I'm in. I'm more college ball, but I have a FF team every year to make pro ball more interesting. A food challenge will certainly help curb munching on all the goodies at football gatherings!

I second the "take a break" thinking. Last week I was just TIRED...the week before I pushed it and worked out hard for 5 days. So last Friday, I decided to take the whole weekend off. First time in a long time that I took 3 consecutive days off. It felt good, tho my guilt was horrible. So Monday's workout felt GREAT, and…

Just wanted to say I started gradually upping my cals around mid-March, and the scale wouldn't budge. Altho it scared me to death, last week I upped it again, to 900 below my TDEE. Since then, I've lost OVER a pound! I'm hoping this is the beginning of many more losses! I truly believe adding strength training into my…

I've been told to watch out for artificial sweeteners and see if the whey is from grass-fed cows. Until I can get to GNC (I refuse to order anything I haven't tasted) I've just been using CVS-brand powder. It's not too bad!

Just what I needed to read! I've lost only 1 lb in the last month and am SO DISCOURAGED, but I haven't given up, haven't slacked off, and WILL lose weight, it just might not come off as easy for me. I will persevere!!!!

Bump to read later. THANKS!

I too felt a bit deceived by MFP, but once I changed my goal to 1 pound a week and increased my activity level (you're not sedentary if you exercise 3-5 x a week), it put my calories right around my BMR. I now eat that, and eat back all or most of my exercise cals, and I've lost 2 lbs! The thing is, everyone's looking for…

I'm willing to bet you still are not eating enough! Go to www.health-calc.com and figure out your BMR. Do not eat below that, and eat back your exercise cals!

Hi, I'm new and scared too. But plateauing for the last 3 weeks is not to be ignored, and last week I really started feeling weak, achy, and hungry most of the time, but especially like an hour after dinner. I've been seriously trying to lose since 1/2/12, and have lost 13lbs which to me is awesome, but I have so far to go…

Thank you for posting this...this information is exactly what I've been looking for after reading several posts about the importance of looking at BMR and TDEE. I realized I am eating too little (was at 1220, now at 1235, will increase again next week). I thought being aggressive with my weight loss goals each week would…

I'm willing to bet it's a combo of two things: 1. You're not eating enough, and 2. You need to switch up your exercises. Go to this site and plug in your info on the left-hand side: http://www.cordianet.com/calculator.htm and pay close attention to CALORIC NEED. I don't know where this 1200 calorie diet came from, but it's…

20% of my BMR is 1234 20% of my TDEE is 1984 That's a pretty big gap...do I set it to somewhere in the middle, and just not eat back my exercise calories? Why is this crap so confusing??!?!?

Good luck today. I would definitely say my hypo has led to a slow weight loss...I'm doing everything else right, but some weeks i don't lose anything! So frustrating! Let us know what the doctor says...hopefully he/she will be able to help you!

Until you want to get them resized, dental floss or medical tape works! I need to do this soon!

(First post. HI!) 1. Yesterday I completed day 1 of Couch to 5K on the treadmill with no problems. In fact, I think I might skip ahead to week 2...I didn't realize how in shape the elliptical has made me! 2. When stretching, I usually feel my tummy and gauge how much is sticking up over my hip bones. Last night, I realized…

These are awesomely HUGE victories, are you kidding me?? And yes, the side-by-side really shows a difference...I could not be prouder of you. You have been and continue to be such an inspiration to a lot of us...we love you Sab! I can't wait to be out of the obese category too!
