Have you ever just had a complete meltdown?
So I've been doing good, tracking and weighing and last night at some point in the middle of the night while half asleep, I seemed to have a meltdown and eat probably 13 of the little mini donuts that come in a bag. I've had a hellish few days, my mother-in-law is in the hospital with blood clots in her lungs and legs and…

Is it possible to gain 2 pounds in 2 days?
So it was my son's birthday this past weekend, we went out to dinner both days, I tried to eat protein as my main source but I didn't make great food choices. I just didn't know if it was possible to gain two pounds or if it could possibly sodium intake? I work out every day, I get my 10K steps in every day.

How to make a meal and stay within calorie budget
Ok, so I am looking to make dinner, dinner which my family will eat, do meal plans. I don't know how I can do this and still remain within my calorie budget. It seems impossible. I count every little calorie that goes into something, so If I am making a huge meal for people then I'm not sure how to count those calories and…

TDEE and MFP Calories
According to my TDEE 2380 and MFP has me set at 1680, I know on the TDEE you need to drop 500 calories off that to lose 1 pound per week. My question is, if I want to lose 1.5 pounds per week (which is what I have the MFP set at) how do I do it regarding the TDEE if that is the route I want to take when regarding calories.…

Struggling here with some numbers.
I currently weigh 241 pounds, I was at 248 sixteen days ago. I think it's awesome how far I have come. I am currently trying for a 70 pound weight loss. I have my calories set to where I can eat 1750 per day. However, I don't eat my 1750 and I also exercise almost daily and earn about 800 calories. They are hour long…

Polar H7 vs. Nautilus Treadclimber, results below.
So with my Treadclimber which I had used for my calories because it's supposed to burn "3x regular calories" and here I am, I decided to buy a heart rate monitor. Let me tell you, the results are WAY off. Do not trust the Treadclimber results, you will be disappointed if you are counting on those for calories. Do not spend…

Do you trust the calories burned that MFP says that you burned during an exercise?
I'm trying to figure out the whole km stuff, I'm just wondering if I should trust it or not.

Question about TDEE.
I'm not sure how it works or if it's good for me? Maybe I just don't understand it? I believe it's calories in vs. calories out right? If that's the case then I have no idea of my calories out.

I need suggestions.
I had one bad day yesterday, I broke down and at more than I should have. I blew it big time. I know that I need to get back on it today, I'm really thinking about sending my treadclimber back. I've gained a 1.5 pounds, how is this even possible? Needless to say, I'm exhausted to say the least. I use it daily for an hour.…

Weighing food.
When you weigh your food and cook it, do you count the calories before it's cooked or after it's cooked. The grams that is.

Bowflex treadclimber
Thoughts on this? I just paid 2220.00 for it, I wanted to know if anyone else had used it and how much success they had with it? Of course it comes to motivation, which I am. I've recovered from my leg which was broken in 3 places and I am ready to start all over again! I put on so much weight being sedentary due to my…

Which Fitbit do you recommend?
I am currently using the zip and used it last year. It was great initially but now I am ready for something that is going to help me with realistic stats. I use MMW and I know those calories are WAY off and I also know MFP calories are way off too. So I'm thinking about the HR one, but then again, I was thinking about the…

I failed miserably
I was doing awesome a year ago, felt great, lost 30 pounds! Then life happened. The weight slowly started to creep on again. I ended up breaking my tibia (big bone) in my leg in 3 places. So I was no weight bearing for 3 months. I ended up with pins, a plate and screws in my ankle. I also ended up gaining back the 30…

You are fat says the woman driving down the street.

Do you let MFP calculate calories?
When you have a weight loss do you let MFP calculate the calorie intake that was set for you originally? Or do you keep it what you've gotten and just work harder?

Milk and Cereal...
Just wondering what you guys did or if I am wanting to save calories. If you have milk left over in the bowl that you didn't eat with your cereal, do you measure it, put it down the sink and add some of your calories back?? :)

77 days in the journey
I'm having a super hard time right now, I seem to be having an issue with eating peanut butter, I crave it, I'm not eating good during the day (we are having some financial issues, so being able to buy the things that I need to eat, I'm having to eat with the family which are high calorie foods) I'm falling apart, I'm…

Does muscle really weigh more than fat?
Also, if you have the calories left and lets say you are hungry at 11:30 at night, do you think that it's just wrong to have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich especially if you are only using have of the portions, I'm really struggling here.. I'm frustrated and I am pissed at myself.. Would you have that sandwich that…

The scale hates me..
2 pound weight gain, really?
-
Ugh! This sucks!!
Candy is my worst enemy! I've been bad and fell off the wagon. How could a scale reflect a 4 pound weight gain in a 3 day period? I ate junk, but I don't think 3 pounds worth, I've been bad about taking a bite here and there (but I would log the bites also), which I know, ruins it.. My real downfall started Friday night…

Ok, someone please tell me why diet soda isn't good for you.......
I know I should drink more water, I truly could adjust if I wanted to, I can put a little pack of splenda in there, but what's so bad about the diet soda? Haha, I find it funny being a nurse and asking this question.. How does not drinking it contribute to weight loss?

To the earlier you in life
If could say anything to the younger you, If you are already young, then what would you say to the future you. Also, the same question applies to the older group too. For me, It would be, You will struggle, you will find at times that it's easier to give up and give in. But, put your whole heart into everything that you do…

A little off topic, but still involves weight loss..
I have always went through a depression, always.. In the last 4 years after the birth of my last child it was the worst period of my life. (Mother of the year right?)

Super Dumb Question...
Why isn't my ticker showing, especially when I am busting my butt. It's not showing any weight loss on here, even though I've already lost 8 pounds. I would like to see my progress, but don't know how. :(
