Are my expectations unrealistic?
I recently began dieting and exercising (postpartum) with a goal to lose 40lbs. I have challenged myself to lose 1% of my body weight a week..I have been steadily maintaining that. I know I am capable at losing more than 1% (2lbs a week is recommended) but with my small frame I knew that would probably not happen. on my…

Food Addiction
I have known this for quite some time but finally admitted it to myself. I have a food addiction. I eat when I'm sad, when I'm happy, when I'm bored, when I feel nothing, to punish myself, to treat myself or just whenever I have a spare minute. Has anyone else realised they are addicted to food and if so, how did you…

First time bulk
I am starting a bulk to gain strength and size. Doing a 5x5 program, eating 1/2 pound surplus per week, with some cardio thrown in for good measure. I am basing my workouts off of this http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/wotw56.htm, Madcow's intermediate workout. I'm not looking to gain too much. Maybe 5 pounds or so. I…

It is unlikely that you will lose weight consistently (i.e., weight loss is not linear)
Here we are, in mid-February. A ton of MFPers started this year out on a new path, trying to become healthier and trying to lose weight. Great job! But now it's 6 or 7 weeks later and you are getting frustrated, maybe discouraged, because your weight loss has slowed down. It stinks, right? Who wants to restrict their…

Can't get into the right mindset. Help!
In the past I've used MFP to loose the lbs, and most importantly get fit and healthy too. Then life (lots of stress) got in the way and I ended up putting it all back on over a few years, then a bit more. weight loss has always been a mental thing for me, when I'm in the right mind set it's easy, I want to work out, and…

Eating more -> tiredness?
Hi folks. I'm trying to get back up to a healthy weight; ended up dropping lbs thru bad habits & being sick. I'm trying to make myself eat more when I can (but still stick with healthy foods - fruit, veg, &c). But I've noticed that on days when I actually do eat more, I'm way more tired than when I eat "normally" (to the…

I don't like writing on the forum b/c some people can be so mean, but I just need some input. I know, people have been over this 1000000 times. I used to just do cardio, 30 min daily and try to eat 1200 calories. I lost 30 lbs in 3 months. I got off track and gained it back. I joined the gym in March (still have a…

I'm losing my boobs. :(
I'm losing weight, which is fantastic, but along with everywhere else, I'm losing weight from my boobs and they weren't very big too begin with. I know there's nothing I can do about it but I could do with a bit of cheering up about it.

Of course I want some sesame chicken and fried rice. Stop asking.
So I'm biking yesterday. Pushing peddles like a champ. Looking forward to a bowl of homemade veggie stew and my phone rings. It's my partner who's got a hankering for Chinese. He's about to go for takeout and he wants to know if I want anything. ?! Dammit of course I do. I will take one of everything on the menu. Dear lord…
