  • MFP bases your weight loss goals off the top. Your calorie goal, aka your NET calorie goal is what you want to be at come the end of the day. If your goal is 1440, you need to be at 1440 NET calories to assume that 2 lbs per week (or whatever you set your goal as). This is marked as healthy weight loss. If you're dropping…

  • I eat my meals before. I easily get 2x the energy and results from the work out than if I wait until after.

  • I decided to change my life the day I got married. I made a plan to quit smoking, give myself 4 months to recoup, then start losing weight. Got married October 1st and haven't touched a cigarette since. Some say that people can't "just quit", but it's a willpower choice that you have to make. No one "needs" gum or patches,…

  • Start stir-frying meals, and get some asian sauces from the store. It'll coat everything and kill the taste.

  • All you oatmeal lovers will despise me. -Blueberry bagel -2 eggs -slice of cheddar -little cream cheese -splash of hot sauce Sandwich-licious and very messy. That egg never wants to stay in the bagel; I blame the cream cheese lube. Breakfast is my 'kicker' meal of the day though. Fills me up for half of lunch as well.

  • I'd do Vasaline. You won't like the flavor, and it may curb frequent use.

  • So if you eat 1200 calories a day, then exercise 1200 calories a day, you'll be ok? Because at that point, your body gets NOTHING. Not 1 calorie of nourishment. You know what happens when you get no nourishment and your body eats away at stored fat? THAT'S CALLED STARVATION. Your body eats itself to continue to survive.…

  • The problem is that you're ignorant in your calorie goal structure. Obviously you don't understand what MFP is doing, and you create your own theories to suit that ignorance. If your goal is to lose 2 lbs per week, and you have set MFP to reflect that, then YES, you eat your exercise calories back. Let's dumb this down so…

  • Try manually setting through PC. Up top- My Home> Goals > Change Goals. Should reconfigure once you punch in numbers, else you can do it manually. Hope it helps.

  • You're not going to just fall into "Starvation Mode" by taking in less calories that is listed for you. It's not something that just happens out of the blue, but instead takes weeks of very low intake. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/175608-starvation-mode-is-a-myth-the-science If you're losing weight, I'd stick…
