  • @janejellyroll In my diet, I include grains, yogurt, fruit, vegetables, eggs, fish, chicken, pork, beef & some dairy. @Allelito I'm in my fourth week of Insanity. I do measure my food & up until recently I was weighing it as well. I need a battery for my scale. At best, I eat twice a day with no snacking in between.…
  • I list everything I eat. When I was trying to take in 1200 calories per day I still wasn't hitting my goal. I've increased it to 1300, burning anywhere from 600-700 calories a day & still not able to reach 1300. I'm confident I'm not eating more than I think.
  • Sorry, my replies were a little lengthy ... @segacs It didn't post my full reply. I think, & I could be wrong, my body hordes the calories I do take in because it's in starvation mode for the calories have been burning. I don't restrict myself from anything really. I don't crave sweets, drink pop, or take in a lot of…
  • @TeaBea I do eat eggs, use olive oil, add berries to smoothies, but took out milk & switched to almond milk. @janejellyroll I don't use diet foods, but I eat healthy. @dieselbyte My calorie intake was at 1200, now 1300. I was told to increase it gradually. Then maybe I can start to see a change weight wise. @segacs One…
  • Hey chelsiem93! I am slightly new as well & I've had some learning experiences along the way that have been a real eye opener. I read your post & did a little search about carbs & I came across this article that could be helpful! http://www.intelihealth.com/article/carbohydrates-good-or-bad-for-you?hd=Food
  • Thank you @heybales for all your information. I believe most of it makes sense to me :) I'm so new to all of this & it really is an eye opener! I will definitely follow your advice & gradually increase my calorie intake. Also, @Sumiblue ... thank you for sharing! As wells as @Jennbecca33 ... I will look at that link you…
  • G'morning OMGbodyGirl! I'm in the same boat. I have reached out to a few girls on MFP but unfortunately they haven't stuck with it all that much. (I admit I've done the same from time to time.) This go around, I'm committed to the idea of a better body! From what you had written, it seems that you're pretty active! That's…
  • I'm the same way. I think last year I made the decision to make an effort to start working out to lose weight & mostly to get in shape. I've always had a strong metabolism my whole life & never worried about my weight until I turned 38. I'm now 40, soon to be 41 in a few months, & I just want to get down to my high school…
  • I think we're all here for the same reason ;) My goal is to lose 30 lb. by June. I wonder if that's even possible?! I suppose 8lb a month isn't so bad. It seems so scary when I put it out here like this! Add me if ya'll would like! We can hold each other accountable & swap ideas & stories or whatever comes to mind!
