    I had clicked this post and left the window open for a time when I had enough concentration to actually read it - which happens to be now! And it looks like you are now sorely in need of a B-U-M-P!!! :tongue:

    Bump. I'm not quite sure what a bunp is, but I think you deserve it :flowerforyou:

    Thanks for the heads up on the Mayo Clinic article; I swim, weight lift and run doing one or two of these activities each day (and 12 hrs a day in front of a PC :frown: ) and I am often HUNGRY eating those sweet-but high calorie-low energy foods...and the old coffee routine just doesn't keep my energy up...Thanks for helping me get back on track.

    Welcome Thomas! by the way, "bump"ing a post is just a way to send it back to the top so more people can read it. It's usually used if you don't have anything to add, but want to make sure people can still read it. :drinker:

    This is a really good post. I know that I had complained in another Banks post that I don't like the way MFP pushes you to eat ALL of your exercise calories every day. But that is because I have customized my goals away from the 1000 calorie deficit toward one of 470 and shrinking as I lose lbs. When I set the deficit at 1000, I wanted to go over - when it was 250, I had to go under. But now Goldilocks has set it just right.

    Final word:

    For me the primary weight loss mechanism of this site is to distract me from eating! I post more often than I eat!
