Thanks everyone for your feedback! A quick question for those of you who don't log in certain activities: Do you guys try to eat at a deficit or to maintain? I was just wondering if there was any concern about going under your BMR? I think I'll stick to MFP's numbers then. I definitely don't want to lose muscle mass. Thank…

Sorry if I wasn't very clear. This is the first time I've checked my BMR. I guess it's more that I'm surprised to see that I can't go under ~1,400 calories when I previously thought it was 1,200. This leaves such a small amount of deficit that I can accrue I don't know if I'll be able to stay within that area and still…

You're right, it is like splitting hairs. I was just worried that because the difference between my BMR and maintenance weight was so small I would always be inadvertently be going under my BMR or over my maintenance weight. (I don't weight my food and I eat out quite a bit, so a lot of it is guesswork).

Thanks everyone! I always love hearing about how other people do their different weight loss routines. :D I've been going to the gym at night so I've always felt like I had to eat half of what I burned afterwards which usually sent me over 1,300. My calculations were based on sedentary. It's scary to think of how little…

Another 'lil shortie here! I'm 5'2 and as I still have another 20 pounds to go... :p Add me if you'd like! :D

^LOL. You rock!

@srsteier: Thanks! You look pretty cool to me too. :)

I usually have a small snack sometime between 10pm-1am. I still count it for the same day even if it's past midnight. I'm a late to sleep, late to rise sort of person so this schedule works for me.

At night after I've worked out at the gym... although mostly because their scale is more accurate than mine lol. :p Naked if no ones around. >_> Otherwise, minimal clothes.

Hot. :D How about me? Check out this award winning smile. ;D /troll Sorry, I just couldn't help it. :3

That make sense that it's still determining how many calories I burn. I wish I could say it was because I'm in incredible shape, but that would be quite a stretch. Thank you for your help! :)

A lesbian couple have two daughters together- one that is already an adult and one that is still a child. That adult daughter has two more daughters- bringing the grand total up to 6 people.

Part poor diet, part laziness, part being too embarrassed to just do stuff, part addictive personality, part genetic and then compounded by going from a decently active job to a broke, full time student. ._. And I'm sure the whole procrastination thing isn't helping. >.<;;

Congrats! Keep up the good work! :D

Awesome! :D

AVENGED SEVENFOLD "I Won't See You Tonight Part 1" Cry alone, I've gone away No more nights, no more pain I've gone alone, took all my strength I've made the change, I won't see you tonight Sorrow, sank deep inside my blood All the ones around me I cared for and loved It's building up inside of me A place so dark, so cold,…

I don't think one thread is really sufficient to label someone as a whiner. And are you trying to tell me that you have NEVER whined about anything in your life? Even when things were harder than they've ever been? Not even when you were a teenager yourself? I find that hard to believe. And while we all need a reality…

You rock. :)

I think everyone's entitled to do a little ranting and raving every now and then. Yes, it's not something you'd want to listen to all the time, but sometimes these things just need to be let out to make the speaker feel better. Give the OP a break. I'm sure we've ALL been there before. I'm sorry that you're going through…

I would pick to have a meal at an all you can eat buffet in a resteraunt that contained at least three floors worth of food from all sorts of cultures. Dim sum, sushi, yellow curry, white rice, papadams, assorted vegetable pakora,Vietnamese combination pork plate, Hawaiian burgers, spam fried rice, garlic bread, ravioli an…

When it comes to seeing what parents feed their kids with- yes, I'm with DanDan on that one. I used to work with kids and it never failed to amaze me how someone would think that giving their 4 year old one of those 99 cent bags of cheetos is a good idea. o.O And the scarier part is that the little girl finished it all!…

Progress: I've lost 4 pounds since I've joined! b(^o^)d Personal Challenge: *Eat CLEAN. noway Yep I said it. Eat as clean as you can fresh fruits, veggies, and meats. (This is going to be a tough one...) *I'm going to try to go to the gym at least 3 times this week and burn at least 1000 calories in total. *I'm going to…

My goal is 1230 calories although I usually go over. But considering the fact that I know my estimates aren't the most accurate it's really not that big of a deal. I think the last time I went on a diet I was averaging closer to 1000 because I wasn't logging my foods in like I should have been. It's safe to say I gained it…

Ah, no I meant that I don't end my days at midnight. I used to but considering the fact that I usually don't go to sleep until 2 or so and I tend to eat a small snack somewhere between 10:30 and 1am, 2am seemed like a good place to end my day. Someone told me that as long as it's consistent (meaning one 'day' isn't 30…

I had the same trouble figuring this out when I first started. My day starts whenever I wake up and it ends at 2am. :)

Would we still have to eat that much protein on days when we're not strength training? I'm a protein kind of gal myself, but sometimes (like today for example) I can't reach that high (I think I took in 50 today). I'm 149 @ 27 BMI (from a chart so it may be off). I've recently gotten some muscle to show up and I don't want…

^Same here lol. xD

I honestly think that there is truth in both sides (regarding the cartoon captions, not the 'skinny' debate). Yes, just because a young girl grows up watching these movies doesn't mean that she's going to automatically assume these ideals as being truth. However, you also can't deny that this is only one part of a much…
