Does anyone else have any insights on this matter? (I'm happy to report that I'm down now 80 lbs since joining MFP by the way :))

Well this is a question I've had for a while, actually. I started lifting in April or so, when I weighed about 15 lbs more than I do now. At first, it was low intensity, high reps (12-15) lifting just intended for tone. Then I shifted to something a bit more balanced (mid intensity, 12 reps top). I haven't lifted…

Thanks for your reply. :) The thing is except when I'm biking to class or explicitly working out, I am pretty sedentary. I like being on the computer and I tend to not be doing much activity while working (I'm a writer, so yeah). But I didn't know if "moving up" on that scale would be possible given that.

Okay, so I've been plugging along at this whole MFP thing since mid-April, and to date I've lost about 45 lbs. :) I don't know if this is in the right forum though, so feel free to move it if it isn't. Now, I know it gets harder as you get closer to your goal weight so I'm trying to not mess this up. I'm really most…

I know this gets asked all the time, but MFP doesn't seem to have a sticky feature for the message board. Anyway, just using some round numbers, say I burn 2500 calories a day according to my BMR, and I have a diet target of 1500 calories per day, with 1000 calories per week of exercise thrown in. I know the consensus is…

I just started a little over a week ago; I already lost about 7 lbs. :) While I don't expect that to happen every week (or really again), it was a nice boost. Meal tracking on this site has been a pretty new experience but I'm glad to see it's apparently pretty accurate. I do have a couple of questions that may help me…
