Yes, you can eat 2468 calories daily and burn 2968 calories. You should lose about a 1 lb/week.
Weight Loss	Help! My first week has gone terribly awry!!!!!	Jul 06 2012 00:48 (UTC)	37
An increase in activity tells your muscles to produce/store more glycogen for energy. I think I read that a glycogen molecule has 2 water molecules attached.

Original Post by sweetteach86: ......going to McDonald's to get the lowfat reduced fat vanilla come. Even though it's only 150 calories, it wasn't necessary to eat it. What are some strategies to help fight these urges?? I do the same thing. It satisfies my sweet tooth and my cheap side!

Health & Support	Could it be the artificial sweetner?	Aug 27 2011 01:51 (UTC)	5
Truvia/stevia which is supposed to be natural, causes me painful bloating but Splenda or Equal doesn't.

Original Post by sas8898: ..... I did as you suggested. I increased my calories to 1600. For some reason, now I'm hungry but I have lost 2.4lbs in the last few days! This is amazing. I can't believe that eating more is helping me lose weight. .... I love it when this happens!
Health & Support	Am I on the right track for my son?	Jul 01 2011 12:56 (UTC)	4
When my then 11 year old son (18 now) was filling out too much I noticed he was drinking alot of juices and sweet drinks. He also had a sweet tooth. I knew from experience that any talk how/what he was eating would make him overly self concsious and cause him to hide what he was eating. Kids really can't control their appetite just because their parents explain the problems of overeating. Anyway I stopped buying juice and only kept water and crstal lite ( for me) in the fridge. Sweets we had only occasionally. I did notice if he went to a party where there was sweets he definately went a little crazy but I tried not to say anything. I even told the doctor to not say anything negative to him about his weight. It took a few years of growing but now he's a toothpick. Good luck

Health & Support	Not sure how much more of this i can take!	Feb 24 2011 15:23 (UTC)	5
Telling your father of your recovery plans will most likely relieve his stress.
The Lounge	Ok i kinda have a sort of dumb question but..	Sep 27 2010 14:01 (UTC)	6
Original Post by raychelc: You have to hang out where people your age are. You could take your online study stuff to a coffee shop, for instance, where lots of other young people are sitting/chatting studying. You could enroll in some kind of class..maybe dance or martial arts, or yoga..anything you're interested in doing that is designed for your age group. Taking online high school doesn't mean you can't take any classes at a community college, right? So, maybe you take your English credits there (Find out if it will count toward your diploma, though) Or maybe a fun class..like ceramics, something that may not be worth actual credit, but will get you around others your age. You could also try some volunteer work..reading to kids at a library, visiting old people in homes, walking dogs in animal shelters, etc. Lots of volunteer programs are made for young people who need the hours for school and whatever. Just gotta get where the people are. = ) This is excellent advice.

Try sitting next to those people on a 4 day cross country bus ride. Gives you a new appreciation for the little things in life.
