WTF?!
After working out three times this week, I stepped on the scale today and somehow , managed to gain a pound. I guess even if I work out, I'm not allowed to go over my calories , ever, not even once. I guess the fact that I went over by 275 and one 159 one time makes a big difference, but I expected to maintain my weight if…

To Log or Not to Log, that is...not the question!
I went to a Turkish restaurant -to celebrate the arrival of a friend of the family's new baby-today and for the first time really, I was unable to log anything I ate , literally for like 3 hours. Here I was thinking, oh , well, I have about 900+ calories left. I should be fine. Since everything had been ordered ahead -and…

I wish there were some way on here....
And maybe I don't know this-because I haven't actually gone through all the mechanics of MFP-but I wish there were some way do a search for members in your area , that way you could friend people and do meet ups and have work out buddies and stuff.

In need of some support
I'm currently in that part of my journey that I like to call the "in between". I've lost a little weight, and it's kind of noticable, but not noticable enough that someone will say that I really look different. My clothing is looser on me, where it doesn't really look good, but it's not big enough to the point where it's…

S.O.S. logging!!!
I'm at a passover dinner and I'm trying to log on my app. And the food i' trying to log doesn't seem to exist in the database. I looked it up online. So I could create a new food and nothing! I find recipe listings, but not the caloric amount. Immediate help would be much appreciated! Here's what I'm looking for: Potato…

If I'm in a situation where I can't weigh my food?
I was at a class session today and we had dinner in between and one of the things I had was potato kugel. I looked it up online and it's 300 calories for 5 oz. Question is, how do I know the difference between 5oz and 1oz? Like what does it look like so I know how much to put down? the potato kugel I had was like a square…

The age old question!
Wasn't sure where this was supposed to go , but, I want to get a more accurate log when I do my measurements. Since a lot of things are a cup or parts of a cup, I wanted to know, when the things on website refer to that, what kind of cup should I actually be using? I don't really own a measuring cup. I know that I should…

Calorie binge v. Starvation HELP!
Lately I feel like I've been horrendously going over my calories by like 700 (ok, so that was a few random days here and there) or more so going way under like by 400-500. I have read stuff on here about "starvation mode" and such and maybe I need to examine what I'm eating more and whether it's both filling and healthy,…

Calories vs. Hunger
I wasn't sure which sub board to post this in, so I do hope it's in the right place. I had this weird situation today where I only consumed like 600 calories and due to my job being the way it is my two meals for the day were about 6 hours apart, which isn't healthy at all, but I didn't really get to eat before I left the…

Question about Smoothies
I had one made at a juice bar this morning, but the database didn't have the specific one that I had made so I just broke it down by ingredients, which I'm hoping is accurate. I don'tknow if the calories change when fruits are blended together. I also was not paying attention when the barista made it so I had to estimate…

Muscle vs. Fat (loosing weight)
what exercises or what kind of excercise should I do that is targeted towards losing weight instead of gaining muscle. My biggest problem area is my waist. I'm one of those people that have a body shape that is -male but I'm female-a reverse triangle. I have broad shoulders, a large chest and a large stomach. I feel like…

Eggs
I tried looking for this on the food database, but since I didn't know what it was called , I logged by ingredients. The food I'm talking about is when you take bread and dip it into beaten eggs and then fry it on a pan. I put in "griddle cakes" but didn't find what I was looking for. So I just put in 'fried eggs' and…

Nutritional Facts
Wasn't sure where to post this. There isn't a "help with finding food in database" sub-board. I'm trying to get the nutritional facts for: Bindi Mixed Berry cake so I can log it in. It doesn't seem to exist anywhere nor can I find anything similar to it in the database. I'm not comfortable with just listing it and eye…

Greeting, from the bottom of the sugar barrel!
5'2''.5 but not quite petite, chatty, amiable, walking contradiction with a major sweet tooth here! Not quite sure what else to say. Hmmm...let's see..friend of mine encouraged me to try this website and since I had already lost a little weight (6 lbs) and was starting to gain it back, I figured I had nothing to lose. I…
