Any scientific reason for "splurges" HELPING diet?
I know that some people seem to "think" that having a big cheat day re-energizes their diet. Is there any scientific evidence behind this? Any proof? I will take cheat days now and again and was just curious why they don't seem to hurt me. This weekend was a cheat weekend. Pizza and Salad Friday night. "continental…

Exercising When Sick
So last Tuesday I got strep throat. Then this past weekend I got the flu. I haven't been to the gym in a week today so I feel gross. I was just wondering if anyone knew if it is bad to go to the gym when you have been sick? I am feeling much better today, but I don't want to make anything worse.

What am I doing wrong
I am eating the proper amount of calories. The base is 1200 then I add whatever I burn while exercising. I exercise 5-7 days per week for 1/2 to 1 hour. The scale moved 1 pound since 3/09/08. I have only lost 1.5 inches on waist, 1 in on hips, nothing on arms and 1.5 on thighs. I should be noticing a difference but I am…

That was brutal!
I tried going to one of those Mom's Movies at a local theater....they start at 10 am and the lights are dimmed instead of off and they have changing tables, etc. It's very cool.....so, I took my 17 1/2 month old. NOT A GOOD IDEA!! He is all about exploring and climbing and being independent. All he wanted to do was climb…

Eating less than BMR!?!?!
So, when I joined, I rated myself as "lightly active" and set a goal of losing 1 lb a week (MFP gave me a goal of 1800 cal a day). However, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I really am not that active some days. So I decided to play around with my goals and see what it told me. "sedentary" and a goal…

Remembering my rewards
I just realized that I have been so focused on the emotional rewards I have gained lately from all this weight loss that I have TOTALLY forgotten what my big rewards were. :laugh: I had said that I would get my belly button re-pierced if I could get down to 160 or so before my trip this summer. Anyone else need a big…
