Low carb diets
Hi, Does anyone know of a good "low carb" plan to follow. I'm not looking for something super restrictive (like Atkins), but somethiing I can maintain because I've noticed that I'm a carb junkie and I believe that's what has made me gain weight. Any help you can offer me would be appreciated! :)

Having trouble staying on track with MFP
The last few weeks have been really rough (diet-wise) and I'm finding myself falling off the wagon. I haven't logged my food consistently and I've been craving (and then eating) a lot of junk. Any advice on how to stay motivated would be greatly appreciated. I'm scared I'm going to fall of the diet wagon completely...

I feel guilty...
I was craving a burger yesterday and decided to go for it since I had over 500 calories left. I ended up getting a the Big Bacon Classic from Wendy's (terrible choice, I know) and FRIES and ended up going WAY over my calories for the day. Now I feel guilty and still a little bloated from eating that junk. It's times like…

"Healthy" take-out options
I am trying to avoid having "Cheat DAYS" every week because I don't want to blow an entire week's work in one day and I think in last few weeks I've been pretty successful, but once a week my boyfriend and I like to go out for dinner - I usually limit it to Friday nights after work. I know Subway for the most part is okay…

Just Dance 2 + HRM = 1 Awesome Workout
I just bought a HRM (Polar) and Just Dance 2 this weekend and I love them BOTH! I burned about 300 calories in an hour playing Just Dance on my Wii. Who says exercising had to be boring??? The only problem is, I'm in a bit of pain today (I got REALLY into it). I can't wait to do it again when I get home from work tonight!!

Calories, calaries, CALORIES!!!
I'm confused. How much over your daily calorie intake can you go without it causing you to gain weight? MFP puts me at 1200 a day and in the last few days my intake has been around 1400 per day.

Zumba for Wii
I have the Nintendo Wii and I'm thinking about gettting Zumba (I've heard great things about it on this site). How does it work? Do you really burn a lot of calories on it? Also, I don't have any mobility in my legs (I'm in a wheelchair), so will Zumba still work for me? I'm really looking to find alternative ways to…

MFP vs. Weight Watchers
Last year I joined Weight Watchers and lost about 20 lbs. After getting annoyed with calculating the points and tracking everything I gave up and gained almost all of the weight I lost back again. I'm relatively new to MFP, so I am wondering: DOES IT REALLY WORK? I'm really trying to find a weight loss method that I can…

Water?
Okay, I have to be honest, I HATE drinking water. I know it's healthy for you and helps with weight loss, but I suck at drinking the proper amount every day. Most days I'm lucky to have drank 1/3 of what you're supposed drink. Does anyone have any advice as to how I should improve my daily water consumption? I've tried…

Weekend binging
I noticed that I tend to binge on weekend. I live in downtown Toronto and there are TONS of great restaurants around and I'm always tempted by them, especially on weekends. I'm pretty good at curbing my cravings for unhealthy foods during the week, but when the weekend comes, it's not so easy. Do many of you find that this…

I think I'm eating too much processed food. HELP!
I'm finding that I can't stop eating pre-made, processed foods, especially when I go to work. I bring a Lean Cuisine frozen dinner for lunch every day because it's easier than trying to make something before work and it's already portioned out for me. I bring fruit and other healthy foods with me to work, but my main meal…
