Arm fat
I feel like I have gained arm fat... granted I am not working out currently because I am just starting to up my caloric intake, so they have not seen much action. My weight has stayed the same or gone done a little but I feel my arms are much more flabbier. Is this possible? Am I eating things that attribute to this?

Why am I so fat right now?
Over the past week my belly has been getting bigger (no, I am not pregnant, lol). It's been about a month that I have not been able to reach 1200 calories daily, for most of the time. It's very hard for me to do this since I am a picky eater and have lost an appetite for meat. I have a hard time getting in enough water as…

I have no discipline
My boyfriend comes and visits me on the weekends. He eats a lot of junk. Well today I ate 5 piece nugget and medium fry at Wendys. Tonight he ordered pizza, wings and cheese filled breadsticks.... I had almost one whole breadstick, one wing, and 3/4 a slice of white spinach bacon pizza!!!!!!!!!!! =( I have NOT reached 1200…

Eating disorder vs. dieting?
This is a difficult subject to analyze for me. I have been told that I may have an eating disorder NOS (not otherwise specified), but then my sister is telling me that I don't and my obsessiveness with tracking my food is what everyone does when they diet. I overanalyze food, I am scared of going above my macros, I think…

Am I being too restrictive?
Take a look at my diary... I have not been eating the amount of calories that I should. I have been under for a while, since I find it hard to reach anything higher without going above my macros. I really try to stay within all my macros, mostly carbs, sugars and sodium. I am rarely over in fat. I am trying to get as much…

Just ate Mcdonald's
So I haven't had fast food in a while. I have been on this medicine that has made me lose my appetite so I kind of justified eating fast food tonight, since I've been under my calorie goal for almost two weeks (it's extremely difficult to get that much food in when you have no appetite). But I have been trying. Anyway... I…

No appetite.. HELP!
I am on this medication that really decreases my appetite, and it wasn't until today that I started feeling it's major effects... My appetite is not there. I mostly have to force myself to eat something but even that is hard because, I seem to only want certain things, and I don't feel I can stomach eating something that I…

Someone critique my diary?
I feel like I've been at this same number for two weeks or so. I would like someone to take a look at my diary and see what I could be doing better... I'm scared to eat a lot of fruit in a day because of the high sugar content, even though it's natural. What is a good carb amount to eat for 1200-1500 calories? Does anyone…

Depressed... what happened? :(
For the past few days I have been seriously bloated. I don't only look it, but really feel it. I've been trying to drink enough water. It's not the TOM. Been keeping an eye on my sodium, except for last night. I have not been to the gym in a little over a week because I have been bogged down by finishing my online class,…

A pound heavier?!
Woke up this morning and I'm a pound heavier than I have been all week. Never went over my calories, in fact, i have been under them quite a few days just because I am struggling to get them all in. Only went over sodium A LOT once. Is it because I only got 3 hours of sleep last night??

Carbs
What would you recommend for my carb intake when I am 144 lbs, 5'4" ? It's currently set to around 184. I am not sure if that is too high or low. I look at other people's diaries and their carbs are so much higher! All of mine seem to be on the low end.

Big stomach =(
My stomach just bloated after these past couple days, but I weigh the same. It gets even bigger after I eat of course, but I just wanna cry!

Breaking down...help
I am sitting here really angry and upset, crying because there is nothing to eat in the house. My parents only have a limited grocery budget and my mom needs to feed me my dad, brother, her, me and my boyfriend and sometimes my nephew. I don't have a job since I am only home for the summer and no one will hire me. I am so…

What do you do when you want fast food?
Like burger king, wendys, etc. Sometimes, I just want some friggen french fries and a burger! But then I look up the nutritional information on their website and it usually deters me, but I still want them. Do you guys let yourself eat fast food once in a while? Does it hinder your progress?

If everyday were like today, you'd weigh.....
Thursday my diary said I'd weigh 141 in 5 weeks. Today it said I'd weigh 144.5 in 5 weeks. My intake numbers are pretty much the same for both of those days. So does that mean I ate like crap today since it's telling me I'd weigh more than the other day? What gives?

Foods with carbs and calories, no sodium?
I am only at half my intake for today since I exercised. I am pretty much at my limit for sodium, but still have a lot to go for calories, and perhaps carbs. Any ideas on what to eat that may be low sodium and carb and calorie filled? :P No sugar.. do you count fruit as sugar?

Struggling to eat more on workout days
I entered in my food for today, and I earned about 300 calories from working out for an hour today, give or take. With more of a calorie deficit now, this leaves me with 700 calories left for the evening. What am I supposed to do?!? This happens when I work out.

How many calories should I be eating?
I have eaten 1200 or so calories for the past month, and have decided to up them due to a three week stall in my weight loss. MFP has me at 1200 calories for losing 1.5 lbs a week, and around 1500 for .5 lbs a week. I feel like I should eat around 1400-1600 since 1200 hasn't been working. But on days I work out, how many…

Do I eat too much dairy? Also, plateau..
I seem to eat kashi cereal and fat free milk every morning, and an egg seems to always make its way into my diet, as well as a slice of swiss cheese and yogurt. Is this too much dairy? I am not really creative or imaginative when it comes to this... Granted, I eat a lot of fruit as well, and usually only lean meat at…

Feel so fat.
I have been eating about 1100-1200 calories for the past month, and have decided to up them since 1) I just started an exercise regime and am no longer losing weight and 2) I have realized that it's healthier. I burned a total of about 270 calories today on the elliptical, went for 40 minutes at an average pace of about…

Feeling so discouraged.
I have been off and on with eating healthy for the past year, but for the past month I have really tried to eat better , daily. Since about a month ago, I have lost about 5-6 lbs, with diet alone (could be water weight or something). Recently I just started up an exercise regime at the gym and tomorrow will be my 5th day.…
