When the scale lies
Last night my daughter made beef tips and rice. It is basically made out of salt, it looks like beef and gravy but it is essentially sodium on a plate. I ate a sensible portion. This morning I gained nearly 4 pounds. I decide to skip breakfast and do a slow fat burn workout. I forgot to drink any water. I figured this was…

BMR and Goal Calorie Target
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on this. My BMR tells me I need to be eating 1,400 calories a day, I've updated my goals on this but its still telling me I need to be eating 1,250 on this.

Late @ night or not at all??
Is it better to miss a meal or eat it just before bed?? I know both are terrible and this very rarely happens to me, but we were out late last night @ a football game. I had a snack of edamames at 3, we left around 5, kept my willpower & did NOT eat the junk food served at the game, got home around 10:15 and was starving.…

Minimize the damage.
Daily Inspiration for September 30, 2010 Minimize damage. Because you aren't perfect, there may be a time when you want to eat more than you need.

Daily Weigh-ins ? Yes or No
Q: I was wondering, what do you think about daily weigh-ins? Also what about using a simple moving average? The problem with daily readings are that they may fluctuate based on a number of factors. You never know which is an "up" reading and which is a "down" reading. But I was thinking that the same could be true with…

What's for Dinner, Mom?
Thought I would share how I plan dinners. This plan makes cooking for my family of 6 easy. I see this being an issue for lots of folks here having to cook 2 meals. That is a bunch of Bull stuff. If your family respects your time they will eat it. You have cooked their way and look at what it has gotten you. Nothing but a…

want to view other people's food diaries
Is there anyone out there who is on a 1200 calorie a day plan that allows their food diary to be viewed by everyone? I am just in need of new ideas. I find it very hard to eat only 1200 calories a day and have any wiggle room. Well I do have 1/2 glass of wine a day - so that is a bit of a wiggle. But when people say - go…

sorry if this is a stupid question...about caloric intake
Ok, when I started MFP, I put my starting weight as 150 and they gave me a calorie allowance of 1320/day. Pretty sure that was the exact number. Since then I've lost 3 lbs. and now my calorie allowance says 1300/day. But now it's saying it was even for those earlier days and now I'm confused. Was it always 1300 and I just…

How often do you have your body composition tested?
I'm curious to know how many people have their body compositions tested regularly as they lose weight to track how much of that loss is actually fat. I'm lucky to have someone who does that for me as often as I want, so I took advantage of that and had mine tested pretty frequently (every six weeks or so) while I was…
