i've just stuck with what mfp recommended for me. i started at 1200 and since then i've lost 13 pounds and now i'm at 1400 calories. if you click on "goals" it will adjust your calories to your current weight settings. if it hasn't changed yet, then up your calories yourself. start with 100 and see how it feels. you have…

i'm so glad some people agree with me!! i tried the brownie since posting this and it was disgusting too!

bacon. i HATE it!! hamburgers are GROSS!

i totally agree! girl scout cookies are as great as i remember them and i had mcdonald's french fries last week and i wanted to DIE!!

surely someone else has a thought!

any one else have any thoughts?? :)

your net calories should be 1400.. no less than 1200. if you are burning 700 calories, your body is only getting 700. you need to eat back those exercise calories. your body will go into starvation mode otherwise. it sounds weird to say you need to eat to lose, but it's true!

I am on Book FIVE of the Wheel of Time Series!! It's SUCH a great series. I hate how Jordan reminds you at the start of EVERY book who all the characters are. I KNOW WHO THEY ARE! I also LOVE Harry Potter. I have no idea how anyone could NOT love it! I've read ALL of Dan Brown's books. The Lost Symbol was NOT my favorite.…

confession.. i literally JUST ate half of a sausage pizza before reading this. last night i drank for the first time this year.. only 4 beers but it was like 440 calories! going out again tonight.. but come tomorrow it's back on track!

i love that show! i don't get the channel anymore, but it's a great show. i haven't seen that episode though, i'll definitely have to check it out!

i know! it definitely opened my eyes on so many things!

it isn't "some" brands.. it's MOST brands. coke, pepsi, and nestle are ALL tap water! and those are just the top 3!

it's true that recycling is the best option for water bottles, but you haven't considered how the bottles are made.. the chemicals used to make the plastics and the people that those factories affect. i totally understand that some cities tap water you would deem unsafe, why not challenge the system? COMPLAIN about the…

yes, bottled water is convenient, but it takes 10 seconds longer to refill a reusable bottle from your home tap water before you go out.

AMEN SISTER!! I've posted a similar topic in the past! I have a MFP friend whose goal is to be 95 pounds!! (She's currently like 105) Her diary is viewable and most days she only eats 500-700 calories a day AND PEOPLE CONGRATULATE HER!! When the feed shows "so-in-so completed her diary and was under her calorie goal"…

i want to be a role model to my kid brother and my little cousins.. but i think my biggest motivator is that i just want to be healthy for ME. i don't want to look like that underfed model on the cover of magazines, i just want to be a weight that is appropriate for my own body. i don't care how other people think i look,…

I hate big cities like Chicago. I HATE them! And I am so tired of the snow and the extreme cold. I love the sunshine! But I don't like uncomfortably hot weather, either. I don't want to live in a huge city, but I don't want to live in the middle of nowhere either. Maybe a suburb or a suburb of a suburb. It's really hard to…

how about the school system? :)

do you know anything about the school system in Tampa?? how about housing? :)

How does everyone feel about Arizona or So Cal? Other suggestions??

collagevideos.com is a website where you can search for exercise dvds based on the type of workout you want. not everything out there is on the site, but it's a great start. there's even video previews of the dvds!

This doesn't sound right to me at all.. i'm a 34D and i don't think they could possibly weigh more than 5 pounds!

I've actually considered Hawaii! A friend from high school lives there and she said that the students are WAY behind. She took a college math class last year and they had to review ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION! Apparently the entire education system is terrible and she said she would never teach there or suggest that I do!…

i know that 700 calories burning sounds like a lot.. but i don't know what i should record because the MFP recommendation sounds too low !

aww shucks, thank you. i don't think i could ever move to texas anyways. it's just too.. texan down there!

thank you for this information! i've never heard of this website! and a big thanks for the recognition! teachers ARE under-valued. doesn't it just seem wrong that someone who can throw or hit a ball gets paid more than our educators or doctors?!

Seattle, really?! I've considered Portland, Oregon but never Seattle!

where in colorado would you recommend? i have family in boulder and parker and somewhere west of denver in the mountains! i've been there three times and i loved it! definitely gorgeous.

I have LOVED visiting both Florida and Colorado when I've been there. I have family in both states. Colorado is BEAUTIFUL but I'm not sure I could handle the snow!
