FatEdwards2011

Thanks, you are right. I originally had my first name when It was set to private. I panicked after It went public and changed it to FatEdwards. I tried to change it and MFP says NO. I can only change it once. Guess I'm stuck with FatEdwards for the rest of my MFP life :-(

Thank you! I did get the C25K app and I love it. I went to the NB store last week and bought new shoes for support and well, as my old shoes were not what I needed and my feet hurt after 2 min. The new shoes are a HUGE improvement and I don't have foott pain afterwards. I mean everything else hurts, but thats to be…

Thanks, that does make me feel a little better. I'd be happy with 1-2 pounds and I'd probably tell the world if I lost 10! It's hard I cry a lot lately and I'm not a nice person to live with right now. Thankfully, (for the first time) my husband is supporting me with something other than words. He's actually walking with…

Well that was encouraging and helpful. Thanks for grounding me, I was expecting to see 145 on the scale after 6 days. smh

Thanks for the advice!! I wasn't trying to hit 1200, thats where MFP put me. I just figured out how to adjust it based on my calculations. My goal is still 1443 without cardio. I do know if I work out that I should eat more protein and calories so that I'm not starving. I will watch my veggies and lean protein and I know…

I used this formula, which I found on several websites. BMR Women: 655 + (4.3 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age in years) •If you are sedentary : BMR x 1.4 += 2443 daily to maintain Then I subtracted 1000 per day. I know if I excersice MFP gives me credit for that.

I was doing it by serving size for almost everything. So if a serving is 1, 9 chips, or 2 tablespoons; that's how I was calculating. I do measure out the peanut butter

I calculated using weight, height, and age. Then I looked at what I was burning and got a number. I subtracted 1000 from that to get to roughly 1200-1400 a day.

I'm not a water drinker, but you're right I should be drinkng a lot more.

Thanks, you're right. I was a little shocket at a few snarky responses. I just looked and my sodium is fine but I could increase fiber and LOWER sugar. I just worrk about lowering it too much becasue I run in the low 70's for sugar as it is.

So I do have a polaris that tracks my calories while I'm walking. It's really too much on my joints to run at this point. I feel like I should start off running and then add on distance and intensity so I don't get hurt or burn out. Thanks for the advice!!

I didn't expect to wake up and be 145 this morning, I did expect to be 214. I opened my diary up. I do weigh my food, bu thank you for the advice.

Thank you, I opened it! I could use all the help. I really want this to be my last time.

Wow so many responses in the last hour. Thank you! Okay so I figured out how to open the food diary.
