And my BMR is 2100

I just went to fitnessfrog.com and it says my TDEE is 3100. And MFP gives me 1500. Hmmmmm

It's not medical. I am diabetic, so I get full blood work ups often. I do weigh and measure EVERYTHING. The bread I eat is the Healthy Life with Omega-3, so not much in the way of calories or carbs. I make my own dressing with greek yogurt, so not very calorie dense. Or I use vinagrettes. I'm not losing inches anymore…

I learned this lesson the hard way and made no progress at all for 6 months. I wanted to quit too. But…

I'm on 500mg daily of met and eat ice cream all the time. I never have issues. I think it's like my nutritionist said, everyone is affected differently by meds and food and having diabetes. What one person can eat, another cannot. You have to try everything and see how it affects you. She told me most diabetics cannot eat…

The only thing that bugs me at the gym are the people who sit on a machine, finished, texting, like no one else wants to use it. I don't care what the person next to me is doing, because it doesn't affect MY workout. I get in the zone and don't even notice what's going on around me. If people around you are bothering you,…
