So don't you want to "Keep up with your daughter Play softball again walk a full round of golf not be fat anymore" ????

Sounds like you are not eating enough. If you only eat 1500 calories and burn off 1500 you have not given yourself any calories for day to day metabolism. You'll make yourself sick in the long run.

Hey It's great that you are still working out. Exercise has been shown to be just as effective as many standard anti-depressants. Hang in there :)

If you are not eating for physical hunger then you're probably eating for pleasure. So you need to find different ways to get joy and pleasure into your day. Try to make a list of things that make you feel good and next time you are in that situation see if you can choose something from your list rather than eating.

wow!

Behind all the daft excuses you'll find your ultimate excuse. That is a little voice that says 'I can't do it. I can't control it' The little voice is wrong.

If you're basically standing at a till the closest I can see in the database would be Cooking or food preparation. But only add it if you are set as sedentary like Desiree says. Remember you really should be subtracting your BMR from that as well to be accurate. I wouldn't recommend eating all the calories you earn. Take…

1. Believe in yourself. You have the power to change things. You are in control. 2. Get as much joy into your life from sources other than food. Find things that make you happy and do them as often as you can. 3. Try to eat for physical rather than mental needs. Try not to eat because you are bored or unhappy or to fill a…

Hi! You've came to the right place.

Hi During your work out you burned some of your stored glycogen and you released water. A 500 calorie work out could burn about 125 grams of glycogen. Glycogen exists dissolved in water in the body so there will also be 4 times that weight in water. i.e. 500 grams. So you'll lose 625 grams for that 500 calories work out.…

I don't count water and I don't drink green tea... but if I did I'd count it as water :)

Hi Jennifer Welcome to mfp it's a great site and you'll find loads of support here :)

Hi if it's fruit I wouldn't worry too much. If it's refined sugar I'd suggest you read my recent blog - What is emotional eating? www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/iAlly

Yes it's normal. Read my blog 'How your body is like a car.... and how can I gain 4 lbs weight from eating a 1 lbs pizza.' to get the long answer. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/iAlly

WooHoo!! Let's get going :))

Sue Try not to pin your emotions to the number on the scale. Understand that everyone's weight fluctuates up to 5 or 6 lbs depending on hydration. You will retain lbs of water if you eat too much sodium. You will retain lbs of water if you eat enough so your body replenishes your store of glycogen. You won't gain 4lbs of…

Sounds like torture. In my experience the smell of chocolate only serves to increase my desire for chocolate but good luck anyway :)

Are there really that many people out there who don't know what junk food is? Anyone who thinks that being unable to spot junk food is the reason why people are overweight seriously misunderstands the issue.

I have wondered whether I should make my diary public. Perhaps it would put increased pressure on me to eat more healthy foods and less junk. On the other hand I like that I can record there without worrying what people think. Also I personally think diary analysis is overrated. What matters for weight loss is that you eat…

Hi good morning Have a read at my blog. I think it probably explains why you are having big gains and losses :) www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/iAlly

Quibble accepted. :) 1200 and 1500 are only guide numbers and your are right there is no magic line that you cross.

In all seriousness I don't think you should be curbing eating as long as it's physical hunger and not just desire for something that tastes pleasurable. Spread you calories so that you've got some for a little snack. That's my advice.

hmm go to bed at 5.30???

Walk as much as you can between tourist destinations and you'll earn enough calories to eat out :)

I wrote a big blah blah about emotional eating yesterday. Might be worth reading. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/iAlly

I just wrote a blog about this. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/iAlly/view/a-finger-of-fudge-is-just-enough-to-give-this-kid-a-treat-what-is-emotional-eating-43596

Wow that's like more than 2 litres of sweat!!
