What happens if you don't eat your BMR?
What happens if you don't eat at least your BMR amount of calories each day? MFP says to lose 1lb a week I need to eat like 2000 calories. That seems a bit high, doesn't it? My BMR though is like 1877.

Buying supplements online, good site?
Hubby and I really like using carnivor protein mix. I found some way cheaper online than what GNC sells it for. But I'm also looking for a tasteless protein powder that I can add into a fruit smoothie before my workouts. Also I'm looking for a good site. I want to compare prices. The place I looked at was bodybuilding.com…

Whey Protein and Constipation
I consume probably 2-3 scoops worth of whey protein a day. I've noticed that within the last 2-3 weeks (since I started doing this) I am constipated a lot. Painfully constipated. Could it be the whey protein? I've been trying to take fiber supplements as well to help with it. How much fiber should I be consuming each day?

Divorce and emotional eating

I have really fallen off the wagon now
I don't know how to stop! The last few days I just can't seem to stop eating crappy food. I have gotten some veggies and such in there as well but I can't stop with the sweets! I made some homemade brownies for my husband, who has only ever had the boxed kind, and now I find myself stuffing them into my face. UGH. How do…

I need some active, supportive friends. I hate people adding me and then never saying a word to me. I'm not here to be a high count on your profile. I don't care how many friends somebody has.

Feeling very down and unmotivated
I really don't know why but I've been feeling so down and unmotivated. I feel like I just want to curl up and sleep for days and days. I can't get myself to excercise. I've been trying to at least stay within my calorie range but I find myself wanting to gorge myself and it's so hard to stop myself. I don't know what to…

Question for the ladies
What kind of excercises do you find are best during TOM? I get wicked bad cramps to the point that I can barely move. It only happens for like the first two days and then I'm fine. I don't want to slack on my excercise but I don't want to do anything that's going to make them worse either.

Had a breakdown today...
I've been feeling so overwhelmed and burnout lately. All the calorie counting and the worrying, trying to fit in excercise and then just trying to get the motivation to go. My kids have been stressing me out which makes me want to just shut down and not do anything. I started getting scared, and worried. I feel like I'm…

Best formula for calorie needs?
I'm trying to find out what is the best formula for discovering your calorie needs. My husband did one based on what he learned from the ISSA, but it seems high, but I do trust him. He's a genius at math. So what are some tried and true (at least for you) ways to calculate the amount of calories you need each day?

How important is tracking sodium?
How important is it? I find myself having troubles to meet my calories and other macros sometimes because I worry over the sodium. I do try my best to avoid it but, let's face it, that's a pretty hard thing to do in this day and age. The amount they say is okay for someone is 2500. I find I am usually closer to 3000. Do…

Eating healthier is making me sad
Before I started my weight loss journey I was a baking fool. I was in the kitchen baking up something almost every day. I love to bake. It relaxes me and makes me feel like I accomplished something. However I find I pretty much never bake anymore. Cakes, muffins, cookies, etc aren't exactly healthy. :(

What's your odd Non-Scale-Goal?
I've always wanted super short pixie style hair. I mean super short and choppy. Unfortunately short hair like that looks rediculous on bigger women. So my non scale goal is to get fit enough that I can cut my hair super short like that and still look sexy!
