Does anyone stay under their sugar goal?
Myfitnesspal.com has my food tracker for 29 grams of sugar per day. I have yet to be able to do this. Most of the time it is because of breakfast and choosing to have a fruit with it. Today I didn't think I did anything badly and I still went 31 grams OVER. BOO! That is the best I have done all week though :) I stay under…

Who is trying to or has lost over 100 pounds?
Anyone? I have AMAZING MFP friends. Just looking for some more that have some similar goals as me. In high school I was 130 pounds (I am 5'4"). Even then I have always been curvy. I steadily gained weight after high school. By 21 I was up to 170. I didn't look bad per say. I held my weight fairly well which is why it was…

Salad dressings...
I am currently doing a raw detox (one week of only fruit and veggies and of course water). After the detox is done you keep the same diet but slowly introduce protein and grains. I am having some serious issues with no dressing for my salads. I can eat veggies plain, but need dressing for the salad. I am trying to stay…

How do you log....
I made a whole chicken and when I separated everything (meaning took everything off the bones) and put it in a container I didn't separate anything...I just put it all in the container...lol. I made the chicken by putting just a little seasoning on it and took the skln off. I can't find a way to log it?? I have a scale so…

For those facing financial strain...how do you eat healthy?
Just curious for those who have a very very very tight financial situation (surely I can't be alone) what you do to still eat healthy? I drink water and a glass of tea a day, so obviously I don't spend money on juice, pop, or things of that nature...I make the tea myself. I am just looking for alternate ways to save money…

Please help me with this...dry pasta vs cooked pasta serving
I recently bought - Naturally Preferred - Organic Rotini. The serving size is 2oz (3/4 cup DRY!) I can't find what that equals to in COOKED. Can someone please please tell me what one COOKED serving would be?? I thought a cup, but that seems like a lot of calories (over 200) for a cup of pasta with no salt, butter, or oil.…

Raw Dairy?
Has anyone had raw dairy? Specifically cheese? I looked it up in the database and didn't see any listings, so I kinda felt it may not be popular. I recently completed a 7 day detox (natural by using raw fruits and veggies) and I am really trying to change my whole lifestyle eating wise. I have a friend who is a HUGE…

Rewards?
Do you reward yourself when you meet goals? What kinda of rewards to you give yourself? I have 5 mini goals and one ultimate goal. I would like to do small rewards that are inexpensive just to give myself a little push, but don't really know what to do. I received a gift certificate for a mani/pedi so I am sure I will use…

Question for people trying to lose 75 pounds or more...
When did people start to notice your weight loss? Around how many pounds? I have only lost almost 20 pounds and I can't tell a bit of difference. My measurments are smaller, but I don't feel the least bit smaller and no one else has noticed at all either. I take pics every few days and can't notice it in the pics either.…

Need a little support....
Yesterday was my 9th day of my healthy eating and I fell off....meaning I binged really badly. I am so mad at myself and so upset. I feel awful (as in sick) this morning. This is exactly where I gave up last time. NINE DAYS?? That is barely any time at all. I want to lose this weight....I really really do. I hate being…

Can you drink too much?
Can you drink too MUCH water? I drank 3 liters today so about 12 cups and will probably have more before I go to bed. It is all I have drank and I can't really find anything short of "make sure you have at least 6 cups a day". Just curious. Thanks :)

Cramps
I noticed the last two days I am having very bad leg cramps and back cramps were added to the mix yesterday. The leg cramps are just while working out and the back cramps are just while stretching (I kind of thought that stretching in part was to eliminate cramping.) I drink 12+ cups of water a day. Keep my sodium under…

Does anyone count daily walking for exercise?
Does anyone track their steps through the day and mark them as exercise? I bought a tracker thing just to see what my normal day was and I am trying to build on that and walk a lot more, like parking farther away etc. Well it tracks steps, how much time you are actually walking and calories. Can this be counted as…

How do your kids eat?
I know a lot of you have children, so I am curious what you feed them? Do you only allow them to eat what you eat or do you still allow them some junk food? I really am going to try and keep nothing but healthy in the house, because obviously it won't hurt my children to eat healthy and they will get treats at parties and…
