need some support...
HI all. I'm down from 195 to my goal 155. Now I want to keep going and want to get to 145. I adjusted my weight loss goal to 1lb a week and as a resulted my daily calorie intake has gone up plus I eat at least half my exercise calories. I am recommitting myself and I really want to focus on cleaner eating and less…

How much do I help?
My future sis in law needs to lose 150 lbs (as per her doctor). She has started WW but has yet to sign up for MFP. I got her a one month membership to my gym (not sure how many times she has used it). Part of me wants to sit her down and be real with her. Tell her she really has to want this and needs to figure out how she…

Headbands
I sweat like crazy when I workout. I have yet to find any good headbands that really absorb the sweat. Any suggestions?

what do you do....
I hurt my back last Wed and have not worked out since then. I've been on some heavy meds to help with the pain. The scale is starting to creep up and I'm freaking out. What do you do when you start to see a gain??

HOW DO I POST PICTURES IN A THREAD???

Need to vent...
I think its important to preface any advice we give with "what works for me is..." Too many people on this site become experts too fast. I love getting tips and helpful info but we should remember that unless our info comes from a professional (trainer, dr, nutritionist, etc) its just our opinion and it's not set in stone…

TAEBO
I can not rave enough about taebo. I am only able to do the class one night a week but it is by far the best workout I get! It's not easy and I feel like I am going to die but it so worth it! I am not disciplined enough to do it on my own but I highly recommend you give it a try!

Can I get a high five???
I started my journey in September and I've taken it real slow this time so that I know it will last. As of today I am down from 195 to 154....that's 41lbs! 9 more to go!! YAY!!!!!!

PF Changs
Having lunch at Pf Changs today for my sis in laws bday. Not my choice. Looking at their menu is scary! I am guessing I will have a cup of Hot and Sour Soup and the steamed Buddhas Feast with brown rice. Any other suggestions? I like to keep my meals below 300 but will go as far as 400 since I just woke up and will not be…

Bag of angel hair slaw julienne carrots thin sliced red onion or scallions if you prefer lots of chopped cilantro lime juice ground black pepper rice wine vinegar ( i used 3 tbls.) low fat mayo (i used 3 tbls) garlic powder. I put it in a…

Taking a compliment....
I have the hardest time with what to say when people see me and start freaking out about my weight loss and how good I look. I get shy and embarrassed.. How do I learn to accept what they say is true??? Saying thank is is of course the obvious thing but I struggle with it.

Phantom fat
I am down from 195 to 156.6 and I swear at times I still don't see it. People think I am nuts but I swear I still feel fat. How has anyone else dealt with the phantom fat syndrome??

Giving myself permission...
I don't believe in food rewards or cheat days where you just pigout BUT I have decided today to just enjoy the day with my son and to try not to obsess about food. I may have some ice cream, I may not. I may go over my 1300 calories, I may not. EITHER WAY ITS OK.

New Item
I just tried the ElPaso tortilla stuffers. They come in a pouch and microwave in 60 seconds. I had the garlic chicken and it was good; the chicken is mixed with rice an beans. 1/3 cup has 80 calories. I made a burrito using 100 calorie flat bread. Added some guac and salsa and it was under 220 calories.

Chinesse Takeout
OK, we are having take out tonight. I know for sure I will have Hot and Soup (with tofu no pork) but not sure what else to have. I usually have szechuan or garlic shrimp. I can live with out the rice and will get the sauce on the side. What do you order and how do you calculate? ANy other ideas on what to have?

sweet treat
I love to mix cottage cheese with fresh berries, sliced roasted almonds, and a drizzle of chocolate syrup. Yum!

my body says no thank you
I had a crazy rough, very emotional day yesterday. By 10pm I had been so busy at work I had barely eaten 200 calories. I quickly chowed on three chicken wings and a left over salad that way too much cheese and bacon. I splurged and had 1oz of blue cheese dressing with my basalmic vinegar. Well..... Within an hour I felt…

Why don't I see it??
I just watched last night's Biggest Loser episode. As I sit and watch all I can think is how most of the girls look smaller at me. I started at 195 and now weigh in at 165. Still the girls in the 170's and 180's look smaller to me. I just can't wrap my head around my true body image!

obsessive...
I am getting alot of grief from people around me that I have become obsessive about wieght loss and getting healthy. Just becuase I keep a food diary and I am aware of what I have had to eat and how much more I can have does not mean I am obsessive! Would they rather I continued to not be aware and gain weight?? Or maybe…
-
If everyday....
After completing my diary I notice that MFP tells me "If you ate like this everyday you would weigh X in 5 weeks". For me this number flucuates +/_ 3lbs. How do they calculate this number and is excercise a factor?
-
Its all mental
I weighed in today and I'm still at 165. I'm guessing I am just not eating enough. I can't make myself eat more than 1300 even when I should be adding 2-3 hundred more calories in for excercising. I know its in my head, but I am terrified if I eat say 1500 I will gain. I just don't know what to do. I'm down 30lbs and I…

Frustrated with Healthy choice
I just ate the HC Golden Roasted turkey dinner. Im trying to keep my sugar down so I skipped the dessert that came with it. Problem is now my numbers are off becuase I don't know what to subtract from my diary entry. I even called HC and sat on hold for ten minutes only to be told they did not have an answer. I know,…
