This is a potentially good topic with the opportunity for some great discussion, information and insight. We would really like to be able to keep it up. But we can only do that if everyone keeps it respectful and on topic. So please remember forum rules: 4) Do not attack/slam/insult other users. The forums are here so that…

Dear Posters, I wanted to offer a brief explanation for the locking of this thread. At this time, HCG is NOT a topic that violates a forum rule and it is allowed. This is under review and HCG topics will be allowed until a decision by administrators is made. However, regardless of your feelings about the subject, there is…

Dear Posters, I wanted to offer a brief explanation for the locking of this thread. Obviously too much of a heated topic to continue.

Out of a lot of experience though, it wouldn't stay that way. Gun control is generally a political discussion, due the very nature of it (constitutionality, etc.) and therefore violates forum rules. If you have any further questions or concerns about that topic, please feel free to message me or another moderator or admin…

We will try to allow this topic for now, as long as it stays respectful and doesn't veer into political discussion. Please keep it on topic and remember, no attacks/insults. Thanks for your cooperation. Ladyhawk00 MyFitnessPal Forum Moderator

Please remember to follow forum rules at all times.

I couldn't say exactly, but most colleges have both a disability learning center and some type of tutoring department for writing, communication, etc. If you haven't already, contact the disability learning center. Also, check with the writing or comm department, as they may have tips on things you can try (they deal with…

Glad it helped... I think it's a lot more common than we think. :frown:

If it's at 1.2 lbs per week, that may be ok for a little bit. Smaller women can have a little trouble with finding a good balance, because they (you) simply don't have a lot of leeway with a deficit. As long as you're replacing your exercise cals, you're probably ok. Just be aware of it and if you start feeling hungrier or…

It's the general recommendation from most health experts. It came from WHO, as the recommended amount for the average woman to receive adequate nutrition. The recommended minimum for men is 1500 (or 1600, it varies a little). But MFP can only have one "floor", so they use 1200. Some very petite women can do ok with…

Well, it depends. In general, unless you're obese/morbidly obese, eating under BMR is not a good idea. Usually, if you're not obese and it's giving you a cal goal that is significantly under BMR, you've chosen the wrong loss per week goal. Based on your ticker, it looks like that's where you're having a problem. It looks…

This should help: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/186814-some-mfp-basics

Sounds about right. It makes for a much more sustainable daily diet and helps keep you from feeling deprived - and makes it easier to transition into maintenance. Good luck reaching your goals!
