Thanks @kshama2001 - I would be very hesitant to eat back all my calories from a workout if i didn't have a heart rate monitor but I still am either way
-
Okay thank you @janejellyroll! I thought it'd be too low! I honestly cannot eat back 500 additional calories - i do a pretty good job staying full!
-
@trwww I only say 550 because that is what my heart rate monitor is telling me, and I use aerobics as a general because I don't know what to enter Orangetheory exercises at

I'd love to have a friend too! i've been a member forever but have just committed about a month ago to making over my diet and lifestyle! i love to have an accountability buddy!
-
Love how helpful everyone has been! This was my first post so I won't lie I was worried about what some people may say but I'm only inspired now. I need to make some small changes and stay on the same path!

I do an hour of strenuous exercise. It is interval training with a combination of the treadmill, rowing machine and weights. It is determined by a heart rate monitor which ads my height and weight in the equation. I actually wore two different heart rate monitors in the beginning because I was hesitant on the number one…

Thank you! I have pre-logged to an extent where I type out my meals for the week Monday-Sunday and write in my breakfast, snacks, lunch etc so I'm never in a black hole because that's where I go down hill. But it's no different if i were to actually log it! Thanks for that!

Okay i'll definitely try weighing it @Franci27 as far as the spaghetti squash and meat sauce - i made the recipe myself so I know exactly whats in it. I do wear a heart rate monitor during my workouts so I take the information from that for my calories. There was a point where I was actually wearing two heart rate monitors…

I did weight watchers a ways back when it was points plus - i lost 30 pounds on it. Smart points - for whatever reason, i cannot lose weight with. I loved the sense of community i found at weight watchers but I have found that here where it is free and thousands of people and not the same 20 people each meeting

Thank you @jessicaferrara! I try not to judge the scale that's why i measured and am trying to go off clothes etc but its hard to not pay attention!
-
That's a good idea @Rachelr116 - i often log most of my food at the end of my work day just because i don't have time. I'm trying to plan my calories by the week now writing out a meal plan for next week now to know my goals.

Thank you everyone! I will definitely take to weighing everything instead of using measure cups. Generally not logging on weekends is just because I have eaten the same thing but never had time to log it. Like this past weekend we went to Disney, I portioned out all of my food and packed it and never ate anything outside…

Thank you @tanyaderryrussell I was able to put on a pair of jeans I haven't attempted to wear in forever. They were tight but good when all my clothes were dirty from vacation lol!! That's why I chose to measure! I think that would be a little more accurate!

I just opened my diary @janejellyroll - I am still figuring everything else. As far as selecting from the database, I try to scan everything I have or input the recipes. There are some foods that I am not certain so I generally try to pick the average item calorie wise. I measure my portions by either using cups or…
