Hi! I'm transitioning to a plant-based diet :) I'll add you

I know it defies logic and science, but a few days of eating whatever I want helps me break a plateau. I'm not sure if my body adjusts to the low caloric intake and slows my metabolism (or whatever people speculate), but a little spike in calories usually helps. I have to go back to a deficit afterwards (or I'll just start…

Wow!! That is certainly a very busy schedule!! Thanks for sharing your meal plans and workout plans with me. Currently weekends are my time off from working out, but I think that you're right and they will soon become my time to workout. Thankfully I live close to school and only have 2 night classes (one being my…

Thanks guys! I am clearer on which ones to log with exercise and which to simply leave. Im still not sure which one I'll use, but all your info helps!! I'm not totally convinced that I shouldn't eat below my BMR.. From what I've read, BMR id the energy your body spends just to survive, without movement (actually in a…

I've been using it and I love it! I love the mossa groove and fight workouts and the jillian michaels ones (some of them require more space then I have). I also use dance central for a little extra cardio!

Hey there! I am also using xbox fitness. I'll add you!

Thanks!! You're right, it's the journey, not the destination. Thank you all for your input. I'm measuring more, working out 5-6 days a week, and chugging water like it's my job! Hopefully that will make a difference.

Hahahah surprisingly I did eat only a bite potsticker! I always overestimate on my splurges, like the onions, which were onion straws (paper thin) and I only had 4. Even when I have a bite, I try to log it.But thank you for your time on going through my log, I appreciate it :) I totally agree with you though and have been…

Hi! I'm 23 and looking for more adds too :) more friends, more motivation, more success!

Hi Virgoddess! Just a quick update: I was weighing my cereal, milk, and banana to try to be more accurate with measuring. As I was pouring my cereal, the weight didn't seem to be corresponding to the volume: the box said 32 grams = 3/4 of a cup, but 32g looked more like 1/2 a cup or less. When I weighed out all the cereal…

Thank you so much for all of this! You really took time to look into this and I sincerely appreciate it :) I like when the internet connects you with nice people. Using the scale more is a good idea. I usually only weigh items that I can't measure (meat, veg, fruits, etc). So I can start weighing more things. I was also…

1. Yes to the scale. I've been super careful as of late, given my problem. 2. I'm hoping to get down to 150/140, I'm 5'6'' 3. I use my polar ft4 heart rate monitor for tracking when I can. My iphone also syncs my steps. 4. Some of the "generic" items are from the database because they were from a restaurant or I didn't…

Just did! I've only got about a week's worth of logging because I was previously using another app. Hopefully that will give you a good enough idea. Thanks for the help!

Hi Virgoddess! Sorry if I didn't make it clear: for the past few months I was doing whatever I wanted; earlier this year (spring/summer) and now (past 3-4 weeks), I have been logging, exercising, and eating well. However, I am still stuck! I know all bodies go through their plateaus, so I'm just looking for a little…

Has anyone mentioned that 1200 may be too few calories? I'm not sure how much you weigh or how tall you are, but 1200 calories is just barely enough calories to survive everyday, especially with the addition of ANY exercise! Your metabolism may be slowing down. I'll echo everyone and say that diet soda isn't great for you,…
