    Thanks banks- I do like to lose 3 pounds a week. I realize as I get closer to my goal weight I'll need to eat back more of my exercise calories. I think since I have alot to lose 3 pounds a week is safe. Thanks for the info- Cindy :heart:

    Tywana, our food database is wiki style. So anyone can enter food numbers, which is great except if the person does it wrong, of forgets a number, it's still logged. Go in and change it if it's wrong. We need to keep our food database policed and up to date.

    Yes! Definitely worth a few reads to properly sink in!

    GAINED 2 lbs. this week instead of losing....... blah. :grumble:

    As I get more flexible & energized, I want to work out MORE!

    But EAT MORE too??? That doesn't sit right in my head. :noway:

    As an added bonus, I finally get what 'bump' means! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Watch out or Banks will give you his 'special' bump.

    I have had it and it aint pretty, right Banksy??:wink:

    BUMP BUMP BUMP!!!

    Wow, this is very good stuff to know, and makes so much sense. I get this!!! Before when I dieted I was doing really well then I took it too far and was not eating hardly anything and quit losing and eventually gave up. I know now why I can have pizza once in a while and lose but eating salad everyday I don't lose an ounce...!!! I am printing this out and hanging it on my cubicle wall to see everyday to remind myself to eat!

    I think I have some great tools thanks to MFP to succeed this time!!!

    This makes total sense now and explains why I have been struggling the last month or so. Thanks.
