  • Okay, I'm so confused can I message you? My BMR is 1936, but MFP calculated 1200. I am 194.8 and want to get down to 145. I'm 5'5" and the majority of my fat is in my butt and thighs. Not that you needed that last bit of information! I usually burn betwen 500-900 calories a day. Spinning class. help me please. I'm pumped…

  • You are gonna get a lot of different ops on this; some say eat, others say don't. I say eat half for a week and see how it goes for you. DO NOT depend on MFP for accurate calories burn. It's best to have a HRM or Body Bugg. MFP, says I burn close to 900 calories in a 50 minute spin class. Although spin is a high calorie…

  • I just wanted to add, to read the label on the Stevia in regular supermarkets (like Shop n Slave) it always include and "ose" added which doesn't make it pure. I use sweet leaf stevia, it's as pure as you can get, besides the "all green" stevia. I buy it from the health food store or whole foods. Gonna consider the pure…

  • It's different for everyone. My 1 friend loves it, my other friend hated it (she lost her hair and gained 40 pounds). I gained 20, was moody, had insomnia so bad that I only slept 4 hours a night. As soon as I took it out everything went back to normal. I still gained, but that was from the BC I was put on. I have been off…

  • I agree with everyone. I have high BP on both sides of my family. We all eat wrong. Just lose 5 pounds will significantly reduce your BP ONLY if your sodium intake has dropped as well. I'm assuming it has with the great weight loss that you have had. Also, I switched to sea salt (not iodized sea salt) and I use that…
    in How much loss before BP is affected? Comment by candiigraham July 2011
  • It works, it really does. You can lose a ton of weight. BUT.......... you can't keep it off, because in reality who can stick to a 500 cal a day-diet. So, you spend $70 or $120 on drops/shots a month, for what and for how long. Is there any long term benefit to it - NO. As soon as you start to eat your regular calorie…

  • I am in the same boat. I had a banana and fat free yogurt and I am in the red. I'm not gonna worry about it right now. I have 35 pounds to lose and that needs my immediate attention. I am thinking about removing it from my tracker

  • Glad I got to read this at the beginning of my journey. Helps prevent me from pulling out my hair if I stall. As Oprah has said, "The scale is not your friend"!!!

  • I think you should send a private message asking her to call you or for her # and call her. Let her know the commute was to much to tell her in person and that you would still like to be buddies. That way you can brag.....I mean talk about MFP and she can talk about WW.
