Yes, two...a 5 yr old and a almost 2 yr old grandsons...they light up my life :)

Thank you, I failed to mention on top of that I have my grandkids alot, and I am like a 50s house wife, I do it all..I do make my son do chores, but generally redo them myself lol my husband takes care of the cars and yard, I have a hard time accepting help, he does offer to help fold laundry or clean, but I usually tell…

Last time I was into doc for this they did say ENT was my next step, however, I did make it ALL winter with out a sinus infection or any major allergy problmens, we bought a house with all hardwood floors, which really seems to help ...no matter how much you vacuum and clean carpet it never seems to get all the dust and…

Not yet, I am the queen of allergies and sinus infections unfortunately. ..I already have a apt scheduled for something else next thursday, so Im trying to hold off until then. I have pretty much all the meds short an extra supply of antibiotics. ..trying my normal regime out first. ..it's usually not this bad as far as…

It's not a runny nose...it's posy nasal drip...it's running down the back of my throat and making it sore and swollen :(

Priorities!!!! Wtg on not having any...I don't drink very often, but if I knew I was planning on drinking during that week...I would DEF pass up DQ and other snacks to make room for alcohol calories!

I'm not too worried..I didn't go over maintenance calories.. I was more aggravated cuz I KNOW a large hurts my stomach. ..I usually have a tummy ache if I finish a small...it just was soooo good after the heat lol BUT lesson learned. ..hard work in the heat hurts...but NOT as bad as a large blizzard lol

Yeah I am feeling it today, hopefully my 12 hour shift and lots of water will help the bloat..it's (my stomach) is so freaking swollen I can't even suck it in...lol I shouldn't laugh...but omg I hurt

Double chocolate extreme...my stomach was so bloated lastnight and still is today...I never ate large blizzards when I wasn't trying to lose weight. ..but it was worth it...1-for the treat and 2- because I know never ever to eat a large again...it's just too much! But it was good!

Getting back into the jeans I bought after I dropped weight last time only to wear them just once before gaining 35 lbs...went from a 16 to a 14 to a 12 (bought 1 pair of 12's wore them one time) then dummied up and now I am back to a 16/18....refuse to get back into the 20/22s I was in many many years ago Oh, that and…

I do agree with you if it's just been a week or two, but if it's been longer, and she's not losing or is gaining, she may be underestimating calories

Agreed! And it's just to much for me, especially when I know there are other, more flavorful, enjoyable ways to create a decifit

I am kind of doing the same, only my tdee changes drastically based on if it is a work day or a non work day...so I am tracking for both, and making adjustments as needed in my log for my tdee..it's a crazy mess..but I don't think it will be so bad once I get used to it

I didn't even read it..not willing to entertain the notion, as I said..been there done that..not for me.... On the days I work it's very hard to track my calories out, I work 12 hour days, running (sometimes literally if my machine happens to catch fire) all day long...2 15 min breaks and no sitting other than that...but I…

Love all these replies...I try to be open minded about most things, because know one knows EVERYTHING and seeing how you all track things and getting some averages as random as they are, actually helps...the only thing I am firm on is cico...but how you achieve that deficit is what's interesting and educational to me :)

Sorry, I meant people do that in 30 mins lol...oh I am not really trying to "compare" I know right now I can't compete with most people, how ever, there are some I could out perform...I was just curious about people's daily routines and such..I'm a people watcher and there were more people at the gym today so it peaked my…

I do 20 mins on elliptical which gives me about 200 and the treadmill gives me about 150 for 30 mins...(keep in mind I am heavy so I burn more calories) there was a gal on the treadmill ahead of me today, and she had 305 for 30 mins on the treadmill...granted she was running pretty much the whole 30 mins...and she's not…

But c'mon really...I'm in shape...round is a shape :p

I agree 100%...I did the keto thing through a dr supervised deal, ultimate fail for me...I have had GREAT results with CICO...however .....when I get to a particular weight I always think "hey I got this" and slack on tracking calories and gain a bunch back....because I gain 10 then I get discouraged and frustrated…

No snag...I understand what I am asking :) and am getting the replies I was looking for. :)

Been there done that..that "program/way of life" does not work for me..not saying it won't work for some, but you have to be dedicated for something to work..and that I am not dedicated too...ty though Originally I quoted the wrong person...sorry

Weight loss is the goal!! Will be adding in some weights, unfortunately running for anything more than literally 1.5 -2 mins is not an option (I have some pretty intense lung issues) anyways. .I do what I can and push as hard as I can, and I am sure in time I will be able to go a little harder, but lungs arnt going to "…

Omg I saw this yesterday..I was like NO FREAKING WAY

Also...not to sound gross or anything, but in the past I have had a tendency to get constipated when eating that low of cals..not enough fiber, water, all the good stuff that makes your system do what it needs to do...this could also be an underlying issue...granted it's not going to make a huge difference, but it may make…

I can see this, however, the scale would still be moving, maybe not for the fact of losing "fat" but muscle perhaps...and I didn't notice in OP post how long it's been since the scale hasn't moved...a day or two or a week or two..that makes a huge difference as well...so many theories, ideas, and beliefs. .and I'm not here…

Sorry that's suppose to say "are you measuring and weighing all of your food OR just guestimating " Won't let me edit for some reason

Eating less is not going to make you gain weight..are you measuring and weighing all of your food and guestimating your portions and calories? If eating less made you gain weight or stop losing weight there would be no starving people or anorexics..it's simple cico .... (although I am sure there will be others who believe…

I tend to gain and lose this particular 35 lbs pretty fast...with in a couple months..then I hit the "nope ain't gonna lose anymore" phase and relaps...2 things I need to work on 1) not getting comfortable and thinking I don't need to log anymore 2) pushing through that stage where everything halts Of course if I could…

"Only 13 people" that's a lot of competition when you're dealing with weight loss...and 9.8 lbs in a month is great! Wtg and keep it up. My work has weight loss team competitions...I have not joined because there is no way I am letting my human resources team know how much I weigh..I don't care who you are..people talk!!…
