Diabetic Diet: Suggestions Needed
I have a friend that is having a hard time with diabetes. She is trying to adjust her diet and needs some suggestions. The doctor would like for her daily goal of carbs to be around 100 grams. She is new to MFP and has changed her diary to count carbs so I know this will help her. Do you guys have any food/recipe…

I need help!!
I, for some reason, have lost all motivation to do this "weight loss thing". I dont know why. As always, in the beginning i'm fired up and excited about it and then I just lose it. I've lost almost 70 pounds. It's not that im not losing weight, because I am. I was excited about going to the gym every day. I was excited…

Why is it cheaper to eat unhealthfully...
First off...im not sure that "unhealthfully" is a word...but, as the subject states: Why is it so much cheaper to eat crap than it is to buy healthy foods and prepare them yourself? You can go to McDonalds and buy a cheeseburger and fries for a lot cheaper than going to the grocery store and buying foods to make a meal. It…

Small Achievement...but oh so proud :)
Today I went to the gym and I was able to weigh on the scale at the gym!! When I first started this journey, I couldn't do that. The scale did not go up to my beginning weight. The first time I went to the gym (right after signing up), I walked over to the scale to weigh in and I got the flashing "E" for error! I was so…

Less Weight and More Reps or More Weight and less Reps...
Which is better for weight loss? I usually do more weight and try to do 3 sets of 20 on each machine but an older guy at the gym came up to me and said it would be better for me to do less weight and more reps...

Exercise Tracker
I don't understand why weight lifting does not affect your calories... I've recently joined a gym (and I LOVE it!) and I do 30 mins on the treadmill and then start on the machines. I do 3 sets of 20 on each machine. These machines vary from leg press, ab machine, bicep/tricep machine...all kinds of things and when i'm…

This may start a war...
What do you all think of using Adapex (spelling)? With my statistics, 494 lbs 5 ft 3in, sedentary...good idea or bad idea? I would love to hear from someone who has actually experienced it...good or bad. It was suggested by my doctor but i've always been weary of taking any type of pill. What are the benefits? The down…

A little...(maybe a lot) discouraged...
Ok, so I have been dieting for a month now and I do not feel any different. I have not eaten over 1000 calories a day in a month. I do not drink anything other than water and diet Dr. Pepper (and the diet dr. peppers are limited). I'm morbidly obese and feel like I should be losing weight quicker. I lost 6 pounds the first…

Food Image Comparison
Someone, i'm not sure who, posted a pic one day last week that had a food comparison between a fast food meal and all of the healthy snacks that could have been eaten instead. I really want to find it and print it. Whoever it was, can you please repost it?

Caloric Intake...i'm still confused!
Ok, so my profile page says that my caloric intake should be 2140 calories a day. I am obese. Is it bad not to eat that many calories in one day if i'm trying to lose weight? If I eat less calories, like maybe a 1800 calorie diet...am I helping or hendering my weight loss?

Under-eating...
So i'm new to this. I signed up a long time ago, but have just now started logging in daily. I have a problem with under eating. I have to make myself eat. I've been told that this is part of the reason that I am obese. I do not eat enough to get my metabolism started. I typically do not eat until around 4pm and until…
