Oops, the reports are under "reports" not "tools, lol...

I wish MFP had a visual chart like you described. I think that would really help in terms of putting things into perspective. Like I remember my starting weight but I don't remember what my starting measurements were. I know that I've lost an inch or two but I can't recall how much. It would be nice to visualize that over…

You can't be serious! If you're really netting that low of a calorie amount, you're going to get sick....i don't know how you even have the physical strength to muscle through all those work outs existing on NEGATIVE calories.

bump, thanks!

I did Atkins for a couple weeks...lost a good amount of weight, but by the end of week 2 i was really sick...now i just eat LESS carbs, but still get a fair amount in daily.
-
I just finished day 5 (on level 1) and am shocked at how quickly my endurance is improving! day 1 and 2 i pretty much wanted to die, but now i actually look forward to it! Also, when i first started i was the world's worst jumping jack doer...i would end up in the closet or into a wall, i just couldn't stay in place...now…

When i fall into a weight loss slump, and start to think "what's the point???" i remember this idea...I'm eating healthier...exercising...and i'm NEVER going back to eating junk and vegging out, because I was only getting bigger and more unhappier...that's the point! :)
-
ok, new side-questions....any ideas on other cardio-fat-burning-calorie busting exercise that i can do to lessen the load on my legs, on my "off" days?? I know i need to do more weight training, but i always feel like i'm wasting time if i don't do some cardio with it :)
-
that's a good tip...i do tend to be at the gym after work, when my legs are already tired from standing all day ( i literally stand ALL day) and also probably not as properly nourished as i could be. I have tomorrow off, so maybe I'll go to the gym after a light, protein-packed breakfast and try the (2) 10 minute runs…
-
I already run pretty slow, lol...i think if i slowed the treadmill down any more i might fall off! My first 5k of the season isn't until may, so i have some time. I think maybe i'll just take it back a notch, so i don't have that as an excuse anymore! :) I completed the program last spring and ran (2) 5ks, so i KNOW i can…

maybe try tracking your sugar and sodium for a week or two? when I started tracking my sugar intake, i was horrified to see how much sugar i was taking in! that can make a big difference for me. I just started zig-zagging my calories, which seemed to help break up a 3-4 week plateau...most days i eat a smaller amount of…
-
Yeah, Bob also recommended walking backwards on the treadmill...i think i'll save that to try when no one is around, since i'll undoubtedly fall off the treadmill! :)
-
I'm starting the Zig-zag calorie method to see if that shakes things up for me...as well as adding some more variety to my workouts. I know how you feel...i eat great, exercise hard, and don't indulge in the things I used to. I haven't had a cookie or a donut or fast food (excluding subway) in like 3 months! that's epic…
-
okay, nevermind, i was looking at the "extreme fat loss"...i see under the "fat loss" section it varies anywhere from 1512-2300! so i'm guessing that's calories in TOTAL, not net, after subtracting exercise....is that right??
-
Sorry, i'm attempting to start zig-zagging to help break a month long plateau...so i DON'T eat back the exercise calories?? I tried the calculator on freedieting.com and it didn't seem to make a difference how much or how intense my exercise, my calorie recommendation always seemed the same. If i shoot for 1512, as…
-
OMG, i just googled diabetic necrosis and i am officially off sugar! Whenever i want something sugary or junky, i just remembered how badly i huffed and puffed on the treadmill...craving gone!
-
wow, this website was super informative and helpful...thanks!
-
From everything I've read (last summer and again, starting "new" again with MFP), MFP already builds a deficit into your daily calories. So let's say it wants you to eat 1200 calories a day, which wield yield a loss on it's own...if you burn, say, 500 calories at the gym and DON'T eat them back, then you're only taking in…

I did weight watchers for about 12 weeks and lost about 14 pounds...not bad, for me, actually! But, i didn't want to keep paying for it, when this site is free. I used MFP last summer with good success, so now I'm back. I like the accountability of tracking every calorie, fat gram, sodium milligram, protein, carb and…

i like to get the roast beef, with all the veggies i can image and olive oil blend, 6 inch on wheat...it gets me about 350 calories, 10 grams of fat (higher, but healthy olive oil fat) and about 720 mg of sodium, 44 carbs; not GREAT in sodium and carbs, but better than a burger and fries!
-
and steer clear of the tuna at subway! it's made with full fat mayo :) but you can go with pretty much any other meat choice
-
I also track sodium and sugar...too much of either of those will stall my weight loss; I'll still indulge in certain foods that aren't exactly "diet friendly." I just determine if it's worth working out for longer in the gym...usually it's not, though. I haven't had what would be defined as "classic fast food" in like 2-3…
-
PKiddy- i haven't tried them, but i saw that they make Omega oil in gummies now...maybe those would work better for you? the ones i take are GIANT but taste like orange juice and not fish :)
-
I take a Vitamin B-complex, because it's said to help convert food into energy; I take a calcium supplement, one at breakfast, one at dinner, because it's good for my bones and is said to promote weight loss. I also take a fish oil supplement, good for the heart, skin, etc. AND i'm taking a glucosamine/chondritin…
-
I am also on week 2...i did this program last summer, completed it and ran two 5ks! Then i fell off the wagon this fall, gained a bunch of weight back and am now starting over! My goal is (5) 5ks this summer!
-
Well, i'm only 5'5", but my goal is anywhere between 135-150....just starting out on this site, for the 2nd time; i've been doing weight watchers for about a month and a half, and have lost about 13 pounds. Switching to MFP to save some money and track a little better; Currently around 200 lbs, and looking to drop 60 more!

You look great! I want your collarbones, lol! :)
