More of a "re-introduction"
I found MFP about 10months ago. I went hard and fast on the diet and excercise. Started in May around 206 and August 24th was down to 171, just a few pounds short of getting into the 160's. I quit posting, got lax about the food I was eating thinking "I will run it off tomorrow", drank plenty of beer (summer time in Texas)…

Water Calculation
I ran across it once before, but what is the calsulation again for how much water you need? The one I saw was a calculation using your body weight. Thanks

Help Me Understand My Stomach Pain
I get these hunger pains about 30 minutes after I eat. I can be stuffed to the gills with food, and 30 minutes later, have what I think is hunger pains. Here is the weird part. It only happens when I eat fruit. It can be a banana, orange, peach, apple..... I asked the doctor I use to use a long time ago about this and he…

Hydroxycut and others
Is there any benefit to these supplements/pills while exercising and following a good nutrition plan? Just curious if any of you peeps use something and if it works, I would like to know.

What is my goal weight???
Although the MFP weight tracker doesn't show it (just found MFP last week and I had already started eating better and getting off my butt), I am officially down 25 pounds. I started at 205 and hit 180 on Saturday. At the lake this weekend, everyone commented on how much better I looked. The beer belly is gone, I am down to…

Multivitamins for Men
I am looking for a good multivitamin. My doc told me to take Stresstabs, but I am about to run out and looking for a possible replacement. This one has sooooooo much of everything, I can't believe they are worth much. For instance, it has 520% of my DV for Vitamin C, 500% of Niacin, 200% of B12........the list goes on. Can…

Sugar
One of the items I am tracking on food is the sugar. But I am getting hammered. And it is mainly due to fruits. I am already way over my alloted sugar. If I cut out a banana and an orange, I would be ok. But then I would have to supplement those snack with something not as healthy and surely not natural.

Define - Over Exercise
I have read in many post on here about not over exercising. So, what is the definition of over exercise?

My Calories Went Up
MFP changed the recommended calories by an increase of 110 calories. Did I hit a wrong button somewhere? All I have done is weigh in which showed a weight loss of 4.5 pounds. Why would my calorie needs go up????

Eating Out
I know you are not suppose to eat out and try and be successful at dieting at the same time, but I travel for work a ton, weekly as a matter of fact. How do you know what the heck you are eating. For instance, tonight it is raining here and I didn't feel like going out. So, I ate in the dining area here at the hotel. They…

Diary Ratios
MFP recomeded 1860 cals for me. But when I log food, at the bottom, it list the total calories and then carbs, fat, fiber..... What units are the carbs, fat, fiber, protein, sugar in? Because all of those numbers don't match up to the total calorie numbers.

Starvation Mode
So, before finding this site, I was just eating foods that I knew were super healthy and that did not require a ton of guesswork. I have been coming up way short on calories, in the 800-1200 range. My weight loss has slowed and I believe my body may have went into starvation mode. How long of eating the proper calories…

So I have hit a wall....
First post. I guess I will get to the details first. I am a 38 year old male. I am 5' 8" and 6 1/2 weeks ago, weighed 205. The doc said I was overweight (duh) my cholesterol was high, triglycerides high, blood pressure high........... So I decided to make some changes. I got rid of the sodas first. Most days I only had 1…
