Stupid Subway!
ARrrrrrhhghghghhh!!! ALL day I had been planning to get Subway for dinner, and I haven't had it in awhile, so I was pretty excited. Well I wasn't watching her make it after I asked for "just a little bit of yellow mustard" and when I sit down to eat it(on the other side of campus from Subway), I open my sub and it's…

Is anyone struggling to stick to the recommended calorie int
Hi, maybe it just me - but I am struggling a bit to keep within the calorie limit to loose weight - somedays I consume well under the 1700 calories I am meant to and other days I am hitting close to 1900-2000. I have been using MFP for about a week and a half - but I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem and…

Calories
I am a little confused.....MFP is telling me that my daily calories should be around 1620 but a few different sites I visited said I should be consuming around 1480-1540. I also don't understand why I get extra calories when I enter my exercise, which usually puts my calories at 1850 or more depending on how much I burn…

Any advice ...
I am a 26 year old who has been in surgical menopause for almost 2 years now. When I think of how this affects me, I think of when a cat or dog gets fixed...they get fat. Before I became menopausal, I had no problem shedding the pounds. Now, is a very different story. It seems like I have been dieting for the last 2 years…

Need help as usual!!
We are going to a local mexican restuarant for dinner so I have no way of knowing the nutritional content of anything. Should I just use the database as a guide or guesstimate?? It said a shredded steak and cheese chimichanga would be around 350 cals...does that sound close to anyone??? I have about 750 cals left in my…

Food Diary Question
Confused about food diary. It records that I've had all my carbs, fats, proteins for the day but then says I have 500-600 calories left. However, I've noticed every food you eat (veggies included) add carbs, proteins and sometimes fat. Can anyone explain how this works? What do you eat for those extra calories or do you…

1200 calories
Where did the 1200 number come from? What is the reasoning behind dont go below 1200? How long of below 1200 calories before your body goes into starvation mode? Is it immediately -a few weeks - a few months etc?

What is considered a day?
Probably the simplest (and easiest) question. MFP seems to reset at midnight every day, but what is actually considered a day in terms of your food/exercise diary? I always assumed it was the start of a new day when you woke up, regardless of whether you stayed awake until 2 AM or whatnot, but I'm not 100% sure. I ask…

Help with HRM?
Hey folks! Thanks in advance for any help with my problem. I have just purchased an Omron HR-100C, and it is not equipped with a 'calories burned' feature... I'm thinking after some research that it's a good thing, as the formula most use is inaccurate and on the high side, which is the problem I have with online calories…

irregularity and weight loss
I've had a problem with constipation the last 6-7 years, and have suspected that regularity would help me lose my weight. I used to go once a week if I was lucky - and I could drop 2-5 lbs in those few minutes! Well, I had my gallbladder removed and now my liver is dumping enough bile salts to make me regular! (It took…

Am I losing TOO MUCH weight?

Frustrated
Normally when I diet, I lose weight very quickly. So far, two weeks in, I lost a pound, then put it back on, along with another pound :S What gives? I'm doing what I normally do, sticking to my calories, making sure I exercise every day. The only thing I've done differently was that I didn't exercise on Monday && Tuesday…

Confused about clothing sizes.
When I measure myself, right at my navel I am 34" around. When I purchase jeans however that sit on my hips (they are very lowrise!) they are only 28's.I checked with my clothing company and supposedly the numerical number on the jeans are indeed in inches. My hips are wider than where I measure myself. So, what's the…

Guesstimating!
I play pool for a local team here in the UK, and they put on a lot of good (read calorie-laden) food for the teams. I am always very tempted - who isn't - by this kind of thing. I keep resisting though because even though I know I have a lot of calories left every day, I am totally unsure how much is in each piece of…

Weight Loss Aids
Haas anyone tried using green tea and colonease tablets to assist them in losing weight? I read one story that it worked but wondered if anyone else had views on it? Colonease isn't like a laxative which can be dangerous and rot your stomach lining but just gently cleans it out overnight!:tongue:
