BMR + Weight loss confusion!
So I just calculated my BMR wich is 1509. Then I did the Harris Benedict Equation which is "a formula that uses your BMR and then applies an activity factor to determine your total daily energy expenditure (calories)." From this (since I workout 7 days a week, and sometimes 2x a day) my total calories that I need to…

Difficulty losing weight close to GW?
I am now currently at less than 10 kg from my goal weight and I find that it is increasingly harder to lose a good consistent amount of weight, even though I eat healthy throughout the week and exercise everyday. I have heard that the closer you are to your ideal weight, the harder it is to lose the remaining kgs. So I…

Always feeling BLOATED!
For the past couple of weeks almost everyday or every other day, I just feel bloated. Which in return gives me the probably false notion that I am getting fatter. Is it a particular food that is making me bloat or has it to do with exercise or even something else? Thoughts please! :)

Sweet Potato vs Normal, yellow potato
I'm thinking of trying to switch (not completly but as often as I can) from the yellow potatoes to sweet potatoes. Because I think I have heard that they are healthier for you. And the way I usually eat them is just roasted in the oven with skin and without ANY added salt. So yummy! Is this true? And if so what are other…

Hungry after workout?
I've been working out for the past few months and pratically never been hungry after doing a late workout. But in the past few days, today included, I've been hungry a couple of minutes after doing physical activity. Which I don't understand since I eat plenty during the day. So what changed? And has this happened to you…

Heartburn?
I've been having trouble with heartburn at night for a while and even though I know it's most likely to be related with what I eat, I still don't know what's causing it. Because I switch up a lot what I eat, primarily for breakfast, and it still happens. What can I do to figure out and/or control it?

Treatment for stretch marks?
I used Sweet Almond Oil in the past because I heard that it could help to tone down the vivid color of the stretch marks. And I ended using another product in cream format and it did wonders on them. They are mostly white now but there are days where they show more. So I was wondering if anyone can tell me their experience…

Pictures after 5+ kg lost!
Now I must be around 67-69 kg range. I still have quite a few more to lose, because my ideal goal weight is 56 kg. But I felt like sharing how I look now, because I feel like I look much better than I did. I've seen so many amazing success stories with people that look amazing and so much healthier and happier, so even…

What are you eating, right now?
Well for dinner I ate the leftover half of a croissant I had for a snack in the afternoon. I just added a couple of lettuce leaves, tomato slices and a tablespoon of peanut butter to it just to make it more nutritious, Then I drank Lipton's Forest Fruit tea and ate Danone's strawberry greek yogurt with pieces of yellow…

What do you do when people keep staring?
I've found that a lot of different people (men and women) keep staring at me when I walk by. Don't know if it's good or a bad thing and sometimes I just want to turn around and tell them what the hell are they staring at. So what do YOU do?

Adjusting your own calorie goal?
Since I always seem to eat over the calorie goal that MFP sets for me, even with exercise, I've been thinking about setting my own goal. Is that something I shouldn't do, because of the fact that the calories I ingest might not be the adequate amount in concern with my weight and height? My set goal is 1340 calories while…

Eating most of the goal calories on breakfast!
I've find that the cereals I eat in the morning, whatever brand they are I always lose so much calories in them. Mostly because the bowl I use is for 300 g. Do you guys have any ideas so that I can eat them and not be splurging in calories?

Eating your exercise calories.

Wearing makeup while working out: YAY or NAY?
Personally I use makeup everyday since I was 14 years old. I only don't wear if I'm going to the beach, but I'll still wear a lipstick. But if I'm going running with a friend, I'll at least wear foundation and lipstick. I know it's probably not a very good judgement because when you work out you sweat and because you wear…

Eating when you're not actually hungry?
I find that I do this ALL THE TIME. It's very upsetting because I know I'm not taking care of my body the way I should. But it's really nervous eating and sometimes even 'boredom-eating'. I know most of you guys probably know what I'm talking about. So I would like to know stories about what you've been through when it…

Never eat the amount of calories I should daily.
I have found quite difficult to eat the amount of calories I'm supposed to. I always end up lacking huge amounts. It probably doesn't help that I usually don't eat lunch because I always wake up around noon now during Summer. So does anyone know any tricks or easy to make foods that can compensate? Love, Rita x
