The theory is that MFP has already created a deficit based on your profile settings. Keep in mind it is estimating your base metabolic rate, if it got it close then you can eat back the exercise calories and be fine. If it missed than you may have to do something different. I personally just keep an eye on where I'm at and…

I don't believe in BMI calculations and the body fat assessment on my scale is all over the map. I'm measuring my progress based on weight, waist circumfrence, how I feel and what the lab results say about my blood glucose, cholesterol, etc. Unfortunately the insurance industry does believe in BMI and its one of the…

From my reading, the thinking behind being hungry with sweeteners is that you body anticipates the sugar load and dumps isulin into the blood stream. When the sugar does not materialize the extra dose of isulin causes your blood glucose to go low triggering hunger. As other people said, it seems to impact some more than…

I have three dogs all Bearded Collie boys. Two of them the ones I've had since puppyhood are in my profile picture. The otehr is a rehome that came to me in February. At this point you'd think they all grew up together. I call the the Tres Amigos or at times the Beardie Bad Boys or B cubed.

I prefer to not eat back all of the calories on the "Exercise" tab because I think some of the exercises are…

Do you log cardio or strength training? Strength training does not log calories only cardio.

Welcome aboard. If you follow the calorie recommendations you will loose weight as long as there is not some other metabolic condition preventing it. Be careful with the exercise calories its pretty easy to overestimate them and end up eating too many calories. I got serious again when my doctor told me I had crossed the…

I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure you can tone muscle and run a calorie deficit at the same time. I believe you just need to make sure you get the protien you need to build muscle tissue.

Thanks everyone. It s nice to know there are others out there who have been through it and made it work. I feel more comfortable talking with people on the Internet about than my own family. Probably because you all won't become the "diabetes police" like my family would. I'm struggling with the 20 pounds in 3 months but…

The Costco one is the same thing just a better deal because it comes with a longer subscription period for teh same money. I used the system at one time but I hated using their website. I like the concept but I wish I could upload to my PC or Mac and then use it as an input to the system of my choosing. As far as I could…
