Question for the guys...
My husband just started MFP this week. His cals are set to 1,930/day, not counting exercise. Well, we just bicycled today and his HRM read that he burned 1,300 cals! So after entering breakfast, lunch, and a protein shake he has around 2,300 cals still to eat!!! My question is, how important is it that he eat all these????…

Question for those maintaining...
I reached my goal weight a month ago and am now in maintaining mode. I went from 1310 cals to 1710 cals. I feel like I'm eating just for the sake of eating, just so that I get my cals in. I work out everyday also, and I eat most of my exercise cals too. I just feel like it's bad to keep eating so that I don't go under my…

The Husband is Losing!!!
Just sharing this hurtle I've gotten over....since starting MFP I've seen great results, and of course they've rubbed off on my husband as well.

Honey?
I want to start incorporating honey in my eating, as I've heard some benefits. Does anyone know anything about this? Any recipes? Any negative things about honey? Is it good to have a little honey, like 1 TBL, per day? Just curious. Thanks in advance!:happy: Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Food Diary

Sugar-Free Coffeemate?

Tuna 'n Noodle Casserole?
This is probably a very simple question, but I obviously don't know the answer to it. I'm making tuna 'n noodle casserole tomorrow night for dinner. Usually I just make it on the stovetop, but I want to actually bake it in the oven this time. Do I need to first boil/prepare the noodles and then put it all in the oven?? If…

Over on carbs?
It seems like I'm always over by 20 - 50 carbs per day. Mainly because I eat oatmeal and an apple for breakfast and if I eat bread it's always 100% whole wheat, which seems to load on the carbs. Also, my Lean Cuisine meals have 40-50 carbs. Should I be concerned? Or no, since these carbs (from what I can tell) are the…

Gained!
I just stepped on the scale - early AM no breakfast yet, just 2 cups of coffee - and learned that I've gained 5.5 lbs since I weighed last week! Could this be right???? It's the same scale as I always use and it's been 2 weeks post time of month! I'm wondering if my Saturday beer drinking/crummy food eating has caught up…

New Smaller Clothes$$$
Ok, so I know that losing weight is extremely exciting, but now I'm to the point where I simply MUST get smaller sized slacks for work and jeans for evenings and weekends! I've gone as long as I can sinching my waist with a belt and even having them all taken in at the tailers. Money is tight right now and my husband…

Thanksgiving Day at Work!
My work had their mini Thanksgiving today and I'm completely stuffed!!!! I feel SO guilty. I tried being as good as I could, but couldn't give into temptation of the desserts. The good thing is, I got tiny slivers of each. Instead of gorging like the "old" me would have. I have a feeling that this entire holiday season is…

Didn't give in
I'm going on 3 weeks of not being tempted by Sonic Blasts, Sheridan's Custard (namely the Wedding Cake Concrete), or Krispy Kreme donuts!!!! I know it sounds like a small hurdle, but it's rather huge for me!! I'm a sweet freak!!!!!
