So, here I am, saying hi, and hoping to make…

First Topic Post re: Daily Calories
So I have been doing this for about three weeks now and along with diet and excercise the weight is flying off. One thing I am having trouble with is this; I burn anywhere from 200-500 calories a day. This means that of my 1790 calories per day, i really look at 1990-2290. I always end up nearly 700 under that goal and…

Hey Guys :)
Hey, I'm new! But I might be here for a different reason than most of you - I'm trying to gain weight. The number of calories calculated for me to gain 1/2 a pound per week aren't the same as what an RD calculated (I have a crazy-fast metabolism), so this is mostly just to ensure I don't underestimate what I'm eating. If…

Do others view you differently then you view yourself?
Do you think that others view you differently then you view yourself? How do you view yourself? I am sure that others view me differently then I view myself.

Last summer, I was able to lose 20 lbs, but I've gained it back (and then some) over the winter. I'm hoping that with the right…
