THANKS A LOT!!!!! This makes a lot of sense. I know the numbers I should be following. Seriously, I'll do it. Starting today, I'm 'uping' (can I say that? Is that a real word?) my daily calorie intake.

Exactly, I know it's wrong! And I need to be convinced to do otherwise.

Great news!!!

You have no idea!! You're supposed to stay thin and healthy while being able to eat wonderfully tasty calories loaded food three times a day. Because it's "part of the culture"!

Lol. Yup, you brits never generalize when it comes to those frenchies. :wink: [/quote] And of course, that wasn't a generalisation! :wink: But I get where you were going with that. And entirely agree with your original post. I've lived in France, and stay with French friends on occasion. The way of eating is ingrained. And…

Hi! Feel free to add me. I talk all the time. Both in real life and on MFP. Vanessa

OH MY! You look so much younger!

Bump

I'm here daily and looooove to chat! Add me if you want!

Somewhere between Jennifer Lawrence and Kim Kardashian!

Of course, nobody needs to have lost 30lbs to help me. I was just pointing out the fact that I did it, so far, without any knowledge about health and fitness whatsoever. From what I understant, in any case, I shouldn't eat less than my BMR, so 1200 calories seems to low. I'll try to up it a little bit. Thanks!

I'll recalculate my TDEE, you're right. But, suddenly, it seems that I can eat so much calories daily. It's awful how sometimes I get basically afraid to eat...

I agree with you. Eating back my calories burned seems the right thing to do. If I don't that means that some days I live on 800 or 900 calories. Seems really low!

Thank you for pointing out that I should give any method the proper time to show if it works or not! I always tend to want see results overnight wich, of course, never happens...

So far, I was on a 1200 calories/day diet. Regardless of any workouts I'm might have done on a given day.

I weigh in ALL THE TIME! Supposedly it's the worst thing to do but it works wonder for me. By all the time, I mean every day, twice a day. In the morning so I know what where I'm starting from this day and before I go to bed at night so I can roughly estimate what I can expect for the following day and not be to…

I'd say: "I'm addicted to you"!!! Videos, podcasts, interviews, books, everything! I know some people have very strong bad feelings about her for endorsing weight loss products or being a bully, or allegedly taking male hormones or cocaine or whatever. I KNOW that I don't know if she does. She's not my mother, sister,…

Exactly!!! Fitness people exist, they look awesome. Fine, we know it. We also need to FEEL awesome. And that's a state of mind...

I'm impressed!! Keep doing whatever is it you're doing. OBVSIOULY, it works!

If I may, don't see it as day 1 again. You probably know better by now than you did on your actual day 1. Knowledge is power, everything's going to be fine!!

You look great! And that dress is perfect on you!

We don't have to be 'nice'; you look awesome!!!

Congrats on your third baby!!! I'm actually trying to get into good shape before baby number 1...

I'll be honest too. Yesterday was kind of "Goodbye to awfully fat food" day. I've had a (few) servings of Nutella. I don't know if Nutella is sold in the US, but basically it's like the worst thing you can put into your body when you try dieting. It's an hazelnut/chocolate spread you put on crackers or bread or anything…

Hello Everyone, Thank you all for the messages. I'm new here and trying to figure out exactly how the website works (i.e. how to know somebody answered a thread I started...). English only is my second language and I apologize for the mistakes you're bound to find when i write. I'm really glad I found MFP, seems so helpful!

Waouh! I'm impressed!!! You look young and so much more peaceful!
