I started weighing everything possible and I have to tell you what I "thought" I was eating and what I was "actually" eating were definitely not the same. I used measuring cups and was pretty far off with that method. It takes longer but it is so much more accurate to weigh everything possible :)

LOL!! On a serious note I have still been itching my eyes out. Warm cloths do help and I will try the fish oil and see how that goes :) Thanks for the advise and the laughs :)

Drink water it helps a lot and good to boost metabolism :) Find small snacks that will keep you satisfied in between meals. It's not going to be easy but it will be worth it :)

:) Exactly :)

I'm sure the Dr did give ideas and maybe they are not to her liking. Her health problems are there but the feeding tube sounds like it CAN be prevented IF she CAN get some toddler friendly food ideas that interest her daughter and she eats them and gains weight.

As odd ad it sounds some of the best information a parent can get is from other parents. Who's to say the dietitian takes this condition as serious as the mom/ parents do. People in the medical field get paid to care. My sisters 1 month old baby was BF for a few days then my sister got post partum depression an started…

Mac and cheese and hot dogs. Spagetti-o's, French toast, pancakes, waffles chicken nuggets, fish sticks, French fries. Just a few ideas. Ramen noodle soup with crackers my kids and most peoples kids love them I don't mend them once is a great while. Good luck!

I've been working on losing 25 pounds too. My previous logging consist of using measuring cup and logging it that way I will be giving my digital scale a work out and hope to see some hardcore changes on the scales. I am so excited to see where this takes me :)

I have seen and heard how the locals in my own area talk and see what they say about people who frequent a gym they share their thoughts on facebook, it's not nice new or old gym members it's sad. Our Local gym is clich'e and I didn't like it. I wasn't going their to impress anyone but it seems they were all there to hang…

Thank you!!

I stopped going to my local gym for 2 reasons #1 it was a big social gathering I felt rude telling people I paid good money to go their to get into shape, the lady that was soposta be helping new members learn machines was a gabber. I had to try and learn them on my own, ask other people who knew how to show me , or learn…

They were pre selected from MFP I entered in my height 5'9" current weight 196 then selected my activity level as sedentary and I was given those numbers. :) I was originally 2070cal when I first set up with MFP in May. My activity level was set as active then I changed it to sedentary because I really took a good look at…

I found MFP in beginning of end of April/May so forgive me if I didn't mention that it my 1st post. I actually was writing down everything right down to a tsp of mustard. Then someone I frequently see traded workout DVD's with me mention MFP. So I though hey let me try that. It took me some getting used to logging and I am…

Yes it is!! I thought it was my laptop but even my logging was messed right up :/

I tried to quote this in my last message and it didn't , but Yes I do have a digital scale no I haven't been eating back 100% of calories. My plan will now be to weigh everything I can :) eating back is still to be determined I will try to eat back a little to see how it is working out in the beginning. :)

I do have a digital scale I plan to start using it instead of "eyeballing" my fruits or cramming them in to measuring cups. I have a scale so I plan to use it for everything I can. This is a better plan I can keep very good track of everything moving forward. :)

Thanks I was considering making an appointment to see my PC DR and see if she could check some stuff for me. I know my thumb nails are splitting but have been since the birth of my youngest and it has been 3 years now. I'm sure it won't hurt to have her run some tests. :) I thought with me eating healthier since January…

Honestly I was getting burned out, I took a few days just to refresh, maintain what I have lost and looking to start a fresh start. With new eating ideas and I needed to get my motivation back. I admitted I got sloppy in the end so I didn't log. I have ate in moderation it kind of felt good. I did enjoy some nice home…

I love boiled chicken, have you ever had chicken wing dip? The breast are the best ;) I boil and shred my chicken seperatly mix together cream cheese, blue cheese, and hot sauce, add chicken wall~a yummy!! Eat with baked tortilla chips.

How does that look still too low!? I know when I log it will show me more calories to eat back so I' just trying to get my plan straight so I can stick right to it. :) Kiddos have base ball I wont be back on until later. Thanks everyone I appreciate everything!

O.K so I changed my setting to lose 1 pound per week and my activity is still at sedentary so this is what my new goal looks like.

Thanks so much just hearing some one tell me that makes me feel good!! I honestly haven't told anyone really close to me how hard I am trying, because I don't want them to make me feel worse than I make myself feel when I don't succeed. Not sure they would but they would try and make me feel ok with the skin I'm in and I…

Thanks so much I will start using the scale now more often. :) I have wondered if my not weighing migh have ben hindering my weigh loss. I will have to change my settings I was at 2070 and recently changed my settings to sedentary is when the 1200 calories started, I log my exercises and my see where I can eat more. So I…

It should be open.. now :) I haven't logged in a few days... Any pointers if you view mine I am open minded and would love to have feedback if you see something I should change I am ready to do this! :)

I will figure out and open it :)

Thanks!! The link was a great I appreciate you sharing :)

I am not using my wii fit today. I haven't meet my goal set and today was the deal line and can't handle seeing it today. :(

Thank you!!
