Efficient Digestion for Weight Loss
Hey All! About three months ago, my husband and I started making Green Smoothies (we heard about it on Good Morning America) and so we've been eating them first thing every morning. After two weeks, we realized that we hadn't purchased potato chips in that time (UNHEARD of for us!). Since then, I've lost about 20 pounds…

Losing my Marbles - literally! Visualize loss
I'm a visual learner so I decided to make my weight loss goals into something tangible and if you like the idea, use it! What you need: two glass containers (pint glasses work just fine, or pretty vases) lots of marbles construction paper or stickers or anything fun if you want to decorate the containers (not completely…

Sabotage!
Why oh why can I not do this? It's like I go through phases: 1. Get in shape, track calories, lose weight! 2. Stress = over eat and sleep and laze around 3. Guilt, messed up, nothing will change 4. GAIN weight. I know this is my pattern. When I first joined MyFitness over two years ago, I weighed 220 pounds, then I lost 15…

I'm back!
I hate to admit it, but I certainly fell off the band wagon and reasoned myself away from this site... I'm not sure why and it doesn't make a whole lotta sense. It was almost as if I was afraid to keep going. I lost 5 lbs and didnt' think I could keep up with my "luck." I know it's not luck, but my brain works in crazy…

uh-oh weekend
After a lot of the usual stress that comes with wedding planning and prep, my fiance and I needed to take a "vacation" - meaning we told everyone we went camping and couldn't be reached. What we really did was stay in all weekend and play Wii. It was great to not even go to the store or answer the phone, but of course that…

Biggest Loser Power Sculpt
I just started the Biggest Loser Power Sculpt and it's a challenge! Does anyone know how many calories are burned during this dvd (preferably on each level?)?? Also, this is great using the weights, but I should probably add in some cardio (even though I'm out of breath during the power sculpt)!...any suggestions? THANKS!!

The Wedding Blues!
Hello! I'm new to Fitness Pal and it seems pretty awesome. I've always been active, but could never seem to get slim-slim. Then, after a pretty wretched experience, I went on all sorts of anti-depressant and anxiety medications and gained 50 pounds in 6 months!!! Needless to say, that about put me off the deep end more…

Calories burned - remaining calories??
Why does the "calories remaining" change when I add in an exercise - I know the formula is: calories + calories burned - caolories consumed = calories remaining.. but why would I want to consume all the calories I just burned off? Why doesn't MFP just subtract the calories I consume? am I supposed to use up "calories…

fourth day at MFP
So, I'm officially on day four here and I must say that I love it! I don't know if it's just a mind trick, but since I've been cutting calories and eating smaller meals more often, I've noticed a difference in just how full I feel... last night I went out to eat and I had just a turkey club sandwich (no mayo, no french…

Jogging Boredom
I've never been a runner, i.e. once around the block and I either get winded or just plain bored! At the gym, I can do the elliptical for a few miles, but same problem - even with music or some other distraction, I just get bored. People talk about the high they get from running - but how do I make it to that point without…

What is the scoop on Caffeine?
I'm a coffee drinker (okay, okay, addict). I've been good about weaning myself off of the caffeine so that now I don't get the headaches in the afternoon if I miss the morning cup... but what about weight loss? I've heard conflicting things - coffee to lose the appetite (much like how smoking works)...but caffeine works…
