Cutting Calories & Still Feeling Satisfied?
OK, so I have been doing this for almost 3 weeks and the scale is barely moving. If you check my diary, you will see I am set at 2000 calories, but find myself going over more than not. Even though not every day in my diary is filled in, I have stuck to less than 30g carbs, except for 1 day, which was logged. I actually…

Quest Bars, Yay or Nay?
They have 20ish grams of carbs and 15ish grams of fiber, so the net carbs are low. Soooooooo do you eat them?

When should the scale move?
Hey all. I just started on Monday... I am curious as to when I should start seeing the number move on the scale? I have actually gone up a little since Sunday. My diary is open. I have kept my carbs at 5% or less I believe. I am severely lacking in fiber/veggies this week. I will add more next week for sure. And yes, I…

Calories - Any concern?
Seriously... I am kind of nervous about the number of calories I consumed today. Fat was the bulk of it. I read the calorie counting post, but it's a mental block. I am sure many can relate. My diary is open if anyone wants to reassure me / give me better advice on what to eat. I was kind of hungry today, but I only ate…

Must Lose Weight
Good morning. I just joined this group because I have had friends who've had great success with a low-carb/keto lifestyle, and you guys seem to know what you're doing. I have spent my entire adulthood battling my weight. I've done WW (had success like 9 years ago, but was very calorie restricted I believe), clean eating,…

Add a Word, Ruin a Movie
Searched the forums and didn't see this game. It's pretty self-explanatory. Take a movie title and add a word somewhere in the title. It's kind of trending on Twitter right now and I keep tweeting new ones. Here we go! You can only add ONE word. Rosemary's Baby Shower Edited to clarify rules

Nutrition Degree
I am very interested in nutrition and have been thinking about/researching schools and options... Does anyone here have a degree in this field (Dietetics or Nutrition)? If so where did you attend? And does anyone know about any online accredited programs? I live in FL and there are no schools/programs near me. What are you…

New, Confused, Looking for help
I started getting serious about this 2 weeks ago from this upcoming Sunday (so... June 2). I have NOT lost anything. I keep losing fractions and gaining fractions. I am not tracking though. I will list the foods I am eating. I do know that I am not really that hungry, but I am certain I am getting enough calories and fat…

5-HTP (didn't know where to place this topic)
Has anyone here taken it (5 HTP) for anything that it's supposed to help with, not just weight loss, such as insomnia, depression, or for girls, PMDD? Or even anxiety. I am not looking into it for weight, just the other things it supposedly helps with. Feedback is greatly appreciated.

Legitimate Cleanse??
Is there truly a legitimate cleanse out there? I have been bingeing a lot lately and I really want to try to remove all of the crap from my system (no pun intended) if this is truly possible. I don't know that I actually buy into commercial products? I've done a lot of damage to my body, and I really need to jump start the…

Afraid to actually eat??
Why are some people so afraid to actually consume calories??? They'd rather be hungry often... I don't get it.

Shin Splints
I play softball, and even running the bases hurts like a mother! Walking the treadmill does, too! My shins feel like their bruised to the touch at times. I'd love to try running but the pain sucks. Any suggestions on stretches and/or better running shoes (kinda stuck with my cleats for softball).

Regarding Protein Smoothies
This is probably a stupid question, but is it a bad thing to replace meals with protein shakes if they have protein, fiber, fruit, and even a green veggie mixed in? Sometimes I just really don't feel like cooking (ok, most of the time). But I think I get as much protein out of my protein powder as I do in 4oz of chicken...

A little afraid...
I tried to think of a better subject heading, but that pretty much sums it up. I have had this fear for years that I will lose the weight, but my body shape won't change. And that I will look just as bad with the stretch marks and other issues caused by weight gain. And I think that fear kind of hinders motivation, if that…

Needing more "expert" friends (please read)
I am looking for more weight-loss experienced friends for MFP that can look at my diary and make suggestions if any are needed. I've been on track since last Monday, and the scale was slowly going down, but is now going up, and I honestly do not know why. Maybe I am just being impatient...

BMR (RMR) Question
OK, let's say my BMR is 1560. Should I be aiming to consume 1560 calories a day? I burn 800-900 according to my cardio equipment (I know that's not necessarily what my body is burning during those exercises). I don't want to be under-eating. I want to be getting that healthy balance and doing it the RIGHT way.
