Ok to eat less once in a while?
So MFP tells me to eat 1900 calories a day before exercise because I am pretty hefty, and some days I want that. Other days I really only want 1600 and I have all my percentages about right, so is it ok to eat less or is itgoing to mess me up? I don't really eat back my exercise calories....ever, and often do about 1.5…

Magic Switch Flipped
I know I'm not very far into my weight loss yet (7 lbs), but I have tried to lose weight before and it was like beating my head into a brick wall. I rarely lasted more than a day. This time I had about four days of crushing hunger in the beginning and now it is like a switch has flipped. I don't crave bread or butter or…

Vegetable swaps
I'm looking for recipes where you can swap wheat/carbs or a less nutrient dense ingredient for vegetables. Eg-spaghetti squash or bean sprouts for pasta and mushrooms for hamburger buns. Any ideas/recipes? Having cut out many of my wheat related carbs, I find that I don't really want them as much, but I'm not sure what…

More water combat sodium?
So I really like pickles, and they are a low calorie choice for a snack, but the sodium. Oh the sodium. So here is my question, If I eat 2 pickle spears can I even the sodium content out by drinking more water?

Is this really possible?
My diary is open, could someone tell me if it is seriously possible for me to have lost nearly 8 lbs in just over a week? I'm very suspicious, thinking maybe my scale is inaccurate. I'm eating like 1900 calories a day, and even at 260 (now 252.8) lbs, I find it hard to believe my level of exercise is taking the weight off…

Is this enough exercise?
I'm going on day 7 of weight loss and I just want to get some opinions about my exercise level. I've been doing 30 minutes on the elliptical at high intensity and 30 minutes in the pool doing about 1000 yards. I throw in about 15 squats a day or 15 minutes of curls and lat pulldowns about every other day and I walk my dog…

What you ate then and what you eat now....
So I'm working on changing my entire way of eating from mostly carbs and dairy to mostly plant based with very limited grain and only lean meats. Honestly, I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm on day 6 and it is WORKING, which is so exciting. I'm just curious, what does a day of eating look like for you now and what did…

Ravenous Hunger
So I'm on day 5 of trying to eat healthy and I am just getting SO hungry between meals. I'm eating wholesome foods like fresh vegetables, fruit, chicken, fish, quinoa, black beans etc, AND I'm eating up to 2,000 calories with 100 oz of water a day so I'm clearly getting enough to eat and drink. I've tried spreading my…
