I weigh in my underwear and shirt. after evacuating myself. the trick for me is not whether I wear something but to be consistent to remove variables. I don't really care what I weigh specifically. I care how much have I lost. ie progress.

that is strange. I try not to eat my workout calories. I wont cry if I go over a little :-) the strange part is I never feel hungry after a workout. ever. in fact I don't want anything to eat after working out. now a few hours later sometimes I get hungry but never super hungry. odd.

why peanut butter? you only get 2gb of carbs per 100 calories ? is there other reasons peanut butter is good (I don't much like it but can tolerate it if its that good for me in some way)

thank you so much for offering your time and expertise. that truly is very generous of you. and especially helpful to us who lack insurance so we can't consult a doctor. My desire is to maximize my weight loss as quickly as is both possible and "safe" ie I want to push the edge but not cross it. I have tried to learn about…

so board consensus. is 2000 cals a day safe? advised? I don't feel hungry on 2000cals a day in fact every now and then I end up under cals (when I eat healthier) if you guys tell me thats ok I will keep doing that. if you say I need more fine if you say I need less fine. I just want to maximize my weight loss. I am sick…

boy potentially dangerous topic to get into but here we go. you say in starvation mode there is no unused energy so nothing to store in fat. problem is this statement (whether true or not I don't know) appears to be based on the assumption that your energy usage remains unchanged. I venture to say this is the logical flaw.…

I can prove the OP is correct with simple inarguable anecdotal information. its easy to gain weight and hard to lose weight. period. therefore there is clearly a bodily function at play "sabotaging" our efforts. so we must learn to work WITH those bodily function since we lack the technological ability to alter or effect…

ok is there a good url to read up on the ins and outs of this. the program suggests I eat 2930 calories a day to lose 2 pounds a week. thats insane. so I set my goal at 2000 calories. (I am bring brutally honest in my diary so even the bad stuff is recorded :-) what is BMR? how do I figure it out? I thought this was a…

hah. I set my goal for 2 pounds a week (low for my goals but it is what it is) and it set my calorie goal at 2930 IIRC I changed it to 2000.

I loved doing low carb. I got to eat things I like (eggs fish chicken veggies etc..) and it does work. but the plataeus really suck and last a long time and its an EXPENSIVE way to eat (which is why I had to stop it) now if your physically active YOU MAY have energy problems. I had no energy problems in my day to day…
