I frequently want 10+ hours only because dreaming doesn't feel like sleeping. I would kill for 5 hours of solid no dream sleep!

I'm just going to make another appointment. Thanks everyone!

I do about an hour (4-6 miles) on the elliptical 5 days a week and walk to work and back around 3 days a week (4 miles round trip).

When I said I have a difficult time hitting the 1200 mark I meant that I have to eat way more than I want, not the other way around. If I really stuff myself I can hit 1300-1400 but I feel awful afterwards.

Thanks guys. He said I should only be taking in 1200 a day since he already knew I run. I'm eating well -- mostly fish, chicken, greens, quinoa -- stuff like that but I fill up pretty easily. I will try and bump up my calories more and see how that goes for a few weeks. I would like to trust his advice but since I've only…

It helps me to go backwards when the numbing starts. Sometimes changing up the forward movement to backward movement stops the dead foot feeling from spreading.

Are the BMR calculators accurate? I have a slightly hyper thyroid that's still in the normal range so I'm not on any medication.

My BMR is 1,355. But -- one would assume that what my doctor, who has all my blood work and thyroid levels would be correct? You just read, over and over, on here that a person needs more calories to lose weight. On the other hand, you read all the time how doctors are wrong. Here lies the confusion!
