Is it really cheating if you accidentally go over your calories one day, omit the food that caused you to over on that day, and add it to the next day?
An average 150 pound person burns around 60 calories an hour while sleeping. If that person slept for 24 hours, that would be 1440 calories burned. Technically, if that person was fed 1440 calories by…
Started to write this on another thread, but didn't want to "hijack" it. But it made me think about my niece and nephew. I worry about my niece. She's 11 years old, weighs 132 pounds, and is about 5' …
For a very special event in 2007, I was inspired to lose 20 pounds. After the event, I immediately gained it back. Then I gained another 20 pounds. At this point, I bought a dress that I LOVED as insp…
This was a "meet-up" dinner; four ladies (including me). One lady is spending hundreds of dollars going to a doctor and doing the Atkins diet. Says she has lost 55 pounds since January, at which time …
I took my first kettle bell class at the Y Monday, and ordered mine online after the class, and it's already here! Okay, so it cost nearly $50, yikes. I've been lurking on Craigslist and other adverti…
When I googled it, MFP showed up in the search with a calculator where you enter your weight and the number of minutes, but I can't find it in the database. Thanks.
Really crossed them without feeling totally uncomfortable with one foot sticking way up in the air and my hips screaming for relief. I haven't even tried to do so in several weeks, and it just happene…
A journey sounds very cumbersome, as does a lifestyle change. I know someone who dips her French fries in mayonnaise and can't figure out why she is overweight. My theory is that everyone knows why th…
I don't get it. Writer says, "I'm exercising 4,000 calories a day and eating 2,000 calories but I'm not losing weight" and the answer is almost always CICO. Then there's the accusations that the poste…
I ate nearly two cups of pinto beans today, and it's over 300 calories!!!! BUT I must say, I haven't felt hungry all day. In fact, if I can eat a banana for dinner, I'm good. I guess all beans have a …
I hear and read this all the time. Whenever someone says, "I don't have time to (fill in the blank)', it just means it's not a priority. Exercise isn't a priority to those who don't make it a priority…
I don't get it. At IHOP, a two egg breakfast without meat is 860 calories and 2,060 mg of sodium. Look at other chains - Chili's meal with the least calories is a salad at almost 700 (without the dres…
I'm just curious if anyone has lost weight and KEPT IT OFF because (1) another person either bugged or encouraged you into doing so; or (2) you got into any of the myriad of weight loss programs which…
I quit smoking nearly 11 years ago and have had an up and down weight problem ever since. Quitting smoking was EASY! I read that once you quit, the nicotine was out of your system within 72 hours, and…
Tried to make the headline short, but here's the longer version: Does anyone else overestimate the calories they have consumed but underestimate the calories they burned through exercise? I'm not a ve…
I have one, but it's small, makes no allowance for the weight of the container, and you can't read it if the container is larger than the flat scale. Anyone have one they love at a reasonable price?
I was in the room waiting for my ophthalmologist to come in and noticed a free corner behind the chair. Ten minutes of walking in place instead of sitting in the chair! How many ten minutes can you fi…
My high weight was a couple of ounces under 170. From October until January 18, the day before I discovered MFP, I managed to get down to 160 - ten pounds, or a little less than three pounds a month. …
All my adult life, my weight was around 110 top. I'm short and small-boned and could eat and drink anything I wanted. I never exercised. I had a couple of babies, gained weight, then lost it within si…
It seems like most of the people here are a lot younger than us, so I would like to be friends with a few people in my age group. I am 62 and have about 45-50 pounds to lose.
