Always hungry
I always eat close to my goal of 1,220 calories, but I always end up still being hungry. Does anyone know why? I always thought if you were eating healthy things, you could eat enough so that you weren't hungry. I've only been dieting for a week and a half. Could it be that I just need to get used to it?

Low BMR, but MFP recommends 1200 minimum?
My mom is new to MFP and has a question so I am helping out and posting this for her: She is 5’ 2", weighs 122. Her goal is 110. When we entered her info at Christmas, MPF suggested the usual minimum of 1200. But she finds that to be way too much food even when she exercises, unless she "pigs out on sweets" (her term…

Tips for weight loss from Weight Watchers
This was interesting...some of it is common sense but other tips...like the soup one below, were interesting. The surest way to succeed is making small changes. Think in terms of manageable baby steps, like swapping the half-and-half in your morning coffee for fat-free or low-fat milk. There are lots of little changes you…

I was wondering.
We haven't gone grocery shopping since i've gotten over my stomach flu, so we had frozen pizza last night. I was still under my calorie goal. so would that be allowed? Going grocery shopping tonight, but I was just wondering if you could eat junk sometimes as long as you're still under your goal?

how far is too much under my calorie goal?
Since I've been doing South Beach I've been at least 400 calories under my goal every day. The days I work it I'm usually over 700 calories over. However, I'm not feeling hungry at all, and I've been way way over my protein every day. My question is: how low is too low?

Exercise offset for sodium intake
I have been tracking my sodium intake with this site and can see I will never make the limit. Since you lose electrolytes when you sweat,shouldn't there be a sodium offset for exercise.

Quick question!
Let's say you eat 180 calories under one day and 180 calories over the next day, does this balance out? Yesterday I ate only 1400 calories but today 1750, my goal is 1580!

Eating Back Exercise Calories
Okay, so I think the lightbulb FINALLY came on. Shut it off if it's completely out of order. Say I eat 1200 calories a day. Now, let's say in a day I workout & burn off another 1,000. If I don't eat back those 1,000 calories, does that mean I only ate 200 calories that day? 1200 - 1000 = 200. If that's true, then I now…
