I upped mine and I feel less neurotic and more balanced etc...but I took it really slowly upping them 50-75 cals every 2 weeks until I hit MFP maintenance...that way my body would adjust slowly and not freak out

Unsexy questions are more fun I don't get gassy I get really light headed...but in the afternoon, after my super healthy lunch..well there are apples, carrots, cheese, yogurt, almonds and then some protein/fiber bar I strategically allow myself to ummmm get less bloated.....when I am walking past certain groups of high…

I have not read all the way to the last response but I didn't notice how long you have been eating at this new target. Sometimes it takes a bit of adjustment for your body. If it has been less than a month I say give it a month....at that point there are lots of way to mess with the numbers to find something that…

I do not view uniforms as means of making kids not tease one another. Kids will just do that. I do not think uniforms keep kids from knowing who is a "has" and who is a "has not". I think uniforms can be cheaper but that they are not always cheaper. I do not think uniforms eliminate kids pushing boundaries. When the kids…

My children attend a public school with a uniform dress code. They are to have navy blue pants/skirts and white or light blue polo shirts. In junior high they wear khaki pants and white or light blue polos. They attended a Catholic School for a few years before transferring and the uniform there was a specific jumper and…

Yes to thisfirst...Fg=mg...you are using 10m/s/s..as g...

My kids are tall and are very athletic and strong. Our law says that the magic age is 8...I kept them in the booster until they turned 9 because I told them they are still 8. I am only 5 foot tall and they have seen me adjust seat belts for myself or I have a cushion I use(read booster for grown *kitten* women) in my Dad's…

preference is the only thing that matters...some people find they cannot sleep if they workout in the evening...I don't have that issue...morning workouts blow chunks if you ask me...they are necessary sometimes but I hate them and never put as much into them so for me it is a night time thing

I spoke with my doctor about my problem with being cold...it is problematic...doc said "get fatter"...I cannot handle the cold..it is painful for me. I had issue before losing weight.

By the list from Mayo..feeling depressed or out of control qualifies...if I feel like I indulged when I shouldn't have the ED part of me beats the mental crap out of myself..the recovered part of me has to engage the appropriate self talk etc to excuse the mindless eating..it is a work in progress...

While I agree that there are binges and there are BINGES the person may feel the same at 500 over as you do when you are 2000 over. My old eating disorder attitudes do a number on me when I am more than 200 over. Sometimes I knwoingly go over on a special day and I can handle that...and oddly those are real over days but…

A good way to work it is to eat at the maintenance level for you ideal weight. So if you want to be 145 set your target for maintenance for 145 and then shoot for that....

I maintain a ridiculous schedule most days. I sometimes have to just make a workout fit in. Sometimes I do just like you said and squeeze in mini workouts...ie....when doing endless laundry I will climb by basement stairs 10 times, do 50 jumping jacks between loads...do 10 pushups after folding 10 pieces of clothes…

Total Daily *Energy* Expendeiture...I think it is energy without looking it up. Essentially your have a BMR which is a base line for the number of calories needed for your body to simply function...at coma level. You should eat this always. TDEE is an amount of calroies your body uses on a daily basis living your life.…

I would not wear them to work but I have a teaching collegue that would rock them....I would go for the same shoes in a hot coclor

enter cobb salad and see what comes up..enter a vinegarette and choose one...or find each ingredient and enter it individually...I have to do that sometimes

You know my story about Emily, my 3rd grade daughter's bff that is fighting cancer. I listen to her favorite song "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus to get through tough workouts and my dad's favorite song "My Girl" and oddly...PUMP UP THE JAM...we had to make up an aerobics routine to this song in high school and during the…

I do not take rest days as often as I probably "should" but I do rest and modify my week's training when I feel fatigued or sore or developing an injury. Usually my rest days fall either once a week to every 10 days. They are good for you but you don't have to lay on the couch you can walk and be active..

"Running is bad for you" is a myth. Being obese is bad for you. Having no fitness is bad for you. Running is great physically and psychologically. There are overuse injuries for sure but smart training can eliminate those. Oh and my chiropracter is a super cross fit fanatic. He competes in the Cross Fit games etc and he…

I see this happen all the time in real life. People start exercising and then give up when they don't lose weight as they think they are doing things "right" and maintaining or gaining. I mention MFP to them and they say counting calories/nutrients what have you doesn't work for them. Then I watch...a friend of mine does…

I think most people do not realize the hurtfulness of their words. I am however a parent to 4 children and they all have very different body types thus different styles of clothing are more flattering on one child than the next etc. It is a really difficult thing to try to teach your children healthy attitudes and habits…

My profile pic is me in a bikini. I have decided that despite having pretty decent abs for a 37 year old mom of 4 that I feel best in my bikini when people can see all 4 kids and understand the flabby skin that just didn't go away. It isn't a ton of flabby skin and stretch marks but I see it and it makes me…

I am a science teacher, love that I have been compared to Ms. Frizzle from the Magic School Bus and I am a long distance runner.

Coffee is my my blood.....I can drink it all day..it gives me a tiny boost but does not keep me up...I also have issues staying warm and coffee makes my hand thaw a little and warms my belly

I do judo...I used to break up the 2 hour session into 20-30 minutes calisthenics, 15-20 mins vigorous calisthenics and only 10-15 min of judo... unless the practice was more vigorous...this way I accounted for teaching times, time standing around, etc...

Hello my name is kelly...I am addicted to cereal, running, working out, cuties, running

I sometimes eat my body weight in almonds too...like I am actually a squirrel

I am pretty certain that I think looking a hot mess is a sign of greatness!
