The first solution on MFP is always to dump the man. When a woman writes that her boyfriend does not support her weight loss goals, and instead keeps trying to get her to eat cupcakes, the people here all scream "Dump your boyfriend." But when a woman writes that her boyfriend is not only supportive but actually tries to…

My target is 1650 (500 calories deficit). I occasionally go over 3000. Once in a great while, I am over 4000. But I often find that the next day, I am not hungry at all, and the day after that I am only slightly hungry. So even on those really bad days, it averages out okay over about 3 or 4 days.

What are you confused about? You ate, and your weight went up. You worked out, and your weight went down. Seems intuitive to me. The only thing that looks odd is the 6/10 of a pound you lost by working out. You would need to burn 2100 calories for that to occur.

Log everything. Walk. Make small changes to what you eat. Walk a little more. Make a few more small changes to what you eat. Walk a little more. Repeat as needed.

I don't run. I do listen to music.

It is safe to say that I love Quarter Pounder with Cheese and Supersize Fries.

If a woman tells me that she doesn't want candy, and I give her candy, I'M SCREWED because I didn't listen to her. If a woman tells me that she doesn't want candy, and I DON'T give her candy, I'M SCREWED because I didn't understand what she really wanted. Either way, she's going to tell all of her friends -- and the entire…

I started losing in my arms first, and then my hips and beltline. But right at my belly button stayed the same size for a long time. Ironically, that made me look fatter than I used to be -- my belly was hanging more over my belt after I lost weight. So my pants were several sizes smaller, but my belly remained stubborn.…

Wow, I think Renley is naked in that picture. I think that's the first actual naked picture I have seen on MFP.

The key is to find an exercise program that YOU WILL DO. Some people find that joining a gym helps motivate them because they have to schedule it. Others find it a hassle to go to the gym so they quit working out. Some people are able to work in daily exercises at home on their own, or with a workout DVD or youtube video,…

I've had a similar issue recently. My office has a weekly team meeting and lunch on Friday, and it usually sets me off for the whole weekend. Like you, I eat everything in sight. However, knowing that I am going to eat everything in the house, I make sure that I have a good mix of stuff -- nuts, granola, oatmeal, veggies,…

Hi Poly, Please fill out your profile. Lots of people like to make friends with others who have things in common. When you don't post a profile, it's hard to know anything other than what you posted in this thread. Putting info in your profile allows people to start those conversations that you want.

Ah yes, the little chicken face. That's the "Small Fry" pan. I cooked 2 eggs in mine today. It's perfect for 1 or 2 eggs.

You can SEE the difference. Don't worry about the scale. Your weight is only one key number. Your measurements are also important, how far you can walk or jog, how much you can lift, what size your pants are, etc., are also key numbers. Don't focus on any one number.

There is no such thing as a fat burner. There are calories in and there are calories out.

Show your pic. That makes it easier than just reading 3 numbers (or 6, based on the math problems in the OP).

I log everything. I figure that a binge day is just one calorie data point in a week. The issue is not just how many calories I get in a day, but how many in a week, how many over time, etc. I had around 3800 calories this past Friday -- 2200 over my target. So I am trying to cut 1100 on Saturday and 1100 on Sunday -- I am…

Weight loss is simple: Calories In minus Calories out. Eat at a deficit and you lose. The greater your deficit, the faster your weight loss pace. You could be on an all-Twinkie diet, as long as you are in caloric deficit. General nutrition is not that simple. It involves making sure you get the right balance of…

"Pervy" derives from the word "perverse" but that makes no sense whatsoever in this context. Nature made men and women to be attracted to each other in order to reproduce and maintain the species. That is a fundamental part of biology. Any species that does not reproduce becomes extinct. So if a man looks at a women as a…

I know lots of guys who track that level of detail about their cars. Gas consumption, tire pressure, oil change, oil color, coolant color, tire wear, and much more. I wonder if your physician would say that all those guys are OCD.

Howdy Wanta. Happy Chinese New Year! You should start by filling out your profile and posted a picture. People will add you as Friends if they have things in common with you, e.g., from the same area, similar hobbies, common family situations, and so forth. Also, a picture never hurts. You use the Food Diary to track your…
