READY!
I was not the healthiest all weekend, but back on track today. Looking forward to having this sounding board over the next 6-7 weeks. I am headed to my in-laws for Thanksgiving, and there is typically not many healthy choices there, and I get sucked into the gravitational pull of the yummy appetizers! Does anyone have…

Holiday eating control
I am planning to use the J.A.B. method when confronted with delicious holiday foods. Just A Bite. I have been practicing! Someone brought in Munchkins to the office, and I JAB'ed it - so ate 1/2 munchkin instead of 4 munchkins. I don't feel like I am missing out, because I know I am "allowed" a bite, but I think of the…

Hello Plateau!
I am STUCK at my current weight. It may go up or down by 1/2 pound, but after a week of REALLY logging consistently and keeping up with my 30+ minutes of movement every day and drinking my 8 cups of water...well, I want to see loss, dammit! UGH. And my stomach is constantly growling. Feel like I MUST be doing something…

Dairy, yes or no?
I recently switched to Soy milk after reading that regular (cow) dairy is not that good for you and can cause bloating. I do not like the soy milk. Anyone out there with 1. facts about the true evil powers of dairy or 2. product recommendations for substitutes that won't make me gag? I really miss my afternoon Greek…

T25 - Love it? Hate it? Input please
I am thinking about purchasing the T25 series dvd's. A friend of mine has it and loves it. I have a Planet Fitness membership, I run when it is nice out, I am planning to dust my bicycle off this year, and I do Bikram Yoga. I am thinking T25 would be good on workdays in the morning, but I don't have a good track record…

Getting Re-Started! Ten by Christmas Challenge?
I've been a member here for a couple years. Over the summer, I've let my weight creep up due to lots of gooooood dining and good wines! Time to get back to work! I'd like to see the summer weight "FALL" away (that certainly makes it sound easy, which I know it won't be!), and a couple extra pounds for good measure. Anyone…

When do I say something? Do I say something?
I have an overweight son. He is 22 next week, works full time, lives at home. He has always been big, but seems to be gaining like crazy lately. I know he is aware he needs to lose weight - he always will comment about an amusement park ride he had to skip because of the weight limit, etc, but I am SO concerned about his…

Training for a climb
I would like to train for a couple of climbs this year. I am thinking Mt. Monadnock in late spring, and if that goes well, Mt. Washington in July. Looking for input as to how to train - keeping in mind that there are not any mountains in my immediate area! I like the Arc trainer at the gym, and can do it at the highest…

Elliptical Reccomendations??
I am looking to replace my treadmill with an elliptical. Anyone have one that they love? I'd like it to be smooth, durable, and not huge. I love the "Arc trainer" that is at my gym, but it is HUGE!!! I would definitely buy a "professional" level one if that is what I need to do to be happy with it. I want to be able to…

Why does it work?
I was just wondering: Why do you feel MFP works for you? (Or doesn't, if you feel that way!) I think it works for me because I used to just mindlessly eat. Now I try to make better food choices based on what I see on the screen as far as calories and fat. You?

Would have, Should have...
What did you have for dinner? What did you have that you wish you hadn't, and what healthier choices did you make tonite? AND, what would you have had if the calories didn't count?? I had steak tips, brown rice, salad and a glass of wine. I didn't eat anything that I wish I hadn't, just ate more steak than I should have…

Having to ditch the bigger sized clothes!
I started on MFP about 2months ago I think. I only wanted to lose 10 pounds, in preparation for upcoming foot surgery. This last 10 pounds really love me, since they find me over and over again, like a boomerang! Well, when I pulled out my summer clothes, I just threw them into the bureau drawers because I was in a rush.…

What day of the week do you weigh in?
I'm just curious: what day of the week you choose to weigh in on, and why? I weigh in on Tuesdays. I began on MFP by weighing in on Mondays, but the weekends were killing me (salt = water weight) and so I changed it to Tuesdays. :wink:

Everyday things for which I'd like calorie burning credit!
I'd like to know what happens in your everyday life that you think could be burning calories, but you don't count them. Please, NO SERIOUS answers here! Just for fun! For example, today I would like credit for: Tossing and turning (insomnia) - 1.5 hours Forgetting why I came into a room, leaving, then remembering, and…

Which calorie count is accurate?
There is sometimes a huge discrepancy between the calories I am supposedly burning when I compare the count on the machine's display to the count that is coming up on MFP. For example, today I did an eliptical machine at the college fitness room for 45 minutes. The machine says I burned 250 calories, but it did not ask me…

Spousal Sabotage!
I am trying to lose just 7 more lbs. by June 23rd. I am having foot surgery June 24th and will be off my feet for 4-6 weeks, and unable to hit the gym. My issue is the feeling that my husband seems to always be trying to sabotage my efforts to eat healthy. He does not care too much about what he eats ie: he thinks eating…

New here - Hello!
Hi, I am new to the site which my sister reccomended. I am 47 and trying to get off this plateau where I have been stuck for a couple of years. I want to drop the last 7-8 pounds so I can be in my jeans and breathe/eat at the same time, but although I can drop 2 or 3, they tend to go right back on. I know that I do better…
