What is everyone eating for breakfast?
I'm not usually hungry for a good hour or two after I get up (I can't force myself to eat when I'm not hungry; it makes me sick to my stomach) and by then I'm at work so breakfast has to be light (I get about 20 minutes to eat, sometimes less), portable and something that won't spoil easily (I drive a school bus). I've…

How do you motivate yourself to work out when you're too tired and you have little time?
Sorry if this is long, but I just want to give everyone as much info as possible. My husband and I get up at 4am for work. I REALLY do not want to get up earlier than that, as I can't get to bed before 9pm as it is and it's usually closer to 10. I don't get home from work until 5pm and my husband a little after, so that…

Hello! Not new, but have not been on the boards in years
Hi all! I've been using MFP for years, but not as well as I should. I fall off the wagon a lot. I thought coming on the boards more frequently might help me get back on track and stay motivated. I did come on the boards back in 2013 and 2014, but it's been so long that I thought a reintroduction might be in order. I'm 45…

I'll be 42 next month. I'm 5'7" and 172lbs. I'm mostly sedentary, but am planning to start walking again this week (this evening, in fact). I have a bad habit of eating too much junk, but even when I try to eat healthy I find that I make choices that I think are good, but when I read the nutrition info it turns out the…

I cannot seem to stay within my calorie goal
My daily calorie goal is 1800. Almost every single day I go over it by a few hundred. Today it was a cup of whole wheat spaghetti noodles, at 800 calories, that put me over. How am I supposed to stay within my calorie range when even relatively healthy foods seem to be high in calories? I never thought a cup of cooked…

Just realized I never introduced myself
I joined back in May but have been really lax about getting going. Maybe if I start posting and have some accountability to other members, I'll be more motivated! I'll be 41 this month and have struggled with my weight since my early 30's. Prior to that I had the opposite problem: I couldn't gain weight to save my life! I…

I'm new, wanting to lose about 35 lbs
Hi everyone! I just joined this site. I've been struggling with my weight for years and recently had a baby at 40, so now I'm even more motivated to improve my health and fitness for her sake as well as my own. I just entered my breakfast in the food diary today and what an eye opener! So far this morning I've had a small…
