Need to vent!!!
Today is just one of those days where I feel like I can't deal with all the "life stuff". Earlier, an elementary school in my city found a detonated pipe bomb on their roof. I happen to have 2 children attending elementary schools in the same city, and I was just down the street. Everyone was ok, but all the thoughts and…

Is it possible with TDEE? Wedding in August!
I have felt overwhelmed with weight loss information lately; very sad and lost. As we all know, there's SO MUCH out there. I've been struggling on deciding what is the best route for me--MFP's settings of calorie intake/output, Weight Watchers, low carb, paleo, Medifast, etc, etc. It's left me floundering and overeating…

One side fatter than the other- HELP!
So...this is pretty embarrassing, but one side of my body is fatter than the other side. And it's quite visible. I guess not really with clothes, but it is very obvious without. It's in my mid-section, which is my problem area where I carry most of my fat. Does anyone have any input as to why this might happen? I'm racking…

Weight Watchers Experience?
I need to lose about 40 pounds in time for my mid-August wedding. I've favored a low-carb diet but am looking for something that is more sustainable and won't send me on a huge binge every time I slip up. Simply counting calories and exercising has not worked the best for me in the past, and I'm scared that there's…

How Does Caffeine Affect Ketosis?
I am trying to follow a low-carb lifestyle and need to lose about 45-50 pounds. I am aware that it can be considered unnecessary to use diet pills while following a low-carb diet, however I am considering adding a supplement to maximize my weight loss and give myself a bit of a boost. I also enjoy an occasional caffeinated…

Valentine's Day Dilemma
I know it's some weeks away but the man and I are talking about going away for a weekend to Vegas with another couple friend of ours for Valentine's Day, but I'm worried about what I'll eat. I'm 2 weeks into a low carb diet and I don't eat meat, so anytime I eat "out" my options are: salad, eggs, or steamed veggies. And an…

Mushroom Bisque
I am looking for a good low carb mushroom bisque recipe, or another creamy low carb mushroom soup recipe, or even some other way to use the mushrooms in my fridge in a creamy, low carb way!!! I've googled and have looked around quite a bit and haven't been able to find one. Does anyone have any good ideas? It'd be greatly…

Broken metabolism
Hello all, I hope this topic hasn't been posted before. I know that can get annoying. Anyway, I've had a few bad weeks with an ever-increasing negative voice in my head telling me my metabolism is broken. I've done possibly every crash diet possible, and have taken a lot of diet pills. I was also, once upon a time…

Successfully lose without cutting carbs?
I know the low-carb vs not is a huge ongoing debate, but my question is more specific. Who out there has successfully lost weight without cutting carbs? Who still indulged in desserts and the likes but still lost through exercise and staying within calorie limits? I exercise 6 days a week and stay within a good range in my…

Favorite motivational thing/quote
I wouldn't be surprised if this topic has been posted a lot but I am fairly here, and am curious...what's your favorite motivational quote? I like a lot of the things Billy Blanks says, among them "Where I am today is where my mind put me. Where I am tomorrow is where my mind put me." What motivates you? Anything at all,…

High Intensity Interval Training
How many calories does HIIT burn an hour? Specifically for a160 lb (or so) woman? I'm looking everywhere and am surprised that I can't find the answer. I can't find any calculators or articles that include it! And it's not in the database! I am trying to figure out how many calories Turbofire burns and figure it would be…

How many of you eat your "exercise calories"?
In the past few days I've read some posts that mention not eating exercise calories. Am I one of the few that does? Will I still lose weight effectively on MFP if I eat all or most of my exercise calories? I'm feeling paranoid that doing so will keep me from progressing! Any opinions/insight much appreciated!
