Need some feedback getting discouraged

Can you make your food / exercise diary public?

Keep going. Don't be too hard on yourself, because I sort of let my dieting go during the holidays and just celebrate. A new year is an opportunity to set me goals for yourself. My husband and I are competiting; our goal is to lose 30 lbs each. Our reward will be a cruise. I wanted to look nice in my bathing suit. As far as being a picky eater when it come to your fruit and veggies, well he is too. But there are sooo many varieties these days out there. What I do is get recipes online (that look good to me) that contain a fruit our vegetable that I don't particularly care for and try it. Usually, I'm very pleased with the result. Keep up the good work. I love this myfitness pal, and actually look forward to inputting my information daily.

Keep your diary open, at least to your friends, it helps to keep you accountable for what you consume. As for veggies and fruits, there are a ton of different ways to have your veggies, you may even find something you enjoy with a vegetable you disliked.

Don't throw yourself into something you dislike, you'll overwhelm yourself and end up back where you started.

If you are weighing daily, stop it!!!! Weigh your self once a week. Diary your food intake. Also try a chewable multivitamin. I use bariatric vitamins through procarenow.com. I'm not a sells rep. I also work out 5 reps per exercise. About 15 minutes, then walk frequently. I also put my clothes basket farther away to walk back and forth further and more. I run up and down the stairs so I am getting cardio in. Try making regular house work an exercise too. Try filling up on protein, chew into a pureed consistency. Eat veggies and fruit as a snack, starting with veggies. Spice them up with sauces in low fat, or add low fat cream cheese, chuck cheese, and cut your sugar intake. This includes carbs. Your worst enemy is soda, especially diet. They are weight gainers. Try flavored water pkgs most are sugar free, juice, milk and push water. I know this a lot to learn and reason, but you can start little and work big! You can do this. Change your mind and it will change your view!!!

I have found the most important thing I do is being completely honest when I log my food and exercise. A taste here and a taste there really add up! And even though it is not fun, exercise at least 4 times a week. Drink at lease 1 gallon of water a day. Most important, do not give up!

Don't give in! Remember the reasons why you wanted to do this in the first place... The thing I am really focussing on is what I want from my future, and comparing that to how sad and uncomfortable I am about my body now. If it's for your health, your self esteem,,,whatever your reasons...stick with it! That way you'll never look back and wish you'd never stopped! x

I try to keep my workouts ever changing...keeps in interesting. How about you?

It's not open for me. What are you averaging on Net totals? And what do you mean "logging as much as I can"? I am anal about logging. I log everything down to my 5 calorie stick of gum. The little things add up. Plus if you aren't netting 1200 you may to boost your intake up with protein and fiber and decrease your carb intake. And how are you in relation to your cycle? Some women will hold water weight during that time. Just some suggestions, nothing is gospel though.

I think before you make any big changes you need to really focus on logging. Little things add up. If you aren't able to be sure exactly what you're putting in then you don't know what you're working with. And definitely reconsider your calorie intake. MFP is pretty good at knowing what your body will need. And make sure you are staying hydrated. I drink around 80 ounces a day. It's good for you digestion, it's good for your skin, it helps keep you full, it flushes your kidneys. It has so many positives!
Again, I'm not an expert but just things that I've known to be helpful!
