How did you stop Yoyo'ing?
Hi Guys, I've successfully used MFP to lose weight before and I've given other people advice on how to do the same thing in the past but now I feel like I'm in a slump that I can't get out of. I feel like I can't break out of this binge/over eating obsession that I have right now. I give up on calorie counting before noon…

Can this become anorexia?
I've been watching a lot of the show "Supersize Vs. Superskinny". In each episode they have an overweight and under weight person swap diets for a week to teach each of them that they're intake is wrong. Of course the super skinny people usually have been diagnosed with anorexia. They talk about their obsession with food…

Deadlift form check
Hi again, Earlier this week a personal trainer saw me doing deadlifts and came over to tell me I was doing them wrong. He told me that my back was arching too far inwards. Now I was dizzy at the time after the deadlifts so I might have misunderstood him. I'm starting to think he meant that I was arching my back outwards…

Running in the rain
So on Tuesday it was raining and as a result I was about to give up the idea of exercising. It wasn't a weights day, that was Monday so it was a run or nothing. I don't like extended periods on the treadmill so I decided to brave the weather and go out for a run in the rain. I had to leave my iPhone behind. I've never run…

Bent over barbell row form check
Hi again, Since my form on squats and deadlifts needed some work I've looked into my barbell row technique. I've dropped the weight quite a bit and I've recorded myself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8W9uaZDsA5Y I'm still having issues with being too close to the knees. Also I'm not quite sure where to bring the bar up…

What should I choose from this menu ...
I'm going to a work lunch today at a bistro. I'm planning on going over today because my partner and I are putting on a dinner party tonight. I'd prefer to keep lunch sensible since I'll be going over tonight. I LOVE chips (fries) and almost every meal on this menu has chips with it! I like nachos too. What would you get…

"WTGs" when someone completes their diary
I'm not posting this out of spite, hate or a feeling of righteousness. I've noticed that when someone completes their food diary with a calorie deficit people will often post "WTG" or "Well done!" as encouragement. That's great and I think that helps people a lot. It's also an indication that people are good and are…

Learning from cheat meals
After a good week of dieting, exercise and weight loss I decided to treat myself with popcorn and frozen coke at the movies. I did the calorie math before hand therefore I knew it would put me over my MFP calorie target but not over my maintenance target. None the less I knew it would slow my weight loss down but I felt…

Brisbanite saying hey
Hey guys my name is Eric and I've just signed up here after installing the iPhone app. I used to use Calorie King and before that FitDay but I think that myfitnesspal motivates me much much more. I've only been on this site for 3 days and already I feel the runaway-train feeling that I did when I've lost weight in the…
