  • You can have those extra calories, but first you have to earn them with exercise! Have you set up your daily calorie goal here on MFP? If you don't have a goal set, you're just shooting into the wind with no direction. This will give you the guideline you need to get to where you want to go!

  • I just picked up this digital scale by recommendation on sale at Amazon. $21 shipped! It pretty much has all the features I'll need, and I am hoping it will allow me to more accurately measure my portions. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003E7AZQA/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

  • Thanks Shyjaan! I hope it helps you out too. I think I am about to order the one that GGDaddy recommended to me. It's cheap, and looks like it has all the functions I would need it to have.

  • Absolutely ok for you to do so, but just start out slow. When you build more muscle, you'll be able to burn more fat. Just don't go crazy and hurt yourself. As for reading material, I don't have any suggestions as of now. I used to watch The Biggest Loser on TV all the time, and I know there were some folks around your…

  • Busted my butt all week long, and this evening I am attending a cousin's wedding, so I'll probably have a bit more calories today that I normally wouldn't! Looking forward to having some fun!

  • Cheat days are necessary in my mind. If you don't allow yourself 1 cheat day per week, you will binge at some point. So, allow yourself to do it. It's psychologically good for you.

  • Same here. I know there will be up and down fluctuations, but I like it for the data and the graphs that MFP shows.

  • I have noticed with exercise, my appetite has gone through the roof too. I could eat a horse. Just keep it in check and stay under your calorie count if you are looking to lose the weight.

  • While I do agree with the others that "Yes, it does technically count as intake", it's not the best because of those artificial sweeteners. I would suggest, as others have, spritzing it with lime, or lemon... something natural. Not only will it taste better, but a lot of things that you add to water can actually have…

  • To the OP, I am doing something called Crossfit. It's a lot of fun, and it incorporates both cardio and weight lifting. If you don't know much about it, do a search on Google. There will be tons of hits on it. I go to a dedicated Crossfit center, and they are pricey (more-so than just a regular gym membership) but I've…
