  • Ur body needs half its weight in ounces of water a day...12cups for alot of people is still to few. Im 249lbs, I need 15 to 16. I drink 20 to 24cups a day (most days..unless im really super busy then I might not get to my 16cup goal)... u need extra water if u drink anything with caffeine, excercise, or have too much…
  • For skin elasticity, drink 1/2 ur body weight in ounces of water a day, use lotions such as jergens age dedying that has vitamins a, e, and c in them when u get out of shower, and while in the shower use soaps that have the samee, and eat foods high in vitamin a,c,e,k,omegas, etc and do strength training... sometimes it…
  • If ur at all like me and worried about excess skin, then incorporate strength training into anything u can, it helps the skin tighten...if u walk, walk with 3lb dumbbells in each hand, as an example. Not enough to look all muscley, just enough to tone... weight lifting few pound weights, crunches (start by doing them in…
  • Caffeine depletes ur water...u need water to lose. We have enough sodium in food already, don't need it in drinks too. Diet soda is worse for ur body than regular soda so if u must drink it, drink regular, as a occasional treat...but remember the serving size, sugar content and calories that u r wasting on something that…
  • Alot of places don't have websites/list info though...u don't need to ever freak out, wether it be a new place or one uve been to, ur the one whole controls how u order... salad with no croutons, viniagrette on the side, eaten with ur fork dipped in the dressing each bite instead of pouring on salad... side salad instead…
  • after looking at your diary... youve got to be tired of protein shakes. i just looked at today.. you have only protein shakes, soup, and coffee pretty much lol. id like to take the oppurtunity to say that coffee depletes the water in your system, so its important to drink even more water if your going to drink caffeine..…
  • yes, i had problems at first as well with this because at first i did alot of no fat items and low claorie everything... but you need to learn to balance... higher calorie items, like nuts, rice, large potatoes, the higher calorie fruit--like a large banana, (natural) peanut butter, beans.. adding in something as simple as…
  • If your settings are at 2lbs a week, then u will lose weight as long as you don't go over ur calories by more than 1000. If ur at 1lb a week, then don't go more than 500 over and u will still lose weight..and if ur at half pound a week, then don't go more than 250 calories over what mfp tells u.... u don't always want to…
  • Id like to say that 7pm is not some cut off point that's the same for everyone... if u go to bed at 10pm, then yea, don't eat past 7, but if ur like me, who goes to bed at midnight, then you can eat up until 9pm...never eat within 3hours of bed, whatever time that may be for you. Also, ur night snack shouldn't be carbs…
  • Ur body wont go into starvation mode after a few hours...ur body goes into starvation mode if ur consistantly staying under 1200 net calories... yes, ur metabolism slows down and ur not burning calories like u should, but its not because of starvation mode...starvation mode takes days, if not weeks to get in to. Ur…
  • As long as u keep in mind that ur metabolism runs its fastest if u eat 6x a day and not eating for several hours will slow down ur metabolism and that u wont burn as many calories for ur bigger dinner... id snack throughout the day, instead of meals, to gain extraa dinner calories... like a granola bar for breakfast, a…
  • Im in st. Helens oregon, which is north of you, along the washington border...actually im in deer island, which is a rural area, but st. Helens is where I look for work, shop, eat, etc.. were about 40miles apart, depending on where u live exactly :-) I notice u like going to concerts...not sure what type of music ur into,…
  • Is it fruits and veggies that made you go over, or is it something u splurged on? Higher sodium can make u temporarily, over night, go up several pounds. Also if u excercise, u can go up pounds too, because ur body pulls in water to heal broken cells. Also, being a girl, ur weight fluctuates throughout the month; I go up a…
  • Totals: 60/30burpees 800/500climbers 1304/400oz of water (estimated todays intake seeing as how I drink up until 9pm pst). 6/3 communications No weight loss.
  • Thanks. Its harder for u to lose weight because bigger people burn more calories while excercising..were pullin around an extra 100lbs all the time. I might've burned 300calories doing an activity at 300lbs, but at 150lbs maybe id only burn 50 calories doing exact same activity. Also the calorie intake is different and…
  • He did that because he is bigger. Bigger people can lose alot quicker. I've lost over 63lbs in 6months, because I started at 313. At my 3week mark I was down in the 200s. More water weight and bigger shock on the body, etc... I doubt any smaller person would see these types of results. If I had started at 213 instead, no…
  • The last 30lbs people have to lose come off the slowest, I think a good number for most of those people that have just 30lbs to lose is about 5lbs a month...sometimes more, sometimes less. Its completely healthy to lose 20lbs in 4months, u shouldn't try to lose more than 10 a month. Just eat well and it will come off, and…
  • Ok, my ads right now r headache medicine and espn..a minute ago it was kids cereal.. im on a newly formatted station and haven't went to anything on the internet except myfitnesspal and one yahoo search for red lobster to see details on there endless shrimp deal...that is literally it since the format...so unless the kids…

  • AA calorie is a calorie. u can get full off 500calories a day in nothing but salad, but ur body needs around 1200calories to function...and can still go into starvation mode even if your completely stuffed.
  • Vegetable oil, etc is bad for u and I believe that is what the butter flavor one has in it. Also if u spray it directly on food, it wont taste right because of the propellants that give it the ability to come out of spray can, and I can't imagine propellants being good for u... it is a cooking spray, not a food spray. I…
  • Just so u know, drinking lowers ur metabolism...after 5 or 6 drinks u have no metabolism left at all, and shouldn't eat while drinking cuz ur body doesn't process it like normal..id walk to the store, eat the nuts on the way back, wait a bit, and then drink the wine. Also alcohol depletes water in ur system, so be sure to…
  • I flipped a car 4x, 4yrs ago today and the seat belt buckle went into my hip..no amount of stretching helps me because the soft tissue and muscle damage...the swelling from where the buckle impacted has never went down, so u can visable see the damage at all times.
  • 4th place. Under 5lbs more and I wouldve taken home the $300
  • I dont have any seeing im much larger, but it may help to list where you are from... seeing as this site is world wide, someone in, lets say, oregon in the united states like where im from, wont ahve a way to drop off to someone, in lets say, the UK....
