  • It is low, but intentionally so... MFP also has goals for weekly time spent doing cardio activities, such as walking, running, etc. Doing an hour of walking will add in 300~ calories to your goal. Though, I'm curious as to what your eating, and speculative if you eat more fast-foods and empty calories than anything…
  • Healthy or over-weight... Fasting isn't 'nice' to your body... to say the least; mentally not nice, either. Will it hurt your metabolism? Kind of tricky question, but I would say this... (in my non-expertise opinion) Fasting for longer than a week will probably drop your metabolism. If you were a healthy individual before…
  • Ditto... That burn for people like myself is pretty high for one visit to the gym. I know some people go off the calorie counter on this site for the elyptical, but I think that's a HUGE mistake.. if that's what you're doing.
  • Easy answer? No. Weighing yourself every day indicates a thought process that your weight is more important than your health. Muscle weighs more than fat, does that mean to only do cardio? Flip no! Females need muscle just as much as males do. Whats more important is maintaining your food diary on here. Making sure you…
  • I don't know... Did you poop in the past before weighing? Did you pee last time before weighing? Did you weigh yourself in the morning or the after noon? Did you move the scale sine your last weigh in? Did your weigh yourself on a full moon?? ??? There are a lot of different reasons why you might have gained weight since…
  • Mmm... I've taken a few gender and culture classes while at college. If you look at Asian society, and the Lotus effect, you tend to find that Asain females are much more susceptible to a less 'frail' disposition in terms of body health. Yea, a body can get by without eating much, and for quite a long time, too... but is…
  • Eeeh.... I mean, I'm fairly certain you want to be within a 100 calories of your goal limit. The reason is that, should you be working out or have an active lifestyle, your body is looking to burn calories. However, if you're not feeding your body those calories (preferably from healthy foods, salads, juicing, etc) it…
  • Walk a lot - an hour a day for about 5 days out of the week. Use the Elliptical - At your current weight, its a good method to avoid injury/strain to your joints and back. This can also increase your heart's strength if you target specific goals (ex. set your target heart rate to 150~) I'd suggest biking as well, but if…
  • Or... just exercise 5 times out of the week normally, and you'll be set for all holidays!
  • If its not straight water, I don't log it.
  • One of my best friends is schooling to become a personal fitness, and I had the same conversation with me; mind you, he is in shape, if that matters. The only thing I could truly come to an understand is this (and its fairly straight forward)... If you don't eat, you wont have energy. If you don't have energy, you wont…
  • I generally try to stay below 2000 after I add in my workout. Workout generally puts me around 2500 for a calorie budget. Though, hell, if I have an upcoming event later that day that I know is going to have me eating/drinking a bit, I'll work out real hard earlier that day so I can enjoy the night later.
  • Its more a process of having your body burn that weight through it wanting to, and having the body force that weight. The later produces an effect where your body then wants to reserve as many calories as possible, because it 'feels' (light term for a complicated way the body processes signals) that it MUST retain as much…
  • Maybe o.o; I always found them to be to simplistic. Maybe you're talking ;bout all the breeding stuff? That gets fairly complicated.
  • YES! Thank you! Now if I can just find it in MFP database!
  • Nope! this one has handlebars in front. It's almost like you were gripping to very high oars on a boat, the motion is you moving those oars back and forth without actually moving your arms any, just crunching your abs and leaning back and forth.
  • Hey, welcome aboard! =] I don't know for certain, but I would imagine its just a numbers game at a certain point. For instance, if your allotted sugar consumption was 25 grams, and you consumed 60 grams, then yes you're probably hurting your odds. As where if your Sugar consumption is set to 40 grams and you had 50 grams…
  • Easy enough when determined to do it. Remember this; Buildings were never built by those unwilling to build! Right now, you're about to build an awesome building. =] Hope you the best of luck, and welcome back to Myfitnesspal! =]
  • "The point is, people in the past, especially in the martial arts community, look at me and say, you're fat. You need to lose weight" Probably because they knew they wouldn't win against you. ;P lol
  • I WILL BE YOUR WEIGHTLOSS BUDDY! Oh, caps lock, sorry. ;] But yeah, welcome aboard! I'll toss out my friendship flag. Hell, if we work hard enough maybe we'll have an icecream reward day? >:] The Deviousness! Lol
  • Easily done, and now you know you can do it! =] I'm positive with the right dedication you'll fly through your goals like a hot-knife through butter; or maybe like a hot-knife through 'I can't believe its not butter' butter? =o Either way =] Welcome aboard!
  • My best friend is freaking out over it, and so he's forcing me to get it to so that we can 'go to each other's village' - lol. I liked the one I played on the Gamecube though, so this should be ok, too!
  • Ditto, this game is amazingly fun and addictive. Myself and a few friends downloaded and played this 'at the same time' (they dont support multiplayer yet). It was incredibly hilarious hearing them over skype freak out when their characters were about to kick the bucket - lol.
  • Can I just find this at Wal-Mart or something? =o
  • Sweet, thanks for replying, its a bit of a relief to here a similar circumstance, too! just wasn't sure if I'd be harming my progression by eating to little, etc. Need this to get this train running!
  • Far be it for me to add anything to this since its been a few weeks since you posted the topic buuuut... I thought I might say a few things. 1) Eating only 800 calories a day? Why lose weight when all you're losing it for is an uncomfortable lifestyle? Imagine... to maintain that at her rate, she's going to have to…
  • I'd say that you could go to over a 100 fitness trainers, and all of them will tell you a different story. The more major things that tend to stick in all of the stories are these... -Health value of the food:: They tend to cook for themselves quite a bit, or make generally healthier choices when eating out -Amount:: They…
  • Hmm... I think I know what you might be looking for, luckily. You might try downloading Steam and looking under their 'Indie Game' Category. They don't contain a TON of replay value, but a lot of those games are of amazing quality! Here's one you might enjoy for a little bit. =] -Don't Starve: Simplistic in nature (title…
