Just a shout out to another guy on the same level I am! Best of luck to you!

Aright, today I went at 7.0 incline and 3.0 mph speed with spurts of 6-7 mph and burned 300 in 40 minutes. Even to me, that feels more realistic. Thanks to everyone who pointed out this problem to me!

Well, seeing as I was recording my gym calories inaccurately it's very possible I could have gone over or been much closer to even at least on the days I went to the gym. So there's that, anyway :]. I don't feel hungry most of the time though, and sometimes I have trouble finding enough food to even it out, or I just get…

Aha! It's nice to feel like I have found a real problem to solve. Hopefully now my calories earned on a treadmill will be more accurate. Granted, I'll get less, but hell, it's not like I need them. I'm closing my diary with 555 to spare and that's almost a hundred more than I "thought" I burned!
-
Thank you! I'll definitely work on finding a comfortable speed/incline that I can work with without holding on. The hard part is going to be explaining to my boyfriend why I've actually lowered my workload... but I guess, technically, raised it.

...Maybe build muscle in my arms then? Once I lost about 10 more pounds I plan to start lifting, so xD... but seriously, that's all just side speculation, would it really make a difference to stop holding onto the handles or no? Someone replied to this earlier but I didn't really understand what he was saying. Also, I tend…

AHA! I DO in fact hold on to the treadmill as I run! This possibility slipped my mind--- I actually had realized during my sessions that it's probably taking away some of the work my legs are doing, but I'd thought "hey, it makes my arms sore, so I might as well lose some of that arm fat while I'm at it!" so I kept doing…

To everyone who keeps mentioning the Cherry Coke-- I am very, very aware that this was a bad choice xD. I recently got a new job. At my old job, I was a manager and I got free food, and they always had bottles of water in stock, so that would be my drink for the day. At this job I'm in an office so there is no free food...…

I'm such a friggin' picky eater... I've had corn tortillas before, I bought them accidentally and I hated them and I ended up throwing them all away :C... I plan to get some carrots... and, well... carrots. Carrots and apples and strawberries are the only effing plants I like.
-
Haha! Yeah, the treadmill has me enter my weight--- but not my height, which I found to be kind of poopy, because isn't that slightly important in deciding how much work is going to burn me how many calories? And yeah, I get totally nerdy with my treadmill walking. Sometimes I'm just listening to a podcast so I mostly walk…

Aside from now being discouraged by what people have told me about inaccurate calorie burning sessions on the treadmill, that makes me feel a bit better. And ahaha... I have this problem where I really don't like plant-y foods. But I'll do it! I know veggies are the best. If only they didn't taste like poo.

The treadmill at Red Fitness has a heart rate monitor, but I'm not always holding the censors to see it. I grab them every once in a while and it's usually a range from 50-70 depending on whether or not I just came down from an increased speed or not. So how accurate are the calories counted on treadmills? I don't step…
-
If by cycle you mean period... I'm on it right now xD. If not, then I'm not sure what you mean.

1. I go to Red Fitness in Westlake, OH and their treadmills reach 15 incline. On a good day when I have a lot of energy I'll boost it up to 13. So you can shove your "shenanigans" where the sun doesn't shine. 2. Like I said, though. I am usually hundreds of calories under. Even if the treadmill measurement was 50 calories…
-
I'm 1200 on days without exercise :) I exercise pretty much everyday now so it's more like 1400-1500 is what I end up taking in.

I rather plan to use MFP for the rest of my life, including for maintenance, and if later on I want to lose a few more. I don't feel like weight-loss is a summer classes type deal. Once you decide to do it, it's a sort of rest-of-your-life decision, and that's why programs and apps like MFP are nice to have because they…

Blek. I mean no. Chicken Burritos with Applesauce on top.

That's what people keep telling me :P... but with my work and social activity it's actually really hard. Maybe I should buy foods for my fridge and cupboard with slightly higher calories next time? For now I plan to just wait and see what happens letting these happen as they are... if I start to feel fatigued or if I'm…
-
Thank you so much! Your reply was extremely helpful! For the most part I've just been working on staying close to MFP's recommended amount of fat/carbs/protein. I'm yet to go over on fat/carbs but I've been just slightly over on protein. Generally my plan has been to stay under the calorie limit but stay close to the…
-
I've been continuously under my goal, not over. (Much due to my budget.) I'm wondering if that's also a big deal?
-
Random curiosity... how few calories is considered semi-starvation? My "goal" is 1430... so far ive only taken in 723 for the day. I know this wont make muxh difference if I only eat so little just today, but if I were to do this most days or every day is that low enough to be considered semi-starvation, or is any amount…
