TDEE vs MFP
Questions for the masses -- first the background info -- I have seen several posts on TDEE and so I looked it up and it recommends 2400 - 20% for me which is about 400 calories higher than what I have from my settings on MFP using similar input. So, the questions are - what do you use, have you done both and which was…

Do you know where your food comes from?
So a while ago I watched Food, INC and I just wanted to send out a topic concerning to eat organic or not! I found the whole food production to be a bit overwhelming and frankly scary for me and I have really looked at what I am eating and what I am supporting by purchasing non-organics. At any rate, curious if anyone else…

Not new, but left for a while and now... back
Okay, so I thought I had a handle on everything and was so proud of myself less than a year ago. Now.. I am 2 inches wider on both waist and hips and thoroughly disgusted with myself.

Why do people....
not want to exercise :noway: ? I don't understand this -- have seen several posts now and was just curious the thoughts behind not wanting a healthy body all around. Exercise is a stress reducer, libido increaser, self-confidence building, heart-ticker extender, energy supplier and better resting enabler. So -- what gives?

Confession: I LOVE BROWNIES
I have to confess - brownies remind me of home and I absolutely love them. I can't turn them away.... today they made brownies for dinner - I (yay me) took a small piece and relished it!

Oh Bob's sweet mints
Bob betrayed me today- I snacked on a few of those wonderfully sweet, soft, and innocent mints. Then I had a few more of those scrumptious treats - love the way they dissolve in my mouth - so satisfying, so yummy. I know they don't come without calories but, I've never looked it up.. just had a couple occasionally so -…

My first venting...
Okay, so I don't usually post new threads but I am hopeful someone can hear me vent and say, okay -- you can get through this.
