Hormone Treatment? + 500 cals a day - Diet?
Ah, fad diets... I'm no great spokeperson for weight loss. I admit this easily. While I have maintained my weight (within 5 pounds) for more than a year I haven't LOST anymore (and haven't been actively trying to lose more, admittedly). And because I haven't been losing big pounds when my friends come to me and I give them…

Half Way There
Am I allowed to post a success story when I haven't actually reached my goal yet? Because I realized today (my flower moved over enough for me to see!) that I'm halfway to my goal! It only took a year and a bit to get 42lbs off (ONLY - because I haven't been as stringent and careful as some, I think this is a pretty…

Why am I so cold?
Haha. I wasn't sure where to put this one! So, apparently you're supposed to feel warmer when you have a full stomach because your body is busy digesting... is that correct? And when you're operating on an empty stomach your temperature drops a wee bit. I forget the exact reasons why I just remember a very well-learned…

Question for the Runners
I have been to see my doctor and am in the process of having everything examined but in the meantime I'm just curious to hear if anyone else has had a similar problem. It's always nice to know one isn't alone! For the most part I am perfectly healthy. I have undergone every kind of exam you can imagine and have been told…

A Math Crunch!
I wasn't sure where to put this! I just thought it was kind of amusing and kind of pointless so I settled for here. So the daily amount of calories I can eat in a day to maintain my current weight is somewhere around 2000. If I tell MFP I want to lose 1.5lbs a week it gives me 1340 calories a day. If I tell it I want to…

Pull ups-DON'T DO THEM
Hahaha, just kidding. I can't do a pull up. First time around I just hung there straining to pull myself up and nothing happened so I tried reverse pull ups. Everything was going fine but I got cocky! I did thirty in a row. Things were a bit sore but nothing out of the ordinary for muscle training... Until a few hours…

Back on the Wagon
So I fell off the wagon for a bit. I haven't gained any weight since I joined MFP way back when, but I haven't lost either. On the one hand it's nice to know I am at a point where I can maintain my current weight loss but I'm definitely eager to start losing more. I think this is less a 'please motivate me' post and more a…

Calories - Who figured that one out???
I'm just sitting here pondering; HOW do they measure how many calories are in any particular unit of food? I feel a bit stupid. Perhaps I'm the only person in the world who doesn't know how that's done but I'd really like to know. :huh:

Work Calories
I work in retail. Out of curiosity I wore my HRM at work and discovered I burn 2000 calories over my resting calories while at work. (So basically I burn 2800 calories whereas I would normally burn 800 calories in that time while sitting still and doing little) ? Should I be inputting this as exercise? It's not an everyday…

Skinny Minny
Hi. How important are AV's? I've done this before. This weight loss thing. I was a fat kid, had an undiagnosed stomach issue (was allergic to basically everything you can imagine) that made my stomach hurt. I associated the pain with hunger so I ate to try and stop it. It didn't work (little did I know food was the actual…
