Try cold water instead. If that does not fix it, try green tea. I am sure you can control your munching cravings in check. Best wishes

Five kilos in 2 weeks is not a slow weight loss. It may even be a too rapid weight loss rate. MFP recommends 1 pound a week -which is little less than 1 kg every 2 weeks. In any event, you have done a lot better than most people. Great job.:smile:

You made me chuckle. They don't deliver after 1 AM in my area. So, I have to do a carry out :-) To the original post - I eat whenever I feel hungry. Generally avoid eating after 9 pm unless I am planning to stay up late past midnight..

Thank you for sharing the url above. I just confirmed that we all may be right. The body weight of the runner makes a huge difference in calories burned. I checked the site for someone running at 6 miles per hour for 1 hour If your weight is 185 pounds, the calories burned were ~830 cal If your weight is 142 pounds, the…

every day - twice a day. Since I have a scale in the bathroom, it does not take any extra effort or time. I log it in MFP only when there is a change in weight,

I am pleasantly surprised that walking burns so many calories. I am happy for you. When I run at 6 miles per hour on my tread mill, it shows that I have burnt 900 calories in 1 hour. However, MFP's exercise chart only shows 650 calories. Any thought on which is correct? 1 hour of running at 6 miles/hr burns 650 cals or 1…

Congratulations on losing 70 pounds That is an accomplishment that you can be proud of. Well done!! Could that be your motivator for further weight loss instead of your fiance? Not sure why you need his support in the first place! To me, it is a nice to have - not a requirement. Both weight gain and weight loss are…

I do not know what 17 day diet is. In any event, I take warm green tea whenever I am hungry but do not wish to eat. It works like a charm, at least for a couple hours.

My motivation to shovel snow has also seen a lot higher this season once I learnt its calorie-burning power:-)

I normally do not cry watching movie. The one that made cry was a Hindi movie called "Baagwan" starring Amitabh Bacchan. The movie is about ill treatment of their aging parents by their grownup kids. If you ever get a chance, please watch one - make sure the movie has sub-titles so that you can follow the dialogues and the…

Wish I can inherit part of your problem :-) On a serious note, nuts are one of the best ways to add good calories to your diet. Almonds and Walnuts are my favorites. Nuts are calorie-rich but also provide essential nutrients and protein. While I have to keep my nut consumption in check because they are calorie-rich. but,…

You can do it. If you did not gain it in a short time, it is unrealistic to expect it to lose in a short time too. Keep track of what you eat and what you spend - that is all. Most of the diets are probably temporary in nature - I have never tried one! MFP is the real deal as it empowers and enables you to make slow,…

Congratulations. That is a great accomplishment. Keep it up. I started noticing waist size changes from about 10 pounds of weight loss. My waist line has gone down by 4 inches in the last 5 months accompanied with a weight loss of ~22 pounds. I wonder if it is a man/ woman difference or is it something else! You may…

Curious if your work involves sitting the entire day. If yes, a very simple way to get some additional exercise and burn a few calories will be to stand half the time instead of sitting for the entire 8 hours. I recently started doing it. You lose an additional 120 calories a day just by standing for four hours instead of…

You can lose weight without exercise. However, exercise makes the weight loss more achievable and more sustainable. I, personally, need exercise to lose weight at the 1 pound per week rate. Doing exercise enables me to to eat as much as I want, which is more than what MFP recommends. If I just follow the MFP guideline and…

My wife is my crush. MFP is a distant second. Both of us are doing MFP since last three and a half months, and have been very pleased with the results.

No, I do not know Jack, but your post is super funny :-):laugh: I can see how some people can really get them confused with what to do and what not to do!

I think it is your frustration speaking when you say "I give up". What is your alternative once you give up? How long did it take you to put the excess weight on? Did you do it in two weeks? If not, it is unrelasitic to expect to lose it in two weeks! The mantra is really simple. Keep your net calories (food calories minus…

Eat more and play (physical work) more. Also, make sure that your net calroies (food calories minus exercise calroies) equal at least 1200 cals per day, as recommneded by MFP. It might help to think of your body as a furnace. when you stop eating or eat very little the furnace tends to die down ( = low metabolism). - you…

No. I have never heard it nor have I experienced any issues with eating bananas any time of the day. So, relax and eat bananas whenever you wish - as long as you do not exceed your net calories goal :-) Cheers!

I, too, was tested low on Vitamin D. My Doc has suggested 5,000 gels. My wife was also tested low. Her doc put her on 10,000 prescriptions (which my insurance does not cover). -- I was also informed by my doc that the prescription Vitamin D is slow release, which results greater overall absorption versus supplements which…

Dpends on what it is that you are taking a bite of. Also depends on how many bites we are taking about. I will definitely add bites of anything that contains significant fat as fat contains twice as many calroes as carbs or protein. During the first few days of my MFB food diary, it as a shocking revealation to me that my…

I include my fish oil since it contains 15 calories and at least 1 g fat.

It sure does :-)

Ran on Tread mill for 3.8 miles, burnt 580 calories (per the Tread mill display) also worked in the yard for an hour - a beautiful day here in columbus, OH. So, as a resuly, am running in negative Net claories at this moment! Feels great.
