As you burn calories, it will add them to your daily totals. So if you were -1, then you went over your daily goal, but since you added in your exercise, you gained extra. You should always eat your earned calories so that you don't go into starvation mode. If that happens, your body will think it's starving and retain…

Welcome to the site! I have been on here for about 2 weeks and I love it so far. It has been keeping me motivated and on track! Congratulations on the past 100 lb loss, that's great! How did you do it? I hope to be in your shoes someday! Feel free to add me as a friend if you like, we can try to keep each other motivated!!

Is there someplace on MFP to "build" you meal? For example, I want to make chili, can I list all the ingredients and it tell me the nutritional info for the serving I choose.

All I can say is plan ahead. We used to eat out every Fri and Sat night, which sometimes we do, I just get the healthier options. For example, Friday's we usually do pizza, so now I get the veggie lovers on thin crust instead of the stuffed crust with extra cheese (mmmmm!) I had a bachelorette party this past saturday, so…

Welcome and good luck on your journey! I love MFP!!

What does everyone think about skipping days in between? I did L1 days 1-3 in a row, but then took 2 days off, then did L1D4 and took one day off. I will be doing L1D5 tonight. If I put too many day in between, do you think you lose some of the impact? I am trying to get on a more routine schedule, but with my work and my…

Thanks for the info...just got a new Ipod touch, so I will download this today! Good luck and keep me posted on your success!!

I have a book called "The Abs Diet". I only use it for the smoothie recipes in it. I use whey protein in them. I am the same as you, I am not hungary in the morning, but have to eat something to get your metabolism going.

Welcome!! I have been on here since 6/1/10 and love it so far. Good luck in your journey!

HI!! Welcome to the site! I have been a member since 6/1/10 and have lost a total of 5 pounds! I have tried many different sites and programs, but have never came across one like mfp. Its very user friendly and everyone is so helpful. The stories you can read are very inspirational. I am 29 and have a similar weight to…

Ok, so today I completed day 3 on level 1! So proud of myself that I did it, though my body aches everywhere, I am just glad I came back. I hope everyone else is doing great with it!

I am totally in! I completed day 2 today and boy am I sore. I am more out of shape than I thought! I have heard that day 3 is rough because your body is more sore, so hopefully it will be a good day tomorrow and I won't have trouble! Thanks for starting the group sky!!

Welcome! I have been on her for a few weeks and love it so far! It really helps to read about others who have the same issues or weight loss goals as I do. Plus, you can see all the success stories and it just motivates me more! Good luck in your journey!

AGREED!

Ok, so this may be a stupid question, but for a IPod touch, do you have to pay a monthly subscription?

Thanks for all the advice and help! I have a few issues with it...first, I am a side sleeper, so it's hard to get comfortable. Second, I feel almost clostrephobic (sp?) with the mask on. It covers only my nose, but I almost panic with it on. I will try the other masks that were mentioned. I'm gonna give it another shot…

Way to go!! I had to do the same yesterday for a graduation party! All the food looked so good, but I did great with my choices and portion size. I too ran home to enter my food into mfp and realized I didn't do too bad. Keep up the great work!

How about to vs. too! I hate that one!

I have the same problem. Ever since I decided to take this seriously and try my hardest, its all I think about. My husband even said that the only thing I have to talk about is weight loss, exercise or this site. I'm afraid if I try to avoid the subject, that I will fall off the wagon. I don't think its a bad thing, just…

I have 5 and my treat once I reach my goal is to get the tops of my feet done and the back of my neck. I can't wait!!!

Thanks for posting this! I find it very inspiring!! Good luck in your journey!

I just joined on Tuesday and I love it already! I can't wait to meet new people and help each other along. We could all use a little extra support!! Good luck!!!
