  • Brussel sprouts... so easy to give those up (-: Actually, I have not given up anything completely. I've had way less fast food; mostly drink light beer vs. craft beer now; diet pop now but occasionally a regular pop. 5 or 10 peanut M and M's now versus the whole bag... pizza is the hardest food to give up for me, frozen,…

  • Advice is to keep going and don't give up -- I have found myself in the "plateau" place several times and while it is frustrating, just recognize that for some of us it happens and then press on. I'm on my way down from nearly 250, so you'd think that a pound, which is under 1% of that weight, would come off easily and…

  • Gross versus Net calories and a BMR... can you explain this a bit more? If possible, put it in context of oh, say a 55 y/o male @225 pounds who treadmills almost everyday for what the on board computer says is 325 calories burnt in anywhere from 22 to 27 minutes depending on my pace. Thx

  • Baseball and softball parents know this truism--- with multiple kids in multiple sports from March through August and nightly practices, weekend games, road trip tournaments where the adults drink in the Holiday Inn Express parking lot until 2 AM, baseball and softball season also known as Fast Food Season.

  • Depends on how often you eat out imo. If you eat out regularly, say 2 or 3 times per week and maybe lunch and or dinner weekly, probably should do some pretty good estimating as others have noted. Our family might eat out once per week, which is a function of the cold weather and a teenage boy who can scarf a lot down and…

  • Man, am I stupid. I just re-read all the posts and looked at some other calorie counters. All along I thought the MFP calorie goal needed to be beaten daily to achieve the weight loss I entered for my goal. Come to find out, the calorie goal is what you need to achieve the weight loss goal. Thus, 1,500 MFP per day includes…

  • Home. Treadmill and weights are paid for; I can pick the music and the volume level; no commute time. I do miss pool time though... swimming is one of my favorite exercises.

  • Log as I go, use the phone app regularly... what is harder for me is less than a serving size estimates... i.e. if I snag a handful of almonds and then trying to calibrate what percentage that is of a serving.

  • Thank you all for the responses -- indeed I was focused on something like this: 1400 per day goal, go under by an average of 200 per day for 6 days due to a combination of exercise and diet. So, over 6 days I'm net 1,200 to the good. But on one day, I go 1,600 net to the bad -- i.e. 1400 calories easily surpassed by the…
