I was hesitant to just plug in 500 calories as a rule, so that explanation made it much more clear.<br /> @PurpleUnicorn: Yes, even if I don't follow the recommended calories to a T, I will think twice about eating something junky if I have to log it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-my-fitness-pal-users#post-947518 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 21:59:21 +0000 Boheme 947518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is leellis </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-my-fitness-pal-users#post-947504 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 21:46:05 +0000 blackbird 947504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm there too!

I am so glad it is working!</p> <p>@swurlygurl: It was revolutionary for me and I'll explain. So, when I decide to lose weight, I go overboard... every time. (Hx of disordered eating). MFP warns you when your calorie intake is too low. I blew it off and was like, "Yeah, yeah, less is better..." but then I decided to stay in my range for a few days and not restrict so much. What do you know? Another half pound off.</p> <p>It's been really instrumental in my tracking of calories in and calories out... and makes me mentally check every single thing I put in my mouth!</p> <p>Oh, and you can find me as Zoliepup </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-my-fitness-pal-users#post-946537 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 14:52:41 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 946537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Espion: i just read the reply you were referring to and it makes total sense. although i set my calorie goal using the 500 rule, i do it as a guide and definitely try to listen to my body. If i am starving for example but already reached my calorie limit, i am not going to say "you fail for going over the calorie limit". Alternatively, if i have calories left over to "eat" yet i am full and feel I ate quite a bit, i am not going to eat just because mfp says i can.......where i find mfp useful is that it shows me where i can cut down (how many creams do i need in my coffee? how many tablespoons of cream cheese are really necessary? maybe i shouldn't be eating a bag of peanut m&amp;ms every week!) and then i start to make better choices. it also motivates me to exercise. the weeks where i don't lose weight are definitely correlated with being way over my calorie limit every day and as a result of a high calorie, un-necessary foods. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-my-fitness-pal-users#post-946515 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 14:46:38 +0000 kiddosc 946515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm on as kiddosc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-my-fitness-pal-users#post-946463 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 14:25:22 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 946463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i am on: purple_unicorn</p> <p>i also want more friends on, so anyone who reads this, feel free to add me! just please tell me who you are from HB if it is not obvious :)</p> <p>ETA: oh and i am nursing and i used to add breastfeeding as exercise calories but because i burned more calories that way than any other method, it was always showing up as my only source of exercise in the newsfeed and it looked weird! like say i put 500 cals from nursing, then 200 cals from a cardio workout, it would say "purpleunicorn burned 700 cals doing X amount of cardio including breastfeeding"</p> <p>so once i figured that out, i just changed my daily calorie goal to account for nursing. for example, if i want to lose a pound a week, i just set it to "maintain" my weight since when you set it to a pound a week, it subtracts 500 cals a day and then i get to add 500 for nursing. HOWEVER, that was not effective for me personally as i was still hungry and always went over my limit and I felt discouraged, so i decided to set it to lose half a pound a week, which would mean a deficit of 250 cals per day, so i have it set to gain half a pound a week to account for the nursing, make sense? in the second week i did it that way, i lost 2.1 pounds! the week after i lost 0.2 (better than gaining in my opinion!) and this week i feel i am doing good too, i'll see how much i weigh on monday, fingers crossed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-my-fitness-pal-users#post-946423 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 14:16:06 +0000 Espion 946423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: I'll check it out! </p> <p>Also, I looked up "breastfeeding/dieting" yesterday and came across this: <a href="http://caloriecount.about.com/forums/pregnancy-parenting/breastfeeding-losing-weight" rel="nofollow">http://caloriecount.about.com/forums/pregnancy-parenting/breastfeeding-losing-weight</a></p> <p>It's an annoying website, but the post from "cmillington" was helpful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-my-fitness-pal-users#post-946360 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 14:04:12 +0000 Boheme 946360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Espion: I like it a lot! I tend to uh, forget how much I'm shoveling down every day. If I remember that I have to log something, I think twice before I eat it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-my-fitness-pal-users#post-946035 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 12:37:52 +0000 doodlepoodle 946035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to, but I'm not on it anymore.

I really want to, but I get tired of it after a few days. Do you just find it beneficial as a way to track calories, or is there something else that I'm not 'getting' </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-my-fitness-pal-users#post-945956 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 12:08:31 +0000 Espion 945956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: I'm thinking about signing up. Is it worth it? I'm curious about the breastfeeding thing. I feel like my supply is tenuous enough! (Although, it is seriously improved with Domperidone.

I've seen it done both ways. I don't want to log too few calories! </p>
