I think this is working as intended. When Pilar pushes the workout to MFP, calories are being subtracted based to prevent double counting. MFP gives you credit for being alive. A 60 minute workout may yield 600 calories burned but sitting on the couch could also burn 60. So the net difference would be 540. Interestingly,…

This is most likely true.

I have a 16 yr old daughter that yells at me all the time so I am used to it lol. She just yells at me for other things.

I didn't figure that out until you said you were going to go test it. That is when I had the light bulb go off and tried it on the website. I posted that giving you credit but again with so many people worrying that I was trying to kill myself it probably got missed. Anyhoo thanks for the help!

The bug is that the website doesn't yell at me only the app does.

Yay happy!

Ah you helped me figure this out. I just completed my Anorexic trying to look like a 90 yr old lady I am going to die skinny fat and alone day using the website and it didn't yell at me. I went back to the app on my phone and completed it and it yelled at me. they suggest increasing my consumption to 1200 calories. so it…

I wanted to make sure it was a bug first. I wanted to see if others have seen this. I am sure somewhere in this sea of snap judgements there might be lol. By now there are way too many crazy things going on and I lost track. Now I am just having fun with it. People get riled up real easy on the interwebs

1. Gross is total net is total - exercise. If I don't exercise they are both the same. 2. If that is the case I totally get it. Maybe they changed it to 1400 but didn't change the wording. Because it still says 1200 3. I typically do. this is fun!

5 6 160 = 1600 BMR plus the range of 400 cal per day to take into account movement. So I was wrong. 2000 is maint(roughly) Not really accounting for muscle or fat percentages though. It is so crazy to me how people get so bent on things. I appreciate when people answer the original question and then maybe throw a…

That is a lot of anger.

congrats?

No way! I don't have to take my dentures out first!

5'6' 160

and in all reality I am closer to 1 lb a week not 2. My maint is 1900 cal.

I am well aware of the need for macro control and strength training for muscle definition. I was talking about occasional days that I don't work out. Not every day of my life haha. I even put in parentheses "when I don't work out) which I try to work out 5 days a week and I play Basketball on the weekend. this post was…

I asked for pizza and you delivered Chinese. (Although I will only eat half a slice to stay within my 500 cal a day max)

I forgot to put on my flame suit before posting today lol. thank you for all of the "Health tips" But all I wanted to know if anyone else was experiencing this bug. I am pretty sure I wasn't complaining about anything else. I typically work out daily and I eat up to 1800 calories a day. Occasionally if I miss a work out I…

This is one of the creepier forum posts I have come across. I wonder how many girls got messages in their in box after replying this. :embarassed:

Yep

Diet Soda! You only live once! Who cares what the lab rats say!

Thank you again to everyone for all of the nice words. I posted this back around Christmas time and I am proud to say I have maintained my weight for 5 months. I wasn't really logging either. I learned enough on this site to be able to do so mostly in my head. Now I am looking to shed about 5% body fat and I am back to…

She is 14 and starting High School next year. It can be very hard but it's so rewarding.

Make sure you are eating enough. I ate my calories back all the way through. I know there is a big debate on here whether or not to do that but I just think it depends on the individual. I do know that eating to little will slow the metabolism down and make it harder to burn. So if you feel like you are stuck try to make…

Thank you for all of the kind words. Selfishly I enjoy seeing this thread pick backup but I am also glad it is there for others to see. If my post helps just one person get over that hump and reach their goal I will be elated.

Yes I think water is huge. For me half of the time I thought I was hungry I was actually thirsty. I heard a rumor once that our bodies don't know the difference. So we assume we are hungry and eat. Also drinking 32 oz of water with a meal makes me feel full. Tons for me is anywhere around 200 oz a day. I drink a gallon at…

The feed back has really blown me away. You guys and girls are what makes this site rock! Thank you again and again. I look forward to seeing everyone reach their goals! someone asked what I ate. I ate a lot of low calorie dense food. Mashed potatoes, Oatmeal and lots of peanut butter sandwiches. I drank 32 oz of water…

Thanks again everyone for the compliments. It means a lot.

Thank you for the kind words. I was going to try to reply to everyone but I guess that is just silly. I cannot say enough good things about this site. For extra motivation I wanted to point out I lost 28 lbs in about 90 days. I had lost about 15 lbs over about 6 months before finding this site. My advice to anyone that…

Thanks!
