Yay! I've lost weight!
I posted in the introduction thread, but here's my info: Height: 5'4" SW: 166 CW: 164 GW: 150-155 So I started this a week ago and I've lost 1.6 pounds. I can look at myself and see the loss so I think it's more. I have a non-functioning thyroid and even with proper meds my metabolism is minimal. I also can walk by a salt…

Do not totally rely on the scale!
This is for anybody that puts all their faith in the number on the scale. Do not only rely on the scale for your results. The scale will show you as a different weight every single day.

A tighter belt hole!!
I was very frustrated with my scale. It wasn't moving. I decided that I was obsessing too much and so I gave up weighing for Lent.

Still trying to figure out needed calories
My TDEE is 1611. My BMR is 1342. TDEE - 20% is 1289. If I add my TDEE for all 7 days and subtract 3500, it's 1111 calories per day. MFP puts me at 1200. I've been eating at 1350 just so I can stay around my BMR. My exercise is sporatic so I set the TDEE to sedentary. I've maintain the same weight for about a month, without…

Words are not the same
It's very common for some words to be used wrong. Sometimes they sound alike but have different spellings and different meanings. Am I the only one that notices? There, their, and they're are not the same Lose and loose are not the same Desert and dessert are not the same If it countable, use fewer. Otherwise use the word…
