  • Very interesting discussion-- I always wonder about the accuracy of MFP's calorie calculations. For example, it gives me credit for a very high calorie burn for "tennis, singles", but I know for SURE that I work harder during a (for example) Jillian Michaels 55 minute exercise video, so I never give myself credit for…
  • Funny, I posted this question last June, and never saw any responses… thought I had done something wrong in getting the question posted. I just figured out how to see the responses, haha. Now I'm newly intrigued about this diet, though I'm still not sure I could pull it off… Glad to see it has worked for some people-- and…
  • Good for you! You've got a great attitude, and with determination, you will do it. My advice would be: don't be in a hurry. I was also someone who gained a lot of weight during my college years, and hit a point where I realized that when people were describing me as "big boned", what that really meant was "fat", haha. It…
  • Has anyone seen this post... I'm wondering if I logged the question in correctly... No one has responded... (Maybe no one on this site has heard of "The Fast Metabolism Diet"?) Please let me know if you have an opinion about it, from experience.

  • Congrats to all who lost weight! I was happy to post a loss too... Now I need a new motivation!
  • I'm in too! Starting weight: 138.2 lbs
  • I've only been doing this site for a little while--discovered it around Thanksgiving, then kind of went AWOL for December... My story is that I'm experiencing the yo-yo effect... I lost weight last year (winter through spring), and got to my goal weight.... And maintaining the weight loss has proved to be very difficult.…
  • I think you can do it, definitely. I'm 5'8", 49 years old. For many years my weight was slowly going up... It used to hover around 142lbs, then 144, then 146 then 148... Last winter my weigh got up to around 150 (probably even more, but I carefully avoided scales, so I don't really know how bad it was). Last February I…
