Hahaha. Yeah. Gonna try eating a bit more healthy foods, not eat back exercise calories and begin tracking on the site again for a little while.

Really helpful post! Thank you for this.

I understand where you're coming from. The only real reason why I stopped tracking on MFP was mostly because it was just too redundant for me and I wanted a break from it. But as I believe I stated before, even when I was tracking on MFP, the weight wasn't really coming off. If it was, it was coming off at a snails pace.…

I figured it out through the scooby website and this one.. They both varied quite a bit, so I went somewhere in the middle, thinking that would yield the best results.

I have at one point but not for too long... Perhaps this will be a good thing to do. I'll give it a shot for a while and see how it goes.

I understand that the high sodium foods cause us to retain water, but looking past that the weight still hasn't budged in about the past twoish months.

I make sure to calculate everything included my liquids, so yes, alcohol is definitely being accounted for.

[/quote] I appreciate the response, but we're going off topic here. My health is not of issue or concern at the moment.. All i'm worried about right now is lowering my weight. One thing at a time.

When you look at it that way, it doesn't seem ALL that bad.. But it just seems like I should be losing a lot more than that at the amount of effort i'm putting into my work outs. Overall, I believe i've lost somewhere in the range of at least 10 inches total from my body since the beginning of the year, but most of that…

I'm young and don't worry about my overall health at the moment. So why not eat tasty, convenient foods and still lose weight? That was the idea, anyways. If I discover my food choices are what's holding me back, i'll make a change.

I see where you're coming from with this, but to be fair, my HRM will only calculate MAYBE an additional 80 calories for a twenty minute lifting session, which many people will argue is far less than what you actually would burn during that time, so I really doubt that's the issue.

I've been eating packaged goods for the most part and I look at the nutrition label to gauge how many calories I am consuming. From there, I write all my information down on a piece of paper and add it up at the end of the day. As for calculating calories burned, I have a polar FT7 that I use every time I lift weights, go…

Thanks Suzi!

Since it seems to have been cut out, this is progress from Feb 2013 to May 2013. Only a 8-9 lb difference.

FreeThinker - Rachael Ray!

I'm so happy that you managed to pull all of this off and that it means so much to you. Hopefully this will only be the first of many things that you'll discover you're able to do now that you're in fitter shape. You're the best Suzi! Happy for you. :)

Bump because I too would like to see the responses to this!

So incredibly amazing Suzi! Adding you was definitely a great decision and i'm super proud of the progress you have been making and have already made!! :)

Amazing work Anna! I knew adding you was a dang good choice! Keep up the incredible weight loss! :)

Fixed. Pictures are a bit large, unfortunately. :(

Wicked job dude! Well done! :)

I always tell my friends who have difficulty hitting their calorie goal to drink some calories. Milk is a great way, and doesn't really fill you up!

This is probably the worst advice, but what I did when I encountered shin splints from running was just push through it.. Mind you, I HAD to walk when they kicked in, but I didn't stop doing what I was doing.

It does make sense. Never had someone explain it to me like that before, but like I said, i'd rather overeat than undereat. I at least know i'm still below maintenance doing it my way, as long as my exercise calories arn't insanely over estimated.

I'm fine with their estimates being over. If I ate less than what they suggest, i'd be under my BMR, which we don't want! :)

I was too lazy to type it out, haha. I do try to get one day off. But this answers my question. THANKS! :)

Too large as well, but good job!

Bump, because i've been wondering this too, even though I think we should be at least netting BMR.

I knew this had something to do with our conversation, haha! I think i'd either be a dog or a bear and go by the name of Charlie or Charles.
