. Within the first two weeks, it felt like the weight was just falling off. I had planned on weighing once a week, and so Thursday morning I got on…
