I typically don't feel all that lethargic when I overdo my calorie deficit, just really hungry. I'd agree that 400 calories per hour is an underestimation based on your weight. If you are trying to net 1200/day, that does not leave much wiggle room for error. I'd up your calorie level and see how you feel. You can do it…

After losing my first 25-30lbs or so I felt like I needed a size smaller. Now, I'm about 50lbs in and feel close to my next size down, but not quite there yet. I'm thinking a size every 30lbs is a rule of thumb for me.

There is nothing wrong with carbs. Just try to stay away from the refined stuff. Try to get the bulk of your carbs from fruit, vegetables, and whole grains.

Weight loss is just about the calories, unfortunately there are no gimmicks. Fish oil is a good supplement in general, but it's more for heart health.

If you're under for the day, and not hungry, go to bed and just bank the difference. Being exactly at your calorie level every day is not important, as long as your weekly totals are where they need to be. You might feel hungrier than normal the next day, and can allow yourself an extra snack.

One Saturday morning jog, I passed by a walker. Feeling generous, I gave him the slightest of nods. The nod, was not returned. Never again.

Think lean meats. Grilled skinless boneless chicken breast is my go-to meal when I need a protein boost. If you are looking for something more snack-ready, try canned white albacore tuna in water (just eat it right out of the can).

The only reason a man would say that to his SO if he was no longer in love with them (or never was). It's just not possible to feel that way about someone you're in love with, let alone voice it. Unfortunately, men have a tendency to sabotage relationships they want to get out of, so they don't have to be the one that…

I'm in a similar boat. Just started running for cardio, was pleased with my progress, and started feeling knee pain (inner lower part of knee). It sucks but I think I just need to lay off for a while and heal before trying again. I'll be paying a lot more attention to my form next time, maybe get some new shoes, and try to…

Estimating exercise calories is just that, estimating. How accurate you want to be, relative to the amount of time you want to spend crunching numbers, is a personal decision. The easiest thing to do is just let MFP calculate it for you. The reason the MFP estimates are high is because it is an actual estimation of the…

Plateau's generally occur because of what I like to call "calorie creep." It's easy to let your eyes trick you into underestimating your portions, and they have a tendency to slip more and more with time. To combat this, you need to be vigilant about measuring and weighing your food. Weight loss is a simple matter of…

It's not the single day you go over calories that will hurt you, it's the frequency with which you have those "single" days. I try not to look at day-to-day as much as week-to-week. Just be honest about logging, and try to make up for over-indulgent days later or earlier in the week.
