Not seeing results but feeling them?
I should start by saying that I do not own a scale. Seeing fluctuations has always been discouraging so I'm trying to go by how I look and feel. I've been on MFP for a month. I have been doing really well with food choices and staying within my goal: 1200-1500 calories a day. I also walk the dog 5 times a week averaging 2…

What food/drink won't you give up?
Okay... Title might be misleading as I know that moderation is the key. But, on our health goals we tend to stray from certain foods perhaps out of fear that the half cookie we just ate will make us instantly gain weight. I eat what I want in moderation. I would be miserable otherwise. But, there is one thing that I will…

Someone please convince me to weigh myself... :)
I just started MFP. I don't own a scale as there is a love/hate relationship there. I tend to either weigh myself all the time or I get discouraged when I'm not happy with the number. I thought I would try not having one. I have no idea my start weight but can feel changes since eating better and exercising. Little things…

Women 40+ Question...
I am definitely going through the "hit the 40s and harder to drop pounds" issue. What do you find has worked for you? I keep reading how hard it is to lose weight after 40 but I also find articles where people are not seeing a major difference. In order to drop 1 pound a week MFP says to have 1240 calories. I have put me…

No scales... Am I the only one?
In the past, I would become obsessed with the scale and would get discouraged quite easily. I no longer have one in my house. How many of you have found success with not doing weigh ins? And, how do you mark your progress: measurements, pictures, etc..? Do tell. :)

Stationary Bike...
Has anyone found success when doing the stationary bike? I am limited to what I can do as I need a new knee and I've had hip surgery (same leg). I am not allowed to do anything where I am putting weight on my leg, so no aerobics or anything like that. The bike and elliptical is what was recommended. I am working up to…

Billy Blanks Tae Bo DVDs Question...
I am loving these videos! But, wondering how many calories they actually burn? I will say that I get a great workout and can definitely feel the burn. I just can't see me losing 400+ calories in 40 minutes.

Tim Horton's Lovers... :)
I openly admit that I am addicted to double doubles! :) Here's my question: Each large is 230 calories. I'm not a breakfast eater, though I have been making smoothies. As long as I stay within my calories am I correct to assume that my addiction is okay? I will have a coffee in the morning on days where I honestly can't…

Sorry for this question: Exercise points!!! Please help. :)
First, I am sorry as I have seen posts on "eating your exercise calories." Unfortunately, for some reason I just still don't get it! Can someone please explain to me how this works? My app says I should eat 1200 calories to lose weight without working out. When I exericse, it adds those calories burned to my 1200 calories…
