i have upped my calories upon overwhelming advice to do so since i wasnt dropping the weight i thought i would. its only been less than 2 wks, & not sure how well its working, since i went out of town over the weekend.

so many ppl talk @ sugar intake & its importance. some feel fruit sugar doesn't matter, some say sugar is sugar... i'm constantly over in sugar bc i love fruit.... HELP please

    I am over in sugar a lot too. I eat raisin bran and take a children's chewable vitamin. The combination of the two put me over everyday, and I don't pay attention to it at all! I have been losing a pound or more a week without problem. The most important thing you can do is drink water!!! I am sure you know upping your calories may result in a gain for the first month, but once your body readjusts, then you will start dropping, and best of all, you have a higher calorie goal, so you don't feel so deprived!

    You definitely need to wait more than 2 weeks to see if the change has helped.

    Also, it could be that you need to up it more than 150cals, not sure since I can't see your diary.

    I never eat my exercise calories back to me that seems defeating. I have been under my calorie goal everyday and have been losing the weight pretty well. I haven't payed to much attention to the sugars.

    Sugar is sugar. I try to limit how much fruit I have a day. I know for others it can be no big deal, but if I have to much sugar I start to gain weight

    I don't worry too much about my fruit, because I avoid sugar elsewhere. And hell, it's summer and fresh fruit abounds... yum!!
