  • Haven't had that issue yet! I was 252 pounds at age 40, when I got scared and started losing. I quickly took off 40 pounds, and then another 33 after that in about 18 months, I think. This morning I was 184.4 - so that's 67.6 pounds down overall. The past two years, I've been easily maintaining by counting calories and…
  • I don't find your post contradictory - I also would have thought that after two weeks you would have lost some weight - even if it's a quarter pound! I think by "results taking time" you meant substantial results. As long as you are eating right and exercising, you can feel confident that you a on a very good path! See…
  • I like Sheets Energy Strips - they have B Vitamins, 0 calories, NO sugar, and 100mg of caffeine!! Pretty good! B)
  • Sometimes, it is the best you can do if you are at a restaurant and don't have a scale available. The real horrible idea is to not even try.
  • Or even not exercising as much as you think.... Many people state that MFP will overestimate the amount of calories burned during exercise. No one has tried to figure out how much of an overestimation, though as far as I can tell. We should ask the ops about it. She could also be retaining water for some reason. Water has…
  • When you complete the day, MFP says "If every day were like today... You'd weigh 165 lbs in 5 weeks". I think this is clearly was she was referencing.
  • For maintaining weight, zero net calories at the end of the day would be perfect - yes, in theory. Your body expended 1,500 calories, and you ate 1500 calories. Of course, everybody has a different basal metabolic rate - 1,500 is mine - anticipated troll response :-) So if you burn 1,500 calories per day, and you ate 1,400…
  • Is this about remembering the past or about once again putting men down? Remember not to punish those of us alive today for what we were not even alive to do in the past. There are many positive things that happened in the past as well - let's remember to celebrate those! I am not blaming or accusing anybody - just saying…
  • I couldn't agree more. I taught Physics for two years and using the metric system greatly simplified things for me and the students. Plus my desktop scale does not weight things in tablespoons! Fun fact: here in Arizona, Interstate 19 from Nogales to Tucson is labeled in kilometers!! It is great because when you're driving…
  • I have weighed everything for the 4 years I have been dieting. Especially at restaurants where they don't even give you their estimates of the calories in their food. One thing this site could add that would save me and many other LOTS of time (at work especially!!!) is to add a "calories per gram" attribute to the foods.…
  • You know, I still like living in a free country! Just sayin'! There's that freedom of speech thing here! People say and DO stuff I don't like all the time, but I look at my photo ID and I am STILL not King Henry VIII. Shucks. Please do not try to turn our country into China or Cuba. Where would they flee to then?
  • No No NO - The one above you, though - DEFINITELY Now, I guess the next person has to tell us whether or not they would date Endeavour! I would recommend it - he's worth several billion!
