I don't know about 10, but let's see... Hey, old fat me, let me help you out!! "Um, dumb@ss, there are 228 calories in every one of those 16 oz. Blue Moons you love so much." "One of those Blue Moons is quite enough, idiot. The other 4 are going to make you real sorry in about 12 months." "Ok, you already had the 4 Blue…

What you (and other who have asked the same thing) need to do is stop thinking of leftover calories as an end of the day surplus of crumbs that must be gobbled up just to reach the net number. If you find that you have a consistent average of "leftovers" and you're not hungry and you rarely dip into those extras, causing…

Um. Ok, well to each their own, BUT what I meant by "must" was that **IF** a person were doing it the way I described, then you must make sure to log your start time in MFP to avoid an inaccuracy in the calorie number - I did not mean that you "must" or are required to do it the way I described. I'm sure either way is…

there's no need to "start/stop" the sleep function for exercising. You just log the activity into MFP and you enter the exact start time and duration (for those new to fitbit - after you sync the two aps, MFP will show you a time wheel when you go in to log exercise). MFP will override that time period. Fitbit will adjust…

Hopefully they include the nutrition info for all of the kid-snot and fruit flies all over that buffet. Mmmm protein! Can you tell I don't like the G.C.? :noway: :laugh:

Completely untrue. I am more than willing to tell someone right in person that lemon pepper syrup juice is a waste of time and a bad health idea. Keep in mind, you ** ASKED ** for opinions. Clearly you should edit your post to read "please give opinions that agree with me and tell me its a good idea," since that was what…

No it does not make sense. A yeast infection is caused by a pH imbalance. When the acidity level drops, the yeast can begin to reproduce, etc etc, causing said infection. Alkaline/acid balance in the body is what controls this, not cleansing. Some live cultures (acidophilus, for example) can help in this regard.…

If you trick your car into thinking it has a full tank when only gave it 1/2, will you still be able to go 300 miles? No. People who think they can trick their bodies are people who want to justify eating a whole Pizza Hut Meat Lovers Pizza. This is not to say that you shouldn't change your caloric intake from time to…

This. I make it a point to leave the margin for especiialy when I know I may not have an accuarate number for a certain thing that I had, and if it's something like meat, where I may not have a correct weight and might be off by a couple ounces, I will usually over estimate the food and leave a margin of what I "eat back".…

Gummies are fine. It's the same thing as regular vitamins, just in an easier and more tasty form. Your body will still digest and process them. I've been buying the gummies for quite awhile now. VitaFusion is the brand I recommend. They seem to hold up their softness and don't get hard / chewy (I believe it was the Vita-…

What a wonderful man you have there, Rose. Truly a wonderful soul. My biggest supporter is definitely my soon to be husband (getting married in a month). He had a few moments of frustration with me early on, because I was barcode scanning everything into MFP and I would get annoyed at him throwing out packaging before I…

I have successfully warded off all of the terrible effects of Alli... the dreaded leakage, no liver damage, no surprise poops, no need for changes of clothes at work... BY ** NOT** TAKING ALLI!! It works, HONEST IT DOES! I know, too good to be true, right? In all seriousness, this stuff is crap, um, literally. And that is…

Assuming you had a regular diet of the average 2000 calories per day or so when you started taking the pill... you would have had to have 4500 calories per day to gain 10 pounds in 2 weeks. Did you do that? If not, then you did not gain 10 pounds in two weeks. You would have had to have been on a serious eating bender to…

I'm a HUGE fan of Kind Bards, and Lara Uber. I also do Pure Protein occasionally - these are high protein, but relatively low sodium and low carb (about 10-11 net carbs or so). I also like Gnu Foods Flavor & Fiber bars... I don't find them too often though, I only know of one local grocery chain that has them.

b.c. does not cause weight gain. I brought this up to both my ob/gyn and my regular doc, and both told me no, that is definitely not going to cause weight gain. My gyn even looked at me like "come on, you know better than that". And yes I do, but sometimes you just want to hear it from the doc. LOL it *seemed* to me that…

I'm on your side with this one, but just to play devil's for a minute - as immature as I believe it is to be all like "oh ladies ONLY, boys go away!", I think a lot of females do that because we're conditioned that men just don't want to hear about it at all, and we're conditioned that way from having guys in our lives…

Thank you. I'm glad I'm not the only one who was going to say that. I mean, just deal with it, it is what it is. We've been having this for years and will for years to come, so just take some aleve, or take a day off if its that bad. A day off of working out isn't going to be that harmful if you're feeling THAT bad. At the…

This is true... I buy the flavored Chobanis only because it's easier for grab & go and to staore at work than hauling berries and fruit around... I don't have a medical reason to strictly monitor sugar and the majority of my sugar does come from real fruit, so I do indulge in the flavored Chobanis and I don't worry too…

I am 5'3" and I was at 154 and 1200 cal/day and also not losing a thing. I upped the calories and I lost 10 lb in about 8 weeks. 1200 was NOT enough at my height so it is definitely not enough at yours. Do the TDEE and BMR calculators and you will probably end up (like I did...) upping yourself to 1300 or 1400... and make…

No. Do not order smaller. You have til next August so you don't need to buy yet anyway. But do not buy smaller. Buy the size you are at the time you're ready to purchase. You can always take material out to make it smaller. You can't add material to make it bigger. They can usually be "let out" but not by a lot. Example -…

No. The healthy eating and exercising alone will take care of it. Trust me. I've bought more of that garbage than I care to admit in the past. I never lost one single ounce until I changed my eating habits and started a regular exercise / activity routine. Raspberry Ketone... GARBAGE.. Slim Quick... GARBAGE. Refirm...…

Clearly it's not accurate because the top item on mine is Quick Calories and I do not do that - I did it a few times way back when but that was it. That does not belong on my most used in ANY category. But after that is Fresh Express 50/50 Spring Mix, Mission Corn Tortillas and Jim Beam w/ Diet Coke. The Spring Mix is the…

There is a lot that is banned from my home because it's crap and I don't want it around because I won't have either one of us eating it, but as for stuff that is banned because I will eat all of it if it's around... oh yeah there's definitely a solid list!! 1. Lays Limon Potato Chips (and to some extent the Lays Dill…

I love this rule. Love it. It is NOT that I am greedy at all I love to share with others, but now that I have certain things that I can and can not have, I'm a little selfish about some of my foods and beverages. so I totally get where OP is coming from here. It's not that I don't want to share, but THIS is what I can have…

Mine tried that yesterday with a brand new jar of my special Planter's Nutrition. He got ONE spoonful in before I shut that particular operation down. He was about to put the spoon he ate off of back into my jar and I took it away from him. I told him I will buy him his own jar and put his name on it and he can do as he…

Well, my personal thought is that if you're 5'3" (I am too) - 120 sounds like a fine weight to be at. "Ideal" weight for 5'3" is about 118. Personally, I say you're fine, and stop stressing over 2 lbs. Your calories sound about right for a deficit with exercise. Definitely don't eat less. Maybe amp up the workouts a little…

Stick to basic things that you can easily add up / estimate, like salad and wraps, fresh fruit for snacks, etc. Things that come with dressing or toppings (guacamole, etc) - get those on the side and add your own amounts. Always see if menus include substitution choices, for example, most breakfast menus off a substitution…

Same here. I started logging under dance general, but if I'm going super hard core and break out a really good sweat, or if I do the Just Sweat part of the game, I log as Aerobics. I generally log less time than I'm actually doing do, just to lower the calorie burn a little in case I underestimated a food or overestimated…

Correct. And even if she were netting the correct 1700, the other problem is that it's only been 2 weeks and she's focusing on the scale going up by 1 lb without understanding daily, even hourly, fluctuations in body "weight" as it reads on a scale

Yes, your logic is correct. Your goal number is "net" calories. If your goal is 1500 and you eat 1500 with no exercise or additional activity, you are at your net, stop eating. If your goal is 1500 and you eat 1500, and also exercise 500, you are netting 1000. You do have to put at least some of that back. The 1500 net…
