Hey, if anyone wants, I'm SteppinonDeArrows on MFP. People on MFP can check out my profile. We can even become friends and get healthier together. Friends get to look at my food diary/journal thing and see what I'm having.
-
1.1 lbs a week minimum. That's the rate I have to lose by to meet my weight loss goal. Sounds reasonable.
-
Completely reasonable!
-
-
I think MFP is going to be good for me. I experimented and logged a second day as less than 1,000 calories and a message came up saying I should eat more. I actually had, but I just wanted to see what would happen.
-
Switched from CRON-O-meter to MFP. Hoping it's better for me.
-
Ugh! So confusing! Why is there never just one answer when it comes to diet things!? I know it's different for everyone but does it have to be so difficult to figure out the right macronutrients for me!?

There is only one answer. Eat less or more than you need to suit your goals. Everything else is needless complication.
-
There should be a flowchart somewhere on the interwebz by now. I shall scour!
-
Sometimes just trying different diets can help you figure it out.
-
If I have two salty meals the day before and then exercise more than usual the day after the weight gain I see is water weight, yes?
-
Almost entirely, yes. I've put on eight lbs. of water weight in a day on several occasions. If you drop the carbs and sodium for a day, up the greens and you'll pee most of it out.
-
Thanks, Venin.
(You know, most people think of carbs as bread and pasta but veggies can be carbs too if you eat enough of them...) -
It's true, but you'd have to have some kind of iron stomach to over eat most veggie carbs.
-
-
This lower carb diet is not working for the ammount of DDR I do. I'm going back to reccomended settings. I was doing better before, I think.
-
I got SO sick with low carb! Like renal shutdown, autoimmune mess up, then I gained back my weight plus some more... Maybe it doesn't work for EVERYbody...
-
My brain was in a fog, I was feeling a bit lightheaded and quite drained. Is that something like what you mean? How low carb did you go to get that level of illness, ketogenic? I was only going on Zone macros.
-
-
I guess...my body was trying to make up for lack of nutrients and calories by making me eat more? I did do a lot on a little yesterday. At least I chose one of the healthier options on the menu, if not the healthiest which it probably wasn't. Considering my choices today, I guess I did a sort of modified Paleo, maybe.
-
Nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt! Why didn't I think of it before? Protein and some carbs without fats! I should have been eating it all along!
-
-
Cold hands, irregularities in the system, lack of energy...Grr! Fine! I get it! Eating 1,000-1200 calories with unaccounted-for exercise is not enough! I'll set my level higher! Stupid thing...Heh, stupid me too.

One meal out won't tank you. =) Find your happy medium!
-
What could a cheerful psychic do for me?
-
XD Well played.
-
I'm back on my diet! I did well today!
I also just ordered "My Weight Loss Coach" for the Nintendo DS from ebay. Cheaper, and probably more fun, than fitbit and with more features than a regular Wal-Mart pedometer for the same price. -
Okay, so I overate today. That's fine. It's Christmas. It's not going to mess me up. I'm going right back on my diet tomorrow.
-
It's a Christmas present - don't knock it. One slip off the wagon will not kill you with dysentery.
-
-
Right, new plan: less carbs, more protein and fats. No more headaches.

Ah, well, it's good to hear that. Makes my plan feel more sensible. Now I just have to figure out this "macros" thing of how much I should get for each. Also, more carbs from non-starchy veggies and such rather than refined sugars and flours.
-
Found the macros I'm going to use and I'm starting on them Dec. 26!
-
I ate a lot of protein today. Gonna have a big salad with a homemade potato roll for dinner.
-
YES! 153 lbs for realsies this time! (Well, 152 1/2, actually, but I always round it up.)
-
Ugh! Why do I keep doing this to myself!? I feel horrible!
Too much sugar.- Show previous comments 8 more

Ah,the white stuff messes with your brain chemicals... Glad you're feeling a bit better
-
Thanks, hybrid756. Now to deal with the water weight from the workout that didn't help the headache go away like I thought it would.
-
Just had a sugarless dinner: oatmeal made with 1/2 almond milk and 1/2 water with almond slivers. Thank you, Stevia!

My dance pad start button got stuck like it sometimes does. This time, it was on Endless Mode. Played 15 songs before I remembered I could get out of it by pressing select. I play on my terms, not my controller's. Good workout, though.
