Take Pictures!
I am well into my weightloss journey and one big regret I have is, I didn't' take any before pics to compare my progression with. I was so disgusted at the time I couldn't bring myself to document it. Don't miss out like I did. Hopefully, now will be your only chance to capture yourself this size.

Highest Calorie Log?
I promised myself I would log all food daily no matter what! Sometimes it's scary how much I can eat. Just curious to see what everybody else does on a high cal day. What's your highest number logged and what, if any, damage did it do?

Weight loss jealousy
In 2011 I went through a painful divorce and gained weight. Since June of this year, I have lost over 30 lbs.. I am 10 lbs. from goal weight and I am pleased. Unfortunately some of my co-workers, with whom I spend most of my time, have turned on me. I am extremely careful not to talk about food, exercise or anything…

HUNGRY!
What's wrong with me today? I'm so hungry! I woke up this way and I can't shake it. It's all I can do to talk myself out of eating everything in sight. I have never had a day like this in my entire four month journey logging food. Anybody else have a hungry day? Where did this hunger come from?

Attracted to long or short hair?
Just turned 53 last week and I am struggling, should I cut my hair? It has been long my entire life and I'm afraid it will be a mistake I cannot undo or fix. Shallow? Maybe. I'm curious, what are you attracted to in either gender and why?

Figuring calories burned help please
At 160 lbs. MFP says I burn 145 calories per hour cooking/food preparation. Although I am on my feet doing some sort of food prep the entire day (6.5 hrs. minus break time) this would add up to be 942.5 calories daily. I find this hard to believe. Can anybody help me figure the accuracy of my work day caloric burn?

Calorie Confused Please Help
If I add a slice of bacon is the fat/calorie content on the package counted as cooked or raw? Obviously the fat content depends on how you cook it and how much fat is rendered before you consume it. Any insight will be appreciated. :smile:
