What in the world?
So because of Excercise, I have like 700 extra calories to eat, about 1050 left for the day-however, I have only 8 grams of fat left- Does anyone else battle this? Lots of calories left to eat, but not much fat? Or does no one else count fat grams along w/ calories?

Now I'm really confused. Any ideas?
I just calculated my BMR, in order to stay alive, basically, I need 1740 calories. So how come I am supposed to eat 1680?? That's only a 60 calorie deficit per day, no wonder I'm not losing!!! Could MFP really be this wrong? I'd rather be wrong, but it doesnt make sense. In order to lose 1 lb/week, I need a deficit of 3500…

GAINED FIVE lbs this week-

Seems like I'm not 'going' as much as I need to....Friday I drank 1 gallon of water and apparently retained every ounce of it- I watch my sodium uintake,…

The Biggest Loser show- does anyone know?
I watched this show for the first time ever last night-- holy moly!!! I loved it!! I cant believe I've never seen it!!!

I am so envious of them, but of…

Finally Broke My Plateau!!!
After over FOUR months at yo-yo-ing at the same weight (give or take four lbs), I finally broke my plateau!! I'm even in a new "decade"...Woo Hoo!! What broke it for me was this new 'program'.- MFP!! I lost the first 40-42 lbs on Weight Watchers- Which was great, but I needed a change- so I did it "on my own" for awhile…

Evening Eating-

Tanning bed at the gym-
Does it seem odd to anyone else that there are tanning beds at gyms? My gym is a big pusher of their tanning beds/services. They must make money at it as they are constantly pushing. It seems to me that a place that is so into healthy lifestyles/ fitness, healthy eating, etc would not include something that has proven so…

How much water do you drink?
I've heard in the past that drinking 1/2 your body weight in ounces is great for weight loss ( I heard this through Weight Watchers) I tried it and it really did make a big difference. Now actually getting back into that habit is a whole 'nother battle! So how much do you drink?

Hey There!
Hello- I thought I'd check this out for a change. I' had been losing weight with weight watchers for about the last 11 months ( about 45 lbs) and while I know it works, I'm now on my second plateau in about two months, so I'm shaking things up with something new. So far I really like this board! :happy:
