Stuck at same Weight!
I have now been stuck at the same weight for 5 weeks. Did not lose or gain even 1 oz. Any advice. My calorie goal is set at 1200. I generally eat 1000 to 1100 calories a day. I exercise every day and do not add the calories back to eat. I'm getting so frustrated I'm ready to quit. I have lost lbs. in earlier weeks, but…

Diet Soda Cake Revisited
So I finally tried the Diet Soda Cake. I used the sugar-free Devil's Food cake mix and Diet Pepsi. Estimating calories at 120 for 38 grams (per cake mix box). I just had a small square that equaled to about 100 calories and I have to say I was a little disappointed. It had a very strange after-taste and I don't know if…

Photos - 25 lbs. down!
I haven't posted many photos, but now that I'm 25 lbs. down, I thought I would see what you all think. Unfortunately I didn't take the 1st photo in my bathing suit, but that was the beginning.... the 2nd photo was 12 lbs. down and the 3rd, which I took today, is 25 lbs. gone! I honestly don't see a big difference in the…

Muscles Weight More Than Fat ???
So I see this statement posted over and over again and I just have to question it. Why would you say that muscles weight more than fat? In my experience (and I could be very wrong), a pound is a pound is a pound. One pound of muscle is one pound. One pound of fat is one pound. Why would one be heavier than the other if you…

What Are Your "Strange" Eating Habits
As I sit here eating my homemade chili (made with ground turkey, of course), I realize that everytime I eat chili, I do it the same way. First I will eat all the beans, then I will eat the meat, and then finally I will eat the juice. I ALWAYS eat it like that..... not sure why. What are some of your "strange" eating…

Weighing Foods
Ok.... so I've been weighing and measuring all my foods since July when I started and I think I may have been weighing some items wrong! For instance..... tonight I had some hash brown potatoes. I just got a new food scale and decided to compare. The serving size on the bag says 1/2 cup. In the PAST..... I would weigh out…

Eating Times?
My question is this... does it really matter what time you eat your meals or how often? Generally I eat my breakfast, lunch and dinner at "normal" times, which some snacks, usually in the evenings. But on weekends, I am a sleeper and not an eater! For instance, yesterday, I slept late and once I'm got up I began my errands…

My newest NSV!
A couple years ago I bought a college-logo shirt at my son's college (without trying it on) and when I got home, I found out it was WAY too small! I hung it in my closet and it's been hanging there ever since.....never once worn. This morning I was trying to figure out what to wear to work on casual Friday and saw it…

Wii Fit Scale
Does anyone know how accurate the Wii Fit scale is? I generally use my regular bathroom scale, but it doesn't weigh in oz. I noticed my Wii Fit scale weighs me about close to 2 lbs. less than my regular scale (since I started comparing the two). I, OF COURSE, would like to take credit for the lower weight, but no sure how…

New Sparkling Water
This isn't a recipe, but I just found a new sparkling water flavor at Walmart - 0 calories, 0 everything! And the best thing is it is Pineapple Coconut flavor. I was kind of wary about it, but it tastes just like a sparking Pina Colada, but without the rum and calories. My new favorite drink! Cheers!! :drinker: The brand…

Would Like Some Advice...
Little background..... I started MFP the 1st of July and to date I have lost 18 lbs. The 1st couple of weeks I lost 1-2 lbs. per week and since then I have CONSISTENTLY lost 1 lb. per week.

New NSV Today!
So... as my weight gradually increased over the last 2 years, so did the size of my clothes! I went from a 14, to a 16.. and the last size I bought was an 18. I noticed my pants have been getting looser and looser... but still wearable so I didn't really think I could fit into any of my old clothes again yet. But this…

Delightful NSV!
Today I noticed that the one and only ring that I have that still fits was really loose and sliding around. Well, my mom used to give me a new ring every year for Christmas and I have a whole jewelry box full of very expensive rings that I have been unable to wear.... because as my body GREW.... my fingers did too! When I…

Nice Back to Work NSV
It's always hard to go back to work after holiday off..... but I had a nice surprise today! One of my co-workers was on vacation all last week and when she saw me these morning, she complimented on how good I looked and she could really tell I'd lost weight! Of course, I only lost 1 lb since I last saw her, but maybe that…

Pasta Question
So yesterday I tried some Spaghetti Squash with a delicious spicy marinara sauce. Well.... I'm probably in the minority here, but I actually hated the squash! I didn't even like the squash plain.... but I disliked it even more with the sauce. I just can get past the consistency of the strands I think. So my question…

A Gassy Question
So I love the new Fiber 1 bars and the Fiber 1 Brownies, but I (and a coworker of mine) have both experienced an unpleasant side effect from eating them. It is called GAS! I'm not talking about a little gas..... I'm talking about a feeling bloated and uncomfortable and don't come near me gas! :noway: I am assuming it's…

Temptation NSV
This morning a coworker brought a whole big boxful of Krispy Kreme donuts in and set them in the coffee room. I am happy to say that I walked right by them and can honestly say that it didn't really bother me! Before MFP, I would have grabbed one or two along with my coffee. This morning I just snubbed my nose at them and…
