Bumpity bump

Banks, thanks for the great info. I'm also a newbie and had no idea what bumping you meant so I learned that too. :laugh:

Thanks for the great explaination... it's good to know how the tools work.. !!! Stay Blessed!!

Well said, Bravo!! :drinker:

Thanks for the info - not sure what the exact formula is for me but will do some experimenting as to how much and what type of calories are needed.

Thanks for posting Banks! It's funny...just the other day I was talking to my mom about this and we both weren't sure why. Now I can explain to her. Thanks again!:happy:

lol, your avatar is awesome!

You guys are most welcome.

FYI, I'm Banks, I had to add a new username for various reasons that you probably wouldn't care about.

Lol...thanx! :bigsmile: That's one of my dogs...she was dressed up for Halloween!

:flowerforyou: thank you that helped clarify the whole thing for me. A personal trainer told me to try this website, I have been on about a week now and I love it. THX

OK, so newbie with a question....I find that I am having a hard time eating all of my calories in a day (set at 1,400) but I also dont excercise nearly as much as I should...

so... 1. when I do excercise should I still eat my cals??

and....2. I am a carb freak! If I am eating within my cals and carbs but slightly over on my protiens am I still in a good weightloss range??

I am confused because of the NO CARB diets that limit this to next to nothing and am finding MFP to be MUCH too easy compared to all of the other diets I have tried over the last 10 yrs!!!

Thanks!
You guys are great!

Couple of things to know, MFP isn't a diet, it's a lifestyle. As such, it shouldn't be difficult, or not overly difficult anyway. MFP sets protein pretty low IMHO, you should be fine going slightly over your protein. What confuses you about no carbs? Some people can do no carb diets without a problem, and some can't, it's a difficult path to follow for many, and you need to be extremely dilligent in your other nutritional intake if you go this route, but if it's done right, it can be a safe and effective strategy; although most long term studies confirm it's neither better nor worse for most people then other caloric restriction plus RDA recommended nutritional diets. It's basically a lifestyle choice you need to choose to make and then stick too.
