Losing a loved one and a newer diet
I recently restarted my diet at the end of August.(lost 16lbs so far!) Last week my grandma passed away, and it's been rough on me. You never realize how much you love someone until they are gone! Tuesday was the wake and yesterday was the funeral. I've still been logging, but my eating has not been the greatest. I really…

Hi everyone! :)

(I never ate a lot, it was…

Roses or tulips?
I want to send my mom some flowers for mothers day, and found a pretty good deal on proflowers. I can't decide between the roses or the tulips. They are both so pretty! I wish i could give both, but I can't. I never sent her flowers before, so this will be a complete surprise and she totally deserves it, but I just can't…

Hey - Today I had dental surgery and I had a few teeth removed, all in the back. Before I went for my appointment I was 166, took a nap and after I woke up, I weighed myself (in the evening mind you) and it was 164.6. I'm not complaning - this is great! However, is this normal? Also, I haven't any food yet.. I'm on a…

(two upper and one lower)I will probably be in lot of pain, and it will be hard to eat solid foods for a few days. Any recommendations on food? I know the next few days my calories will probably be way under I'm…

Going out to eat!
I am just wondering what everyone else does when it comes to counting your calories when you go out to eat at places that don't have nutritional information. Tonight, I went out w/ some friends at a local pizza place. They have really good thin crust Chicago style (yes it does exist!) pizza. I put in what I had in the…

Comfort foods
I'm sure we've all been there. Bad day, week, etc and really wanting the comfort foods. How do you get through the urges? I've been under a lot of stress at work. Working lot of late hours (the OT is nice though!) and just keep getting passed up for promotions, so it's hard and I'm stressed and want my "happy foods." My…

Calorie intake
Hello! I'm on a 1200 calorie diet, and it seems to be getting easier and easier. One main reason is I am not drinking my calories! Yesterday I didn't eat 1200. (only 1060!) and I wasn't hungry at all. Same thing today. I'm only at 888 calories right now. Should I eat more to get to 1200 even though I am not hungry? I don't…

Women only question :)
Hello! I'm back on my diet, and I'm just curious how much weight you normally gain when you have your "friend" (and speaking of that, how in the world did it ever get nicknamed friend? It had to be a man who nicknamed it that!) I just started my diet, and I've still noticed I've lost weight since I last weighed myself! (I…

Fake bacon
One of my favorite dinners is "brinner" aka breakfast for dinner. However, bacon is not good for you. I want to be healthier, lose weight and not have a lot of fatty foods. What is best? How does it compare to the real bacon?

I'm back to dieting (I previously lost 25lbs when I was laid off, got a job again and well kind of gained it back, plus 5lbs) and I just want to see what other peoples habits are! I decided to weigh myself weekly on Sundays. (previously I did it every…

Hey... I can't seem to find something on MFP site and I was wondering if you guys could help me out. As you can see my little ticker goes up to 64lbs. Well, when I first started my journey I was a little lighter (was laid off, lost 25 lbs, got a job and ended up gaining 30 back) so I need to update my weight lost goal to…

Getting back on the bandwagon
Last year I was laid off, and had lots of free time on my hands so I started to finally diet. I had lost 25lbs just about. I used to measure how serving sizes exactly too! Would try my hardest not to eat over 1200 calories (that is what I need to eat to lose weight according to MFP, I'm only 5'0!) However, once I got…

New clothes! :)
Isn't it a great feeling when the clothes you are wearing are too big!?! Well, I haven't bought new clothes since I started my weight lost journey and now that I am down nearly 22 pounds, I notice things are WAY to big on me! My fiancee even helped make a new belt hole since my belt was also WAY to big. I need to get new…

Calories burned during overnight shift?
Hi! I just started a new job yesterday. I am working Target, stocking overnight. Yesterday I worked 7 hours. I'm never on my feet for 7 hours straight, so I know I had to burn a good amount of calories. I spent the night putting merchandise on pallets, stocking it and of course walking around as well. I put down yesterday…

Met my first goal! :)
I stepped on the scale this morning and it said 150! That was my first weight lost goal! It feels so nice to have reached it. I am down from a high of 169. (I am only 5'0 tall!) I wanted to originally meet it on 11/15 - so I met it almost a whole month early. My next goal is to be 135. I originally wanted to meet it by…

You don't look like you need to lose weight!
Has anyone ever told you this? I need to lose weight - but I admit, I do hold my weight really well.

Not losing any more!
Hello! I was losing weight at a good pace, and now it just seemed like it stopped. I have lost 16 pounds since my heaviest. 10 lbs since I started MFP back up and now I am just losing weight. I am always under my calories., However, I wonder if it is that I am not eating enough calories though. Sometimes I eat around 1,000…

Serving sizes
I was just wondering how many people actual measure out the serving size or do you eye ball it? Right now I am measuring out everything. Even 8oz of milk, or a 1/4 cup cheese. I want to make sure that my calorie intake is as accurate as can be.

Honeymoon!

Female question!
Do you notice that when it's your time of the month, you gain weight? Since I have started really focusing on dieting this is the first time for me, and I have gained like 3 lbs and I haven't done anything different in my eating habits. Does the weight come off easily once it is over? Also - I'm not sure if it is just…
