TDEE help
Hi I just figured my TDEE and it seems too high at 3400. I split it 8 - 8 - 8 because I sleep for 8, work for 8, and sit around for like 8. Is this accurate? I don't exercise because work takes too much out of me...I walk, lift, walk, lift, rinse and repeat. That's all I do for 8 hours, there is absolutely no sitting or…

0 calorie peanut butter
Saw this garbage and figured it was at least worth a try since one of my favorite foods is totally loaded with calories (peanut butter) and even though the ingredients weren't promising I bought it anyway. Got home and tried it right away. Oh my god it was the worst thing I have ever tasted! What an insult to peanut…

3rd shift friends
Hi everyone I accept friend requests from anybody but I'd like to find some friends who log their food and work third shift. It is a lifestyle that is not for everyone but I am determined to lose weight doing it. Also any tips would help - I am good on calories throughout the night but my problem is when I get home - I'm…

losing weight too fast?
I've done it...I lost 10lbs in two weeks. I went cold turkey on pop, mcdonalds, chips, donuts, sugar, etc. and have been eating around 1800-2000 calories a day from fruit, vegetables, sandwiches. Is that too fast? I'm not kidding, I went from 203 to 193 so rapidly! Is this just water weight? edit: almost no exercise…

Wii - Just Dance
Hi everyone I was just thinking about what I can do every morning after work for exercise. Of course my favorite thing to do is walk -- I love nature and I love walking! But it is too cold out. I know that sounds like a bad excuse but really it is. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment with no equipment, nor can I afford any. I…

Frozen vegetables?
I started eating more broccoli recently to eat healthier (was recommended by people here) and I have been been buying it frozen. I really hate raw broccoli...but on the flip side I love it cooked. I know now that canned veggies are a big no-no, but what about frozen stuff? It tastes so much better!

Why I got so overweight...
This is kind of a confession too, I just want to warn ya'll about something called marijuana. Now it's not a bad drug in moderation, used sparingly in a social setting, but I created a lifestyle of it. I'd smoke every day, and immediately get hungry every day, consuming everything from fast food to entire pizzas. I'd eat a…

Not feeling full on 1800-2000 cal
A week ago today I dined on pizza, eating like 4 big slices, deciding this would be my last indulgence. I had decided to lose weight and join MFP. However, I soon discovered.... Eating a low calorie diet after years of a lifestyle of shoveling my face like mentioned above is HARD. I feel hungry all the time! I used to eat…

no carb diet is FAILURE
After a day of the no carb thing I've had enough. The advise I was given in my introduction thread was great, I now see why a no carb diet is unrealistic. Here is my food log for today: Egg - Scrambled, 4 egg (44g) Generic - John Morrell Bacon, 68 g Double Luck - Canned Green Beans, 1 cup Amick Farms - Boneless Skinless…

Anyone work(ed) at Walmart?
Hi everyone I am revising my goals because it seems like I'm doing a bad job at achieving them :( for the "active" lifestyle I'm unsure whether or not I fit in that category. If anyone here has been an overnight stocker at Walmart what would you recommend? Basically I do much lifting, walking, and stocking all night every…

getting into this too fast?
Hi, I'm Amber, I am 5'4 and don't have a scale but I *think* I am around 209. I am scared to weigh myself - what if I weigh more than that? I'm ashamed. I am fat. Fatty with a tire around my stomach. My stomach turns at the shame I feel. I know they sell scales at good will but I don't want to know. I have cut out carbs,…
