I have been working in Queens for the last 2 years on various sites and recently was transferred to Manhattan. That entails getting up at 4:30 in the morning, catching a train and not getting home until…

Doctors scale?!
I went to the doctor today and my weight was 188 lbs....my home scale has been telling me I'm 195 for the last 2 weeks despite my calorie counting and exercising. I have a digital scale and pulled the batteries to reset it but it's still reading 195. I'm getting frustrated because I though I wasn't losing weight. Who do I…

Not able to eat as much....
I find myself eating less now and not being hungry. Some days I can't get all of my calories in (I'm at 1500 a day). It's like I can't physically eat as much now and my tummy gets full faster. Anyone else have this "problem"?

Protein?
I don't eat near enough protein and need to start eating more. I need some ideas of stuff I can eat that is high in protein. I'm a non-red meat and pork eater and have a few medicals issues but I am willing to try (most stuff) once to see if I like it. Also wondering how much protein you eat in a typical day. Thanks…

Need support/motivation
HELP! I've went off my diet when the hurricane hit our area (almost a month ago) because I knew that I'd be running around with my fire department for a few days on standby and would have to eat what ever they got us to eat. We had no power for 4 days so I was eating canned food and junk. Since then I had had NO motivation…

Interesting documentary on diets and the government
Hey everyone! Being on a diet for me is tough...I can imagine it's the same for everyone. I just watched this really interesting documentary called 'Fat Head' on diets and the government and I wanted to share it with everyone. I thought it was appropriate because it contains some interesting info on the science behind…

Bridesmaid dress
We went and got measured at the second store on saturday for our dresses for my sisters wedding. My waist measurement was one size smaller (which would account for my suddenly too big jeans!) than at the last measurement we had at the first store a month ago (where she decided not to get the dresses). They ordered me a…
