Birthday Weekend coming up...
So I was wondering: does anyone else "save" calories for the weekend if you KNOW you are going out to eat? I'm not talking about starving yourself for the week but just cut out one or 2 things a day to build up some extra calories..or even work out a little harder to gain some extra calories?!

Gaining weight..no matter what I try!
This is beyond frustrating and I'm seriously at the point where I'm going to throw my hands up and say "screw it all" Nothing seems to be working anymore at all. :sad: I don't know if it's because I'm not eating enough or if I'm working out too much. My lowest weight I've gotten down to is 252. After joining "eat more to…

HRM vs Myfitness pal
Gonna try this again but in this section to see if I can get more answers on how I should handle this. Ok I finally broke down and invested in an HRM since everyone was telling me that I was overestimating my calories when I worked out. Now someone explain this! I walk for 35 minutes outside (roughly at 3mph). I'm…

HRM Vs Myfitness pal
Ok I finally broke down and invested in an HRM since everyone was telling me that I was overestimating my calories when I worked out. Now someone explain this! I walk for 35 minutes outside (roughly at 3mph). I'm currently at 264 and am 5'6. I was checking my heart rate throughout the walk and it was staying in the range…

What are your thoughts?!
I started the group "eat more 2 weigh less" back in May (May 21st to be exact) I was always doubting that advice because I've always been told to eat less and exercise more. So after GAINING 14lbs I decided to ask my friend for advice. She has a friend who is a personal trainer so I asked her about the whole "eat more 2…

Double checking because starting to have doubts
I know my friends are probably tired of hearing me ramble on and on about this but I really think I'm one of the ones that the whole EMTWL won't work for me. I'll put my info out there first. I'm 5'6, 30 yrs old and am currently 258.5 I put that I'm lightly active because I usually only do 35-40 minutes of walking or will…

Which is more important?!
In your honest opinion what is more important; making sure you net your BMR every day or listening to what you body is telling you. I've been really good at netting my BMR but I feel like I"m just stuffing my face all the time. I've had ppl tell me to eat high calorie foods like nuts and all that but there are just certain…

Grandmother with a bad hip
My grandmother needs a hip replacement but was told by doctors that she needs to lose some weight before they will operate on her. My question is, what are some good exercises she can do with her bad hip. I know swimming is good but are there some others. She can't walk much at all. Thanks for your input.

Depressed and feel like crying
Man I never knew losing weight could be so dang confusing and annoying. I know my body is probably just going through some strange reactions since I upped my calorie intake by so much but I just feel weird. I'm eating all this food now and barely working out so I can net my BMR and I feel like what I did before I ever…

Need help with my BMR and TDEE!
Ok here's the deal. I started my weight loss journey at 299.5 and am down as of this morning to 252. I never did keep up with my calorie intake when I first started; I just cut out cokes and sweets and cut back on what I was eating and started exercising. Now that I started MFP and am paying attention I'm only averaging…

Help!! Exercising like crazy but scale ain't changing!! =(
Ok I know it's not impossible to lose weight because I've already lost 50lbs. The only thing I did in the beginning was cut out cokes and sweets and start exercising since all I ever did was eat and watch tv. I get confused on the whole calorie stuff. Some people tell me to eat less calories and exercise and I'll lose but…
