Exactly. People shouldn't need to add that as exercise because MFP does it when you set it up. So yes, you are eating back calories if you set up your activity to active or lightly active.

Not sure if trolling or just new to this site...

Shanny - gorgeous.

Thanks, this was all very useful. Seems like I'm going in the right direction!

But I MUST say that it really annoys me when I check the food database and there's only measurements in oz :angry: :angry:

I am from brazil so my everyday life (and my scale) are measuring in KG. I use LB on MFP because most of my friends here are american and I think they'd enjoy knowing the equivalence to my progress. I really don't mind it :smile:

Brazil!!! :D

I haven't been logging lately, that's why. If you want a more precise diary, gotta look a few days back!

Thank you very much to all serious posters for the great advice and to the "trolls" for the laughs. I'd love to have definition in my tummy since it's one of my strong spots anyway (I am pear shaped and tend to put on weight in my lower half)

That's hilarious, but I'd like to wake up with mine rocking as well :laugh:

My BF% is currently 31% (Eeky, I know, but I'm here to change that!)

I'm not necessarily looking for the easiest way :smile: :wink: But thanks for the advice.

I am Brazilian and find the name of this exercise DVD super amusing. I might give it a try, you think I can get a brazilian booty that way? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

As some other people said, motivation has to come from herself. That doesn't mean you can't help her realize the importance of making healthy decisions. My mom is also a bit overweight and that is bad for her self esteem. I started doing a running program (C25K) and losing some weight, and she got interested in doing…

rbl looks 19, though now I know her age :P candim 21

My pear shape. I swear, I love it.

Awesome!

Thanks girls, I'll take a look at those!

Up please, it's not just for me

Well here goes mine... Not exactly in order since that change depends on my mood #1. Gentle Giant - Gentle Giant #2. Jethro Tull - Heavy Horses #3. Cream - Disraeli Gears #4. Grand Funk Railroad - E Pluribus Funk #5. Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother All those are my favorites not just for their music, but for memories they…

Because data on how many portions is mostly bro science vastly spread by diet magazines and TV, and the actual scientific research regarding that is inconclusive. My nutritionist once said 5 daily portions, also. I usually have fruits and veggies 3 times a day. Now define "portion".

Excuse me while I get new, clean panties. That was intense.

10 push ups, GO GO GO!

Since it's rich in water, fiber and has a low amount of sodium, I'd say the grapefruit helps in weight loss because it's a filler food and will help you feel satiated, at the same time helping you eliminate water.

I never thought I'd post this, but I'd like to show you that you are NOT alone. Life happens and we unfortunately let ourselves go at moments. I went through a very bad phase of depression. The result? This was me at 145 lbs, my goal weight: This is me NOW, at 175 lbs: This picture was a "wake up call" for me. I feel…

Pffft. I lost 6 pounds in 3 months. Still here (even if this is a different account). The important thing isn't the speed, but the direction.
