There is a 1.5 difference when I am holding it in and when I am not. When I buy clothes, trousers(pants) etc I always hold it in.

Yes this sounds like the advice that Dr. Oz gave to the clients he was helping. He just said, hold it in, but she didn't suck it in. Thanks so very much!

Ok. I just wanted to make sure that I was cheating.

Have no clue about phenomenal stomach muscles because all I see is flab... I just know I hold it in, which is different from sucking it in. Do you know when you are doing a crunch or a squat and you have to use your stomach muscle (kind of like contracting it) well that's what I do and to me that is holding it in.…

Ok! Thanks for the reply :)

Actually yes... I do that all the time. For someone my size it's something I've gotten use to holding in my stomach..again not sucking it in, just holding it in, so yes that it how I buy my trousers and have always bought them since I've been overweight, holding in my stomach

Hi Crudd, my weight loss goal is 2 lbs per week, exercise 6 dys a week for a minimum of 40 mins each day. I've gone over the 40 mins sometimes though Cyclerjenn, thanks so much for the explanation. I understand now why it changed

Welcome to the MFP and congrats on the weight loss thus far

Thanks for the reply. Yes I am working out so I guess that is the reason for the calories to be so low. When filling out my profile I put exercise at 6 days a week for about 40 mins each so I suppose that could be the reason why?

Hello, I'm a vegan. Feel free to add me.

Congratulations! I weigh between 235 and 245 (long story check out my intro) and myfitnesspal has placed me on 1200 calories. Something doesn't sound right. When I began on Tuesday the calories was 1250 and then it magically changed to 1200. It does not sound like it is enough. Thoughts?

How do I open up my food diary? I did not know it was locked/closed. Also thanks to everyone for the well wishes and the friend requests
