Hiatus from MFP
Hey all! I am going to take a break from MFP because I have so much going on in my life that this is just stressing me out more! And the more I stress about dieting, the more I want to eat to relieve that stress... etc. I need to work on some of the issues underlying my emotional need for food, and I would like to take the…

Is it supposed to be this hard?
So I got on the scale today after a week of being SO GOOD and I was up 1 kg!!!!! :noway: UGHHHHH!!!!! My only problem is that maybe I don't eat enough but I mean that won't make you GAIN weight.

Women and Weights
Hey all, I had a question about doing strength training. I am doing weights 4x a week on all the different muscle groups (not all on the same day obviously).

yogurt + oatmeal = SO GOOD
Ok so by accident I stumbled across my new favorite snack/breakfast item. I was making meals for the next day and I mixed some oatmeal with yogurt and left it in the fridge overnight. When I went to eat it the next day I discovered that the oatmeal absorbs all the liquid from the yogurt, making the oatmeal soft and leaving…

Hi!
I found this site about a week ago and decided to join so that I could finally get down to my ideal weight. I have always always stressed about my weight and had a minor eating disorder when I was in my early teens. The subject of food is always on my mind: how much I've eaten, how to count my calories when out, how many…
