Does your actual stomach really shrink?
So I tried looking this up online, to not trouble you all with what may be a boring question. But I got some ads and weird diet tips instead. So... Is it true that when you stop overeating at meals, and eating so much, that your stomach shrinks? I ask this because I just ate dinner. Small salad, small fish, and a small…

Nutritional Yeast
I saw this on a cooking show, and was wondering if anyone has cooked with it? It seems to be an amazing replacement for so many different things. Says it has a cheesy, kinda nutty taste. And you can make mac and cheese, bread chicken, make 'grits', etc... But first, I have no idea where to find it. I've never seen it…

So, this is embarrassing. And possibly TMI, but please help.
Ok. So here goes. I come to you all with red, embarrassed cheeks but needing help. For as long as I can remember, years...I've had 90% of the time suffered from diarrhea. When I was 130lbs, when I was 160lbs, now. I go around 5 times or more a day. And whatever I eat, I read is supposed to take at least a day to go through…

Thank you all so much!
I just wanted to take a moment and thank all of you for the support you have given me. I have used MFP a lot in the past, but never the forums. And you have all been so welcoming and supportive. I have dieted a lot, and with varied minor and major successes...then failures. But reading the threads every day has helped me…

Need more protein...advice?
I find myself eating less meat in my new lifestyle choice. Some days none at all, and I don't want my protein to suffer. What are foods found at a regular grocery store with high protein and low calories? And please don't say beans, I can't eat them. I have a huge aversion to them. I gag when I try. I try with eggs, but…

Been told not to lose weight...
Ok, so outside of this forum, only a few very close friends know I want to get pregnant soon. That is why I knew it was time to get healthy. Two weeks ago my 5'7" body weighed in at 206. I'm big! And I know it needs to change. My idea was that I would start clean eating to prepare the body and let my liver and kidneys…

Not Eating Enough??
Ok, any other time I've dieted...I go nuts. Wanting something delicious and wonderful and carb and sugar loaded. This time, for some blissful reason, I'm not like that. In three weeks, have not cheated or wanted to cheat yet. I exercise, eat healthy. But the thing is, I'm never hungry! I am taking no diet or appetite…

Unsure of Weight Loss Goal - For Mothers
My goal right now is 160 lbs, which according to a BMI chart is still one pound overweight (I like round numbers, sorry...) Before, I'd tell you I'd want to get back down to the 130-140 range. However, my husband and I are eager to have a baby. At 5'7", and currently at 206lbs, is this healthy enough? How heavy were you…

Net Calories - What If I Don't Reach Them?
I still have 370+ calories for today, and still haven't eaten the eggs and mustard on my food diary. If I am not hungry, should I still make myself reach my calorie goal? Today was my off day, so the goal is only 1,200 calories (also, is this okay for 5'7" 206lbs?). What do I do if this happens on a day I do exercise?

Net Calories?
I've seen a couple other users mention net calories. And I would like some clarification. In the past, and now, I would eat 'x' amount of calories, say 1,200 calories. No more then that. And also exercise. So if I'm eating 1,200 calories. But burn off 300, am I supposed to eat 300 (healthy) calories? I've never done that…

Forget diet, I need to be healthy!
I've been heavy since I was young. Starting the end of elementary school. I was bullied heavily, which led to emotional eating. Which led to more bullying. I hated my youth. Even my parents were not supportive. I tried dieting off and on to no avail. At the end of highschool I weighed about 200 pounds, at 5'7". I went to…

Experience with T25?
I started on Monday, and so far LOVE it. Has modified moves, which is good because I'm very out of shape. It is only 25 minutes so but you will sweat! However, though my lower body is sore, my upper body is lacking I feel. Has anyone else done T25? Do later workouts in the program work more on the upper body? I'm thinking…
