When I go to my goals though it says guided updates automatically? How does this work then.

I get the TDEE -%method. TDEE includes daily activities and exercises already in it, so you don't ever eat your exercise calories back because the method already considers them. However I see two types of NEAT. One type people take there TDEE -%, that's what they eat, but they make their TDEE under sedentary (usually), and…

What types of doctors do you see? I would recommend a gynecologist if you don't have one already. It is normal to crave salt during your period. In fact it is normal to crave several different things during your period. Its your body telling you what it needs. Typically these things range from magnesium, to salt / water,…

I've never even heard of mueller, its not at my local grocery and I don't really remember seeing it at my closest Kroger either. XD

I lol'ed, thanks for the laugh :laugh:

I tried switching away from Dannon Light and Fit because people kept telling me the artificial sweeteners were bad for me. I tried so many natural / organic ones and they just don't taste as good to me. I have sense stopped worrying about it and just eat Dannon. I would not replace all sugar with artificial sugar, but…

"Cheat Day" for me will be days I go over my calorie deficit for the day. I don't really plan for them to be that often, special occasions and the like. However, I was reading some post and allot of people don't have cheat days but instead have "cheat meals," meaning, they went out to eat that day or had something they…

Its kinda hard to gauge what you lost on those types of exercises. Most people typically use a heart rate monitor for such things. Allot of websites will actually have an online calculator for you to use so you can estimate. You may want to try and see. If you find one you can then just add a custom exercise and input the…

What is your goal weight loss per week? If its 2 that can be too big of an adjustment at once for some people, and you should maybe switch it to 1 pound a week until you can adjust your routine. Then eventually up it back up to 2 pounds a week. Finding something to occupy boredom is also important, maybe try to develop a…

Proper use of measuring utensils (cups, tbs, etc.) and using a food scale is extremely important. Log everything correctly, you are usually eating more than you think. Many exercise calories are overestimated. If your using online calculators take off 33 - 50%. Heart Rate Monitors are pretty trustworthy as long as you keep…

My goal is to lose 68 pounds so that I can be at the top end of a healthy BMI. To me health is the primary concern and aiming for a good BMI seemed like the most logical way to obtain my goal weight. 68 pounds is a lot and I have no real time frame I want to lose it. I'm just starting my second week of being on…

I'm sorry for your loss, I sent you a friend request. I'm new to the site and would love some motivation as well. :) Anyone can feel free to send me an invite as well.

sp? does that stand for spell check? The proper spelling of my name is Yorria Raine lol. Its an online persona I've used for years now in various video games because I do allot of podcast and tournaments and I don't really like people calling me by my real name. I just carried it over to mfp. :laugh: Personally I let…

What was your goal for the week? In terms of pounds loss you put into myfitnesspal? If you put 2 pounds and this is the net they give you I would try to reach the weekly total (its ok to go over or under some days). To be honest its perfectly fine from the sounds of it though because as long as you do not go below 1200 net…

I am also a supporter of the polar series, and the ft4 model after doing allot of research, but keep in mind you can upgrade to the ft7 for like 5 bucks more on amazon. I ordered a ft7 myself today, will be here friday :)
-
I still drink regular cocoa-cola but I make it a special treat one day of the week because it takes allot out of my total carbs for the day. Other than that to be honest I do not drink many normal drinks besides water. I "drink" my green smoothie every morning which is usually strawberry/mango flavored, which is good, if…
-
Because they taste good? Oranges are such a treat for me, I absolutely love them, I just log them accordingly. I did give up orange juice, because I think its important to have fiber with the sugars nowadays, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with oranges. Also, despite being "sour water," it has nutrients in it that…
-
Diet changes can lead to bloating. Also, allot of times, even when juicing, its better to pair veggies with some sorta fat. I personally have green smoothies (fiber still in), that contain a little bit of coconut oil.
-
Most people have good intentions in my opinion, simply saying thank you and that you will think about it tends to get people off my back. I do however, have one friend who consistently is bugging me to go paleo, and while I have nothing against that diet (she has several reasons to be on it), there is no medical reason why…

There are allot of things we don't know about you that effect the answer. Like what your net calorie goal is. However, keep in mind is it is generally not safe to have below 1200 net calories (calories in - burned calories). So just keep that in mind. Generally, especially if you have 2 pounds as your goal, you don't want…

The polar ones have a really good track record for being accurate in terms of calories burned. The only negative thing about the cheaper models such as the ft4 and ft7 is it estimates vo2max rather than do test. On men it does not matter much (single digit errors) but on women it was discovered in a small study that the…

Is it detecting your heart rate at all? If your using one with a chest strap you need to wet the strap part that touches your skin. If it detects your heart rate but does not tell you your burning calories, sounds like a malfunction in the hrm. You could send it in under warranty more than likely if its under a year old.…

To be honest sugars from fruits and veggies shouldn't be too much of a concern because they are wholeful foods. If your after weight loss (I'm assuming you are because you are in the weight loss section :P) all that really matters is that you don't go over your net calorie goal. That being said, if your finding your over…
-
wait, what? I'm shorter than you and "alot" overweight too but my "maintain current weight" is 2200 calories and that's for sedentary activity (sitting on my butt all day). However I am only 23 so maybe that makes a difference. When you go into "my goals, under my home." They show you what you burn naturally burn everyday…
-
I would honestly get the foods you like there and not worry about it if it is not something you do often. In terms of logging, log everything else you ate that day but I would not personally bother logging the dinner as there is no real way of knowing most of the time how much your really eating calories wise. Just make a…
-
I just started, but I know realistically there are gonna be some days I go over. I'm still gonna log them but I realize some days I set myself back from my goal, I just have to learn not to let it be a common occurrence. Like today for instance, this is the first time I've had homemade hot chocolate in a while (its -5…

Guys, this is silly. Maybe he wants to eat the food. There is no reason why he can't have food he likes in the house. Learning self control is part of the process of learning to live a better lifestyle.
-
In terms of the initial post, I"m not sure what comments your referring to. If they are negative, maybe talk to him about it and say that your doing this for your health and you would like his support. However as far as food goes you need to keep these things in mind. 1) Maybe he wants to eat it 2) maybe he bought the food…

sounds weird but you could bring a 10lb dumbell into work and in your home and test both they are right though, typically harder surfaces are better

Each person has their own things they are attracted to, you cannot generalize an entire sex's preference. The stress to reach perfection reaches both sexes. When it comes to self image, in my own opinion, there are only two things you need to worry about. Your health and your heart. No amount of beauty can disguise an ugly…
