  • Hey I can appreciate people having anxiety. Sometimes unfortunately people have to live with their brains. And sometimes people's brains work overtime. I'm not a psychologist so I should shut up and accept you have some real issues you are struggling with. You've actually most likely have got a good head on your shoulders.…
  • I've lost 53 lbs. in the last year thanks to MyFitnessPal and cutting down on fat grams. You can do it too. My wife is making low fat tasty food and I'm not starving at all. I didn't need to exercise any more than I normally do either. So try budget yourself to say 40-43 grams of fat per day and track your meals with…
  • I like you're attitude Danielle. You've definitely got a good head on your shoulders. Now use it. The mental, psychological, guilt elements of a weight loss journey are sometimes profound so your attitude is everything. What I'd say is relax. Attack this counterintuitively. Make this not a failure. Make this your life…
  • You know, we're at the time of our lives when weight really works against us. When you wake up and somebody tells you there is Type 2 Diabetes in your future if you don't do something about your weight and your body mass index tells you are obese, it's about time to listen. Sometimes you need to get serious and if you've…
  • First of all your body is fine. You have a very active existence, you are a calorie burner. Don't get faked out with your basal metabolic rate, that's just the calories you burn to keep your body alive if you didn't move at all. But you move girl. You are burning well in excess of your BMR daily. I would say you are more…
  • Sarah, listen to Nickle. Watch the intake. Before MFP I exercised really hard and didn't lose weight. It was primarily because I didn't get feedback on all the horrible fatty foods I was still consuming. 1g of fat = 9 calories. If you reduce the fat grams in your intake, you will dramatically reduce your caloric intake. If…
  • I'm really surprised in the mental aspects to taking control and losing weight. The real answer is you can do anything if you set your mind to it. For me I guess it was an easy decision to set my mind to it. When you wake up and somebody tells you there is Type 2 Diabetes in your future if you don't do something about your…

  • You can see exactly the amount of calories it takes to maintain your current weight using this app. Or you can set your caloric target to lose say a half pound per week. Now that might seem like a pittance for you to lose I grant you. But this isn't supposed to be a crash diet. You're supposed to learn something by this…
  • If your deficit is daily or weekly it is what you are logging in for your food intake compared to whatever your daily calories are set in your goals. If you set your goals to say lose 0.5 lbs per week or whatever, if you then have net calories to that goal level you should lose 0.5 lbs. per week. But if you are 750…
  • Chanda you've got a pretty face now get a pretty body. Balance your exercise with your intake. Budget your fat grams to high 30's to low 40's and watch the pounds come off. Hope your ankle is better. You can do this kid!
  • Welcome back. If I can do it so can you. Use MyFitnessPal and plan your weight loss. This works. My low fat intake has helped me lose weight and keep it off. Not killing myself trying to exercise it off either. I believe in moderation and sticking to tracking my intake with MyFitnessPal has given me the information and…

  • Keep up the good work! Losing weight is much easier by using MFP and watching the fat gram intake. Each gram of fat is worth 9 calories. I'm averaging 25-35 fat grams a day and it's working, I'm losing weight but still eating good food. I know you can do it too. Get some regular exercise and the weight will leave you. All…
  • You go girls! I know you can do it! Watch those fat grams! Every gram of fat is 9 calories. Concentrate on lowering the fat grams and take regular walks or other exercise and you will lose weight! Guaranteed.
