What the ef do I log?
Alright, MFPers. I'm trying to be accurate with my logging of exercise. My settings will tell you I'm "lightly active", and my pedometer says I've walked 10 miles today. How much of that do I get to log for extra calories? Blerghh I want more food to eat lol

Fitness NSV!!! I'm so excited!!!!
Alright, so as someone who has lost most if not all of her weight by diet alone, the fitness part of this is coming in a little late for me. I've been trying to run these past couple of weeks, and while I've improved in speed, I could never seem to run more than half a mile before having to stop because my chest just hurt…

Maintenance fail.
Hey guys...so you know that story of someone who loses weight and focuses so well and suddenly they balloon up again? I fear this story is ALMOST mine...I'm in to maintenance by just over a week and feeling like I've lost so much strength in willpower as to what I put in my mouth. Without the goal of seeing a number on a…

Anyone here on maintenance?
Hey MFP! I'm just stepping into long-term maintenance and after a few days of total chaos, I think I need to stay logging everything for a long, long time. Anyone on here in the same boat?
-
Friggin tired! Am I just getting sick or does this have to d
Alright, MFP...today I've felt all tired and sorta off my game. No symptoms of any sickness other than fatigue, though. My head doesn't hurt, my throat isn't sore, etc. Also, I get plenty of sleep on a regular basis, usually around 7-8 hours and maybe more on weekends. I haven't been regularly logging so my diary isn't…

Why am I so hungry?!!
Alright, folks. You can check out my food diary for today - I ate that pasta like an hour ago, maybe an hour and a half. My stomach is growling and I've done nothing but sit on the couch and read! WHY am I so hungry?!?! What in the world should I do about it and also leave room for dinner calories?
-
Soo clooose and yet so far!! Anyone else in my boat?
Hey guys - I'm at a strange place of being SO close to my goal. Right now I'm a whopping 3-4 pounds from my goal weight of 120. On one hand, since I'm so close, it makes it easy to slack. What's really the difference of a few pounds? On the other hand, I'm fighting the urge to go psycho work out and make the goal get here…

ESPN
Is anyone watching ESPN right now? Making me feel whimpy about my weight training...

So I just started working out, and I'm losing nothing?!
Alright MFPers. I've been on here for a while and I've lost around 26 pounds. All of that weight loss was from dieting alone. This last week (roughly, every day since saturday) I've been exercising - usually 20 minutes of elliptical or arc trainer and 20ish minutes of some sort of bike. I've been counting calories and I…

OH, oh my. Good thing I'm back here!
So it's time to get back on the horse: going to get back in to the swing of classes and cooking for myself, and I can't wait. Don't want to think about what the scale said this morning, even though it was after a WAY too big breakfast and with all my clothes on. Still. So, I'm going to be doing some lunges and squats and…

Please HELP! How to healthily gain weight?
Alright. As I've been working to lose weight, I haven't really noticed my boyfriend's role in it. Or my role in his diet, I should say. I cook a lot for the two of us, and he's naturally very skinny as is. I don't mean slim, I mean SKINNY. He easily weighs 120 pounds and is 5'10", 21 years old. Mostly I'm wondering...if…

Supersize vs. Superskinny - my favorite show!
Okay guys - if you have the Oprah network, have you seen Supersize vs. Superskinny? It's on right now! I love it!

And...what should I eat now?
Hey MFP'rs. Check out my diary. I've got about 250 calories left, am reasonably hungry but could also go without eating. It's my first day back from maintenance (I cycle) and I just don't know what to eat. I've got potatoes and sweet potatoes lying around, along with oatmeal and other healthy stuff like veggies and soups.…

For those who weigh daily - sometimes that scale does the op
I'm a daily weigher - I know many people say to ditch this habit and focus more in inches, but the daily weigh in actually helps me stay focused and accountable. However, doing this, I notice some funny patterns. Like when I work out, especially a really self-pushed work out, I tend to go up two, maybe even three pounds…

Ugh. I shouldn't feel guilty, so why do I?
Maybe I'm the only one,but I have a feeling I'm not. I'm getting ever-closer to my goal, and the mere THOUGHT of seeing 12X.X makes me want to run fifteen miles just to see it tomorrow. So I've been being good, and today for lunch I had some chicken nuggets, fries, and a cookie. I logged everything and I'm well within my…

Mushy foods?
Hi all, So I've been having some pretty severe jaw troubles lately - TMJ is getting bad. I really can't eat foods that require too much pressure from chewing without my face cracking, popping, and getting VERY painful. I have a splint coming in a few weeks that should help me, but in the meantime, all I can think of eating…

Now what?
Okay, so combatting the inevitable way that I felt this morning after the traditional festivities of yesterday, (and hitting up first watch), I find myself already over my sugar intake that I've upped from what's suggested anyway!?!?! Sugar is where I ALWAYS find myself going over. And I want to be better about that. What…

Check my diary, suggest some food..
Alright. So I've not eaten enough today and I am genuinely not craving any food. What should I eat? You can see in my diary that I've added some extra quick add calories that I haven't actually eaten. (One being my over-eating from yesterday and one being half of my exercise calories - these are non-negotiable for today.)…

Good foods to un-do what's been done?
Alright, so these past couple of days I've done really well eating right - until dinner, when my friends and I go. Then I've eaten my fill and then some of Spanish and Mexican food!...all topped off with deserts. Needless to say, neither my stomach nor my body feel very good right now. What should I be eating to get myself…

I've managed to avoid exercise so far...where do I start?
Alright. So far I've lost about 17 pounds and if I'm being honest, it's completely through diet. I know, I know, this is only going to let my body stay flabby as I lose muscle along with fat during dieting. I bought a membership to a gym down the street and have honestly been too busy to go down there very often - I work a…

Bargh! Frustrated! Can someone look at my food diary?
Hi, So I've been staying really close within my calorie limit these last days and it's done absolutely nothing. I've put on 1.4 pounds in the last three days. I know that when I weighed in Monday morning (135.2) I was probably very dehydrated. However, these last couple of days I've just gone up, even though I try to drink…
