SV's or NSV's?
Just curious- do you guys get more excited about the scale moving or those sweet little NSVs?

Waiting tables...exercise?
Is waiting tables considered exercise? In a busy restaurant, you are on your feet for hours, carrying things, and sweating! Is that exercise? If so, how would you log it?

Cooking for yourself and someone who isn't dieting
Hey ya'll. Just curious if any of you find this challenging. My fiance is not on a diet, nor does he need to be. Do any of you find it difficult to cook a meal that sticks to your weight loss goals but satisfies the other person as well? He is awesome and will eat anything I put in front of him without complaint, but I…

So I've got 413 cals left...
But only 2g of sugar left. What can I eat to get closer to my calorie goal without going over my sugar limit?
-
Water
Ok, before I am attacked, I get that "only water should be counted as water". I don't count the sparkling waters or diet drinks. But what about unsweetened, home brewed green tea? Does that count toward water? I brew green tea bags and add nothing to it. Does anyone count this in their water intake?

Thoughts on cheese?
Cheese is one of my favorite foods, but lately some people have told me that between the dairy and fat, it will wreak havoc on your diet. Do you guys think cheese is really that bad??

Changing calorie goals?
Hey ya'll. I'll start by giving my stats- 5'6", 148lb. My goal weight is 140-143. My calorie goal was set at 1200/day, which calculated a loss of 2lb per week. I follow the guidelines pretty strictly, but I'm only seeing a 0.5lb-1lb loss per week. This tells me that maybe a 2lb/wk loss is too aggressive for my body? I've…

NSV
Had a clothing NSV this weekend!!!! I got into a pair of denim capri pants that, about 2 weeks ago, I couldn't get past my hips. Let me say they don't fit *great*, but they were on, zipped and buttoned!!!! Small success in my book!

UP 1lb this morning?????? How's that possible??
Calling all MFPs- I don't know what's going on here but I'm pissed! My diary is public, so you can check it out. I've done really well eating this week and exercised every day. I weighed this morning and had GAINED 1lb. This is maddening! My goal is 10lb and I've lost 4lb. I'm struggling with the last little bit. What am I…

How do you...
Eat enough calories without going over on carb/fat/sugar/sodium? I find most days I have a huge calorie deficit, but seem to be over on everything else!

Anyone notice a slight gain the day after an intense workout
Good morning all! Trying to figure out if I'm the only one this happens to. On days when I work out extra hard, I notice a slight increase on the scale the next day. Maybe due to swollen muscles retaining water? I'm not sure. Anyway, I weigh everyday but count it "officially" on Fridays. I'm thinking of just doing some…

NSV- arms!!!
I was pulling my hair up this morning and noticed definition in my arms! I made it my default pic for now because I can't figure out how to post a pic on the forum. Anyway, I'm super excited to see some muscles in my arms!

Recovery after an unhealthy meal
Hey ya'll. Last night I went to a Japanese restaurant for a birthday. I had planned on eating sushi, but ended up getting hibachi with all the fried rice, white sauce, etc. I feel so guilty today and the scale was up a couple lbs this morning. Any tips on quick recovery today?

Sugar in fruit
Ok, I'm over on my sugar today, but 28g of it is from apples (raw, plain). Is this bad?

Feeling Blah!!!
Well, not much to say other than I'm generally feeling blah and discouraged. It's about time for my period, so I'm sure that's got something to do with it all. Not really losing much, and just not feeling great about it! I'm 5'6" and go between 148-152, and can't seem to get below 148. My goal is 140-143, which is where I…

Gaining/losing same lbs over and over
Hey MFP peeps. Here's the deal. I'm 5'6", and I weigh 150lb. I'd like to be at 140, which is where I was consistantly from high school until just about a year ago (I'm 24). In the last year, 10lbs have crept up. Anyway, each week I toy with the SAME 3lbs!!! I'll go from 147-153, and all numbers in between. It's making me…

Bored with 30 day shred?
For those doing the 30DS, or have done in the past: did you have an issue with boredom? This is not the first time I've done it, but I've never completed it because I just get so sick of it. Right now I'm on day 8 of level 2, and the thoughts of doing that workout one more time make me want to scream! Am I the only one…

Question about being over on protein
Most days I'm over on my protein, but under my calorie goal overall. Will this being over on protein hinder results? Is there anything *wrong* with being over on protein?
