And I see what everyone's saying about extra bites and also about accurately measuring calories. I have been vigilant re: not over-eating, almost a little obsessive. And while I realize the body becomes more efficient, I am still using a heart rate model (a top of the line Garmin Premium no less) and have been trusting its…

Looking to get down to 130 from current 152!

Indeed I am! I weigh, measure, scan and track EVERYTHING.

I don't at all disagree -- I've no interest in a crash diet. I've been slowly and steadily losing weight using Weight Watchers which truly is a comfortable lifestyle change for me -- I've just found it a little inadequate for measuring all my half marathon training and running adventures. Trying to find out the true…

Yowza, that many!? Man. I know it's not a good mentality that I have -- this fear that attempting to eat that much will sabotage weight loss -- but it's hard to shake. On Weight Watchers, I had lost about 1 lb a week and was hoping to continue the trend with about 20-25 lbs to go. Maybe that's unrealistic. Sad face. But…

This makes me feel so much better! I THOUGHT that I should be at least eating BMR! I just didn't want to question my friend -- seems to me that I feel MUCH weaker after one week of following her advice. For the first time, my "wellness plan" does not feel sustainable, so I"m looking to re-up the calories into a decent…

As per my nutritionist, no calculators are accurate except a heart-rate monitor, which I do wear, so I've sussed out my calories from there! And Weight Watchers does not distinguish intensity with all types of exercise. As described above, ANY running above a speed of 12 minute miles will net the same points per minute of…

While I appreciate your working through the math, I think what it becomes for me is a whole bunch of hokus pokus. The weekly points, the banking of AP... there's certainly ways to game the system and work it through so I get enough food and lose weight -- but it's all so much guesswork and the program doesn't guide me! I'm…

I agree -- to an extent! I'm on WW too, have lost over 40 lbs (32 since January) with about 25 more to go to get me into the 130's comfortably. And while I have long loved WW and sworn by their methods... once I took up running, and once I started training for a half marathon, I began to feel as though WW, and its members,…

Whew! This makes good sense. I figured it wouldn't be a big deal -- of course, as my BMR drops I'll have to be sure to keep dropping cals but it's good to know that for now, polishing off an apple and some honey roasted peanuts in the evening isn't shooting me down. Thank you so much for the input! It is much appreciated.…

I am in a similar position of confusion! A friend of mine who is a trainer told me that, as my BMR is about 1500 a day, I should eat 1500 but burn at least 500 and NOT eat them back. He said if I burn more than 500, to eat my way back up to 1000 net. I thought 1000 net sounded awfully low, especially since MFP says that…

I'm bothered too!
