Weekly calories?
Has anyone here ever tried to stay within their weekly calories instead of doing daily? I have no issue eating all of my daily calories, but my exercising calories are a pain. I swim 4 times a week and rarely feel like eating the calories on those days. However, on Thursdays and Saturdays (two of the days I don't swim) I…

My first progress photos!
Tonight I tool my first picture where I could see a difference in myself. I am actually surprised I didn't see it a little sooner as I feel like there is a pretty big difference. It has only been 3 months on this website, but I feel so good about it. One photo is from all the way back in September, and the other is from…

22 weeks and a hard goal!
I am going back to university in 22 weeks and in my mind I need to lose 40 lbs before I get there. I want to be healthy, happy, and stylish. I have been here 3 months and have lost weight, but have not been weighing myself. I have lost about 2 sizes, so I bet its been about 20-25 lbs. It is REALLY important for me to get…

Why are the numbers so different?
Here on MFP it says if I want to lose 2 lbs a week I need to eat 1590 calories, and then any exercise I do. However, on a TDEE calculator it says I need 2391 to maintain my weight, which means that I would only be allowed 1391 a day. This is a difference of 199 calories a day! In a month this would be the difference of…

Finally March!
Ok, so we haven't been doing really well on this eh guys? Anyone care to share how life has been? I feel like we all fell off the wagon since Valentines day! I have been pretty good, although I did do some Macdonalds this week and last week. My brother moved to Korea and while getting him ready we did a lot of running,…

I'm not new
Hey, I have been on here for almost two months, and when I first started I made friends to chat with, support, and get support. However, at this point there is no longer messages in my in box and most I have talked to aren't around anymore. Is there anyone would would like to email back and forth to tell how its going? I…

Bloated or something!
I am feeling so discouraged! I have been here 55 days as of today, and was doing fantastic. I was down two sizes and was giving my old clothing away. There was one pair or stretchy jeans that were almost ready t fall off of me. In a hurry yesterday I pulled them on to head to the pool and they made a muffin top. It was…

What will it be like?
After a month of trying to change my life and being on this site one question plagues my mind. What am I going to be like next year? I try to find someone with my exact situation from a year ago and try to see myself in them. What will I look like? What will the scale say? Will I hate the loose skin? WILL I FIT INTO…

Getting Sick
Hi there, I have a hypothetical question for everyone who knows. I am curious if eating too little for s short period of time could lead to something simple like a head cold. I know it might not make sense, but when I thought about it I realized that maybe it is possible that as a result of not having enough food energy…

Tell me About your Day
I have created a new group on here for people to have happy upbeat conversations about how their days are going. My family is getting a little tired about hearing how much I have exercised, or how I was under my calories all week. I figured others on this website would understand, and want to share their own! Please join…

Holy Crap! Hard weekend, eh?
Hey, did anyone else have a hard time keeping on track this weekend? I stayed in my calories, but I ate bad stuff! I think it was ok for the one time, but I bed I would get sick if I did it all the time. I feel like I ONLY want to eat that way though. Anyone else struggling like this? Trying to eat the same way they did…

How many net calories?
Can anyone give some educated advice? I don't want opinions, rather I would like to hear what you have experienced/learned from professionals (the last post I read one woman suggested that all women need to eat 1200 calories a day to lose weight). My big question is what should my net calorie intake be? I have only been…

Oh No! My boobs are gone!
I know it is only three weeks in but I am getting frustrated! My tummy stays while my chest is melting away! That just seems unfair if you ask me. Anyone else have this issue? There isn't a way to stop it besides doing tummy specific exercises is there?

Too Much Sugar?
My fitness pal is telling me that I am already over my sugar for the day and I haven't even had lunch yet! I ate a small apple before my walk this morning, and when I got home I had yogurt and granola for breakfast. I am at a minus for my net calories for the day, but at -3 for my sugar. Is this bad? I am not diabetic, but…

Keeping it going!
I want this to be a place where everyone can talk openly about their day and how they feel they are doing. My family is sick of hearing about my little successes (like being under on calories) and I feel like I want to tell the whole world! Please tell me your little victories daily, and add me as a friend.

More than I thought - womp womp
Today I am feeling awful after I weighed myself! I haven't done so in 2 years, and it appears as if those two years were not so kind. Anyone else have this happen to them? Any suggestions to get over it? I know it is just a number, but we gather so much from that number!

New, dedicated, but discouraged!
I am dedicated to changing my life, but an awfully discouraged after weighing myself. I am at an all time high and my body does not want to work out the way I want it to. I have read so many success stories, but I am more interested today in failures. I lost weight 2 years ago but since then have gained it all back plus…
