Encourage me not to eat everything in sight right now!
Argh! I'm stuck at work and I'm starving! I work in a hotel, so we have a vending machine and breakfast items, but I'm struggling to find a good snack. I already had a yogurt and a banana and it just isn't cutting it. I know I'm going to have a high calorie day tomorrow so I don't want to eat too much today. I'm really…

How to Handle Discouragement
Two years ago, I lost 70+ pounds. And I have managed to gain it all back. Twice I have attempted to re-start, lost 20-25, then lost motivation and gained it back again. As of this week I am trying again, but I already feel hopeless, like I know I am going to fail, that it is going to take too long, and I'm getting in a…

Biggest increase you've seen after a binge?
I know it's common than see the scale go up after an evening of going over your calories, and that it will go away, but I was just curious what the biggest "gain" people have had and how long it went to go away? I'm feeling a little guilty after overindulging at a baseball game last night.

Protein Powder Problem
I'm looking for a protein powder to add to my occasional smoothies and such. But the problem is, I've tried several and they make me violently sick to my stomach. A friend told me some people don't digest the protein well, or have a sensitivity to it when in concentrated form. Is there any truth in that? Does anyone know…

I have been working out before work in the morning, and then barely feeling hungry by noon. Today I've had a couple hard boiled eggs and coffee. It is nearly 1 pm and…

I don't have many before pictures, but I wanted to share my success so far. I began on August 1 2013 at 249 pounds, joined MFP a few weeks later. As of today, I am at 189 pounds! I still have a long way to go, but I'm encouraged with my loss so far.

Eating back exercise calories?
I'm usually well under my calorie goal, but I've noticed that with the calories I "earn" from exercise, I am only netting about 100 calories a day. I eat a total of 1300-1500. I'm not hungry, I have great energy. Should I be forcing myself to eat back my exercise calories? I would really be having to force it down...

I'm brand new and clueless :)
So I started my weight loss journey 2 weeks ago at 249 lbs. Today I am at 236. I haven't been counting calories, just cut out soda and making healthier food choices. Walking 3-5 miles a day, plus 3 days of Zumba a week and 4 days of strength training. I keep hearing a lot of conflicting information about whether or not I…
