    Congratulations!
    One of the best "no b.s." commentaries I've read on this site to date. Most excellent!

    im curious about my BMR, it seems so high. Ive always been told to consume around 1200 cals, but my BMR is around 1800...I am worried about consuming more calories. It seems crazy to eat so many more calories.

    You shouldn't eat (or net) under your BMR. If you are eating under it, chances are at some point you will either stall, seriously slow your weight loss, have no energy, be hungry all the time...or any combination of those.

    I am not even sure what BMR is. I just log on everyday and the site tells me how many caloeires I can eat. I change my GOALS every week after I weigh myself. Then it gives me a new calorie amount.

    Its very worrysome to increase my caloric intake by so much. I have started to increase my calories a little at a time and, of course, I am trying to make sure that those calories come frome healthy eating and not junk. Does this help iliminate the "plateau"?

    I don't know about plateaus. I log EVRYTHING I eat. TRUTHFULLY. If anything, I cheat myself out of calories.

    Go to home page and click GOALS. Then ask it for GUIDED. It walks you through it.

    Hear hear!

    That's what I found out when I started using this site, you don't HAVE to give up the goodies, just eat less of them , get some exercise in and make sure you count every calorie....... it's working for me, just take a look at my ticker!

    I honestly think if I'd had to stick to salad and veg for the rest of my life I would not have got as far as I've come, and I certainly make better choices now..... OK, some will mock and say I shouldn't have got as big as I did in the first place..... but I did.... and now I'm doing something about it, as everyone else on this site is!

    Keep up the good work!
