I have been wondering the same thing. I think I may go see a dietitian and ask them cause I have this problem. I love fruit, but I am worried about my macros.

It takes a while for some people to understand the concept of TDEE and BMR and net calories. So, I find it sad that people are telling others what to post and what not to post. It is easier to post and have people reply to your own posts than to read through the millions of threads out there. I encourage the newbies or…

It takes 3500 calories to gain 1 pound or a deficit of 3500 calories to lose 1 pound.

I love plumerias especially the tropical colors. I do love the stargazer lily too, actually have one tattooed over the top of my foot ;)

age: 33 height: 5'6" SW: 272 CW: 229 First goal: 222 (50 pound loss) by Cinco De Mayo Goal: To make it to ONEDERLAND! by my birthday (August 16th) GW: 185 (will set another goal after I reach this)

I think the question to ask yourself is the following.....How is it any different than meeting someone at the bar and dating them? At least if you meet someone online you can weed out the ones that you just don't have good conversation with without wasting much time. I met my fiance online and we have been together going…

I would love to join. My SW is 232 :) I am getting married on a beach in June, so this would be awesome!

Absolutely amazing! You look like a totally different person and you do appear so much younger now. Congrats to you!!!! And u can trust you have inspired more than one or two people on this. I love success stories and pics like yours because I have been overweight most of my life as well and I have never really thought…

The first half was horrible to watch, but second half was a lot better :) I really like Roy Williams, but Self has done an absolutely amazing job with the Jayhawks, gotta give him credit!!!

I can see a difference. Great job!. Keep up the hard work :)

I would still work out today to try to reduce how much you are over. An hour or two at the gym will reduce that immensely.

I should have put this under motivation and support, but if you post this link on your posts or send to people you want to join they can click there and join http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/935175-join-me-in-miles-to-memorial-day?page=1#posts-14233600

Update with today's miles :)

The treadmill I work out on at the gym asks for weight, age and tracks heart rate and I do a 3.5 incline at 3.8 mph and in 60 minutes it says I burn 623 calories typically. Now if I use a calculator online it tells me about 510 calories, but it does not ask me what incline was used, so I guess I like to use the numbers off…

I am only about 2 miles from the gym, but I drive there. Walking there would be a good idea :)

Cruises have a ton of fresh fruits and veggies and seafood :) I have never gained weight on a cruise, but I hear a lot of people do. I would say eat in the dining room once a day not all three meals cause that could really cause a high intake of calories. I go for the fresh fruits and veggies for my breakfast and lunch and…

I also have been diagnosed with PCOS and I have other medical issues such as hypothyroidism (Graves disease), autoimmune disorder, etc. However, I think it is a matter of realizing that while PCOS can cause weight gain, that people with PCOS are typically overweight and that you can lose weight just like the rest of the…

I also started the Miles to Memorial Day if anyone is interested :) The link is : http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/935175-join-me-in-miles-to-memorial-day

I'm headed to the Jersey Shore in 4 weeks to see my fiance, so I am in! I need all the motivation I can get. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Weight Loss Tools

I just set a realistic calorie goal of 1400 calories a day and then I burn 600 calories at least 5 days a week (or so I try). I do not eat these calories back, because I have a lot of weight to lose and don't really see the point in working out if you are going to just eat all of your workout calories. However, if I want…

Awesome! I usually do more than 3.5 miles a day, but I know there are going to be times when I am not able to workout 5 times a week so I made it an attainable goal :) Thanks for joining. I think this is a good way to hold myself accountable and help keep me on track. Tracking calories and now miles! :)

I say if it will make you feel better about yourself then do it! You have earned every pound you lost and no two bodies are the same and it could be your final step to feeling absolutely amazing. You deserve to be happy after your amazing accomplishment.

HAHAHA. This made me crack up! I used to be that going out, getting drunk, shouting woo girl. And then the part that says 28+ is older, sheesh, I am ancient huh? LOL!!! Gotta love the honesty of "you youngins". :) Thanks for the laugh, I needed that today.

I think this is all a personal decision and in doing so you really have to decide if you can truly forgive him and move on from it or if it will always be in your mind. I have been in your shoes and I have decided to try to forgive, but you will never forget and if you can live with that and not become angered about it or…

I only spend about $20 a week, but I also eat lunches at work for the most part. For home I buy boneless, skinless chicken breasts and I use onion, but you could use peppers and make fajita like chicken with tortillas or just use the chicken and buy a "seasoning package" for buffalo chicken which is yummy on some salad.…

Awesome job! You look amazing.

One cup is about the size of your hand (for most women) so half that would be half cup is the way I try to judge when trying to eat smaller portions.

Oh wow. Sounds like my fiance. Anything that he can put between bread and eat as a sandwich he is good with. Cheeseburgers every day would be good for him even. Pizza, cheesesteaks, steak. No Mexican food or pastas though. If I cook him something I want to eat as well it is just a matter of portion control. Good luck.

I live in a very small town, really no personal trainers here, but I found a site online that showed me what I should be doing! Gonna take up the lifting next week and add it to my workout. Gotta a lot of weight to lose before June :)

HAHA, I like to run, but I have never really gotten into weights/toning. Not looking for a lot of muscle, just to be tone.
