Yearly Health Screen Results
A little back story - I lost 100lbs using MFP in 2011-2012 and from late 2012-2015 I put on 60lbs of that. I've been on a journey to regain control and get back to what I was and beyond. We had our yearly health screening at work tonight and I'm WAY excited for the results. I'm morbidly obese so these results were awesome…

300lbs+ & Clothing Sizes (Progression Pics 46lbs loss)
Hello people! So when I started this adventure I was 388 (eek!...never again!) and I'm now 341. Heck, I believe I was more but my scale was broken right after I started MFP. Anyway, I'm curious of how much weight or inches you lost when you started to drop sizes? I was wearing 26/28 stretch pants so who really knows what…

Clothing Sizes - 26/28 and Higher
As of the other day I've lost 99.2lbs and I'm STILL in the same size clothes I was when I was 100lbs heavier. The tops are a lot loser and granted I can now actually FIT into 26/28 regular pants (with butter/zippers minus elastic) but I'm wondering when I'm gonna drop into the next size down. It seems for smaller people…

Weighing in after workout/gym time
Is it accurate? I thought I'd show a gain but I had a significant loss after my gym workout today and I haven't seen a loss in about a month. Would logging this loss be totally inaccurate or is a safe thing to do? Is it a true loss? I was drinking water also and still no gain. Finally seeing the scale move after for long…

No More Sandwiches! (I<3Sandwiches)
I DO!!! But I wanna venture out. My go-to lunch & no time dinners is always sandwiches. It's always been like that...since I can remember. I've never gone over carbs on MFP (well never say never but 99% of the time I don't even come close). Today was the first time I can remember going over on carbs and I know carbs aren't…

Belly deflating...Hips hurting..
So when I started this journey I was incredibly close to 400lbs, 388 to be exact. Since March I've dropped 74lbs doing it the right way. I eat my calories, I exercise regularly, drinking plenty of water, and most important... I enjoy life and if I want something I'll eat it. It seems with my loss my skin on my stomach is…

Calculate Swimming into Miles??
How do you track mileage in the pool? I planned on getting my walk on today but It's gonna be over 90° today so I think I'll skip that lol. So, I thought I'd hit the pool to do some swimming but I don't know how to calculate the mileage. The pool is an average 6ft rectangular pool. Help? Thanks!

Fresh & Easy
I can't stand pre-made frozen meals but that's mainly because they are gross and pumped full of sodium. They don't even include real chicken it's just pressed chicken into form. Anyway, I've recently discovered FRESH & EASY Eat Well line of meals are AWESOME! There are items that have a fair bit of sodium/calories but I…

I bought one of those beauties up there. I have NEVER made one, I don't even know if I've tried one lol. I saw Hungry Girl make a recipe with it and thought I'd give the veggie a try.

HRM/Calories Burned - to log or not to log?
