I love eatting my fruit (even more so in the summer when it's hot) & I love…

Question about calorie use
I have a couple questions about calorie use. Are we supposed to use the amount everyday that we are told to? Somedays I am under? I know with Weight Watchers if we didn't eat all of our points, it would stop us from losing. Sounds crazy but true. Also, has anybody ever saved weekly carlories for a weekend function that you…

Breastfeeding question - Probably TMI for many
Okay-so I don't actually have a question about breastfeeding. I'm pretty well educated on the whole subject. I know how many calories extra it takes to make milk. That's not what I'm looking for.

Weight Loss Hypnosis
I wanted to share with everyone my experience of being hypnotized for weight loss reduction. :) Before being hypnotized, she spoke with me about a lot of different things.

The trouble with stretchy jeans is...
...that you really cannot tell if your badonkadonk butt is getting smaller or not! Especially when for the last 8 weeks the scale isn't moving and you are working out 4+ days a week and you are eating most of your exercise calories back and watching sodium and fat and measurements aren't decreasing even though you look…

Chicken leg and thigh, roasted. Bone in, no skin.
Man the calorie count for this is all over the place. I get anywhere from 33 per ounce w/o the bone to 400 with the bone in. I cook this alot, it's great to take to lunch and easy for the hubby to grab a snack. Does anyone know the closest calorie count for lean skinless dark meat?

Plateau :(
I've been at the same weight (or maybe a pound more) for over a week after 7 weeks of consistently losing about 2 pounds per week. I had strep throat over the weekend and barely ate at all because my throat hurt so bad and even with that I didn't lose anything! Any ideas on why? I've been super consistent with my eating.

Is something wrong with this....
So I feel like I may be missing the point of this whole calorie counting thing. I find that most days (okay, everyday) I exercise so that I can eat. I'm given 1400 calories per day but I really do feel like I can eat more than that. Even when I choose the best foods I have available I still will run out of calories if I…
