Ive tried to narrow down the debate to a very simple logical train of thought that should clarify the importance of not counting ONLY the calories you eat.

Self Respect Bank
haha so exercising and eating right off and on with spurts of binge eating and zero exercise mixed in over the last few years has netted me a result of not much improvement. Good news? I have read some great books, had some good association and conversations, and feel like some things have clicked mentally that has…

What are your "withdrawals"?
This might not be what you expected, but I'm actually asking about withdrawals from your "self respect bank". Ive started looking at my self image and self respect as an account which I can "deposit" into and grow (making good decisions in any area that I'm proud of) or make "withdrawals" from (bad decisions I'm ashamed…

Tracking foods not in MFP database?
Going to dinner tonight at a restaurant whose foods aren't in MFP database. I'm not worried about staying within the caloric goal I have plenty of room for dinner but this means my nutrient ratios for the day will be off. Suggestions anybody?

To record my journey thus far and my thought process starting out I'm putting everything…

Celery
It actually is a NEGATIVE calorie food. Celery contains fewer calories than it takes to chew it up. so its possible to burn calories by eating. should eating celery be logged in as Cardio? hah :)

Live Chat? Facebook, Yahoo, etc?
I want to be able to do more than message back and forth via inbox. I believe its the ties between people that really help on MFP not just getting comments from a random screenname youve never taken the time to get to know. i want to hear about your life, your fitness goals, nutrition goals, frustrations, dreams, hopes,…

Caloric difference
Hey all, just trying to get an answer to a quick question. I am a big man at 6'2 389lbs so when i recently got on MFP it gave me an estimated 3550 calories burned just living daily life. So of course it set the goal of 2lbs per week and gave me a daily intake goal of 2550. This goal seemed much too high after a few days,…
