If you need help getting them back out I might know someone... :love:

^^this to the umpteenth power. You are most definitely asking the wrong people. Go see the person who writes your 'scripts and run this by them. They will give you a qualified answer that you can work with. Good luck. :flowerforyou:

wot the flox is a ketone? and why don't I have a dozen? :huh:

STAYING successful means finding what works for you right now, and going with it until you're ready for the next step which (I promise you) you will naturally progress towards. If it means eating the same stuff you usually do, only this time in correct moderation then knock yourself out. That works for you, run with it.…

*IDEALLY* the calories should be eaten, but not over. I try not to hem and haw too much about under by 100 calories unless they are already sitting at a very low net calorie in the first place. (IE 1300 eating only 1200 - yikes!) That said, I think people are of the mindset that the numbers they see on their profile are…

When I do a specific workout, I record it with FitBit - then manual log it into MFP when I'm done. The sync process lets MFP know I did burn some cals, but my HRM doesn't like the numbers FitBit uses so when I manually log it in MFP I adjust to the HRM numbers. The calories burned (FitBit adjustment numbers) double up for…

Last known official numbers for Nashua, NH was 24 (of the predicted 26") We came close. Just glad it was powdery instead of the heavy wet crap it usually is. Bye Nemo!

you can eat cake til your calories are filled up, there is no weight loss law stating otherwise the only reason cake is so frowned on for calorie filler is "what does it bring to the nutrition table" Nothing, that's what. Ignore Bill Cosby it is NOT a source of protein or dairy =P Does that mean don't eat it? Hell naw!…

Id rate that attitude as childish. I've never made fun of, belittled, or otherwise put down skinny people. It can't be easy to be "them" in a world filled with quick and easy high calorie foods always used to be my mindset. I envied their self control. I actually used to feel bad for them for never actually EATING. I was…

You can most definitely lose weight without exercise, but you won't be nearly as fit as you could be with some lightweight cardio. Your fitness should be equally important on your weight loss journey, that way once you get to your goal weight you will have the "energy levels" to support your new physique. Plus, rumor has…

I had been considering surgical weight loss last year - but made myself a deal. If I could lose 50lbs by the end of the year (2012) I wouldn't subject myself to the terror of the surgery. By April I had lost 55lbs, and by Christmas 125. I would call that a raging success, no? My weight loss is still progressing, albeit…

There's a lady at my gym who chews gum with her mouth wide open through her entire workout :( Cardio, strength circuit etc. I'd say something but I am pretty sure she'd turn me into a pretzel. I have been alternating my gym hours trying to find the niche where she is NOT there, but it hasn't worked well so far. Chew with…

I find the elliptical ungainly and awkward for myself, I know quite a few people swear by it. I don't ever see myself using one, even if it was worth twice as much caloric burn as the treadmill. :laugh:

most food nutrition labels list the amount per serving in cups, etc then in metrics so you should be able to math it up to find the numbers you are looking for. So if youre rice says 1/3rd c uncooked, or 80g then you know to multiple by 3 to get your answer. Else google a conversion calc like this one:…

I eat. And post. and lurk. Feel free to FR me, I like folks who eat.

today I got to sleep in, eat, and not do chores.

1260 is low - What did you set your goal settings at? Active, sedentary, etc.. what is your weightloss goal for the week? If you have set yourself to sedentary, and a 2lb per week loss then 1260 sounds like what theyd give you - With that said: If you exercise (delibrate walks, gym time,etc) log those and eat back the…

I used to believe in negative calorie food, then I was like noway and went back to eating real food. Celery does have its place. Stuffed with PB or cheez whiz or something >.> If youre hungry at bedtime eat something, an orange, apple, celery stalk if you feel the need.. It won't hurt you unless it has glass in it, or you…

Ha, sadly I too am guilty of sexism. I looked, saw it was a guy and went wtfimo. OP: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12 Find your BMR/TDEE and feed yourself. Your body will thank you for not being such a food bully. Good luck :) :flowerforyou:

The yolk is the best part... Why waste such delicious food :sad:

For quite a lot of people using MFP is a means of learning healthier choices to use up your calories with. Some people take it to the extreme and eat LOADS of veggies and come in way low. Some people have cut out certain junk foods that made them fat from their diet. I used to eat oreos by the columns. No joke. That and…

^^^ this forever and ever^^

Find out the real numbers for your BMR/TDEE And work with them. Perhaps aiming for a high weight loss isn't a reasonable goal for your body type. Are you "eating back" your workout calories? Remember, MFP asks you how busy you are and figures that into your net intake, so if you say youre going to be sedentary make sure…

Ack didnt see the OP date. Oops. MY B

Forecast for 26inches, but we never usually get that - almost always 5" less. Still a good amount. Southern NH

Non-Scale Victory. Something OTHER than weight that shows your success :) Like looser clothes, running a mile, squeezing between two narrow vehicles, a ring falling off.. stuff like that :)

Woo hoo! A mile! That is awesome! I can't run 500 feet yet so I consider your NSV to be a huge one!! Great job :) Won't be long til you see the 2mile mark :drinker:

A triple double quarterpounder with extra bacon and pickles. Instead I am going to have an orange and an apple.

you *might not* want to hear this but I wish someone had told me back about this time last year - would have made life sooo much less fraught with tension. Being successful at losing weight when you have a partner is communication. He was definitely wrong in tossing all that stuff out - it accomplished nothing but hurting…
