If you eat 2500 calories, then to keep exactly the same weight, you would need to burn 2500 calories. This is not 2500 calories burnt via exercise - this is via every day activities - cooking, shopping, using the brain, etc. However, if you want to lose weight and you only burn 2500 calories each day, you will need to…

Ridiculously low. You will feel lethargic, weak, and demotivated. It is all about net calories. To maintain your weigh, calories used should equal calories consumed. To lose weight, you need to use more calories than you are putting in. This can be done by continuing on 2500 calories a day but adding in exercise each day…

Agree with AddyMaeMomma. Tracking your food is critical. I know somebody who couldn't understand why they were not losing weight - they were eating all the right foods to lose weight, but it wasn't happening. It turns out that they were eating fruit salads, porridge, etc, but portion-wise - enough to feed 3 but counting it…

Also GirlyJu Don't get frustrated - weight loss is a marathon, not a sprint. Don't get sore - only exercise up to your limit - if you injure yourself you will be unable to exercixe and that will frustrate you more And DEFINATELY DO NOT FEEL HUNGRY - if you are feeling hunger pains, as I previously mention, it is your…

Girlyju. 2 days is just random fluctuations. your body will not react that quickly. Thereare so many factors that are important. As you say, eating regular is important - spliting what you would normally have for lunch into 3 parts - morning snack, lunch and afternoon snack (not having a morning and afternoon snack as well…

a night of pizza and beer occasionally will not have any real impact on your weight - it is what you are putting into your body on a redular basis that effects your weight. If you were to have a beer or 2 every night, yes, big impact, but a night out with your mates doesnt have to be a green salad and a glass of water

Hi Helana Mark here from just outside Ipswich. Huge MFP fan - it has really helped me reach my goal and keep going past it to my next goal - I set achieveable goals and when i reach them, reset set them !

As per the last post, Most definately if I feel hungry (and not just thirsty due to not taking in enough water during exercise), and more often than not, I do - as another post pointed out, MFP already provides a pretty good deficit toallow you to reaxch your goal, so there is no need to reduce it more. That said, there is…

Wanted to do homemade pizza for a treat. 1 thin crust pizza 10" base, sauce, mozerrella - low fat, ham, mushrooms, peppers. Nothing too bad. Serving size 1/4 pizza !! My 7 year old eats more than that!

That is a really bad idea. Diets are bad for you, as cutting out meals, starvation diets, etc causes your body to STORE fat as it goes into famine mode. It will therefore get rid of all the useful stuff in your body, holding on to fat as long as possible. When you do eat, your body will be o pleased to get some food at…

Dependent upon your body weight, an hour-long resistance band routine can burn 200 to 300 calories. I also did a calculation from a website found via google, http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/calories_burned.asp?exercise=219 and I do 4 sets of 15 reps (biceps, front raise, lateral raise, squats - I cannot do triceps t…
