fair food?
I am going to the fair with my family this Friday night - an annual thing we all look forward to. I want to enjoy myself while I'm there (I'm planning on eating maintanence calories for that day), but I was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions for lower calorie fair food? I'm thinking about it and I can't come up…

1 week disappointment - do you change it up?
Just completed my weekly weigh in and I am SUPER disappointed. I am a few weeks into my new lifestyle (losing after having a baby), and so far I've had a lot of success. But this week, I lost only 1 pound - compared to a little over 2 pounds a week for the past weeks (for the record, my BMI is in the obese category, so…

pregnancy & weight loss
I just found out last week that I am pregnant! Yay! The main reason that I got on MFP was to lose weight to increase my chances of conceiving and to have a healthy pregnancy, so big thanks to all of you who encouraged & informed me along the way! Now, I have a new set of concerns. According to my BMI, I am still obese - I…

yoga?
I have completed the C25K program & will be running my 1st 5K tomorrow. I have been so focused on getting ready for this race that I haven't really thought about any other kinds of exercise, but now that this deadline is almost behind me, I am thinking about branching out. I have a Wii Fit, and was planning on adding yoga…

5K tips?
I have been doing C25K, and I am running my first 5K race this coming Saturday morning. This will be my first time doing anything like this, so I wondered if any of the experienced runners on here had any tips for me for dealing with an actual race day? The thing I am most concerned about is maintaining my pace - I am…

weight loss slowing down
I would appreciate hearing some advice from those of you who have been there, done that! I just weighed in after my 8th week watching my calorie intake, and I am frustrated by the trend that I am seeing on the scale. I am still losing, but it is has really slowed down the past few weeks. Two weeks ago, I lost 1.6 pounds,…

Losing too quickly??
I know some people might think I am crazy for asking this, but I am a little concerned that I am losing weight too quickly. I have MFP set up to lose 2 lbs a week (my BMI is in the obese category, so 2 lbs a week is reasonable). I am eating 1200 calories per day - some days slightly under, some days slightly over - on one…
