there's too many possible factors. you'll need to share more info. if you want some advice.

I think it's a matter of how a women holds her weight. Many skinny girls have no figure, but too much weight can also hide a girl's figure.

This dependes on how you configured your weight loss goals. For me, a net of 0 cals equals 940 calorie deficit.

I'm a grad student. I've found that I have to start my day with a workout to make sure it gets done. After I do so, the rest of the day is down hill because I don't have it hovering over my head anymore. This helps me to be more alert in my classes too. PS.I saw that your from Riverside. I went to high school in Temecula.

I plan to tuck my head between my legs and pretend like's its just another day.

Well said. Channel your emotion into something great

My point was that lots of targeted advertisements are probably just around the corner. It's how these kinds of sites stay in business.

how does volition differ on facebook?

My motivation was the thought of possibly loosing another pound before I see my friends and family this Wednesday. I live in NYC and I'm from SF, so I don't get to see them often. What was yours?

"I don't get the eating of your exercise calories either. Why waste my time exercising and burning 200 calories if I am just gonna eat 200 calories worth of food back." Weight loss is only one part of a healthy life style. Working out also reduces your chances of getting a slew of nasty diseases. As long as you are…

The MFP team posted an article somewhere around here that gets into the physiology of "exercise calories." You should try to find it. The bottom line was that you should try to eat them, if you want to see maximum results.

Way to go! I'm often in the same boat, and I've found that Trader Joe's offers a lot of quick, healthy, and tasty options.

Sometimes I'm worried that calorie counting reinforces food addiction. One symptom is obsessing about calories, which I often do.

I'm a researcher who spends a lot of time on the computer analyzing data, so I know how difficult it can be to break the sedentary lifestyle. MFP is a great place to start. By the way, what is the c25k program?

Welcome! It can be difficult to keep the pounds off in college, but I think you've found the right group. Good luck and I hope to see you reach your goals. Jay

In most cases, the cause of cancer is considered to be uncontrollable, and you feel sorry their misfortune. Whereas, the cause of obesity is construed as laziness or a lack of will power. In all…

The worst for me is after a few drinks. I will usually seek out junk food consuming thousands of calories. As a general rule, I now avoid drinking. But when those days would happen, I'd have to make sure I started fresh the next day. Otherwise, I found it too easy to get down on myself and off track.

Congrats!

Every few weeks, I need more intense music. I started with indy, then pop, then hard rock... now I've started listening to drum n' bass. It's not for everyone, but it sure helps me keep up with the Stair Master for an hour.

I've always wondered why I gained weight after a big workout. Often it would even discourage me. Thanks for the info.

I'm glad you posted this article. I came across the original a year or two ago in a class. I've been thinking of sending a suggestion to My Fitness Pal asking them to add a sleep counter similar to the water counter. I think it would be helpful for people to track their sleep, and I bet they'd be surprised how much it…
