Help me understand something please
I know the rule not to go under 1200 calories. That is what my daily allowance is and if I add exercise I am usually under my calories so basically I am going under. Should I make up every last calorie or is it ok because I am still technically eating my calories just burning some? If that makes sense..lol. ETA: Here is…

Question about calorie deficit
So...I bought myself an HRM this weekend. I decided that I would wear it 24/7 at least for this first week just so I can get an idea of what my daily burn is. I wear it while I'm sleeping, eating, working out, etc. I work out for about an hour each night. Every day I've been burning between 3500 and 3700 calories from…

Question about HCG
Okay so I understand its a hormone and whatnot. But why do you have to do 500 calories a day? Can't you eat like normal and still use the hormone and have it work? ((I'm not looking into doing the HCG at all, I personally think it's silly.. I'm just curious why the calorie limit is so low))

America is getting Fatter
So the CDC says: http://www.businessweek.com/news/2010-08-03/obesity-tops-30-in-nine-states-triple-2007-total.html Now, before we blow up the messenger. I understand they used BMI, and other unscientific ways to determine this. However, I have a hard time arguing that this report is not true. Unless you live in CO, and…

Which is more important: calories, fat, protein or carbs?
So I've been reading a lot of food labels lately, trying to pick out the healthiest option. On some foods, one will be regular and then there is a fat free, or reduced fat, low sodium, etc. option. Sometimes the calories are the same, one will have few carbs, but more fat than the other, and so I'm getting confused. Is…

I'm losing motivation...
I started exercising a few weeks ago. I've been keeping track of weight and inches lost. So far, unless I'm measuring wrong, I have lost no inches and done nothing but gain more weight. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I'm starting to feel like I should give up. Although I do have more energy but other then that nothing…

Pickin' Off My Child's Plate
I have two wonderful boys, ages 5 and 9. And, although I try to feed them heathfully, let's face it. Sometimes it's easier to make them grill cheese sandwiches or pick up fast food (on rare occasions). I guess I need to quit doing this altogether because I can't seem to keep my hands off their unwanted foot. Or (equally…

Stop the snacking - Please!
I have been very happy with my progress on MFP but lately have been having a problem with snacking. I am a SAHM (wow, first time I put that down in print! :laugh: ) But that is what i am, so that means I am home and around food A LOT. In fact a major part of my job is keeping the pantry stocked and mouth fed! We have all…

Guessing what I'm going to say isn't new
Ok..so I've been dieting and exercising for about 2 weeks, but only started logging it here for one week. My calorie intake recommended seems a bit high (1710), but I'm going with it. I've gone from 199lbs to 200.2. I know it could be muscle weight, but so soon? I usually run 3x a week, and do cardio on the other 2 days.…

I eat all 1200(sometimes more) calories of my daily intake,
I eat all 1200(sometimes more) calories of my daily intake, but after exercise I have calories left... Yesterday for example, I ate 1229 calories, but exercised off 398, leaving 369 remaining. Am I supposed to leave those unused calories? Another problem is I find myself forcing myself to eat all 1200 calories, I'm just…

Going Out

Weight loss frustration
I recently joined my fitness pal to keep track of my calories. I needed to step up my efforts to lose weight. The last couple weeks I have been working out hard core and watching my calories like a hawk. I decided today/Monday would be the day to weigh myself and see if I had lost a couple of pounds. To my dismay I had not…

Favorite Weight Loss Tool or Trick
I have discovered the wonders of a divided plate. I got them years ago to use with my kids. They are regular plate size with 3 sections. My weggies go in the big section and meat, carbs, fruit or dairy in the two smaller sections. Helps with portion control. The compartments makes my 1/2 cup cottage cheese lor sliced…
