Concerned about this weekend.
Originally I was going to make a long and complicated post, but for everyone's sake I won't. If you have any questions about details I'll be happy to answer them. Basically, I've run out of a lot of my foods (In part due to sharing with my fiance but still.). The foods that I have left to work with, are either going to put…

Question regarding sit ups and push ups.
Heya! So, my primary focus at the moment is mainly my diet. It's important for me personally to get that under control for a while before I incorporate daily exercise. I'm still getting in the occasional walks though. My question is regarding my two favorite exercises to do indoors: sit ups and push ups. Just now I did 25…

What's that website?
Hey sorry if this is the wrong spot. Dunno where to post this question. Anybody know/recall that website that allows you to pick an age and a weight and height (I think) and see uploaded photographs of people within those specifications? Just curious. Would be fun to browse again.

Am I the enemy, or is the scale? :P
Just a quick question, not really an incredible discussion. I'm just curious. (My diary SHOULD be public but if it's not I'll make it so.) I've been switching to much healthier choices than I was previously giving myself, sticking to a 1200 calorie regimen (apart from last night), but... After weighing myself this morning…

Help! Circumventing sodium until Grocery Day?
Salutations all. I've been on my journey on and off extensively for a long time. I fell off the wagon but I'm hopping back on. No use crying over spilt milk, so to speak. But I can't go grocery shopping until at least Monday, probably even Thursday due to so many appointments/plans/business. The problem is all I have in my…

An Interesting Observation About Walking
Okay, so now that I've been going at this for two months, I'm beginning to be able to tell exactly what pace I'm walking it, judging by distance and exertion as well. This is extremely nice, but a while ago I noticed something strange. One day I was walking at a fairly moderate pace, with intent to exercise fully. The…

What's your budget?
...and I'm not talking about calories. :P I was looking at a food picture thread and it really made me curious. I mean, I know there is a lot of diversity here, and it would seem in today's society your wealth equates to your food's health factors. So, what's your monthly food budget? How do you shop so that you can eat…

3 Weeks = Progress? Yes way! (Pictures)
My first three weeks here have solidified my addiction to a new lifestyle. I am not so much bragging as I am making a statement that you are ALL miracle workers, simply by existing and supporting others as you do. I was completely addicted to food, tv, and computers. NOW I'm addicted to MFP, EXERCISE, and HEALTHY EATING. I…

SERIOUSLY Confused about calorie burning.
I apologize if this doesn't go here but I was not entirely sure. Thanks for listening. Does your body only burn calories while moving? If you are performing an INTENSE exercise (meaning your heart is pumping and your breathing is super heavy), but you're stopping and starting occasionally, am I wrong to assume you're…

My first big NSV!
Today I went to the mall to check my weight again. I'm sitting at 180.8 lbs! I was 181.12 about 5 days ago! I'm pleased, but then, after I took my daughter to the mall playground for a bit, I went into Ross. I picked out two pairs of size 14 jeans, tried them on, and THEY FIT! Comfortably! Eeee! I've been in 16s prior, so…

My motivation slipped and fell. (Literally & Figuratively)
I have become slightly saddened, and I've learned that I am an emotional eater. Yesterday while out with family I fell at the beach and did something bad enough to my foot that I now cannot walk and am using crutches. I don't know how long I'll be like this and I have my daughter to take care of, so this puts a damper on…

Questions regarding effectivity and logging.
First of all thank you. Now, what I would like to know is if I do something like jump roping let's say, but jump vigorously for 10 seconds, rest for 10, or 20seconds each, or whatever, how should I log that? As the full time, only the time spent jumping, or does the stopping negate burn majorly? What about for sit ups,…

Quick advice needed before tomorrow! Thank you!
So my progress has been stupendous, and I'm feeling greater than I have in a long time! Tomorrow I might be getting a missed and cherished favorite food, cereal with milk (mmm milk!). My plan was to have (in the middle of the day or afternoon) a large bowl of Life cereal, as a treat to myself. Now when I say large I mean…

Salutations! I could use to give/take some support. :P
Hiya there! I am a 22 year old girl and mommy to a 3 year old girl. Growing up I was always chubby but at 17 I dropped and stayed at 126 lbs. I was 5'4" at the time. After pregnancy, childbirth, and food addiction afterwards, I am 187 lbs now. I am 5'5". My goal is 130 lbs again, back to my size 10/12 jeans. I cannot…
