My problem with that is that I do take a prescribed low dose stimulant and have for years for other reasons (no weight loss effect on me obviously-bummer!) so I just worry that I may not feel tired/fatgued due to that. I suppose on days I exercise I should just up my calorie intake to play it safe.

Also thank you!!!!!

I don't think I am going to log during my trip, I think I would just feel guilty! However I live in the great state of beer and cheese and am headed to Los Angeles and anticipate a lot of great tasting healthier food options there than we have here. Thankfully I have another event in March, so if I do get off track during…

Greatly appreciate your time and opinion!! In your opinion should MFP be raising the minimum calories allowance then? I selected the goal of 2 pounds a week hoping to rev up the diet a bit before my trip and so it calculated 1200. Today I have lost 25 lbs since July, which I feel has been a safe rate of weight loss. My…

I've lost 25 lbs since July! In the final stretch as the trip is January 25th so Just trying to boost the weight loss loss a little bit if possible, but understand miracles don't happen overnight

Thanks! That's what I was wondering, but MFP doesn't alert when I go under due to exercise like it does when you aren't eating enough so I wasn't sure.

I'll delve a little deeper and say that I've read in some other forums strong opinions about not eating enough calories to meet the allowance, but what would the difference between if I ate 1000 calories instead of eating 1200 calories and burning 200 doing cardiovascular (just examples) that is why I'm wondering if I need…

Very helpful input! I guess I wasn't super clear in my first post, for example maybe like 1 or 2 days I would be under, some days I am right on track and some days I go over by a hundred or two. Would this even out or is 1 or 2 days a week under still be doing long term damage in your opinion?

Lately I've been munching on Valley Popcorn. I found it at my local grocery store and its REALLY good (I would eat it even if I wasn't dieting) 1 cup is only 35 calories so you can feel like you are eating more while not going over your calorie limit

I have been wondering the same thing, I am a 5'6" 152lb female, some days I eat 800 to 900 cals and other days I meet my 1200cal goal. I never feel hungry, stomach never growls when under my calorie goal. I just feel like if I'm not hungry, I'm not going to eat (Eating when not hungry is how I gained weight in the first…

Thanks for reminding me to do my coffee enema today!!!
