THIS!!! What is the point of giving us the calories for '1 TBSP unpopped'? I need that *kitten* popped!

Anyone else? Haha

I will have a solar generator so charging electronics(and rechargeable batteries) will not be an issue. Just no interwebs. What do you mean by using an exchange system? I mean, my macros are usually very consistent day to day but I eat all sorts of things to make them add up according to MFP's macro amount suggestions. The…

Pork is a bad example because it comes in a package. That one is easy. I was trying to think of non-packaged items. How about fruits and veggies! But... realistically, I am a creature of habit and mostly eat the same kinds of foods. I think they should all pretty much be in my history...

Indeed they do not lol. But for example, I don't know how many calories are in 4oz of pork off the top of my head. Or how many calories are in 20grams of rice off the top of my head. MFP knows. Things with a label, I can log on paper but those without...I won't know without MFP's help.

I'll be in and out of service for about 3 months. I'm in this for the long haul as well and really want to keep the momentum going. I feel really positive about my weight loss for the first time because it's actually working! Weighing and logging has become second nature. I know I can do this, just trying to find the…

I appreciate your input. I'm very serious about getting this weight off. I am going to bring my food scale and log everything still. It will just take even more dedication than now.

So when you re-installed, did it change your streak back to the very first day you started logging? Wonder why it needed you to re-install?

I put my phone into 'Airplane Mode' just now to play around. It looks like I can still add by the 'Create New Food' button if I have the label handy.. Just curious though, if I wanted to mass add before I go back out of service, do I just pick a random day in the past to add everything that way it's already in my history…

Noooooo

Thank you. That's what I figured.

That way they are in my history when I need them....?

Thoughts on how I can work around this? Mass add all food/beverage to my diary somehow when I run into town for supplies, but before I go out of service again?

Thank you. Going to be camping out of service for an extended period of time and won't have wifi. It's a scary thought knowing I won't be able to log :/

Can you elaborate on this?

This!! I feel like you are over-complicating it. Track everything, you'd be suprised how many calories you wouldn't be logging..which will hinder your results.

Yeah, 150 was my high school weight. I love food too, so I feel you. I sent you a friend request so we can support one another. What is your ultimate goal?

Thank you for responding! Did you lose all the weight using MFP? You look really great..Your picture is incredibly inspiring! Friend request sent!

I'm sorry to hear that. Thank you for sharing. Friend request sent!

That's awesome to hear! Did you lose from 240-170lbs using MFP?

I am using MFP for the tool it was intended to be. Can you clarify what looks like a "one size fits all approach"?

It's all good! It's necessary that you do that, though! I can't tell you how much that chart helped me in the beginning when I started to lurk on the forums. It might save someone else that's reading. Thank you for being on top of it!

On the original post, I said I ate 1140 calories a day. I meant to say I eat 1440 calories a day. It is now edited!! Thanks!

Astoria here...non-rainy days are few and far between!! I have some weights, medicine ball, and step for aerobics at home and tend to use YouTube for my workouts! It's free and I'm out of the rain :)

I've lost a total of 3.4lbs in a month when I'm shooting for 2lbs a week. I should have lost more by now. I'm really wondering if 1,400 calories is enough since everything that I've read about BMR says I should never eat less than 1,700 a day... you can actually GAIN if you're not eating enough...thoughts?

I've only had one day in the last month that I would consider a "cheat day" food-wise, but still made sure I was under my calorie limit. I do not eat out either. I've considered getting a food scale. I have been measuring everything possible but not weighing.

This!!!!!!

Touche!

Thanks guys :flowerforyou: ... You're all right. If I really want this, I just need to suck it up and do it. Also, I agree with MPF being to generous with exercise calories.

Love this. It could have been me writing it!
