Has anyone tried...
Okay, so I'm back and trying this again. MFP has me on 1264 a day. I'm starving. So I thought, what if I found out how many calories a day it would take to maintain the weight I want to be and eat that, which according to one calculator is 1694? Has anyone tried doing this? Granted, it's still a deficit from what I've…

Heel pain? Runners advice?
Admittedly, I haven't been running very long, and really just started to be able to go for longer distances, but recently I've had to stop running due to a "pain" in my heal/Achilles tendon area, mostly on my right side. It doesn't really bother me when I'm actually running/walking, but if i'm stationary for a while,…

"exercise" question for motorcycle riders
So it's Spring here in Texas and with spring comes the start of the Motorcycle riding season, of which I partake Frequently, mostly on the weekends, sometimes both days. On those days I do NOT wear my fitbit because the vibration sends it thru the roof. My problem is I'm gone ALL DAY on those days and too worn out when I…

So....question
I have been faithfully wearing my fitbit flex for the last 30 days. Today I went in and added up all the "burned calories" totals for the past month and divided it by 30. I came up with 2031, would that be considered my TDEE? And if so, if I've been eating at 1500 for that same past month, why no weight loss? :huh:…

Okay, I'm just gonna put this out there and take my licks...
...I've been making a concerted effort to log accurately (it's been hard but I've REALLY been trying). Did lose a few pounds, but thanks to "TOM" they're back. Haven't stopped logging, just a little discouraged and back to thinking "am I at the right calorie level?" So...here it is....I'm 45, 5'4", desk job but I work out…

Ugh....just can't keep logging
I was pretty sure I was motivated to lose weight until the whole "log everything you eat" came into play...anyone else just finding it an absolute beating to log every day? Is it psychological? I go great for a few days, a week, then....YAWN! Just can't bring myself to do it! I don't mind logging my exercise, but logging…

Motorcycle riders!
Anyone ride? I have a group I ride with a lot and one thing we do, and you know this if you're a rider, is "ride to eat, then eat to ride." Which is probably why I'm here trying to lose 25 lbs! UGH! How do we stay away from the chicken fried steak, the ribs, the pie!? How do you log food you get from Pippy's Cafe in the…

Just an observation....almost scared to post!
I haven't been posting or even reading these posts very much until recently, but wow.....has anyone else noticed how mean people can be? I'm afraid to ask any questions for fear of being ridiculed for being utterly ignorant about how my own body works. Yes, I'd like to lose weight; Yes, I realize it takes hard work and…

WHAT EVER YOU DO DON'T.....
...have a Dr. appointment during your "starting phase".....oh my god! someone kill me now...now I have 30lbs to lose! :cry: :sad: Why can't all scales say the same thing! :mad:

New here...
...to this Board not MFP. Let me get this straight, you're saying that once I figure out my BMR (1456), my TDEE (2257) and deduct 15% (1918), I can eat that much food and in theory lose weight? I'm gonna give it a shot. One question though...I don't quite understand the whole "if you work out and burn calories" thing....so…

No information on calories
What do you do if you can't find the nutritional information for something you've had at a restaurant? I had apple pie french toast for brunch at Red's Roadhouse. It was made with real apples on top (still had skin on them) and 3 thick slices of some sort of cinnamon bread. Didn't use nor need the syrup. I've searched and…

food list
Did they change it so I can't delete foods from my list? I seem to remember being able to delete the foods I added....my recent list is like 4 pages long and it doesn't have to be...makes searching for truly recent foods tedious and longer than necessary. Can we not still delete?

Hungry!
What do you do when you've eaten your calories and are STARVING at the end of the day?! I came home after my workout and hubby had grilled chicken and veg ready for dinner, not an hour later I was Starving?! I had a protein shake just to shut my stomach up, but it pushed me over my daily total...normal? Should I up my…
