Hello and welcome!

Welcome!

Welcome! I'm curious. Is it harder to lose baby weight than regular weight?
-
(Obvious if you've read the book. :smile: ) Finally, an interesting thread! Mine is a variation on "Razbo" which was in turn an evolution from "Raistlin" back in the BBS days when there was no WWWeb to speak of. I'd just read the Dragonlance novels and had just then gotten a modem, so, being a n00b with no better ideas, I…

Yeah, stay true to yourself and don't succumb to peer or family pressure. (BTW, are the people saying this overweight themselves?) I think redalee's got a good idea. Just pass it off as a health thing and not a weight thing if that is thier hang up. Then if they persist you can throw plates around and holler that they want…

Well. I'm only comparing to what MFP calculated, which is 1500 and change for a 2lb loss per week. The "Maintain" amounts are pretty close, but I guess when they say gradual weight loss, they mean *gradual*. :smile:

Welcome! This website will definetly help you stay on track. :smile:

As patr says, the web is all over the place. :tongue: One thing I do like about the Pyrmid site is how it recomends foods to eat. One has to take a sort of holistic approach to web information, taking the best and/or most applicable from each source.

Egads, I checked out the http://www.mypyramid.gov/ site and it estimated my caloric requirements at 2400/day to "gradually move to a healthy weight"; 2600 to maintain. I think I'd be gaining.

Focus on the _almost back to where you were_ part. You're still better than you were before, so you have that much less to go to get to where you were. Prefektly clear, no? I agree that sometimes a binge is a good thing. In fact, I am planning on a little "slip" this Friday. I've been craving pizza for 2 weeks and I'm…

I'm naturally cynical, and I shouldn't be. Nellie, or should I say Woah, Nellie!! I have never, not anywhere, not ever seen or read anything that would support the use of laxitives as a means of losing weight. The only healthy method is a steady and balanced approach such as that which is generally discussed on this…

The caps lock is a clue...

My Doc said 20% Prot. I said I was shooting for 25% because of weight training and she figured that was fine. I keep fat at 20% and the rest to carbs. I used this page as the basis for my percentages http://www.mckinley.uiuc.edu/Handouts/macronutrients.htm

...And an empire is born? :smile:

Clearly, you are supposed to hire a chef. What's the big question?? Just kidding!! I'm lucky I'm a meat & potatoes guy myself. Nothing fancy on my menu, but I've had to cut out some stuff from my list. Not so much red meat and I used to be such a huge hamburger fan, too. Now I eat a lot of ham and fish and the beef usually…

If you haven't been counting, then this site should definitly help. Welcome and good luck!

Welcome! I think that's where I was supposed to make that left turn... :smile:

Welcome, Nellie!

Welcome dwo and webo!

Welcome, Ireland! I just wanted to add my 'weight' to what everyone is saying. When I started, I had miscalculated my calorie goals adn made them too low for my activity levels. After a couple of weeks I was really lethargic. I had no trouble sleeping like you are. In fact, I could barely drag myself out of bed, which is…

Definitly exercise as Mr. Banks has said. I was letting my doctor know of my 'life changes' lately and was informed by her that 60 minutes per day is recommended for a healthy heart. This was quite a bit more than I had thought.
-
You have made amazing progress. Really amazing. I clicked on this link to add my 2 cents because I am a little 'stuck' at the moment. For myself, I've just picked up a bad habit the last week of eating too late in the evening and I have to change that. I'm on target with my calories and I am not gaining, yet I am not…

Bummer! Maybe it's just water weight. :smile: I any event, it's a new week, and you'll make up for it!
-
Words of advice? Just do it! :smile: Seriously, the site helps a lot with tracking calories. I personally find weekends hard to track. Not so much that I think I'm going over, just no time to keep it logged. Otherwise, it is just the thing to keep myself on track most of the time. I don't give myself a hard time on those…

Welcome folks!

Crunches, sit ups, twisting sit ups, frog kicks and what I call 'side bends' (leaning side to side with 25lb dumbells) are what I do at the moment. Not to sure for your butt. That should get pretty taut with stair climbing, leg curls and treadmill. :wink: Be VERY careful of the stability balls. I watched a thing on the…

Indeed. The work out goal doesn't apply to the base calories, only to the exercise part of the site. It should be tracking there what you enter and how close to your exercise goal you are. Personally I find it highly motivating to know that when work out, I get to add calories to my daily amount.
