In search of supportive friends :)
Hi everyone! My name is Lindsey, and I'd like to make some more friends on here. I am currently in the pre-program stage of Gastric Bypass surgery (meaning that my supervised six month weight loss period starts in February). I've met with a nutritionist one time so far and now I'm on a liver reduction diet which…

be my friend/motivator
Hi all. I'm starting over again. A couple years ago I was using this site religiously (I had over a year of logging in a row!) I was down 50 pounds and feeling great! Then I started an office job where I did nothing but sit on my butt in front of a computer and snack. Then the snacks turned into drinking pop again (which I…

trying this again
Hey guys! I'm back to MFP after about a year of ruining myself. When I was on here before, I lost about 50 pounds. Then I let a combination of stupid guys and a secretary job ruin all of my hard work and break my spirit. I've decided to get back at this and I'm going to try to lose more than that 50 pounds this time. I'm…

Ceaser Salad
Question - How many calories are in a ceaser salad? I searched the database and could only find chicken ceaser salad. Mine does not have dressing or chicken in it. After browsing yahoo for a calorie amount, I just did a quick add for 300 calories to my diary but I figured I'd post on here too. All my salad has in it is…

push up question
I have a question for everyone. How different are the benefits of full body pushups from the benefits of "girl" pushups on your knees? I had knee surgery a little over a year ago and still am not able to do the full body pushups. Should I be pushing myself to strengthen and do the full body ones or am I doing just as much…

the scale monster!
Are any of you obsessed with your scale? How often do you weigh yourself? I'm not talking about how often you weigh in on mfp but how often you actually step on the scale. I'm terrible about it...it's almost like I can't see it without getting on it. Sometimes I find a larger number to be a motivator even though I know…

question about my feet
I didn't know which forum section to put this question in, so I chose this one. I am just curious...has anyone who lost weight had any difference in their feet? I realize this seems like a very random question, but today I was trying to find comfortable sandals to wear to work and my feet are just too wide to fit into…

Starting Over
Hi everyone, I'm Lindsey. I'm not new to MFP...I joined sometime in early 2011. I lost almost 40 pounds...but ended up gaining ten of those pounds back. I gave up on this site because I didn't feel it was working for me to keep trying. I want to start over. I have a LOT of weight to lose...this time last year I weighed…

Dukan Diet
Has anyone here heard of the Dukan Diet? I read about it this morning in one of my mom's magazines. Does it work? I read that it's got a great success rate, but has anyone on here actually tried it? I'm thinking of trying it, but I have to figure out how safe it is and if it's worth cutting out everything i've ever liked…

fiber question
I recently was given a paper by my doctor with his recommendations for losing weight. On it, he suggested that I get 35g or more of fiber per day. MFP estimates that I should be having 18. Should I ignore the doctor or MFP? Thanks!!!!

Ok, I have a question, but before I ask it I'd just like to ask that people please be nice to one another in their replies to this. I've been reading some of the forum posts on this topic and people have basically been biting each others' heads off. We're all going through the same struggle here people. Just be nice...if…
