Question about Calorie Deficit system
Hello, I've been a member here for about a month but I think this is my first post. I'm confused about something. I've noticed that when I add in my foods it calculates my calories but when I add excercise to the same day it allows me to eat more calories. Should I be aiming to eat the new adjusted calorie rate or stay…

Alpha and " Omega"
I'm not sure how the Alpha ties into this (other than this being the beginning of a new healthy me) but my question is really about Omegas. :) Years, and years, ago I used to work for Weight Loss Forever. At the time all of our clients were given some herbal tablets for weight loss and a dual package of Omega 3 and Omega 6…

Pizza
Besides Mountain Dew and sweets in general, pepperoni pizza is far and away my favorite food. The calorie count is bad but lower than I actually expected. Since starting MFP two weeks ago I have had one piece of pizza one time for lunch and then fell off the wagon one night and ate half of a Tombstone pizza at 11p. Besides…

Don't Fit the Mold
I know many people here use the goal set by MFP. I always thought it was way too high. It may work for some, but I don't fit the mold. I did a month long experiment. During my 7 day work week I sleep all day for 8 hours, commute 3 hours, and work a 9.5 hour shift. The remainder is spent bathing, on the computer or eating.…

This thing MIGHT actually work!
I'm 9 pounds down in 3 weeks just by counting the calories (2500 calories to lose a pound a week, so I don't feel like I'm denying myself yet) and doing Wii Active 5 times a week. I do get the feeling that the initial weight loss was my body's way to resetting, so I only expect to see a pound or two from now on. I think…

Non-digital scale?
I bought a cheap non digital scale the other day, and I've been weighing myself after every workout. Well, I did my workout this morning, and according to the scale I've lost 4 lbs in the last day. Does that seem right? It doesn't seem right to me. Should I go out and buy a fancy digital scale? Would that be more accurate?…

Very low calorie diets - do they work?
I am counting calories and exercising (1200 calories a day and 30 minutes of exercise) - it's only day 3 and motivation is still high right now:wink: . However a colleague of mine is doing a VLC meal replacement diet and the weight is just melting away. Has anyone done one of these diets? I can't get my head round how a…

How often do you update your weight loss?
Ok we all know some people weigh themselves everyday and some weigh themselves once a week. I have taken a peak at the scale this week and it is down 2 pounds but I was only going to log my weight loss once a week. For those of you that weigh everyday do you log your weight loss every time the scale goes down or do you log…

Android App
Anyone using the Android App for MFP? I cant figure out how to "complete" daily food entries.....I can do everything else but at the end of the day I still have to go to my PC and click "complete entry". Oh wait, I can't track how much water I am drinking either. Which sucks because I've become spoiled to updating on the…

How many lbs had you lost before you officially dropped a pa
Hi All, I know it's a silly question since weight loss varies from one person to the next, but I am just taking a general poll here. How many pounds had you lost before you officially dropped a pant size? I can't wait for that day!!!

I LOVE yoga, but.........
Am i the only one that giggles at the names of the poses during class? I mean, the pose where you are laying on your back and you put your feet on the floor behind your head is called the Plough! Which ironically looks like exactly what is fixing to happen to ya! How do you not laugh at that? I don't know why i always "go…

Body Frame
Hi everyone, It's not really a "problem" as such because I'm not too worried about it...more intrigued. I saw a post earlier in regards to the inaccuracies of BMI/doctors charts etc (don't we all know it!) and someone helpfully posted this amazing website that helps you work out all sorts of things, including your body…

I'm just not feeling it today
I need some support. I feel down and like this isn't going to work. I know so many of you have lost weight but I'm worried I'm too lazy to try and compute all the different things for the day like calories, sugar, fat etc. I keep going over all of my numbers, not by a lot but still going over. I just feel like giving up…

can you exercise too much??
Im doing P90X right now and i've found in the past it is so easy for me to fall of the wagon. I do well on a schedule. Anytime in the past if i let myself have a cheat meal, it turns into a cheat couple days and weeks and before i know it im starting all over. The same with my exercise, one day off turns into a few days…

Goal clothing
So... I have a question. Do you think it's healthy/helpful to go out and buy yourself an item of clothing that you hope to someday fit into but wouldn't dream of trying it on now... or do you think it's setting yourself up for failure because you look at that item and realize how far away from your goal you are? I ask…

Warning: Poop-related question
Figured I should give the head's up so that no one has to see a gross question unless they want to contribute. Yesterday, I freaked myself out for a second because when I pooped, I saw yellow chunks in the toilet. After I'd already flushed & thought about it, I figure it was partially digested kernels of corn. However, the…

Back on Board...
Well, you'd think the summer would be the ideal time to get your butt into gear, but I did just the opposite and haven't done anything productive in the weight-loss department since June! My summer hours played a big part in that, but it's still no excuse to not do *anything* for over two months! But...that's neither here…
