  • thanks. i dont log ALL my exercise activity ( i do walk every day and dont log all of it, per my nutritionist's advice). but maybe i should start doing that since walking is a big part of my daily routine. thanks for the input. i dont want to take the shortcut way of losing weight, b/c im in no major rush. the only thing…

  • thanks...my dr has been checking for hypothyroidism but i regularly get conflicting results from my dr and endo (on 2 occassions they took the same blood test a couple days apart and the T4 (i think) was 6 for one blood test and 3 for the other- which is the diff between slightly above normal, and normal).... my…

  • thank you for your insight! i do often walk 45-60 min (try to do this several days a week) and do enjoy it but i wonder if i need to be pushing myself more. i can also ask mfp to set my weight loss to 2lbs/week and like you said, if im hungry, eat.

  • yes, that is the one thing i am certain on (i weigh everything and put in all my meals into mfp the day before). im wondering if either my calculated tdee/ bmr are just not "normal" and ive have been basing this off a calculation that isnt right for me. is that possible?

(FYI, i was on a business trip last…

  • im curious b/c i've been thinking about doing this at my Y- how does your personal trainer work with groups? Does the trainer spend some time with everyone, or do you actually do sit ups, etc all at the same time?

  • great job on how much you've accomplished already on your swims! I generally swim a mile and used to just “swim” with no changing up my routine, and this got boring pretty fast. Recently I tried a couple things that i believe made my workouts more efficient and more interesting. First, i swim 2-3 days a week and each swim…
