Handling New Years Eve
Hi all, This is more of a rant than a question. We're going out for NYE and tomorrow for New Year's day. Tonight is a super swank fixed menu place with drink pairings and a top-notch menu. Well I looked at the menu today and tried to calculate it, rounded about 600 calories for booze (yes there will be heavy drinking…

MFP Calorie Burns vs. Nike+ Calorie Burns
Hello! I've recently started using a pedometer to track my walking. I'm trying to avoid tying my 'diet' to going to the gym a lot because I hate the gym. My goal is to maintain healthy deficits and do the things I like doing to stay busy, like walking or yoga. I also have made a rule that there's no sitting still to watch…

Not Losing Around The Hips
Hello! So I've lost 25lbs since April 2014. I have about 45 more pounds to go before I can try on wedding dresses (aiming for January for that) and then I want to lose another 30lbs before the wedding (in October 2015). So far I feel good about my goals. My clothes are starting to fit a looser. Which is great! Except they…

When Will I Start Losing Clothing Sizes?
Hello! June 30 marked three months for me on this weight loss journey. I was down about 21lbs.

While my clothes feel a bit…

Cheat Day Left Me Under My Calorie Goal
Not a big success, but I wanted to share because I'm very excited. For the last month I've been making sure to eat around 1500 calories, which leaves me in the black at the end of the day (with a bit of exercise) between 400-600 calories. I want to try and keep this trend up - staying about 500 calories below my…

Patience - How Do You Keep It?
Hello! I've been struggling with my weight since I can remember, but I started my 'wedding lifestyle change' about a month ago. So far it's going pretty well - I've lost about 14 pounds since April 21. But I find that I'm really impatient, and at least once I've fallen off the wagon for a few days because I was so…

Healthy and Affordable Meals?
So here's my difficulty: I'm a young professional just starting out in life and I picked up more pounds than I cared to throughout my young life. I want to eat healthy, I want to eat better. I have some great recipies - mediterranian chicken, vegetarian peppers, etc. - but a lot of this stuff involves costly fruits and…
