I'm back!
dont worry, i didnt let myself gain any weight over the summer. but i found out im not good at staying active when its hot. i didnt lose weight, either. but im okay with that. i think it puts a good balance in my year, of time working hard and time to just take it easy. (so long as i dont gain it back taking it TOO easy…

Trying not to give up...
It seems for so long now I've been bouncing between 180 - 188... i know why. I get down,and i always think "surely a little treat wont ruin it all, and i've earned it." and i gain from it, then that little discouraged stress eater voice says "have some more" the next day. you see the pattern... for a while, i've managed to…

Ladies: what do you do for YOUR cramps?
I'm on a limited supply of pain killers, so i want to save them for the really bad days. I used to always settle the pain with food and coffee. idk why that worked for me, but it really helped. I dont want to stuff my face like that anymore, so im looking for some help on other ways to relieve the pain. Sorry if this is a…

going to a friends house, what's appropriate?
This friend knows that im counting calories, so i dont think it would be that bad if i brought my own snack for the day. since her family would never do such a thing as counting calories, food selection over there can become an issue. last time i was there i ended up eating 660 calories worth of one cup of soup, and thats…

Will my deficit eventually change?
As i lose weight and speed up my metabolism, eventually 1490 calories in a day wont be enough to feed me. so i was just wondering if MFP adjusted to that as weight changes and time goes on? for the time being, im perfectly fine with that much food. but i know i'll need to eat more later on.

Measurements - what just happened?
updated my photo dairy the other day! i was really happy with the difference i didn't expect to see. After putting in the photos, i start taking my measurements to add into the log. I didnt even lose a full ten pounds and i lost an entire inch around my thighs, my hips, my stomach, and my waist! but not my arms. they…

33% rule? (fitness noob question)
I've been looking things up trying to find out how many calories i need to BURN in order to lose weight. I finally got myself comfortable eating a healthy amount, it ranges from 15-1300 calories every day. but now i need to modify my workout. During the research i came across something called "the 33% rule" the guy…

new scale, new numbers...
I always knew my scale was off, its extremely old but all i had to work with. my friends and i always called it "the friendly scale" because it knocked off a good ten pounds lol. well, apparently that changed and i was unaware of it. My friend gave me a new scale last night, and i couldn't wait to get on it this morning. i…

Looking for new workout moves!
I figure i can get the best moves from real people with real experience. I do tabata style workouts, so i can do whatever i want as long as i can do it fast and hard. What im working with: body weight, 2 five pounds weights, and yoga mat. I've been trying to find new moves that work my abs without killing my legs, for…

light, moderate, vigorous effort?
a bit new here, sorry if this has been covered before. considering everyone has different fitness levels, how do i know exactly what i should log in? See, i just got a stationary bike. i havent been on a bike since i was 10 lol. so, what feels like a bit of vigorous effort to me, i think might be considered moderate effort…

best app for walking/running?
I've used smart runner and im currently using runtastic. I have a windows phone, and im looking for a trusted app to monitor distance, speed, and calories burned. Since i dont hold one steady pace i don't like just logging in one pace for X amount of time here on MFP, because i don't think im getting the right amount of…

not eating enough, but im not hungry?
I eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a snack through out the day. but im still not getting enough calories in. I tried forcing myself to get at least 1,000 calories, and i went a little over but i felt sick and over fed. I am working on speeding up my metabolism, and i believe it's working because the need for a snack per…

That "just one bite" feeling...
It's not the same as throwing your hands up and quitting. it's a little different, just a momentary weakness for the old bad habits. You tell yourself you just want one little bite of a chocolate bar, but you know you're going to eat the whole thing and you know you're going to be filled with regret and grief after it. but…

Family rant >.<
I'm trying to do the best i can, but when my vote means very little in the house we end up with junk food. The kind of foods that literally make me sick, and sometimes i feel like im silently being mocked for trying to be healthy in my own home. The other day i went on a small rampage about the food in the house and how it…

Why aren't my arms getting sore?
When im going through my workout, my arms get so burned up and tired it's hard to just keep the weights in my hands! I always feel like im doing great when that happens, but the next day im not sore. every thing else will be sore, and the rest of my body didn't even burn like that. I thought maybe i should change the…

Old account, New beginning
I actually had forgotten I had this account until I tried to make a new one and was told my email address was already in use lol. I don't really know anyone who is as serious as i am about losing weight and getting healthy, so i find myself at a lack of support a lot. When im doing going everyone's there to tell me im…
