Good articles - facts about "starvation mode"
Hi girls! (I thinks it's mainly girls in here for some reason) I just stumbled across two great articles that contain some great information - actual studies that have been done that provide an alternative point of view about the "starvation mode" that most of us in here are tired of hearing about.…

Cat problems
I am an animal lover. We have 3 cats and a dog. That being said... Does anyone have any advice... 2 of the 3 cats are making my life miserable. The newest kitty, Violet, spends 99% of her time hiding from the oldest kitty, Annie, who is a psychotic *****. The last time I tried to pet Annie, she scratched my hand badly to…

Where are my results?
Sorry it seems like I only vent here... hope y'all don't mind. I have been burning crazy amounts of calories almost every day for the past 2 months or more. Before that, I never in my life hit the treadmill for more than like, 15 minutes, and never this consistently. Now I keep adding more and more time, increasing speed,…

Popcorn, ice cream and wine... oh my...
OK, so my re-commitment sorta fizzled out. I'm trying AGAIN, after missing about a week. *sigh* Here is my situation: My boyfriend LOVES to snack at night while we watch TV. I never had this problem before, or somehow I managed it better... I just don't remember having this struggle with any previous relationship. First of…

Can I come back?
I missed checking in with my fitness pals here. :( I stopped working out & logging for a month because I was overwhelmed with trying to study for my PMP exam & all the other activities involved in getting a job. I'm almost ready for the exam, and I had an interview this week that I totally aced! If I ace the second…

Frustrated :( moral support?
I just entered the last 3 weeks' data into a spreadsheet and this is what I see: Average calories consumed: 1132 There were 2 days where I went over 2000 calories, yikes! But overall, that's not bad. Average calories burned: 483 Going forward, this is going to increase dramatically, as I have time on my hands and have…

How is everyone doing?
I am SO excited! I finally got the courage to try on a pair of pants last night. The last time I put them on, I almost cried... I had a HUGE muffin top squishing out over the waistband... and I put them away with all my other stuff that didn't fit. Now, they fit (almost) perfect! No muffin top to speak of! I'm still not…

Random - calories burned doing stuff
I'm wondering if anyone could venture a guess, along the lines of guessing how many jellybeans are in a glass jar, how many calories did I burn yesterday... here's how my day went in excruciating detail: 1. swiffered, vacuumed and mopped all floor areas in a 3000 sf house 2. cleaned master bathroom - sinks, shower/tub,…

AAAHHHH! Sooooo frustrated... and sad... help... :(
My food diary is public, so anyone who cares to can take a look... but I will start by saying, although I have been under my 1200 daily calories for about a week, not by too much, I seriously, seriously think 1200 is too damn many calories for ME. I am just built small. My upper torso NEVER gains weight. Everything above…

OK, Got the BMR, TDEE, Cut, etc... now what?
BMR = 1319 Calories (based on BMR x 1.55, moderately active) = 2,044.45 TDEE = 2265 Cut = 1,925.25 So how many calories should I be eating? I was shooting for 1200 and not quite getting there, and everyone seems to agree that's not enough calories.

Help! So discouraged! :(
I weighed myself today, this is my first weigh in after my initial. I have GAINED! I know it's my own fault. I am breaking personal records with consistent treadmill exercise, however, I am not consistently keeping under the recommended calories, and have blown them a few times by more than just a few calories. I am so…

Anyone in Houston?
Hi, :flowerforyou: I'm new to using myfitnesspal, one week but I love it so far! I only need to lose 10, maybe 15 pounds, but I have a HOT boyfriend who is all lean muscle, and I don't want him to be grossed out by my flabby belly! That plus it's just a healthier lifestyle, and I want to connect with other people who just…
