Terrified to ask, but getting frustrated
Ok, I know that asking this is asking for people to pick me apart, but I think I may be at the point where I need that now.... My weight loss has puttered to a stop already and I really just got started. My weight has been fluctuating since the beginning, but it was trending down... Now it just seems stuck between 303-300.…

What is happening?! UGH!
So I'm pretty ticked off.... I just bought a heart rate monitor and used it for the first time today in my Zumba class. I got it specifically because I wanted to make sure I was logging my exercise calorie loss correctly. I set it all up and when class was over (it's about a 55min class) I looked at my calories burned and…

Question about logging
So, I wanted to see if this method makes sense to anyone else, or if I'm just messing up logging. Yesterday I ate quite a bit over my calorie goal, so today I did my workout in the morning and instead of logging it on today, i logged it for yesterday. So in theory, I ate back my exercise calories yesterday so I don't need…

securing the girls for exercise
Hello ladies. I have run into a bit of an issue with my new workout routine. (Warning... possible TMI ahead.) I just started a new, very high impact, Zumba class and I can't for the life of me keep the girls from hitting me in the face when I'm bouncing all around! I've been wearing a sports bra and a fitness top with a…

feeling guilty
So, today I feel like I ate like a big, fat pig. This was supposed to be my "getting back into the swing of things" day, but I feel like a failure -- even though I came in under my calorie goal. I don't know why but I was just super hungry all day and so I just kept eating. It started out with a well portioned out snack…

Quit Smoking AND Lost 7lbs :)
I quit smoking about a month ago and I've been doing MFP for about 3 or so weeks. All these years I put off quitting smoking because I didn't want to gain *even more* weight. I've always been fluffy, but I was weighing in at my highest weight ever --over 300lbs-- and decided enough is enough (with the smoking and the…

tasting while cooking
Hey guys. Sorry, I feel like I'm blowing up the message boards today, but I have another question. How do you account for calories when you are cooking. I honestly can't cook without tasting as I go... It's the only way I know how to cook. Do you try to measure as you taste or do you just add in an extra small percent of a…

Question... Salt and sugar vs calories.
Ok, I know that to be healthy you have to eat healthy.... that means the right amount of calories, fat, fiber, sodium etc. I get that. But for now, I'd like to just loose some weight so I can finish a zumba class or walk up a few flights of stairs without feeling like I'm gonna die. So my question is if I'm over on my…

I need advice from women about... woman things....
Ladies.... what do you do when it's your TOM?? All I want to do is binge eat and then cry about it. I'm going crazy and it feels out of control. I've been doing so good and yesterday I just let my diet go to hell. I'm trying to have more self control today, but all I really want to do is eat everything in sight that is bad…
