If I am making single serving, I weigh and add in, usually using bar scan if I can. If making something like dressings for salads or a larger amount, I use the recipe, even uploading it and then making the modifications in the recipe feature - which I do a lot - like dressings...I rarely use the oil amounts in recipe and…

I am curious why you would be embarrassed of your family? One BIG thing I have right now is my dad, though miles away being very supportive... so much so he ensures I have money to pay my gym membership since I am not working right now... I would think if you were honest with them, they would be quite supportive and they…

Like I said - I've read all these - and yeah - call me dumb but it makes NO sense to me... Do this or do that - TDEE or default and so forth... go here for this and then it takes you to two sites... which contradict too if you go on... Thanks though for trying... yet... not motivating but even more frustrating!!

Thanks - the goal is 1200 the 1692 the way it copy and pasted is what I've ate at that time I copied it.

the dr is the one who told me I was storing what I ate, therefore not loosing weight!!!

snazzy - yes, that is what MFP gave me - from all I've read, it does it to all women in general or a good portion of them and that is what I have to loose - I was less but gained after losing my job and not paying attention and yes, some depression set in... Other sites are higher when I researched it, but just stuck with…

Thanks - but NO... the deficit on the MY HOME that is a bar - and says = I've researched and researched this on here and other sites and it says it should be 1200 the BMR for women... CALORIES REMAINING Add FoodAdd Exercise 1200 GOAL 1692 FOOD - 816 EXERCISE = 876 NET So do I want this to be 1200 where it's the NET - and…

Thanks everyone - I really need help with this stuff!! I have an ankle issue that hurts my working out / cardio... even walking some days can be a pain in the - well ankle/foot... so I am trying hard to get the calorie thing underway... This really helps out!!! Anyone who can help / friend me - watch my foods would be…

Lauren - I hope you find some answers - I have the same problem and if I work out - it's worse!! I can't eat enough... last time I tried this I was burning and eating what I was supposed to and couldn't loose ... I can't figure this out at all!

I kinda agree with every one - 15lbs is, well, just lifting the grocery bag or a baby... but perhaps there is a reason for this - illness, injury or whatever...I started working with a trainer and even with him 15lbs was OUT of the question... believe me, the 45lb I cringed, but I could do it! (Even trying to joke with him…

Okra is great if you roast and it looses it's slime!!

WOW - My house - my son - he wouldn't have ate!! Deal with it - get hungry, he'll eat!! Giving in can create HUGE issues later!

NICE!!! Have to try...

I have to agree with you on this!! Patience and understanding from EVERYONE makes this site work!

I guess I could understand your concerns if you noticed him with other clients and engaging in conversations away from the "working" client to discuss personal things and such... but in the end - he's doing his job! He's showing great customer service, paying attention to everyone, doing his job as a sales person as…

I'm hoping it will eventually strengthen my lower back - I've been going for two weeks and my lower back as never hurt more actually... and I am in a class, not trying to do on my own... Thursday I couldn't sit still in Sukasana... literally tingling in my spine... Chiropractor on Monday hoping for a realign to assist and…

In his defense: http://yourdoctorsorders.com/2011/10/breakfast-myths/

For years upon years I haven't ate breakfast and I never lost weight - can't blame it for gaining either... I've been eating breakfast now for about a month and while I am NOT losing really, I am NOT gaining either - but I do feel better through out the day and feel more energized in the mornings...

I'm right there with you and I don't understand any of this - I search BMR and get a different figure everywhere - ranging from 1500 up to 2400... I don't understand the tdee...or the net for that matter... though that I am starting to kinda comprehend - I know I was not eating enough and it was saying starvation mode and…

You copied it yourself the answer to this: The conclusion from this trial was that the pills were no better than placebo for weight and fat loss. The best thing you can do is eat clean / healthy and exercise!! Learn good habits... eat every 3 - 3 hours small meals to keep metabolism going.... There's no shortcuts really!!!…

Pink eye - nice - and that she'd call off for sick dogs - apparently issues there!! I would be furious if someone at work didn't call in with something contagious like that. The weirdest thing I ever called off for was for continuous hives I kept getting from some allergic reaction that kept happening at work ... and I…

I can't even explain it other than they are trying to make themselves feel better!! I mean those burned calories should have been calculated in the BMR... I could understand if you over did something in a day ... like did stairs at the Empire State Building... but not the two minutes you spent going up and down steps...…

So not true - we break down to eat the bag (or bags) of chips and gain back weight!!

WOW - amazing the feedback on this post from the "pride" some have offering up their heritage while other believe this is "racist" because someone inferred they have features that seem to be dominant from heritage. Then some saying, "no specific features" which makes me really wonder... There are features that are…

I smoke and yes it can suck at times - but also it gets easier - try yoga to learn breathing and it does kinda help cut down a bit when you are forced to breathe deep - and then learn to breath properly during work outs.... it does help... (I was actually told by a doc they would rather me lose first and then focus on…

Beyond nightmare!!! So much easier focusing on ME!!!!

Gym, Yoga, the grocery store and veggie market, work... oh wait Geesh I need a freakin' life!!!

Also helps if you cook in broth like chicken or veggie broth.... LOVE IT!! Use it instead of any rice!

I use in place of rice for just about anything... then create from there ... I've used for chicken soup - great and different flavor - so much yummier... Veggie stuffed banana peppers (instead of sausage)... Mix up some fresh spinach and mushrooms and red peppers... and just the other night I made a homemade gumbo and used…

She did have something - and therefore since her body felt as though it was "starving" it kept everything in not burning so the body absorbs it... thus gaining weight from "little" versus losing with "lots" as long as you burn it!!
