5:2 intermittent fasting
I am a week into this way of eating and so far so good. The first week I didn't really know much about it and didn't do anything except take in 500 calories on my fasting days. The other five days I just ate whatever. Some days it wasn't much and others it was too much and crap. Just yesterday I calculated my TDEE and my…

Dinner out
I'm going out to dinner tonight for a friend's bday. Not many healthy choices at this Italian restaurant, but found a salad that seems ok. Unfortunately the website doesn't have nutritional info and google isn't providing much help. It is a local chain in Oregon called Bugatti's. Any tips on motivation tonight so I don't…

No longer "obese"
I never felt "obese" but according to my BMI, I was. I'm down 24 lbs and JUST moved into the overweight range with my BMI. Looking forward to the next jump to Normal. Most of m weight has come off in the last 8 weeks through tracking religiously, radio and heavy weights.

Am I able to do Tough Mudder?
By the time TM hits Portland on June 16th I will be in the 150's (I have been consistently losing 2lbs a week for the past 7 weeks). Just yesterday my friend asked me to join their TM team, as her husband is injured and they already have his spot paid for. Here is what I am currently able to do. Run/Jog at a 4.0 -4.5 pace…

So annoyed
I started following a lifting routine from www.simplyshredded.com last week. Love it. Hadn't copied it down though and now I get an error message, even when trying to google it and enter the site that way. I'm supposed to lift tonight, I remember a couple of the exercises, but I'm pissed. I love that routine.

Does anyone have before/after (or progress) for 90 days?
I am participating in a 90 day weight loss challenge at my gym (and the 4 other sister clubs) that lasts 90 days. Grand prize is a cruise, 2nd a weekend getaway and 3rd a $500 credit t a local resort. I am dedicated/motivated and armed with the right tools. 1250 calories a day, including the protein shake I have after…

Have u found WATER to help you drop lbs?
I'm finally starting to drink water and I find the weight is, at least initially, coming off quicker than with anything else I've done. Does anyone swear by water?

NSV at the gym
I take a class called Body Combat and every 3 months they come out with new routines Well, the ab/core training on the last track that was released a few weeks ago includes holding a plank and lifting your foot to tap to the side, then repeating on the other foot - for quite a while. When we started a few weeks ago I could…

Thanks for helping!
Good Morning, I just wanted to post a quick thanks to all of you who post successes, with and without pics, scale and non-scale victories. I am back to MFP after several months and in the last 10 days I've lost 4.2 lbs. My ticker doesn't reflect that because I had gained a few from when I initially joined. Anyway....I…

Re-intro
Hello. My name is Megan. I've been a member for a while but I'm finally going to start taking everything seriously. My typical diet habits are a roller coaster. I will do great for a week then binge for two weeks and so on. I had stopped really logging and counting calories a while back when I was trying to "eat clean". I…

starting out
Okay - so I currently workout 3 xs a week taking a cardio kickboxing class called Bodycombat. If I log this I say 45 minutes so I don't get too many calories given back but how much of the exercise calories should I eat back? Do I always have to eat them back? Some times I'd like to, but will I lose at a faster rate if I…

MUST do it this time!
So I've been a member for a while now and will track sporadically and watch what I eat on and off. Well, now I don't have a choice. My husband and I were denied for life insurance....well not really denied but we were given the option of paying more OR same payment but less coverage. I was a wreck last night. Just…

SMALL NSV
So I was out to dinner tonight and rather than eating my entire plate, I got a doggy bag. This rarely happens; I usually have no problem stuffing my face as long as the food is in front of me!

Snap out of it!
My nutritionist who I started seeing (btw, she reccomended MFP) said she had a client who wore a rubber band around his wrist at all times and when he began to self sabatoge he'd pull the rubber band and let it snap him on the wrist...so he would "snap out of it". I'm trying this. Also, she suggested that at night I make…

4th of July desserts?
I'd like to make a low cal dessert that actually tastes YUMMY! And it's also easy to make (I don't know my way around the kitchen that well and my husband would say that's an understatement, lol). THANKS

Lifting weights
So I have a trainer I started working with twice a week. He has me on a weight lifting program and for the first time in my life I'm breaking a sweat in the weight room and huffing and puffing. I logged my exercise into MFP but it didn't earn me extra calories. That's FINE, I don't NEED extra calories, but I'm wondering if…

Nooooooo
I hopped off the bandwagon for a few weeks and gained back all I had lost and then some. UUUGGGGHHHH so depressed! Well, it was certainly motivation to step on the scale. Back to healthy eating!

hiccup
Yesterday was AWFUL...today was better but still consisted of cake. Tomorrow will be better but will still consist of junk food as I'm going out with family to celebrate some great stuff and will have creme brule. At least I'm logging. I kept putting off coming to the website but at last...I am here and being honest.

CUPCAKES....AHH!
I teach kindergarten and had the kids frost their own cupcakes today for their end of year celebration. THey are gone now and i have yet to have one cupcake, one spoonful of frosting, one gumdrop, or any other topping. I am terrified that if I have one bit of something I won't stop..I KNOW how I am. I just have to go a…

Easy breakfast
I hate spending time making food, especially breakfast. This AM I just poured 3/4 c egg whites into a pan and added some chopped frozen spinach. Sometimes I add other stuff too...whatever is in the fridge, onions, green onion, peppers, etc. I also toasted a piece of Dave's Killer Bread which is YUMMY! By the time the toast…

Not eating enough calories?
Okay, so this doesn't happen to me very often, but yesterday the end of the day came and I was barely at 1,000 calories. My daily goal is 1300ish. Should I try to consume the 300 calories before bed even if I'm not hungry? I didn't want to eat just to eat, and I knew if I was going to eat it would be junk food which would…

1 week into MFP
Hello all. I started MFP less than a week ago. I am already down 4.5 lbs. Although now I"m back to the weight that I have a hard time getting past. Today, I'm a .5 pound lighter than the day I found out I was pregnant in January of 2010. In the past six months I have tried Weight Watchers AND Atkins. I think both can work…
