Lol, I'm still bored people, don't leave me now.

Hahaha, aw yeah.

Haha, well, I would NEVER work for a GNC, you should hear the ridiculously inaccurate things they tell people just to make a sale. I actually really like it here, though. It's not the Vitamin Shoppe, it's just a small, 5 store chain, The Vitamin Store. It's very personal, and honest. And the $11/hour to start was a great…

Yeah, I'm receiving some transfers they never got around to in the hour they bothered to open yesterday, putting them on the shelves, but if I walk to far, I can't hear the music, and then it's worse. At least I have control of the radio, funny music makes me happy. :love:

Hahaha, ugh, I know; before this I worked in a nutrition store in a mall, and we had to follow the extended hours, too, even though NO ONE was out shopping for vitamins at Christmas time, and it was completely dead after like 7, we still had to be open until 9:30. I've never spent so much time dusting in my life. We…

Yaaaaaaaaaay, an answer! Lol, tell me about it. They're probably paying me more to be here than they're gonna make back from sales. :tongue:

Man, I don't know where everyone is. I just wanna say that, even though you're struggling, I think it's amazing that you own it all and hold yourself responsible in order to learn from your mistakes and work towards being more healthy. An actual eating disorder isn't something you can just overcome overnight, especially…

I'm stuck at work in the middle of two big snow storms; needless to say, no one's going to come here! Save me from the boredom! *blasting T.I. in The Vitamin Store* :laugh:

Snow storm! 25 cm overnight. It's about to start, going all through the night (snow plow outside my bedroom at 2:30 am, yay! :grumble: ) until tomorrow afternoon and then the same again on Sunday, plus roughly 5 more cm every day next week. We're gonna have a whiiiiiiiiiiite Christmas.

Lol, woah, yeah, what was I doing there? Fifty thousand calories in one meal. :laugh: Yeah, I meant 5000, obviously. But the point still stands. Five thousand in one meal? (I almost typed 50 000 again, maybe for the future I should just type out the words.:tongue: )

This site already calculates a deficit for you, so when you eat your goal, you're already 500-1000 calories less than you would need to eat to MAINTAIN your weight, depending on what goal you told it when you signed up. So in order to gain one pound you'd have to be like, -40 000 or -45 000 at the end of the day. Which is…

Eat things like almonds, coconut, avacado, fruit smoothies. These can add up to a whole lot of calories without actually feeling like you're eating so much.

Lol, man, you're making me want spaghetti. You seem to love it even more than I do. :laugh:

You should pick up some probiotics from your local health food store too, especially if you're taking antibiotics; the antibiotics kill the good bacteria in your digestive system too, and the probiotics will help replenish it. If not, at least eat lots of yogurt. 'Sgot probiotics AND it's usually pretty low calories.…

Oh, bite me Mich. *hides in the corner crying over her 32 F big ol' chest, which ends up costing $200 per bra, and which weight loss has NO effect on* So yeah, I wouldn't mind going down a cup size or 5, but I actually noticed the same growth at one point during weight loss, but I believe it was because I switched my birth…

Ahahaha, Songbyrd, I love you.

Cheese. Definitely cheese. It's the only thing that's kept me from going totally vegan. Lol.

Haha, I don't know if I should believe mine either; I wear it to the gym for two hours and it tells me I burn over 1000 calories. :noway:

Just keep in mind that even herbal teas can naturally have caffeine.

They say that for every gram of fiber you consume in a day your body eliminates 7 calories, so for 16 calories, I'd just leave it out, you're probably negating them with the fiber content anyway. :tongue:

I feel you, at work until 8 today. Joy! And I was supposed to have tomorrow off, was going to go the gym and all, but now I have to come in again, and on Saturday. Lol. Always fun. Here's hoping I can still fit the gym in tomorrow!

Any fluid counts towards hydration, but you don't get the same benefits as with pure water, so pure water is all I count in my log.

Lol, I'm going to go to the gym and do 40 minutes on the treadmill doing intervals, 30 minutes on the elliptical and 20 on the bike... at least! Now... I just have to... find some... energyyyyyy. :yawn: :yawn: :yawn: Hehehe, looking at those things actually made me yawn. :tongue:

If you grab a handful of almonds or other healthy nuts, that should help. They're the best for pushing up your calories.

Most of the suggestions MFP gives you, aside from calories, are just basic guidlines for health. I actually have my fiber goal manually increased up to 40 and half the time I still go over, because I'm a vegetarian, so pretty much everything I eat has fiber. Extra fiber is good for you, though I wouldn't suggest jumping…

I have the same problem, which seems to get worse when I'm watching what I eat and working out. I've had bloodwork done testing for just about everything, and not really finding much, so I don't think it's anything too serious, at least not for me. Good luck!

I think all this is good to know, and if you're worried about starvation mode at 1200 calories, which very well could happen depending on your height, weight, exertion level, blah blah blah, then manually change that goal to what MFP tells you is your BMR, or a number close to it. You'll still be losing weight, it just…

Fiber helps keep you regular, which can help support weight loss, but not cause it. There's also something called the "Fiber Flush Effect" which states that for every gram of fiber you consume in a day, your body eliminates 7 calories. I'm not sure if this has been proven in studies, but I've read it in a lot of…

OH MY GOD. :noway: I never thought I'd meet another 32 F in my life. Dear Jesus, I thought I was the only one. :laugh:

:noway: I burned 5 in two minutes on my laptop when I got mine. That's a big difference. I don't know what to thnk anymore. ><
