Seriously how much should I weigh?
Ok I am slightly over 6' and currently weight 243 lbs (down from 265). I am 33 years old, and from every calculator out there it tells me my ideal weight is 170 lbs. I honestly believe that is way low. I am all for being healthy, and I happy that I am still losing weight. But for me to get down to 170 would require me to…

Thank you MFP
I have been using MFP for just under 2 months so far. In that time I have lost over 25 lbs and changed my eating habits so much that my blood pressure has also come back down to a normal level. It is amazing the impact that making simple changes in how much I eat and what types of food I eat has made so far. MFP may not be…

Have a cold what to do
I have had a bad head cold for the past 4 days, and am probably a day or two from having it behind me. During this time my food intake has gone down slightly (not much) but my exercise has had to take a back seat. What should I expect in regards to what my weight will be once this cold is over? Will I still have lost some…

20 lbs in a month
I know that we all tend to lose a lot of weight quickly at first, and then it slows down a bit. That being said I have dropped 20lbs in a month, and I am wondering what to expect from month 2 if I continue the same diet and exercise routine. Anyone with experience on this your input is very welcome. Thanks again in advance…

1st week weight loss
So after today I will have been dieting for 1 week. To this point I have lost 10lbs, and I am suprised that much has come off in a week. Is it common to have a big weight drop right off the bat, and does the weight loss tend to slow down after that?

Hates veggies loves fruit
I honestly hate most veggies. The only veg I like is corn (which is not the best veggie for ya). I do love fruit, but don't know what fruits are the best for you from a weight loss standpoint. I tend to eat grapes, peeled apples, and cantaloupe. Also what is the latest time I should eat food before going to bed? My wife…

Calorie question
I have been told that I should eat as much of my allotted calories everyday in order to keep my metabolism burning at the same rate. I was told that large fluctuations in my calorie intake may cause my metabolism to get a bit out of whack. Can anyone confirm or deny this? I just want to make sure the progress I have made…

Surprising Soup Option
I was surprised to see that Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana is a really good option for a low calorie and fairly low fat lunch option. So if you are in need of a good soup that won't break your (calorie) bank then check it out. 170 calories, 4 grams of fat, 2 grams of Sat fat, 960 mg of sodium, and 24 grams of carbs. Created…

Need fast food suggestions
I spend a few days a week on the road for my job, and fast food is my lunch on these days. Can anyone suggest which places have a better menu to work with, and if anyone has suggestions on specific items from those menus I would appreciate it.
