I guess since I lost 10lbs in the first 2 weeks it was weird to totally stall for Sun thru Wednesday. I am new to all of this so learning as much as I can. kshama, I started this right at my TOM 2 and a half weeks ago and I am at ovulation time in the past couple days. I realize I sound pretty damn stupid to a lot of you…

It could be slow, jolybac but I have IBS D and before I started all this, I was running to the toilet a dozen times a day with NON solid results. Eating anything would set it off within a couple minutes of being done. That is why this is so weird. I will try your suggestions.

Ok...I realize I have crap in my food diary but look back...it isn't all crap. I am eating extremely lean beef, freshly ground turkey, and a LOT Less processed freezer stuff than I used to. I used to LIVE on everything processed and fast food. I do realize I have to incorporate healthier food in there but compared to the…

LOL....try a different profile pic...IT WORKS.

I have been reading up a lot today on the "myth" of starvation mode and it makes sense to me so I am not going to be concerned with taking in a minimum of 1200 calories. If I am not hungry, I am not going to force myself to eat. I used the calculator in the link you provided TravisGM92 and for the goal of fat loss, my…

I have a food scale. I am measuring everything now. The only thing I am not measuring is the prepackaged stuff that is already in individual servings like fiber bars and if I have a prepackaged meal.

So fat isn't necessarily going to go right to my *kitten*? I LOVE my cheese but good LORD is that stuff bad in the fat dept....lol

I understand that the quick burst is just that and that it won't last. My goal is to find out now the best way to continue so I am not harming my efforts after that burst is over. Is it OK to eat less if I am not hungry or do I HAVE to get that minimum of 1200 calories to stay at a 1-2lb loss a week after my "burst" is…

With all the exercising and strength training, I am guessing with you losing inches and getting stronger that you are gaining muscle which is heavier than fat. I have seen that talked about a lot.

Veggies yucky...Cheesburgers GOOOOOOOOOOOD....lol

Feel free to add me. Just starting out.

Hi Toni, Laura and Connie. I am looking to lose between 50 and 65 and just started a week ago. Please feel free to add me. I don't have many friends on here yet. I post a lot too. I am beginning to feel like I might look like a flake because I seriously am starting from scratch. I didn't know anything about all this stuff…

Don't need salad dressings..I can't put anything leafy or stalky in my mouth or I gag....lol. I think it was from Mom forcing us to eat salad when we were little or something but even if a small piece of lettuce makes it in a taco, I FIND IT...lol. I heard a lot of people use the greek yogurt in place of sour cream. Does…

I want to ultimately lose 50lbs but certainly wouldn't argue about 10 or 20 more on top of that if I want to be at where all those height weight charts say I should be. I am 5'3" and was 2.4 4 days ago. I couldn't resist weighing myself today and it is 199.5 so I am setting my goals in 5lb increments. I would be thrilled…

I cooked 2 3lb bags of tyson boneless skinless breasts in the crockpot the other day. I used to use italian dressing when I did that but I used chicken broth this time with some spices and then pulled the chicken out when it was done and put several cubed up potatoes in the broth and cooked those. I even put a tablespoon…

kgirlhart, can I ask yoiu how long it took you to meet your goal?

Thank you so much. I have never been a huge sweet eater...just a little something every couple of days was enough so that wasn't an issue. Mine is with CHEESE. I love cheese and sour cream on my baked potatoes. I haven't had any in the few days I have been doing this but I will be making some mac and cheese here soon. That…

Thank you so much, ladies. Ok, for all the questions. Yes, I will get a food scale. I was just measuring so I could at least be close to what MFP says for the nutritional info. Standard thickness wheat or white bread, standard thickness deli american cheese, 2 large eggs and even a piece of thick cut bacon in there. If I…

Hi Everyone. I am new to MFP, Dieting and have been completely sedentary for the past 6 years. I got a Garmin Vivofit 2 and firs day only managed 1/2 a mile at a brisk pace and then next 2 days I did 2 miles at a very brisk pace. Logging all my food is teaching me a lot but yesterday and today my shins are KILLING me.…
