  • Nice to meet you! I am going to steal your weekly layout. I hope it goes well for us both!
  • I've not done exercise yet but I've never seen MFP give calories before I've done anything. Literally just wokeup, went downstairs to brew tea and checked the app to see I have had 66 calories deducted from my daily allowance
  • I am not an iphone user and wouldn't be interested in something as complex as an Apple watch. The problem is, for me at least, those devices are very focused on what I would consider special feature: text messages, music control, NFC payments, etc. I just want something that ill accurately count my steps, monitor my heart…
  • It is called moderation. These really aren't that bad depending on the context. If the kids have good nutrition at home on a regular basis and can have cookies for snack, is that bad? Even if the kids eat Lucky Charms for breakfast , have these snacks (many of which aren't that bad, sorry), and then have a pre-prepaired…
  • I love the help I am getting. I was afraid I was going to be yelled at for not understanding what I am doing. Again, I truly appreciate everything. I cannot eat during my second job, which is why I am skipping lunch. I have to work more than 4 hours to get a food break and they don't care that I work 3 hours beforehand. My…
  • Wow! I am getting a lot of useful help! Thank you so much, guys. First, I'd like to thank Brandolin11 for that excellent math. I had tried to do a BMR once but I did not calculate everything well and it was based on this "lose 20lbs in one month" nonsense I was desperate enough to try. I will try to remove using as much…
  • I would like to thank everybody for their input. I think I also need to clarify some things: When I mentioned that I was logging my my calories, I was not doing so online. I was doing so in a written journal and decided to begin again on here, where I would have access to better resources. I do not like things too buttery,…
  • Also: I think part of problem in the beginning was because I was limiting myself to 1,000 calories a day, which may not have been enough for my body to begin to want to let go of fat. I am trying not to eat at a very specific calorie intake but still am conscious of what I eat.
  • I understand that weight loss is all about calories but its just not that simple. There is to it than calorie in, calories out. I have logged my meals down to each of the gummy vitamins I consumed daily (15 calories for two) and increased my activity and still-- NOTHING. My 10,000 step or more daily walks during good…
  • Thank you! I did read that link, actually, before joining this site. It is part of why I wanted to join. Although I find it useful, I don't think I quite know what to do still. I see everyone around me eating what they want when they want to and not exercising like I do but remaining at the weight I want to be at. I've…
