    Cris - This is one reason why I weigh myself once a week (same day, same time in the morning before eating breakfast). That's supposed to be a more accurate estimate of actual weight loss in comparison to weighing oneself once a day or even several times a day. It can take a while for the body to adjust to weight loss efforts (change in diet and exercise) and for you to see the results of actual weight loss. There are weight fluctuations every day that may look like weight loss, but aren't really.
  • Week 1 down, 1 lb lost.
  • I agree the calories burned seemed generous, but the number of calories allowed to be consumed seems stingy, so it must balance out.
    There is also a recipe section where we can post our own recipes (hint, hint, SB). I will probably put something in there when I do my weekly vegetarian meal.
  • Hi everyone,

    I just joined this site today and I like the extra exercise calories. MFP gave me 784 calories for my 5 mile run today while my Garmin only said I burned 705. That's 11% more food I can eat!!!

    Hi, Mjsmith!

    I let myself get too hungry and ate too much at dinner. Now I have to go back and correct my entry for today. At least it was good healthy stuff that I over-indulged in.
  • Hi all! It's time for me to get back to logging so things don't get out of hand over the holidays. MFP gives me about 1500 calories a day which is pretty close to what CalorieCount.com was giving me awhile back. It just means I need to board up the kitchen so I can't get in there and snack mindlessly.

    Since I spend more time in the trail running forum and the BF, just some really quick background for those of you I haven't "met" yet in L&O:

    - Lost 70 pounds over the last year and a half
    - Started running a little more than a year ago
    - Still running and building a base
    - Working on maintaining my weight and even losing a few more pounds so I don't have to carry it around while I run.

    Wow! You've come a long way! Congratulations! I've been over to the trail running forum a couple times. I had some favorite trails in Kansas that were hard to beat. But since I moved to Georgia, I've found some pretty good ones here, too. The funny thing is that I'm going back to Kansas in a couple weeks, and I'm looking forward to running my favorite trail again. Sure, I'm looking forward to seeing my friends again, but I can't wait to hit that trail, Wecome!

    Welcome! So far I really like this site. It seems to work really well for something that's free.

    Hey all. Thanks for inviting me to this fat-abulous group. I mostly lurk in L & O so a brief introduction. My name is Ena and I live up in Nanook's neck of the woods - Vancouver, BC. A couple of years ago I lost about 24 pounds but over the last year or so have put 9 back on, so I'd like to lose those and some more as well. I'm running lots of races in the winter/spring, so my exercise should be consistent, but for me it is the food that is the issue - I eat too damn much!

    You know, I don't know everyone. Maybe we should do an intro thread?

    Welcome, n00bs! :tongue: :happy:
  • Hi everyone. I just don't want to gain any weight over fat season, I mean, the holidays. I'd like to get rid of an inch or so in certain places too.
