HRM is better but still not perfect, nothing is going to be pinpoint because things like intensity and weather will affect how many calories you burn. As for MFP as a rough guide I halve the amount of calories it says I've burned off.

weight loss buds this way,already have a couple and it's a big help...let's group motivate :drinker:

It's hard to judge exercise calories accurately.I certainly think the jogging/exercise calorie calculations on MFP are way too generous so you have to find your own level. As for 1200 cals only maintaining weight, thats nonsense, everyone should be able to lose on more than 1200 if they are recording correctly. Good…

Only joined a few days ago, looking for a nice steady 2 llb per week loss then just to eat healthy once I reach my goal.Good luck everyone

I'm always over in protein, I'd be far more worried if I was over in fats. Isn't protein good for reducing hunger pangs?

Surely leafy green veg can be eaten in enormous quantities or have I been reading the wrong books? As for too much fiber I'm not sure that's really a problem as it simply passes through your system.? 2600 sounds a lot but i've noticed the calorie values of foods in the food logs tend to be on the high side....85 cals for a…

Yes, you have to make allowances for moments like this.It's not a disaster, just make sure you make up for it over the next day or two

I have two, a 'good' scale and a 'bad' scale ,for some reason one of them puts 7 pounds on me compared to my actual weight. I don't use them every day ,just when I feel I need to check in.

Just started here, looking forward to making some progress in the weight loss stakes

I don't think less than 1000 calories a day is advisable but I'm not sure why you'd gain on just 1200 calories either.Are you recording all your intake including things like milk etc?

a pound a week is a good sensible target, good luck

Inception is fantastic, as is Toy Story 3...even for grown ups. I also liked A Single Man which I saw on DVD on sunday.:glasses:
