The importance of water.
Lately, I've been incredibly focused on what I eat and how much I exercise, etc. But I got an email from a co-worker today regarding water consumption, and it had some REALLY interesting tid-bits in it. I'm not 100% sure if the "facts" in the email have been substantiated, but I thought I would share it with everyone…

Does shopping burn calories?
Hi, 1st post so please be gentle with me. I'm going on a shopping spree at the weekend and I was wondering if I should log it as an excercise? From the information that I can find, it would seem that half the time you are shopping you are walking at a slow pace. So 3 hours shopping would be 90 minutes walking at 2mph = 400…

Carbs in food diary...
Hello Everyone, For years I have heard about people watching their carbs. My question is MFP limits me to 219 a day. If I use these up daily, is that a bad thing? Should I also watch my carbs and stay away from things like white bread and use whole wheat instead? One reason I am asking is I had some Spaghetti O's for lunch…

BMR?
Ok this is going to be a stupid question. I have a BMR of 1,253 and that's how much calories my body needs, correct? So am I suppose to eat 1253 calories a day instead of 1200. Because if I eat under 1253, that will be bad for my body and I can't lose weight effectively, right? Or does it not make any difference?

How do or did you know you're done?
this may seem like a silly question to some. But how will you know when you're done losing weight? Other than going off the unhealthy end of your bmi, how do you know you wouldn't look better a pound or five lighter than the weight you set as your goal? As I fluctuate around my goal weight I'm not sure if I should aim…

Hate to ask this, but ...
Here's the deal. I've lost around 60 pounds (from 58 to 62 on any given day) by working out and eating right. For the past three months, I've been stuck, never going below 218 pounds. I began this journey at 280. I have done all the textbook plateau breakers - eat more, eat less, exercise more, exercise less, take a break…

unintentionally eating under my calorie goal...
I've only just started this program but I've been noticing that I constantly eat under the goal that was set for me which is 1200 calories. I haven't changed the amount of food I normally eat but sometimes it's a significant difference (for example sometimes I only eat 700 calories! :frown: ). Is it dangerous for me to be…
