Usually the purpose of the fast is to increase spiritual sensitivity and awareness. I am of the Christian faith, leaning more toward the charismatic side. The rules can vary as well... I am currently on a fast where I'm eating soup, mainly creamed soups without much solid substance content. Other times the fasts can…

It varies between 3 to 21 days

tried it... i've tried alot of the "weight loss" assist supplements... none of them worked for me... But hey.... I've probably just got some kind of supernatural immunity to them...LOl. As far as I remember, they all say something to the effect of, "effective when used with a strict reduced calorie diet and regular…

I've been a bit of a bad boy... I haven't used my MFP for several months, but now I'm back and ready to hit it again. I would like to lose about 20-25 more pounds. some extra motivation would be great. Add me, please.

Anyone feel free to add me if you like. :-)

Ummm. No.

right... fixed. thanks.

Wow! There's some really great responses here! I'm touched by many of them. Thanks for sharing.

I don't think you know enough about me to make that statement.

^^^ This. Thank you.

I think what the OP is saying (and I should know, because I am the OP) is that we should be much more discriminating about who we take advice from, especially on open forums such as this one where contradictory information from every end of the spectrum flies around at the speed of light. If you don't know who is giving…

conversely... (not overcomplicating the statement)... then, take advice from people who are doing worse than you. Is that better?

I'm just trying to solve this problem... :smile:

That's exactly my point. Glad you caught that. :-)

I am trying to burn fat / lose weight. My calorie goal has been adjusted. It was 1240. Today, I did a TDEE, BMR and IIFYM calculation and adjusted some numbers. I thinks it's a bit high, actually at 1893. Probably won't hit that most of the time, but then again, I'm not really counting my exercise either. Still trying to…

Log everything, or die!!!

Making macro adjustments.... IIFYM calculations done... We'll see how it goes.

Point well taken.

really the problem I have with macros is what I'm experiencing this morning. I've had a bowl of raisin bran had a bowl of ramen noodles and I'm already 10 grams over my carbs. I have almost 900 calories remaining to eat and I'm a long way off from my protein requirement. So there's no way I'm not going to completely…

Haha. Do you use the bar code scanner on the app for that? Lol

It's like a foundation to me... Like a do not go below kinda number. I know my BMR calls for a few hundred more, but it helps my brain to set it lower. It helps me avoid shattering it completely on a regular basis. Plus, in pretty new at this macro style nutrient plan, so I'm still working to get used to the best kind of…

Okay well, my personal macro goal does not call for an excessive amount of carbs. and like Forrest Gump would say, "And that's all I have to say about that."

oh and by the way, I really don't believe in bad food either. But I do believe that eating a lot of high calorie, high carbohydrate foods is a bad idea, especially if you're trying to lose weight.

haha. I'm not suggesting not logging something. All I'm suggesting is that logging it puts it into your food database. Which means when you tap that same meal tomorrow, that same food pops up in the options. Therefore it would be easier to eat the same thing (as far as logging everything goes) then it would be to find a…
