What is your go-to food?
Hi everyone, I'm just getting my feet off the ground in this journey and I'm curious what go-to foods you use for Breakfast, Lunch, and Snacks!

Hungry!
Hey guys, I understand TDE etc and I currently eat back all of my work out calories! However, I've noticed that the harder I work out, the more calories I burn, the more calories I'm eating, then the hungrier I am. Today, I am on track for calories, ran early this morning, and woke up from my nap super hungry! I guess I…

TMI-Days of Constipation
I'm having this problem. I usually go every.single.day and pretty close to the same time each day. However, about once per week I get these bouts of constipation. I haven't "gone" since Thurs/Fri. Take a look at my diary. I hate taking milk of Mag or something equal!

My first milestone (mini)
It's not huge. But it's a big deal for me. I've been on MFP for about 50 days, actively working out 7 weeks, dong P90X, walking on the treadmill, counting my calories, and eating by my exercise calories. To date, I've lost 15 pounds and 13.75 inches total. Yeah. That's kinda a big deal for me! :)

I really hate...
my job. My boss makes me want to run full speed ahead into a wall. So many little things on top of several big things. My job is ruining my marriage. My job is disrupting my children's lives. My job is causing havoc on my mental health. I just want to cry every day I have to be here. That's all. :(

I could use some input.
Let me give you a little bit of background: I started this journey at 221lbs. I started P90X about 5 weeks ago, and around the same time also started Seasonale birth control pills. My goal is to lose weight and build muscle. To date I've lost roughly 14lbs. I'm trying low calorie, semi low-carb, but not too concerned with…

Food Triggers?
I'm an emotionally eater, historically. I've been "recovering" for a while, but I still have certain triggers. For example, husband sent me angry texts first thing this morning, and it makes me want to stuff my face. Whenever I feel like crying, I also feel like eating. :( Anyone else?

Fantasies
Got any? Celebrity crushes? Please, indulge! I have a fantasy of being smokin' hot and able to flaunt it! Also--I think Gerard Butler is crazy sexy!

How to eat more calories?
Hey guys, I have a 1310 daily goal, but, of course, when I burn more calories I earn more calories. I've read so many places that I should try to eat all my calories. I'm trying to eat well, but I don't know how to eat MORE. Can you check out my diary and advise? I have nearly 1000 calories left today!

Just for fun: "And Tony was all like..."
Tony Horton is amazing, but I also feel that ihe is slightly evil. Throughout my workouts, he says things that make me laugh to myself...does anyone else hear him? So I thought it would be fun to quote him here (obviously out of context!).

This is my "why"!
Over the holidays I saw how sick and fat my mom and sister are. I could easily become there--and not in the too distant future, either. I had enough. I want to live long and well. I want to play and enjoy life...and who am I kidding, I want to look super sexy, too! ha. I'm doing P90X, running/walking (5K training),…

Recipes!
Hey guys, I love to cook and I'm not willing to give up my tasty foods, but I am willing to give up the calories! (See what I did there?). So I've been working on changing some of my favorite recipes into healthier, lower calorie versions. (Keep in mind, I'm no nutritionist or chef, and I'm doing this in my kitchen with…

Ladies: 5'6" "Before" at 220 with "AFTER" pics?
HI ladies, I'm looking for some visuals for my own goals...I started out around 221 and my ultimate goal is 140. I'd like to get fit, lean, and cut. Anyone out there with some great before and after pics that are similiar to what I could have?

Anyone else on MFP while at work?
I work hospital admissions, so I'm sitting at a corner desk, facing the lobby, back to a copy machine...I surf all day! ;P My job is so boring!

Sick & Tired of being Sick & Tired
Hi, I'm Tiffany, age 32, mom of two 4.5 year old sons, married 10 years to my husband, John. I am starting this journey at 217 lbs, approximately. I've always been somewhat active--kinda hyper, I can't sit still for too long. I enjoy being active and busy, but haven't always been. Over the years, I've been diagnosed with…
