    HELP
    :sad: I am feeling a bit low. I have been eating right, excersising like wonder woman 5 times a week for an hour, drinking lots of water. logging all my food and eating some of my leftover calories after excersising and still only 2 pounds lost in months.

    I dont get what I am doing wrong? I have had my thyroid checked. It is fine. I dont get why Im not losing weight!? Anyone else in the same boat? Have any good suggestions? Thanks


    Have you tried not eating your earned exercise calories?
    i'm sorry, but that's awful advice, in my opinion! MFP already creates a deficit, so consistently being under your goal by a a couple hundred puts us in a HUGE (unhealthy) deficit

    I agree. I dont want to be unhealthy. I would for sure have problems then. lol

    As many others have said, you need to visit that section of the grocery store off to the side that has all the multi-colored foods.

    This is a kind of weird but simple way to think about mixing in produce: Eat at least one serving of each color every day if you can...

    Green - Spinach, Arugula, Lettuce, Avocado, Zucchini
    Orange - Oranges (naturally), orange bell pepper, habaneros, carrots
    Blue/Purple - Blueberries, Eggplant, blue potatoes, kale
    Red - Red Bell peppers, red onion, apples, pomegranate, radishes
    White - onions, turnips, Bok Choy (some green there too), Daikon, potato
    Tan/Light Brown - Spaghetti Squash, Pineapple,
    Yellow - squash, lemons

    It also makes shopping kind of fun spending time picking out and trying new "colors".

    I printed out the "color" choices you gave. I am taking it with me next time I grocery shop! Very helpful info. Thank you! ;)
