That would be 600 calories . . . 3 x 100 = 300 between breakfast and lunch. 3 x 100 = 300 between lunch and dinner. 300 + 300 = 600. Glad I could help you out with your arithmetic.

If I ate three 100-calorie snacks between meals, that would be 600 calories or half my daily calorie allotment.

Sometimes my dinner is a bowl full of broccoli or brussel sprouts. Makes me full. Of course that's usually after I blew it for breakfast and lunch . . .

Sure you can. Eat only proteins and spend the day on an exerbike. Of course I'm not an expert.

Really? That might be a reason to up to premium, as it's the one feature I don't like on MFP. To work around that on the free MFP, I don't log my exercises until I'm ready to close out, then I log them all (if any, hah!) just so that I'm not tempted to eat back my alleged exercise calories. For that reason alone, I just…

I just keep occasionally using my weights while I watch television, trying to memorize some 5-minute kettlebells routine on youtube but so far no success, but at least I try, and do my own kettlebell routines all of about 15 minutes a day. I have an exerbike that the handles move as well as the pedals. Still, loose skin on…

That's probably why you are not losing weight. It's more comfortable to sit at home watching television than to go to a gym and work out. It's more comfortable for someone to cook for you and spoon feed you than to cook and eat the food. It's more comfortable to drink beer and pass out in bed that to walk around your…

I make my own single serving sizes with the cute little two-ounce containers sold at a Dollar Tree. A lot cheaper!

From your profile, you are down to 211 pounds. This might be the perfect weight for someone 6'2", or 50 pounds overweight for someone 5'8". If you still have more to go in your goal, then carry on. Just because you are in the best shape you've ever been it doesn't mean you can't get into better shape. You've been…

A scoop of whey protein indicates it's a powder. Are you mixing it with water?

May I add my congratulations! Don't set your goal calories too low. Babies are fun to exercise with! You can take them for walks in the stroller, sing to them while lifting them up in the air to the beat, dance with them in your arms, lift them up on your knees and/or ankles while holding their hands, walk around while…

Don't know if that is OP's situation, but I've had plenty of friends who went through that. They either did or did not try to lose weight, and the guy left all the same.

Are you burning more calories than if you took a bus or a cab? If yes, log it. Yes, it's part of your normal daily routine, but walking my dog is part of my daily routine.

I live in an area that is nothing but two-lane highways, speed limits from 45 mph to 55 mph. And lots of curves and hills, and, of course, no bicycle lane or even a shoulder. Cyclists love them. I would be terrified of getting splatted. As it is, I am terrified of splatting someone else, so I just slow down when I come to…

My doxie doesn't stop and sniff; he stops and pees. However, he only does that in new places, and never gets as far as ten feet at a time, lol. In our neighborhood and the trail we go on most often, he's pretty consistent but still has very short legs.

3 mph is my normal walking speed, and yes, there is an option of just 3 mph. I liked the walking the dog part, though; however, there is no way my doxie is going to go 3 mph. Takes us half an hour for a mile, but there is no option of "2 mph walking dog", grrrr, so I have to log it as simply 2 mph.

Wow. Who knew?

Since you can't stop drinking water, eat something salty before going to bed which will retain it. Like peanuts, or pretzels, or chips. Just leave room in your calorie budget for it.

Actually, about five years after we were divorced, I quit smoking and gained weight. Then moved to a new state in a rural area and stopped exercising and ballooned by nearly another 40 lbs. - 60 lbs. total. Glad he can't see me now - I'm down nearly 30 lbs. but still 30 over when he last saw me, hah!

My ex-husband wanted me to gain weight allegedly so that other men wouldn't be attracted to me. (I didn't.) Yet the two times he cheated on me were with fat women. (I divorced him after the second one.) I think he may have had another agenda.

Why not stop drinking water for three or four hours before you go to bed?

You'll probably get more friends if you would make your profile public.

Then perhaps you should have more "in-control" eating. If you are a numbers person, then you will do your numbers every day and not forget once in a while. If you do, you lost your streak. That's just a fact of life. So sorry.

Besides, it's not a journey, it's a lifestyle, so it doesn't matter how many days.

Only 50 days? If you were several hundred, and had an extenuating circumstance, MFP will gladly fix that But for only 50 days, well, there are probably 14,000 people who miss 50 days.

Nah, just another mess.

Well that is pretty crappy.

OP, please learn to spell :smile:

"Awesome" is my nine-year-old nephew's favorite word. Fortunately, he also uses it to describe me :smile:
