From the little I know, 5 - 7 lb in a week is good for a person, so I wouldn't be discouraged on that point. I think if you lost 5lb in Oct, that's pretty good! Just think, in November, it'll be totalling 10. In December, 15. You'll be skin and bones 6 months from now.

Welcome!!!

My calorie estimates, based on my input when I signed up, were too low. I was losing, but losing slowly and was really 'dragging *kitten*' every day. Could barely get out of bed the last few days. So I figured I must be more active than I was giving myself credit for and resubmitted my goals, and ended up with a caloric…

At the end of the day, a Mt. Dew is pretty low on the list of bad things to be addicted to. If you can stay on track and have one once in a while, I would go for it. I wouldn't skimp on healthy eating just so you have room for one, but otherwise... why not?

Congratulations! *You* did that! :)

TY all! =)

Welcome! I am, today, at the first 10lb milestone of the 40 I have to lose. This site and the people on it are the reason. Stick with it and good luck!!!

210! That is all I have to say =)

Relates (sort of) to my first experience with a non-smoking cab several.. ok many.. years ago. What?? You idled more crap into the air waiting for me than I could smoke in a day! Or something like that. ...I was coming out of a club at the time . As time went on... Ever travel much as a smoker? Hellish at airports (not to…

Well, 'them' is a reformed smoker, most specifically, or non-smokers more in general. Like my dad; he's an ex-smoker. He doesn't say much about it anymore, but his quiet disapproval speaks volumes as they say. :) And, I did not mean 'them' with any maliciousness. I hope I didn't open a big can of worms there. Over the past…

Welcome!

Toronto the Poor lol!! Sorry to hi-jack, but this is Nova Scotia speaking. :)

I'm reluctant partially because of the projected 10lb weight gain that supposedly goes with it. I think I will make my weight target first, then give quitting a whirl (again). If I do gain 10 lb, it won't be so bad as if I gained it now. Plus, I will have already proven to myself that I can get back to the target weight!

Ah, I thought you were just being one of 'them'. :) I've cut back a lot. Calculating what I smoke now is bad enough. Calculating what I used to smoke is quite depressing.

apaden beat me to it. :)

Well, I'm new at this, so if any one corrects me, I won't be offended. :) BMR is what you would burn just lying in bed all day, not doing a thing. However, we burn more than that from daily activities (work, making supper, etc.). Thus, your Normal Daily Amount will be more than your BMR. You can see that on your Goals…

Yeah, so what?!? ;-) <--- Smoker

I eat pretty high protein (my goals were 25%, but I usually go over that). I was feeling pretty lethargic lately, though, so I've upped that to 35% and my goals to reflect a more active lifestyle. I'll make more modifications if needed. As I had my settings (desk job, aggressive weight loss), I was gradually feeling more…

Bah! Total deprivation will make you sad no matter how much you weigh. Glad you gave yourself a break from it, so congrats! It makes the next week all that much easier, right? :)

Awesome. I think the way you are looking at it good, and your intentions are certainly on track. :) Perhaps a sticky page for 'approved' websites would help. Then we can just refer folks to that rather than post links. It would also make a good reference tool. It would be asking a little work of you though, to verify a…

=-/ While I realize you did not say "No Links", I feel that discouraging them at all is not in the interests of the community. I agree, if the links are inappropriate for whatever reason, the poster should be warned, then banned if they do not relent. In my time here, I haven't seen that to be a problem. Even this 'topic…

Welcome! This site helps me a lot, so I hope you stick around. I think you'll find a lot of support.

Well... I can't exactly relate, but I have a couple of comments if I may. First off, stop saying you are dumb. That kind of self-statement reinforces itself the more often you say it. Your IQ won't drop, but your self esteem will. Next, I would suggest that you don't go for Paris-Hilton-"Healthy". I'm a male (I mention…

I've never had to press that button myself. I am not sure what time the server 'changes' days, but it is all reset for me in the morning the next day. (Now that I'm thinking about I will check the time on this post. Must be close.) You might possibly be getting in a "crossover" from one day to the next and it is throwing…

Welcome! :)

crosscrunch.com just looks like an ad...?

Welcome! You'll like it here.

Welcome and good luck healthierdsr! (Good analogy ebkins7)

Back on track, welcome cwmatheny & finkkm!

I almost gave in today with "I'm worried I'm over-training". But I didn't and felt better after my session.
