Funerals
So I lost a dear friend this week. He was my cousin. And let me put this into perspective. For25 years he's been at all my major life events. He has spent the last seven Christmases at my house with his children. I know his children. They also stay at my house. He has come for a visit and stayed a month. I've treated him…

There are women in my company that stand on the toilet seat, leaving shoe prints. I'm not sure why they would do his but it is irritating to me! What are the things your coworkers do that are weird?

New Rules of Lifting (not for women)
I'm thinking of getting this book for my husband for Christmas. He is trying to get back into a workout routine. I hear a lot of women talk about this book for women. What about you men? Did you find it helpful?

How often do you say no?
I find myself thinking often of food and telling myself 'no'. I'm talking several times an hour. I know I'm not the only one. How often do you have to say 'no' to those cravings, food urges and wants? Does it get easier with practice? Do the thoughts become less frequent?

What book(s) are you reading now
I need a new book. One that is so great that it takes my mind off dieting. Or one that is so great, it motivates me to reach my goals. Calling on all readers to tell what great book they are reading or have read that they would recommend. Why did you like it?

Need help setting my macros!
I am struggling a bit with my macros. I thought that the recommended MFP macros seemed way too high in carbohydrates and not enough protein. I want to maximize my weight loss and I'm struggling with the idea of a low carbohydrate diet. My SIL has been on one for decades and it worked and she looks great, but I'm not sure…

Net Calories and BMR
So a quick question. I know that you are not supposed to eat below your BMR, but is it the Net Calories that should be at least your BMR? So if my BMR is 1500, I should set my Net Calories to 1500 and eat back any exercise calories (or at least half of them)? Is this correct? Thanks in advance!

PACT app
Has anyone used the PACT app, recently mentioned in the MFP blog? I log daily so I'm considering it. Just wondering if anyone has used it and has earned money. If so, how much typically? Thanks in advance!:smile:

Menopause and Alcohol
Today, the scale blipped at 199 just before it went to 200.4. I'm almost there! Onederland! I can't believe the success I've experienced with MFP. I didn't think I could lose weight anymore. I honestly thought that I was just too old and too fat and couldn't do anything about it. I searched for stories of post menopausal…

Plateaus
I'm going through a plateau right now. I know it is normal and I wake up everyday thinking I will see a two pound loss to make up for it, but I don't. I weigh a pound more than I did two weeks ago. I'm looking to hear from people who have lost a significant amount of weight. What was your longest plateau? What kind of…

My NSV
For the first time in 2 years I was able to remove my wedding ring! At one point , I thought I was going to have to have it cut off. I am so relieved to start seeing these changes. I have found success with MFP that I couldn't find with Weight Watchers. Something has just clicked for me.

How do you use friends on MFP?
It seems important to so many, some saying that it is essential to their weight loss. How do you use friends on the site? Do they hold you accountable? Is it just a "good job" that keeps you going? Is that an important aspect of MFP to you?

What are you eating for Thanksgiving?
I have already started filling out my food diary. I'm going to have a houseful of relatives and I love gravy! I'm going to allow myself 2000 calories that day only and go for a long walk. What are you planning to do to get through the holiday?

Alcohol is the downfall
I'm fairly new on MFP, but already find it much better than Weight Watchers which I used previously because I can see the gaps in my nutrition. I've even started drinking milk and taking a multi-vitamin since tracking on MFP. My problem is that I like to drink alcohol. Over the years, the drinks have gotten bigger (I swear…
