Why can't y'all leave me alone please? First off I AM listening, second off I am NOT being adamant! Please people get off my back!

Oh and another thing everyone please take note...when I have logged in the past based on measuring my food by other means instead of weighing IT WORKED...my husband saw a difference and so did I...ONLY thing is I've stopped logging and just have been eyeballing everything which is what hasn't worked....so....I'm gonna…

Yes that does help that I measure my food differently. I've done it in the past and it helped tremendously. I just fell off the bandwagon and need to get back on. As far as refusing to buy a scale....I'm not refusing to buy a scale....I've been discussing this with my husband and we agreed to keep it simple and not get…

I don't weigh my good as I have no method to. I measure with cups or spoons depending on the serving size. For example on the bag of SunChips it will say 15 chips is one serving. I will count out 15 whole chips. It may seem like a stupid idea to you but it works for me. I don't log anymore and just try and guess. Other…

I am not familiar with seasonal veges. Anyone know what is in season?

I'm nervous about eating potatoes because they are so very starchy and carby. I'm not real big on them because of that. Even if I eat mashed potatoes I still feel like I'm getting too many carbs even if I use portion control and don't add any extra butter.

Would love to

Never knew vegetables had carbs. I love vegetables. It's trying to avoid fried vegetables and go for baked or steamed or even occasionally raw vegetables.

What are battle ropes?

How do you drip the body fat %?

How do you reduce bf%?

What I mean by toppings is things like croutons, and cheese...

I do exercise 4-5 times per week

Lose weight....last time I did that routine and calorie counted I lost about 10 lbs

I'm not too new to exercising. I just need to get started again after stopping it for about 3 months. I preferably don't want to gain any weight though :/

I've already lost about 20 pounds just by watching what I eat. I just need to lose 20 more but I'm feeling like I'm about to either slow down or plateau. I just need to know what I need to do to keep from slowing down and avoid plateau for the moment.

That's exactly how I do the circuit...not leisurely at all....I do 2 sets of 10 reps and my cardio I add trunk twists and knee kicks...I'm out of breath when I'm done....I'm only rest for 30 secs between each "station" because the way it's designed is to have that 30 sec rest to clean machine and set up for the next…

So what does everyone think about just swapping out "bad sugar" such as sucrose with natural sugar such as fruit or a sugar alternative such as honey?

I like everyones suggestions but the food I eat is fried, starchy, and sugary. I'm just looking for a change and have heard about the Mediterranean diet and Adkins(not sure about spelling) diet. I just wanna know opinions about those is all.

Yes my Dr said that once I hit my "fertile window" I can only do moderate exercises

Thanks everyone for your responses :)

Yes christinev297. I'm sorry I've should've cleared it in my original post. I'm asking for weight loss purposes.

Most of the time I'm only in the mood for snacks before bed. I can sometimes fight it and go to bed without.

As far as ab workouts do you mean sit-ups, crunches, or trunk twist with weights?

What other cardio machines are there for light and moderate that can be done in 30 mins at a gym?

Yes iPhone 5

So where would a nurse that works for a Dr fall? I am sitting a lot but I am doing a fair amount of walking/standing. In other words I sit just as much as I walk
