  • I think you have something set wrong...im 5ft and 140lbs and my calories are higher then yours. Check your settings and change your goal to 1lb a week.
  • What are your starting and goal weights?
  • Newfoundland - I work in an ice cream store.
  • Chi-caRgo - Chicago dose no have an "r "in it I think this might be a local thing.... When you live in lower or eastern Canada you are not going up to the states and down to Labrador/Quebec/Ontario.
  • Actually the calcium you get from green veggies is absorbed better by your body. My family has a history of osteoporosis and low calcium levels, and due to being mildly lactose intolerant i ingest very little dairy yet my calcium levels are better then everyone else in my family (even the ones who take supplements)
  • Any way you could post the TOS here so we can see what you find invasive? and is it MFP TOS or android tos?
  • ummm actually you are getting a couple of things mixed up here. You are right in saying that starvation mode does not cause your body to store calories for later but it does cause your metabolism to slow down.
  • OK I think I just burned about 200 calories from laughing so hard.
  • Dont for get that our bodies burn calories all the time not just when you are working out. Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories you'd burn if you stayed in bed all day. So your HRM is telling you those as well but you need to remember that MFP already has that calculated for you in too you calorie…
  • After everything I have read on the internet I have learned how to read between the lines and find backup evidence through reliable sources. Everyone is different in the actually amount of water that you need to ingest (notice I say ingest and not drink). Everything that we eat/drink for the most part contains water. By…
  • WOW I just finished reading this article and all i can say is WOW what have I been doing to my feet and hips THANK YOU for posting
  • I also had a lot of trouble with running shoes. I was told by a "professional " that i had collapsing arches and needed a very good supportive shoe with a good arch, After 2 months of pain getting worse I went to The Running Room to get new sneakers (thinking I needed the most supportive ones available). The girl took one…
  • Go to your doctor and asked to have your thyroid tested. Its not normally listed as a sign of Graves Disease but I know of 2 people who have the same problem of smelling like metal after a workout and after many MANY tests both were diagnosed with Graves (hyperthyroidism)
  • I have a Taylor as well and as of today its being replaced. I weighed in this morning i was was getting a 9 LBS weight loss since Wednesday and I know that is not right (hubby also showed a 7lbs loss. So we go out for a bit and when we get home we try again now the thing is reading as a 10 lbs gain (back to my starting…
  • I'm in NL Canada Yesterday gas was $4.87 per US gallon
  • If I don't sweat it I'm not losing it.
  • Try sunlight dish liquid.
  • You should be in my house some days when hubby steps on the scales...words to make you ears bleed. We have been eating the same meals pretty much so for my 10lbs lost he has lost more then 15 AND IS STILL SNACKING all the time
  • Not so rare actually...go talk to some marathon runners everyone well have at least one story to tell.
  • It seems like every time that this question comes up everyone seem to forget that if you have MFP set properly then it already has you at a 500 calorie deficit per day to lose 1 lbs per week. If you don't eat the calories back then you might actually go below your minimum daily calorie intake to keep you functioning at a…
  • I lost 30 lbs a few years ago by doing the South Beach diet. I find it explains more about the good and bad fats and carbs. After more research though I discovered The GI Diet it talks about how to control your sugar levels so you don't get sugar crashes and binge eat.
  • I wonder haw many calories that would burn?
  • Look up the South Beach Diet, The GI Diet, I think another one is Good Carbs Bad Carbs. More about healthy eating then actually making it seem like Carbs are the EVIL magic that makes you gain weight. (I have read through the Atkins diet and it seems like it has turned in to EAT OUR PRODUCTS rather then eat real food so I…
  • Amping up the resistance is the key on the elliptical. BUT The elliptical is not a machine the everyone should use. I am on the shorter side at 5feet tall and I can tell you right now that some machines are way too big for me and can actually cause pain in my hips/knees/back due to lack of proper posture caused by the…
  • This is not from this site but actually something that I hear at work. ( I work in an Ice cream/chocolate store) "I'm a diabetic and I feel weak, where are you diabetic/sugar free chocolates?" "Its better for a diabetic to eat artificial sweeteners (even the sugar alcohols) then it is for them to eat real sugar. (even if…
  • Take it slow and remember its the little things that count. 1. take the stairs? 2. can you walk to work? 3. Precook some meals on the weekends so you can get 30 minutes in at the gym before or after supper. 4. go for a walk on your lunch break. 5. if you snack at work make them healthy and filling
  • I normally don't have issues with GMO items either but a company can't claim the are GMO free and then list a GMO item as an ingredient. Food companies need to start being held more responsible for what they are putting in their products and need to stop trying to hide items under different names. I cant wait to see the…
  • I was just on the Shakeology website because I have never heard of it before and on one of the information pages came across the following 2 points....anyone else see the problem with these two statements? 1. Xanthan gum in Shakeology - GMO Xanthan Gum is in Shakeology because it is a clean, organic source of gum. 2. Is…
  • Don't wear then all day as you can really mess up your feet/knees/hips. Best shoes are good running sneakers designed for your feet. I just discovered today that I was actually causing my foot pain by wearing sneakers that had too much support in them. Some people well say that they can feel the toning shoes work but what…
  • Count calories. Many studies have been done that prove that low fat diets do not work.
