BMR= Basal Metabolic Rate and it's the amount of calories your body would burn if you stayed in bed all day long doing nothing but breathing etc. It's been said that you should never eat under your BMR. Go to the 'TOOLS' tab, and use the BMR calculator there. And i have no idea what AMR is, but would like to know if that…

Sometimes i do and other days i don't feel like it. Just depends on my appetite......

Before i was at 1350, last week upped it to 1800 and lost 3lbs. last week. i don't expect to lose that much every week, but i say it looks promising for now.

welcome to MFP world, glad you found us! This is a great site with loads of support, and you can probably find lots of other folks who have similar situations and goals as you! My advice for beginners on logging their foods: 1. Use measuring cups, measuring spoons, and a food scale. It's so easy to under/overestimate…

i just finished week 1 last night. it's really hard for me to stick with it too, because i dont get home from work until 6:30, then have to make dinner, deal w/kids and can't do my workout till they are in bed. I've been hitting the sack around midnight every night. But , it's gonna be so worth it!!! JUST KEEP CRUSHING…

I think getting 50% of calories from protein WITHOUT protein powder is simply impossible. The above poster mentioned ordering it online, can you do that?

it'll take a couple weeks for your body to adjust...........stick with it, just choose good foods with your extra calories!

^^EXACTLY.... it is definitely going to matter what foods you consume to make up the difference..... you can't use this as an excuse to eat soda/chips/ice cream etc, etc......... that's how we all got here ;0)

You can figure out your own TDEE... just try googling for a TDEE calculator. Worst case scenario, you can at least find your BMR here on MFP under the "TOOLS" tab. Try eating at least your BMR + all your exercise calories. TDEE= Total Daily Energy Expenditure

Started p90x last Friday and their recommendation for me, based on my height/weight/activity level, was around 2500 per day. They are already figuring in what you'll burn, the same way MFP gives you 'extra' calories after logging a workout. So, i manually set my MFP calorie goal to 1800 and eat back some exercise calories.…

I'm 5'2, around 155 lbs, and i'm in a size 12 now, but they're starting to feel loose. Around 170 lbs. i was wearing a size 14. Looks like everyone is different and depends on body composition. I'm an apple shape, so i have to buy a bigger size to fit around my larger waist, and then pants are baggy because i have skinny…

i get dizzy when i'm dehydrated, or if i haven't had something to eat an hour or two before my workout....

COOLEST IDEA EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR..... I AM DOING THIS TONIGHT!!!

calculate your BMR, and eat that amount of calories for a couple weeks and see what happens. When you work out, you need to eat more! EDIT: eat at your BMR plus your exercise calories!!!!

BUMP ( i just started on 3/16) !!

the chest and back disc is ALL pushups and pullups. There are modifications for the pull ups. You could do "wall" push ups instead? Pretty sure you could still do all the other discs, though some of the yoga moves may be a little tough.

when i shop without trying things on, i ALWAYS buy a size too small cuz i think i can fit it!!! And, i also never realized how big i was until i saw some unflattering photos of myself!!

first remedy for a headache (in my opinion), is a TON of water........... could be dehydrated, especially if you're a caffeine drinker.

yeah, WOW..... the ones i remember most are the moth-ball-huffer and the woman who slept with her hair dryer turned on....!!! CRAZY!

good work! i start p90x TONIGHT!!!!

I'm in Ohio too and just started some seeds for: Broccoli, Brussel Sprouts, Dill, Oregano, Garlic Chives. I'll also plant Tomatoes, Beans, Peppers, Swiss Chard, Kale, melons, onions, eggplant, and lots of other herbs. We have a small strawberry patch, and we'll be trying corn and potatoes for the first time this year. YAY…

try just planting seeds in ground...........some veggies don't "like" being transplanted!

Boneless pork loin in bottom of crock, jar of peach preserves over the pork, potatoes on top. Don't add liquid. Cook on low for 6 hours. and BUMPPPPP for later reading;0)

i see the MFP lynch mob is in full effect....;0)

Sounds like you've got the right stuff! Request coming your way.... ;0)

Try it for a few weeks but keep everything else the same. One thing is not going to work for everybody, so you just have to find what works for you. It'll take a bit of experimenting with your calorie intake.......

it is definitely confusing. My suggestion is to eat the 1200 calories recommended by MFP, because if you work out you'll earn "extra" calories. Do this for awhile and if there gets to a point where your weight loss slows down, increase them to your BMR calories. EDITED: Forgot to say: never eat less than 1200 net calories…

Next time you try saving the other half do this: leave the seed in there, sprinkle a bit of lemon juice over it, and tightly wrap in plastic wrap. Don't use a sandwich baggie, use saran wrap instead. When air gets to the fruit, it makes it turn brown. When you use the other half (the next day or two at most), you'll notice…

First, dont' be so hard on yourself. You're obviously doing something right if you've lost 16 pounds in a couple months.So, KUDOS to you on that part. secondly, baby steps.... changing bad habits doesn't happen overnight. I love fast food and will probably NEVER give it up entirely. But coming from someone who used to eat…
