And obviously I am exaggerating, but there does need to be some sort of change and false advertising really needs to be cracked down on.

Why do they not advertise honestly and offer serving sizes that are realistic? No one eats half a can of ravioli. They eat the whole can, but if they label it as half a serving they can advertise it as 220 calories. Advertising as all natural and healthy when something has added sugars and tons of fillers. I shouldn't have…

I am very all or nothing. I eat perfectly, or terribly. I know I need to find a middle ground, so I put my calorie goal up from 1200 to 1500. However, it makes it even harder because not going over is difficult. Reading these, I think many of you are correct and I am starving by the time I get home, and lose control. Also,…

Thank you all!

I want to be leaner, but have so much trouble with lifting weights and eating healthy. When I exercise I get super hungry and overeat

Okay, so it's normal then. Makes me feel better :)

@VonicaFlear you just made my day better haha

Thank you all! I finally am seeing progress as my sodium levels decrease and my exercise and gym time increases. I just need to realize it takes time.

Hello

Is it normal to lose weight and not inches?

I lost a pound today! I think I was holding a lot of water, and now I feel back on track. Thank you all, you really helped me feel better.

Oh I see! My water intake has went up and since my meals are preportioned they have more sodium than I would like. Maybe that is why.

I have been eating only proportioned meals while I get on track. For other stuff I use measuring cups or guesstimate but make sure to really overestimate if I do so.

I have to say, I was losing more weight before when I was eating 1800 and exercising more? This was before I got off track.

Only thing I can think of is i am on an IUD (hormone based) and have PCOS. But doctor's won't give me medicine because they say I am overweight but healthy.

I'll try to stay positive, but I just needed to vent. I feel like something is wrong with me! But also I might just not be patient.

You are right. I feel less "weighed down" if that makes sense. And @StaciMarie1974 you are right haha you always give me good advice. :)

Also, I have been on my weight loss journey a while and just started really counting calories and being on top of things this past week. Seems like I would have lost a pound or inch at least!

I made a mistake :(

What I am gathering is I need to grab a handle on my weekends and not give in to peer pressure haha

Okay. So maybe I should try more realistic goals such as 1200 and exercise 5 days a week, and the overage I can move to weekends. And you know how it is. You say "I am on a diet" and suddenly people start bringing you food and drinks and telling you to live a little haha

What about: 800 per day (total 4000) 5 days a week, and 2200 on weekends? That adds up to 1200 a day.

Thank you all

I might be overestimating my splurging on the weekends, but when I drink of course it is easy to "alcohol eat". I am trying to not drink alcohol at for a bit, but it such a social thing it becomes hard. I will try to put reminders on my phone to choose diet soda and vodka or something like that. That is a good idea. I will…

Rofl. I need one of those then for my kale chips. Thank you so much.

Someone answered really well up there, but basically PRK does not leave a flap and has less risk but a longer healing process. I like sports and did not want to risk the flap coming dislodged in lasik and losing vision, so I chose PRK. PRK is also recommended by the military and other organizations.

Thank you! I am doing much better. My mom is part of the reason I finally went for it, as she had been encouraging me to do it for a long while.

Yeah my diet is ruined every weekend cause of alcohol it seems like. Plus, alcohol makes me eat more anyway sigh

Me too! I sometimes dip into anemia so I was told to take one, and finally have been on track with having them 5 days a week. I only take them 5 days a week cause I take one each day at my desk at work. I also figure it gives me two days to detox if I got too much ADEK.

On the same thread, do taking vitamins really reduce cravings because your nutrients are being met at a basic level?
