Eating while on vacation, would this option be rude?
My husband and I are going on vacation on Friday, we are going to see his dad where the rest of his family will join us.

How can I balance it out?
So I did an estimate of what I plan on eating tomorrow and I'm within my calorie range, but I am over on my FAT and that concerns me.

So I…

I think I might need to eat more?
Okay MFP has me eating around 1500 cals, but I just don't feel like it is enough. Pretty much every other site I have known about I should be eating around 1700-1800 cals/day. But part of me is afraid to eat more, for fear of not losing weight, but rather gaining weight. Last year around this time I had a test done at the…

Egg Salad Sandwhich...But in a healthy way!
So I made egg salad earlier but without the globs and globs of Mayo, and it was delicious!!! I did 3 whole eggs, 1 w/o the yolk with 1tbsp miracle whip, 2-3tbsp vanilla yogurt, some mustard, pepper, and cajun seasoning and it was delicious! It tasted just like regular egg salad. I think I'm going to start making this for…

Body media fit(body bugg)
If you use either one do you pay the monthly subscription or how do you use it exactly? Do you feel it is really accurate? I'm leaning towards this because of how accurate it does seem to be...the only thing stopping me is the monthly subscription.

Lose 40lbs now by middle of July
Would it be unhealthy to aim for a goal loss of 40lbs lost by middle of July? Yes I know that is more than an average weight loss should be, but I am thinking that since I am larger that the first 20 or so will come off quicker than the rest. We are going to see my husbands family, and if I could be at 250 then I would be…

Who Wants my scale?
I really think I need to get rid of my scale, and I think I should only weigh in once a month. That is a big reason I have failed so often at losing weight because I have one bad day and I go back to all old habits. So who wants my scale?lol
