  • My husband and I are rewarding ourselves for the first time. We've only been on MFP for two weeks but we've both lost weight during those two weeks so we're treating ourselves to a nice dinner this coming weekend. We'll probably reward ourselves with a dinner out about once a month. Some people have "free" days where they…

  • I'd eat back some of the exercise calories too. I'm eating 1200 calories a day but on the days I exercise I eat about 1400 calories. It's working pretty well for me, though I've only been on MFP for 11 days

  • I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2001. After many MANY fertility treatments (including some failed IVF's) we're finally on the road to adoption so my body is now "free" to diet and exercise to my heart's content! I'm negative for insulin resistance so I don't bother with Metformin anymore (though I took it when I was trying to…

  • I just checked out my BMR and it's 1,685 calories a day, the same as calculating the AMR * .80 as someone else said. Is my body really so fat that I burn over 1,600 calories by just resting?? Good lord I need to lose that weight!

  • I haven't used the BMR calculator. I'll have to go find it. Right now I put that I want to lose 2 pounds a week but that's just for the beginning. I plan to trim it down after I lose 10-15 pounds.

  • Really? I always though the first few days of dieting were the hardest!! I guess I'll have to see how I feel after a few weeks then

  • I exercised yesterday and burned 291 calories. I had only logged about 1,100 calories yesterday and the system gave me the "starvation mode" alert so I ate an extra sandwich at dinner and that brought me up to about 1,335 so I didn't eat all the exercise calories I earned. I don't plan on working out for another few days…

  • Does lotioning the skin help at all, or is it just a water intake thing?

  • I'd like some info on this too. I'm getting ready to lose 50 lbs, and every time I lose even 10 pounds I feel flabby which makes me just as self conscious as when I'm fat!

  • Just joined MFP today. My rock bottom was when my and my husband's sex life went downhill. It wasn't a self esteem issue but a purely physical one. Not to be graphic but when you're obese there's not many positions you can get yourself into. That and I just want to be able to cross my legs again when I'm sitting down. Is…
