Boy do I need to move out.
My mom knows i'm counting my calories and going to the gym (since we go together, lol) and i've told her numerous times not to buy certain food items. Yesterday she walks in the door with one of the items i didn't want. Today? Did it again with another one i mentioned. I scold her for it and she just laughs and says "don't…

I'll do great for a few days, then binge. Help.
A few years ago I was not in a good place, mentally, and i'd find myself eating crap loads of food and then making myself sick because I ate until I felt ill. It only stopped once I was medicated/cured for depression. But that was years ago. This all happened while I was at a perfectly healthy weight, too. Today I'm…

Please give me hope!
I'm 5'5.5" and I am having a hard time losing the 10-15 lbs I want to lose. I want to get down to 120-115. I'm what some would call "skinny-fat" and i think that seeing some success from people with similar stats would give me more hope!

Willpower.
I can't seem to find mine. Yesterday was my mom's birthday so there was cake and ice cream. I didn't even think twice about MFP while shoveling the crap on my plate. I'm sick of saying "Okay, tomorrow I'm going to stop eating crap" ....... it never happens. I've had the willpower to not eat meat for 6 years, but then again…

Giving up processed foods for lent.......
Decided (a little late) that i'm going to give up processed food for lent. Not exactly for religious purposes, but for myself and to try and get myself away from those things for more than one reason. Now question is......... what the heck do i eat????? I've relied so heavily on processed crap that I don't even know how to…

Women with not much to lose...
I'm 5'5.5", 131 lbs, and 21 years old. I want to get down to 120 or so. Was wondering if anyone has similar goals, and any before/after pics? I'm what some people would call "skinny fat" .. i do not have a lot of muscle mass, yet quite a bit of fat to lose. I would appreciate the success stories since I feel like these 10…

Sorry if this is stupid......
So, i'm on day 8 of Jillian Michael's 30 day Shred. I also go to the gym a fair amount of days per week. My question is this: Do I have to do the cardio in the video if i'm already getting cardio in at the gym? Reason being, the only place for me to do this workout is upstairs in my teeny tiny room, and i hate having to…

Starvation mode and net calories......
Don't really know how to start this so i'll just get right to the point........ I don't eat back my exercise calories. Today I ate my goal of 1300 calories but burned 450 of them, leaving me with a net intake of 850 calories. Is that setting my body up for starvation mode? i really don't like to eat back calories.... will…

Something my boyfriend does that bothers me. Mini rant.
He knows i count every single one of my calories, and that i'm on this website trying to lose weight. What bothers me is that we'll be out at the mall or something and he'll see the food court and go "Ooo i think i'm going to get some pizza" and i'll be like "well aren't you lucky" in a joking way of course and he'll joke…

I really want to.......
Start eating clean. I'll be honest. I eat so much processed crap it's ridiculous. Thing is, I don't know how. I don't know any healthy CLEAN low-cal recipes, and simply don't know what to eat! Any help? Maybe an example of a normal day for you of clean eating? Please and thank you.

How many of you...
Are going to not log your food on Christmas or whatever holiday you celebrate? I've been sticking to my 1200 a day and I really just want to have one day where I don't worry about going over, and I'm thinking Christmas will be that day. How do you guys go about your Holidays? Do you still log everything? I'm still not sure…

So, I am constantly seeing posts and success stories from lifting heavy. I would like to try, although I have no idea where to begin. This might sound stupid, but I don't even know how to. Help?

Shirataki noodle recipes please!
I've never had these 'noodles' before, and wanted to try them as soon as I have some good recipes! So if anyone has some low calorie recipes using these, then please share. I do not eat meat, but I DO eat seafood.. just an fyi. But feel free to post meat friendly ones as well for others. :)

Outdoor running...
I used to jog outside almost everyday a couple years ago and I want to get back into it. I am terrified of falling while running on a treadmill, so i want to start running outside. I was wondering if i will look stupid running in 30-40 degree weather?? Up until what month do you run? I don't want to look like a complete…

Afraid to work out.
About 10-30 minutes after I work out sometimes, I get nauseous and then throw up. Sometimes I get shaky and anxious and sweat like crazy. I usually try to burn 500-600 calories when I work out so thinking that I was pushing myself too hard, last night I only burned 300 and didn't go too hard. Welp, that didn't work. About…

Cramping calves?
My boyfriend wanted to see if anyone has any answers as to why his calves always cramp up during exercise. We're both doing Insanity together and he can't even make it through the warm up because his calves get really tight. Should he be stretching before the warm up? Or is there another reason why this is happening? Any…

Cramps to the point of tears -- help
Day 5 of Insanity, and every time i do something like mountain climbers or high kicks (or whatever they're called) I get an extremely painful cramp in only my left side. I try to push through it but it starts to hurt worse and worse and i have to hold back tears. During water breaks i don't chug my water, so i don't see…

Ready Snax!
Went to the store late at night, hungry, and thankfully came across these little pre-packaged snacks. I got one that had baby carrots, grapes, little cheese cubes, and pretzels -- perfect 150 calorie late night snack. They also have pre-packaged low calorie salads, etc. Here's their website:…

I have terrible love handles.
My love handles are the main storage of fat on my body. They are embarrassing and honestly the only thing i 'hate' about my body. If i could slim those down.. well i'd be a very happy person. Can anyone give me some exercise ideas/advice on how to get rid of those? Anyone who's lost them... if you could post before/after…

I have a hard time trusting the number on a battery operated scale/the scales for your home. Anyone know one i could buy that is as accurate as possible?

So confused with everything... help :/
First of all, i don't understand how eating more helps in losing weight. It means you must eat more but exercise more, right? I don't see how just eating more will help you lose weight. So someone please explain that to me!! Also, anyone around 140lbs and losing? I need more tips.. if anyone has any diet and exercise tips…

The healthy 'ice cream' love it.
(I shouldn't be calling it "healthy" exactly, but it's healthIER.) Has anyone tried the ice cream brand "Arctic Zero"? They are pint sized tubs of ice cream or what they like to call "Ice cream replacement" ... they're a little more on the italian ice side, yet a little more creamy, and they are only 150 PER PINT. Compare…

Not sure how to go about it :/
Hi everyone :) I've been eating extremely healthy the past week and a half... lots of fruits and veggies, whole wheat bread, eggs, etc and all no calorie beverages, & haven't noticed any change in weight.. I have had 2 cheat days where i've eaten dessert, and i'm worried that's affecting my weight loss a lot? I've heard…
