Monitoring macronutrients allows you see if your body is getting what it needs. You need carbs, fat, protein for your body to function. Losing weight is fine and wonderful but if it's not healthy, there isn't any point. This said, in general, yes. A calorie is a calorie and that's what matters for losing weight but it's…

8.5; definitely sexier than me. Heh

mcdonl - 6 but mostly because I can't make ya out.

- Apparently, most people here have never eaten fast food EVER since everyone and Jesus says how gross it is. Come on. Really? - People who like to act as if what worked for them works for everyone. No, dammit. I can't do squats. I've heard they give you a fantastic *kitten* and would love to, tho. - People who, whether…

If I'm not mistaken, MFP calculates your calorie requirements from your bmr paired with everyday activity level regardless of exercise; thus, it wants you to eat your exercise calories because it already has you at a low enough level to, say, lose 1# a week.

At one point in the game, I'd lost around 100#. I dropped 2 sizes. I always thought it was because I was super heavier than the 200# shorties I see. Turns out it must be the height.

They are NOT good. It's all fluff and onions and I'm someone who ADORES onions. These things are weird. (Maybe it's because they're GF? IDK.)

I murdered Udi's Snickerdoodles and vanilla ice cream. I'm the same way but with everything.

My health is secondary and maybe even tertiary to wanting to 1) shut a couple of the voices in my head the hell up/make them happy and 2) be the cute, lovely one. I need my big, overgrown, wide body to reflect the type of person I am. A very small amount of my health problems stem from my weight. (I don't have angina/heart…

The sheer amount of snark here is astounding. Jesus... IDGAF who's sponsoring a program, but having a reality game show (set up to promote weight-loss) push food in people's faces is a bit trashy. "Here, you fat *kitten*. Lose weight, win monies, don't be blinking fat! While you're at it, have you had some fast food today?…

tschotschke@gmail.com I am the exact same way. (Like... today.) Please email me if you ever need to talk. I have an iPhone - I check my mail all the time. :) I wish you so much luck, sweetie. It'll be ok one day.

I personally don't like cheese burgers. They're weird! HOWEVER, I will blinking MURDER a McChicken if you add either tomatoes or dehydes and pickles OR if you get them to dress it like a big mac. Or McNuggets. Once upon a time, when it was me, my gf, and our roommate and they had 4pc's for a dollar, I went in and ordered…

I'll throw in my expertise. Should screen cap all of my dead posts. Poor n00b me. Ha.

I think it should be mentioned that NO ONE in the south sounds like they do on tv. No one has that smooth, drawn-out Blanche Devereaux or cowboy accent. Most of the time, Alabama just sounds ignorant! (My family is from here but I'm originally from Northern Cali and worked hard to overcome any southerness I have. Ha - now…

I have a sister that will constantly tell me, "Be, you're NOT fat!" because, apparently, I don't fit into the mould created for people my weight. To be honest, I always feel bad about that because I AM fat and it's almost like I've conned people. I also feel like my problem and how I feel about it is whitewashed and I…

I definitely get this way and it's typically because a part of me is feeling out of control and/or wanting to fix some past **** up I may have had. I typically just try to eat a little. I rationalize that even minuscule Amy of calories to the day is better than nothing.

I just want to say that logging sex never crossed my mind until this post. I burn more getting my swerve on for 45mins than I do doing pilates!

I'm going to take a lot of pride in knowing that I got 97% of these names write. I'm Brianny Mickiela (easy as last name). brie-ya-nie mi-kie-la. It's ridiculous but in my mother's defense, Bryony is a legit name and Brian is my father. For whatever reason, no one gets it right. My FATHER says it wrong. (He likes to omit…

My sister, who is pregnant, uses it to make sure she eats enough (as she battles old ED drama). I decided to give it a go after using SparkPeople, DailyBurn, LIVESTRONG, FitDay, Calorie King, etc. For what MFP offers for free, the others don't compare in the slightest. (Editted because apparently MFP doesn't like my…

My girlfriend/fiance and I are both nearest 6'2. We've been together three years after meeting on a dating website (OKCupid). She msged me because I was tall like her. ^_^ Ironically enough, the guys I've dated averaged around 5'8, my last ex (also and OKC find) was maybe 5'7. Haha.

The only calories burned calculator I use is http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc so I end up having crazy things figured out. But I suppose my "weirdest" thing is me logging my job (food service - bus girl, backer, food runner) but I only log 1/3 of the total time I work. I like to make sure I eat enough on my work…

I'm thinking of waiting until I'm under 300# to buy it, but the idea of wind in my hair and peddling to shops is so wonderful sounding. I'll keep my spirits up! Thank you. :)

I'd say you were lightly active as you tend to sit for the greater portion of the day. Look @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_activity_level For me personally, I always say that I'm sedentary (even tho I work 30-40hrs a week in food service) because, other than that, i don't do very much and my body is definitely…

My favorite meal in the world is tuna, sweet chili, and jasmine rice. I could eat it forever. Danke everyone! It seemed that I'm not too totally screwed and it's more of a matter of just not eating all the bread rather than scrounging around for more ways to get meat. I should just be eating more of that then bagels. Haha.…

I am currently 361# @ 6'2. My BMR is something stupid like 2571 while my exercise is basically nil, I work in food service 40hrs a week so that number is typically inflated WELL past the 3500-calories-in-a-lb mark. I want to lose 2# a week but the number MFP gives me typically puts me at a standstill weight-wise. (I'd LOVE…

Milk. I go thru milk like a fiend when it's cycle time. All the calcium helps, I suppose. Choco-milk powder also helps when cravings are really bad.

Thanks for the quick replies! I have a problem with binging so I don't keep nuts in the house. (Nuts are one of my favorite foods.) Perhaps I should buy some and make my girlfriend dole them out to me. lol For a year, I was relatively gluten-free and my bread intake was minimal. I'm beginning to think that reverting to GF…

SGD is supposed to follow the rule that you can eat unlimited fruits and vegetables but you count the calories of everything else (breads, meats, sauces, drinks, etc). I'm not saying that living on lettuce and apples for 30 days is healthy either but idea is to get people to eat much more good things and less of the bad.…

If one isn't to eat below their BMR, two questions: 1) How is a person meant to lose weight when their BMR is ridiculously high (MFP says mine is 2571)? 2) Doesn't BMR change with weight with no thought to organs, muscle, etc? Me @ 190# won't have the same BMR as I do now but it's safe then but dangerous now to eat the…
