Why am I showing a negative
So I just noticed that for today and yesterday my daily food log shows: You have earned -104 calories from exercise today. And it has added to my caloric intake like it's food. I've never seen this. Any idea?

Mini Elliptical?
So, I'm wanting to get this: The Stamina In Motion Elliptical Trainer. Two reasons, I currently don't have the cash to get a full size elliptical, nor the room. Both of these should not be a problem in a couple months but I want to get something while I'm really in the mood to do more than just walking. Has anyone ever had…

Am I the only one.....
that can't tolerate the taste of reheated chicken or any poultry really? I love baked chicken. I used to make an extra serving so I could take it for lunch but I have found that I no longer can stand the taste once it's been reheated. Does anyone else taste a major difference when reheating poultry?

Beginner Fitbit-er
I received a Fitbit for Xmas. I knew I was VERY inactive, but I was barely getting in 3K steps a day. I still haven't hit the 10K goal but I'm trying. I only have a couple of friends that have one but I found that I get up more and walk when my device notifies me they are kicking my butt in steps...lol. I'd like to add…

Meatless main dishes?
Hello all! I'm looking for some meatless main meals. I honestly get tired of eating meat and am getting ready to start my meal planning for the week. I'd like to have 3 or 4 days with meatless dinners. If you could share your favorite meatless dishes that would be awesome. TIA!

Any Kentuckians?
Who's from/in Kentucky? I work midnights at a police department and down time gets old fast. Not many of my "real" friends are up at 0200 to keep me entertained. lol

Birthday weekend....EEEKKK!!! :-/
So my youngest son's birthday is this coming weekend. He'll be 16, didn't want a party, just wants to have dinner with the family at the local Chinese place and then spend the day at the movies, laser tag, gaming store. I am able to look at the menu at the Movie Tavern before we go so that I can make the best choice and…

I finally made a goal I'm happy with
So, I started logging, eating better about a month or so ago. I've lost 8 pounds that I'm sure of. I became a daily weigher and it just got me down so I'm not stepping on a scale for a long time. Anyway, I started, without any real "end game" in sight. I just wanted to lose weight and feel better. Here's my stats: Age 39…

New food, nutritional information MIA.
Hubster and I had a last minute date night and went to eat at Buffalo Wild Wings. I wanted to try something different from my usual Buffalo Ranch Wrap so I got the new Mediterranean Turkey Burger. I cannot find nutritional information on it anywhere in order to log it. Anyone have a secret website I can use to find it? :D…

Hi, my name is Melissa and it's been 1 hour since my last DQ biscuit and gravy.
And I will NOT beat myself up over it! :) I got off work at 7 am and my day shift officers asked me to go have breakfast with them. This isn't something I get to do often but enjoy it when I do. I was chatting it up with them in line and aimlessly ordered my normal DQ breakfast. Half order of biscuit and gravy. YUM! It…

My body just isn't used to this and it's making me slightly miserable
I'm just wondering if anyone else is having the same problem I am or if I am simply a freak of nature. Here's my problem; I work midnights so my day usually starts between 3 and 4 pm. Today, 3. Had a cup of coffee. At 5 I had a hard boiled egg. I just finished dinner which consisted of salmon, couscous and veggies. (I keep…

What fuels your bad choices?
I typically only ate one meal a day. On my work days it was either a Jr bacon cheeseburger, large fry and large sweet tea or Jimmy Johns. I have eaten one meal a day for at least 20 years. Not because I was trying cut calories but in the beginning, at 19, I was just so damn busy all the time w/ a new born that I didn't…

Started without a plan
So, a couple days ago, midday, I realized I was MUCH fatter than originally thought...lol. Immediately logged into MFP after a 7 or 8 month hiatus. I need to shed this poundage. Unfortunately, I did not "plan" to get back on track which means, there are NO fresh veggies, lean meats or fruits in my house. I'm typically a…

I'm addicted and I need help...
To coffee. With cream and sugar. :) I honestly can give up/cut back on anything but my coffee with cream and sugar. I can use Truvia, if need be but I have yet to find an alternative to my coffee creamer. I typically just use the powder stuff. Any suggestions? TIA! =)

Post heart attack diets
Okay, my husband, 41, 5'10", 181 lbs., had a heart attack on 02/03/14. He had 2 pretty bad blockages and had 2 stents put in. He has been to his 1 week follow up appointment, where he wasn't really told anything except to see his heart doctor this coming Tuesday. He really hasn't been given too much info into what he needs…

Who do you tell?
So, I've been back to MFP, for what seems the thousandth time, for a little over 2 weeks. I have found that I'm crazy motivated to eating better this time and I think it's because I haven't told a lot of people about it this go around. I'm a card carrying Facebook addict. I attend weekly meetings...via facebook :wink: I…

Huge NSV.....
for me anyway! I visited my husband at work this afternoon, we own a tattoo shop so it's hard for him to get away even to eat. He was starving and didn't have time to run out himself to get something to eat. He asked me to go to McDonald's for him. Oh God! Not McDonald's!!! Where french fries will out live the apocalypse,…

Any Kentuckians??
I would like to have some fellow Kentuckians as friends and supporters.

Oh. Dear. God! What have I done???
I just committed to a 5k color run!! I haven't ran since my senior year of high school, about 20 year ago. 1. I don't know what got into me and made me say yes and 2. I have no idea where to even start to prepare myself. :noway:
-
Can I get some constructive criticism please?
Also, note the word CONSTRUCTIVE. Okay, been here a month, give or take a day. MFP originally had me set at 1400 cals per day then dropped to 1380 on day 15. I lost 5 pounds that first week. Yay! But since then, I have yet to lose an ounce. I'm not too stressed about it, simply because I didn't get fat overnight so I don't…

Day 21 and I'm FINALLY hungry!
I've been on this new lifestyle for 21 days now. I am allotted 1380 calories a day. Most days, I feel like I have to force feed myself just to get close to that number. I used to eat one meal a day, typically when I got to work. It usually consisted of a Wendy's combo meal with a large sweet tea. I'm not even sure how many…

Mexican food crisis. Please help. =)
I have to go have dinner with my family at a Mexican restaurant in about an hour and a half. I have no idea what to order. Thankfully, I just woke up so I'm not very hungry but I just don't know what the healthiest choices are. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Having a horrible time getting my calories in
Hello all! I have been eating healthier and randomly exercising for 2 weeks now and the biggest problem I have found is that I have a really hard time getting my minimum calories in. Here's the short background: Until 2 weeks ago, I only ate once a day which was typically the drive thru on my way to my mid night shift job.…

Well this is odd....
I'm working midnight shift and logged in to log my food. My lunch here at work goes on my dinner the day prior. Anyway, my allotted daily caloric intake randomly dropped 20 calories. Is that normal for MFP? It never did that before when I used this site. Thanks in advance for any info.

Crazy small NSV, but I'll take it!!
So today makes 14 days I have been on MFP. I know many of you are thinking, "really? 14 days? She's proud of 14 days?" but 2 weeks is HUGE for me. I have always had weight issues. I have always "dieted" but I have never said to myself, "Alright fatty, time to get healthy instead of skinny." Until 2 weeks ago. I have always…

Any midnighters on board?
Hello all! I have been having a horrible time trying to eat right and exercise due to my job as a midnight shift dispatcher. Sitting for 10 hours a day, 4 days a week really messes with your system. Are there any other midnight shift first repsonders out there that would like to encourage each other? I find having friends…
-
Repeat Newbie!! =)
I have started MFP, yet again but am determined to stick with it this time. My 13 year old son is quite over weight and wanted to get healthy so I couldn't let him do it alone. Here's to hoping I can get it done this time.

Need MFP buddies in KY.
Just wanted to see if there were any guys or gals in Kentucky trying to lose 50 or so pounds? It would be great to have friends to take this journey with! =)
