Duh, totally forgot to add a picture, hope this works

Actually HRM really aren't meant for strength training, just steady cardio. That's why your bike burn was the same. When you strength train your HR goes up and down all the time and it can and does mess with the HRM calculations

Is there a reason you want to watch sodium? As long as you drink water it doesn't really matter. Look at me for example. I'm always 1000 or more mg over sodium and it hasn't hurt me whatsoever

This is the only post you need to listen to. All other answers are pointless

You've lost 50 pounds already, I don't see a need to change what you're doing but if you want, you just eat lower calorie meals. For example instead of eating three 600 calorie meals, you can eat six 300 calorie meals. I don't do this because I get more hungry at night so I eat a larger dinner.

If you're really being honest, it has to be medical. Seek another doctor. Because if it isn't medical, you're simply eating, on average, 3500 calories over your BMR which you seem to know you are not.

Not having fast food all the time. I've had it twice in the 2 months I've started MFP and I always make sure it fits in my calories. Also no soda. Just empty unnecessary calories. Cutting those out I sometimes feel like I HAVE to eat so I don't have such a huge deficit

You can eat WHATEVER you want as long as it fits in your calories.

You aren't being accurate somewhere because if you were really eating only 1200 calories you would be losing TOO much weight. With 20 pounds to go, you should should for between .5 lbs per week and 1 lb per week. Your calories would be between 1600 and 1700. The only way to be accurate is to get a food scale and be 100%…

In that case it'd be even more. Around 1600 calories. Play around with this website scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ It'll give you the best information Also forgot to add, your BMI is already on the lower end of healthy. Going to 130 would really be the lowest healthy weight for you at 5'8". This is why taking it…

Seeing as you only have 4 pounds to lose, there is ZERO reason to be eating only 1200 calories. NONE. If you're of average height (5'4") you need to be eating at least 1500 calories

First off, you only have 40ish more pounds to lose so you should move your goal from 2 pounds to 1.5 or 1 lb per week. 1200 calories is unnecessary. As far as sodium, look at my diary and sodium intake. I've lost almost 30 pounds in just under 60 days. I do drink water but not much more than I normally would. IMO sodium…

As a guy closing in on 30 pound soon, the first thing to go seems to be my waist (almost new belt time!) Chest too, my shirts are just now starting to seem a little bigger.

Increase a little. I used Scoobys Workshop to calculate for you and you should lose a pound per week somewhere between 1500-1700 per day. You have to experiment though to find what works

Do you have the package and the MFP smart phone app? Scan it and it will give you the exact amount. If you don't, I would use google to try and find it if you know the brand. If neither of those work, always use the higher amount

A true pound per day isn't going to happen. My last 30 days I have been losing about .533 pounds per day and THAT is a lot. Rounds to 3.7 pounds per week. Now I'm a large man so that's easier for me, 323 and 6 foot 2. I'm not starving my self either, about 2100-2200 calories per day. Being a 190 pound female, it just isn't…

I eat quaker instant oatmeal. 160 calories if you use water or you can use milk which is what I do. It's the only food that I've found that keeps me more full than the quantity should.

You'd lose lean mass (bad), be hungry all the time (bad), get weak because of lean mass loss (bad), and lose until you're very underweight (bad) If that sounds like fun, go for it.

My team hasn't missed the playoffs in my lifetime. 23 years strong. With a bunch of kids running the show. LGRW!

I've always found tattoos very attractive on women if they are good. Generic tattoos in generic spots ("tramp stamps") are sort of dumb to me. I just don't see the point. But back, stomach, and arm tattoos that are original and look good are really attractive. I have one tattoo now and will probably get another when I…

You only have 22 pounds to lose. You shouldn't be set to 2 pounds per week. No need to starve yourself

If you've been good with your calories and progress, go ahead and enjoy yourself. One night isn't going to hurt anything. Just get back at it tomorrow. If you really want to watch your intake though, get chicken instead of beef and don't get sour cream.

If you have medical reasons to care then be careful. If not, I don't think it really matters

If you only need to lose 11 pounds there's no need to do it "fast". Set your goal at half a pound per week, take it slow, and your chances to keep it off greatly increase

Fear mongering with cows milk I see.

Only for spreads on sandwiches really. I know how much mayo I like on my sandwich and it's about 75% of one serving so I don't weigh that I just put it on my sandwich and enter 1 serving. I wouldn't do it with many other things though. It can add up over time along with other possible inaccuracies

Oscar Meyer makes these little snack packs with a meat, cheese and nut. They're called P3 (Portable Protein Pack) and have either 13 or 14 grams of protein. Only 160ish calories too. Skinless chicken breast is a must too. I eat it almost every day. Peanut butter is good too but it's a little higher in calories.

This is this persons first post. TROLL ALERT

First off, buy a food scale. It's an absolute must. You only gain weight if you eat more than you burn. This can happen by underestimating calories or overestimating burn. Also, having less than 20 pounds to lose, you should set your weight loss goal at .5 pounds per week. Weigh your food and be honest with yourself and it…

No idea. I've had 1200 calorie DINNERS since joining MFP. Albeit I'm losing ~3 pounds per week on 2100 calories per day but it's totally unnecessary unless you are COMPLETELY sedentary and are like a 5 foot nothing female.
