Give me tips/thoughts
I am back after loosing 30 pounds in 2 years, then I gained 10 back when I stopped doing MFP. So not being a dummy I came back!! I have lost 5 pounds in the last month re joining. I am thinking I need to take some days off, and overall I just need a bit less calories than I would like. IE some people loose on 1,800 + and I…

Progress so far
I have just added this entry to Heybales' original topic 'An easier way to set up goal calories' but thought we could start a progress thread on the group page. Here is my entry for those who haven't seen it: Just thought I'd provide an update on progress. I have been eating on average just over 2000 calories per day since…

i am new to the group. my name is Katie. I am currently 180 pounds. my goal weight is 140 pounds. I have 40 more pounds to go before reaching it. so for my calories perhaps I should go on scoobysworkshop to see what calories for a 140 pound person are? would that be the best approach

How do I do activity level and calculator?
Really think about your normal standard weekly activities, planned and usual. Don't worry about the odd extra workouts you may get, or may miss. If a workout is more iffy than done, leave it out, or enter in half of it. Think about these activity levels and descriptions. This is the part that takes homework. But done once,…

Anyone still here?
I just stumbled upon this today and it looks like something I was trying to slowly do on my own but I need some help with numbers if possible. I started MFP about a month ago and after the first couple of weeks my losses stopped dead. The site gave me the usual 1200 - which I tried to do for the first couple of weeks and…

Anyone using Fitbit?
Hi all - I just got this nifty little gadget and am trying to figure out the best way to adjust the settings on MFP and the Fitbit site. Tell me what you are are doing... For those that don't know, FitBit is an accelerometer device that tracks steps, calorie expenditure and other things and puts all the data online for you…

These figures can't be right!
Place to confirm what you are getting. For anyone to duplicate, need the basics. Gender, Age, GW, CW for comparison, height. Activity levels. Either tell the story of your normal weekly stuff, or estimate it out. Use decimal values for greater accuracy. Easiest in this order. Rest - Heavy - Moderate - Light - Very Light -…

My Eating for Future You settings - an example
Ok, several folks have asked for my personal settings used in my activity calculator, to see what I'm getting, and how the deficit works out, ect. Because I've had several weeks of inches drop and little weight, weeks of great weight drop and inches, and even sadly some weeks of muscle burning weight drop. So I'll touch on…

how many calories do YOU eat each day
Figured this would be interesting even though everyone is different. How many calories do you eat a day? Post your height current and goal weight and estimated activity. Maybe this will be helpful for everyone thinking " wow, thats too many calories".

Is this eating more really going to help?
In case someone hasn't caught the inspiring thread about those eating at higher levels like this method causes you to do. It may take time to get burning, but it can happen. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/531086-before-and-after-pics-no-starvation?

Quick question re raising cals.
Hi, Started a few days eating my increased cals allowance. It's brilliant! However I read on another thread that the cals should be increased gradually by 200 per day until you get to goal. Is this right? I just jumped straight from 1200 to 1780 per day.... was this wrong and should I have increased slowly until I was…

1 month anniversary
I guess I should have done this on 3/3. But really I know several started earlier than this on the Topic post, or later. So, curious for any to share, doesn't have to be real numbers unless desired. What have you lost in the way of weight, or inches, eating for future you? I'm including inches, because if your workout…

For posting the ups and downs. Ups? What! Yes, if you have been constantly netting under your healthy BMR for awhile, your real BMR is probably lower. And when you eat more, your body will more than likely to be glad to hold on to anyhing while it is running slower. It could take a few weeks for your metabolism to know it…
