I've done that back in November. First increased from 1200 to 1350, then 1350 to 1500. The weight loss slowed down but I feel it would have gone down anyway. I feel much better now with the extra wiggle room and I regret nothing.

MFP is MFP and WW is WW. They work differently. On MFP, you need to track everything.

Falafels, pita pocket, some lettuce, celery, hummus! Yum!

Plan your meals. Sit down and write down your (main) meals for the week before going grocery shopping. That way you won't have to remember to use them... You just grab your plan and prepare what you planned.

At 1500, you'll still be in a calories deficit. I don't think it can be considered as a spike day.

I enter all the ingredients in the recipe tool here on MFP. Very handy!

I only comment if there's something noteworthy that day (something fancy or something I'm curious about).

I don't take any. If you eat a well-balanced diet, you don't need them.

The one I have every morning (and sometimes as a snack too) 3/4 cup skim milk 1 scoop vanilla protein 1/2 banana 50g frozen fruit (blueberries, red berries, mango...) 2 tbsp instant oatmeal Comes around 270 cals and fills me up for the whole morning!

Life is not about only eating foods that good for you. Mostly eating foods that are good for you is more than enough!

I might be wrong but I've always thought "regular" spoons were smaller than measuring spoons. Mine are anyway!

Get your husband to help you. Seriously, you're not doing your son a favor by setting such an example... There's no reason why you should take care of everything.

My thighs touch. They always have even when I was underweight. However, I don't get chaffing/callous thighs. Thighs touching is not always uncomfortable! :)

Actually, canola oil comes from rapeseed. Granted, most rapeseed is now GMO but it's still "real"! ;) I use (organic) olive oil and (organic) sunflower oil.

I'm not from the US and the only accent I can recognize is the Southern one. Thank you True Blood!

Either A or save the salad for tomorrow and enjoy a treat! :)

I gave a bath/body basket to the girls at the daycare. :)

Idon't think he wrote "healthy" in reference to weight. It's probably in reference to people having kidney problems or conditions that require a higher water intake.

Frankly, if you don't buy expensive food for Christmas, then you'll never do! Go ahead if you can afford it!

While I agree with the schedule, isn't 200 cals for 10 minutes A LOT? I burn 200 calories by doing 30 minutes biking/running/elliptical!

There are other BC options out there!

I don't track water. I drink when I'm thirsty. Between water, diet coke, coffee, tea, soups, fruit and veggies, I'm pretty sure I'm getting enough fluids to stay hydrated. There's no need to force down water down your throat if you don't feel like it. (and people are way too obsessed about their urine color. Reminds me of…

1200 is on the lower end actually. A 6'1 man should eat much more than that.

She does not need to log every single activity. There are formulas to calculate TDEE. I think for a sedentary person it's 1.1xBMR. At 10 kg from her goal weight, there's no need to have a huge deficit.

Hmmm, no. 1400 would be her BMR, at best. BMR is, as you said, cals burnt just by beng awake (actually, even if she was in a coma she'd still burn her BMR). Deficit is way more than 200 cals since every single activity is added on top of BMR.

1500 NET seems reasonable for your stats... You've been stuck at this weight for 3 months but you had lost 6 kg prior to that eating the same amount or did you change anything? You've maybe hit a plateau, which sucks but seems unavoidable for many. There are several threads around on how to break a plateau; mostly by…
