question re BMR and exercise
Hi there. My BMR is said to be 1232 cal/day. So to lose weight i have to consume at least 500 cal a day less than that or exercise x-amount of calories off of that intake, right? but everyone says not to consume less than 1200 cal a day....?

What are your thoughts on this?
MFP works, don’t get me wrong, but if I don’t exercise every day then some days it is extremely hard to limit myself to the allotted calories, which is now 1200. I am so hungry at that level!! I have looked at some online calorie calculators and found that if I weighed 135 pounds and wanted to maintain that weight I should…

arms...
Shortly before I started with MFP I began to notice how big my arms had gotten and became very self conscious about them. Since I've dropped a bit of weight they have gone done, they are by no means the size I want them to be, but their tolerable in the meantime. I know I need to start working on them more…

What am I doing WRONG?
Before joining MFP, I lost 6lbs., I have since lost an additional 3lbs., so a total of 9lbs. This is great; however, I feel that i have reached a plateau. I recently went down to 1200 calories a day, and some days, I don't even reach this calorie max, because of the exercise that I do. I am eating well and exercising, but…

Help! I'm confused!
so, i just lost my first ten pounds and decided to re-structure my goals. After I put in all the information (I now weigh 130 pounds, my goal is 120) the calculator said I would only loose 0.3 pounds per week! Even when I added in exercise (7 days a week, an hour a day) the number didn't change! Does this mean I should…

Confused about calories...
I am 5'7 and weight 142 right now. I want to get back to my "normal weight" of 133. I am eating 1800 calories/day and walking on my treadmill for an hour each morning/5x a week (burning 300 calories each time). So I guess you could say that I am taking in 1500 calories/day. I am losing approx. 1 lb. per week. Once I get to…
