most definetly eat before you get there, something high protien. Next if you know its hard to control yourself dont even start on the unhealthy snacks. Then when you get there stay away from sweets and carbs. You just have to not be too hard on yourself and tell yourself "No" you are in charge

if you dont have a hrm, you can log it under general aerobics

bump

everyone is right...too low...but I'm struggling loosing with what they say is the right amount so who knows

I think theres a calibrater. I've seen them squeeze the back of your arm and do some calculation. Sorry not much help

Im doing the same thing....Gaining a little in the process but its only been a week and I wanna see if I can get this right. I know I didnt get to over 200 lbs eating 1500 calories. So it has to workout. I will friend you

cant afford one now....i think mfp might be off though

Ive only increased my calories for 1 week. But I'm not quitting. I'm determined to find the answer to this because when I loose all my weight and I will I want to be able to maintain and live a healthy life. I want this to be permanant. I've taken my measurements and I am now going to eat my BMR plus burned calories. Its…

I am currently in the same battle! I've gained 1.8 lbs in a week!! I'm interested in the answer but I'm not giving up. I'm taking my measurements and I know what I need is an HRM to figure out how much I'm actually burining. But I'm determined to figure this out. If I work hard I should be able to eat more. It makes sense.…

I am debating on whether or not to invest in a HRM and those numbers seem to good to believe. Wow.

if its in your calories why not. I do...but the scale is stalling this week so maybe not... How about fruit instead

great job!

Thats a high goal. Your body can only do so much. If you dont mind me asking how much do you have to loose. The smaller you are the slower the weight comes off as I understand it

I dont know but I'll give you a bump........

i just want to bookmark this!!! thank you

I do measure everything. I have never measured myself. I feel like I would need someone else to measure me in order to be accurate. But I will start since I'm eating more and not loosing I need some kind of system. I always go over on protien. How much many mg do you suggest?

This was what I was doing. I know I'm probably freaking out for nothing. But now I just want to find the right number now that I am at the end of my weight loss. Thankfully I've never been into alcohol, sodas, or any of those other extra cal stuff. Just gotta get this eating correct.

Nope I'm actually still obese :( I set my goal really high. I will be overweight when I reach my goal. So I should have no problem loosing these last few lbs to my personal goal. Not BMI related.

I want this to be true! Especially for maintence. I want to be able to live a normal life. Not 1200 per day but its just not working. I guess your saying the 124 cals makes a difference? Man...Maybe I will try that for another week. You are correct it is scary

Yesterday was monday, I go to the gym M-F so on the weekend I eat less because I burn less. It will be a week tomorrow. If you look at my journal on friday it is a high caloric intake. I dont have a hrm so that could be it too. I just cant afford one right now. So is there really a big difference from net 1200 cals and net…

yes....today was one of those days, I forced myself to go to the gym and I tracked all calories. It hard. For me mainly because I decided to eat back my exercise calories and I've gained a lb so far this week. Not sure if I've slowed down my metabolism by eating 1200 no matter what in the past but it is really…

very interested in the answers

whats a body bug?

I want a HRM so I can be more accurate. Not sure what you should do but I would be a little irritated if I bought one and still felt I couldnt trust it. Whats the brand? I dont even know how to work one.... Sorry I wasnt much help but I just wanted to comment because I'm looking into getting one and its sad to see it cant…

inspired :)

I dont usually gain but I get a strong desire to be in the gym, So maybe I counteract it|? Dunno

gym all the way...I need the classes to stay motivated

What do they like to eat? My son likes cheese, I make beans and put cheese on those and I can eat the beans cause thos are healthy. Fruit is also good. Especially the kind that keeps like oranges and apples. Slicing then up and making them look nice. Most kids like peanut butter you can pair that with apples very good for…

I eat it in moderation but I did give up sugary drinks,

Okay so my BMR comes up to 1322 on the site. Doesnt seem much higher than MFP. Also do I then eat back the calories when I workout. Sorry for all the posts but I'm really struggling with this. This seems to be taking into consideration my activity level so do I not eat my calories burned Everyone has different opinions and…
