Apple Watch Active Calories
Has anyone found their watch to be accurate? Mine is definitely not. I did about 90 days where I exercised and watched what I ate and kept my calories within my Apple Watch numbers and I didn’t lose even one pound lol. I did however manage to go from not a runner to being able to run for 25 minutes straight which I thought…

Not sure whats happening
Hi all! Been awhile since I've posted on here. I can't figure out what's going wrong with my weight loss program. I weigh my food. I watch portions carefully when I am not near a scale. I have been eating around 1500 calories/day for a week now and I somehow weight more than i did 7 days ago. My TDEE is 2012 calories/day,…

TDEE can this be right?
just a quick question. I've calculated me TDEE on a couple different sites and it's coming up as 2600 + calories. I also breastfeed and have read and been told that I'm probably burning around 300 calories/day producing milk. So this would put my TDEE at around 2900. Is that accurate? It feels like it's quite high. Thanks!

Scoobys calculator
Hi all! I've been using scoobys calculator for all of my calculations (I did use a few sites and averaged them out, but scooby is pretty darn close to my diary setting) anyway, I recently did 28 days at 1700/calories a day (which is my "desk job TDEE). Now I did NOT maintain, I lost 7.4 pounds. Now knowing this, I could…

Need some like minded friends! :)
Hi all! I'm looking for some lady friends who "eat like a man, but look like a woman" lol! I've decided to up my calorie goal to 2000 and would like some like minded friends who are willing to share support :) . NETTING this much sorta scares me, so I feel that more friends I have that share the same mindset, the better. :)

My 28 day experiment was a success!
I would like to start by saying, I'm lazy. Lol. Yes I want to exercise, but most days I just want to sit around and do nothing....even more so now that we have over a foot of snow here! Haha! So 28 days ago, I realized I'm lazy, well I've always known, I just decided to stop being in denial! So I decided to just watch what…

Have I gone crazy???
Ok, so the hubby an I are going on a little "mini-vacation" this Thursday. We'll be staying in a hotel for three days, but he has some courses to do for work so he'll be gone all day. Anyway, at first I just thought I would wing it on the food front, but have since decided to do this: I'm bringing a bowl and spoon so I can…

Happy, yet confused....
I've recently come back to MFP and decided this time around to use the approach where I don't starve myself lol. So I went to a few different websites figured out my TDEE on those sites and came up with these numbers (rounded to make the math easier): BMR 1500 Sedentary/ desk job 1800 Moderate 2200 Strenuous 2500 Anyway, I…

Resistance and strollers question
I've been reading a lot in the forums lately about weight lifting and cardio. Most of the serious weight lifters suggest that cardio will burn some muscle. I'm not disagreeing, just wondering that since most of my cardio will be pushing/pulling a stroller (walking and riding bike)weighted down anywhere from 30-70 pounds (…

Flaring and in pain :(
Hi all, I was diagnosed with Crohns about three years ago, and since then I've had two flare ups. One two years ago and one now, this flare has been the worst! Started in December, was put on prednisone, came off the prednisone last Friday and was sick again by Tuesday :( . My dr will no longer give me the pred as he…

Add me if you have Crohns!
Hi all! Would just like to start with the fact that my MFP friends are AMAZING! Very supportive and wonderful, but I think I need a few friends with IBS,Crohns, or anything else similar. I have Crohns and am just looking for a little extra support in that area. Some days are good and some are bad. Right now I'm flaring and…

The dreaded "water weight" Warning: Rant
Ok ok. My hubby has been gone for eight weeks, and he was suppose to come home on Friday night. So the kids were gone (this never happens) so I went to the bar to have a drink and wait for him to get home. Well, that one drink turned into a ton of drinks and he didn't even get home untilmthe next day :( . Anyway, I'm a…

Lots of water, good or bad?
Hi everyone, I recently read an article online about water consumption and would be interested in some opinions on the water debate. http://www.canada.com/montrealgazette/news/story.html?id=378f85de-27de-4046-815e-293b772666e5

I have problems...lol
Hi all! I have Crohns disease, and at the moment I'm having a VERY hard time eating my minimum calories for the day. I eat anywhere from 400-800 calories a day depending on how hard I can force myself to eat. For those that don't know, crohns causes MAJOR pain every time you eat ANYTHING (sometimes even water hurts).…

Odd question.....
Soon after I have my first son I noticed that I gained weight a little easier...as in 2-3 lbs a year. Then after having my second son, I noticed that I've held on to about 10 'extra' pounds from my pregnancy. So here's the thing...I still only gain about 2-3 lbs a year, and when I try to lose weight it's difficult (isn't…

Did you factor this in?
Hi everyone! I'm just curious if anyone had factored in TOM and food gain throughout the day into their weight loss goal? Back in April I was 4 lbs away from my goal weight, then I ate enough peanut butter cookies to fill an olympic swimming pool lol. Anyway, i weighed 133lbs and I wanted to weigh 129. I noticed that in…

Drowing doesn't look like drowing
A good read for the summer: The new captain jumped from the cockpit, fully dressed, and sprinted through the water. A former lifeguard, he kept his eyes on his victim as he headed straight for the owners who were swimming between their anchored sportfisher and the beach. “I think he thinks you’re drowning,” the husband…

WHAT DO I DO????
Ok, so I feel off the wagon for about 5 weeks and gained 17 lbs in those 5 weeks. Just this last Monday I got back on track and have lost a little over 4lbs since then. Where I live, once a year, there is a 3 day outdoor concert and while I was off the wagon I bought a ticket ($100), but I know if I go it will be a 3 day…

What do you do when you're family isn't supportive??
Hi all! I have a problem that I'm sure I'm not alone on. I've decided to TRY to live a healthier lifestyle and my family does not support me in this. Sure my finace says encouraging things and sure my kids are watching me get fit, but NONE of them participate! My finace will get mad if I don't keep things in the house that…

Kids and calories
I've recently gotten rid of most things in my hosue that are processed and in general unhealthy and in doing so my kids now don't get the extra calories from crap. I by NO MEANS have my kids on a diet. Just got rid of junk! I have found myself adding up what they eat though...in my own head, I never EVER mention it out…

Body fat
I would like to lose about 3% body fat by the end of June. I'm just wondering if that's a realistic goal? Or should I aim for less? I"m 25% now. I'm 5'5" tall and I weigh anywhere from 134-137 depending on the day lol :)

When will it end?????
When I wake up in the morning I look SPECTACULAR! But by the end of the day I look like I'm 5 months pregnant.....will I ever look as good as I do in the morning all day long, or that just a dream? lol
-
Am I the only one this happens too??
Alot of people on here swear by a 'day off' of they're diet. And say that they wouldn't make it through without it. My predicament is that if I have even just ONE day 'off' I am set back anywhere from a week to ten days. Does this happen to any one else? Is it because I'm so close to my goal weight? It's just so darn…

Recovery Day
Hi everyone! I'm jsut wondering if you have to have a recovery day? I'm trying to lose 1lb a week and at my current weight that gives me 1200 calories a day. There's no way I could eat only 1200/day lol. So I exercise everyday. I burn anywhere from 400-900 cal/day. I do this so I can eat hahaha! Taht would bring my daily…

I GIVE UP!
Ok, so clearly I lack the self control it takes to do this properly. I'll have one good day followed by one really bad day and the pattern continues. I've lost no weight, in fact I've gained nearly 2 pounds in the last month. I also started what I could only call the most intense workout I've ever done in my life and I've…

My diet is now complicated haha!
I remember reading diet books and searching diets online and thinking, " That's way too complicated. I'm way too lazy to do that." Then one day I'm explaining my diet to friend and how I eat this many grams of protien and this many grams of carbs and all the other things. She gave mr a blank stare. In this moment I…
