When in doubt I overestimate.

I'm from near Boston... I say Wicked a lot and nevah pronounce my Ahhhh'S

bingo!!!

hydrometer it's called i believe

I believe you calculate calories by measuring the specific gravity of your brew prior to fermentation and then after, then comparing the two...this is also how you calculate the alcohol percentage...they sell this little test tube thing at most all brew shops for only like $10 or so

It's not terrible meals...but you could improve them =) What kind of instant oatmeal? one with lots of extra sugar? You could add fruits and a smidge of brown sugar to plain steel cut oatmeal for a much heathier version. Ham and bean soup made form scratch or a can? Can=too much sodium usually. Garlic bread does not sound…

Lower your goal to .5 lbs per week....then your calorie count will be higher and you won't have to risk going into starvation mode!

OooOoOOooOh this looks AWESOME

Hmm...have you been strength training? Because muscle weighs more than fat...maybe you are just replacing your fat weight with muscle weight?

Wow you can gain 15 pounds and you couldn't really notice =)

Entering all your foods as you eat them all day every day!

I have a Timex Ironman with the chest strap...and after doing an hour of yoga/pilates class....it says i burned like 450 calories. I worked hard....but that honestly seemed high to me! I don't know....I work out on a machine that accurate tracks my heart rate with just my fingers (cross checking with my HRM)...and the…

I weigh like 3 times a week...in my bathroom....no clothes

It's easier to stay under your calorie budget if you eat healthy foods....less dense...less calories....but i like to save at least 100 calories for the end of the day for some frozen yogurt for dessert =)

If you have added strength training, perhaps you are gaining muscle (while still losing fat) as muscle weighs more than fat!

i made mine a reasonable 1/2 pound per week....i get like 1350 calories

I bought one similar to this: http://www.overstock.com/Jewelry-Watches/Timex-Ironman-Heart-Rate-Monitor/5810462/product.html The Timex Ironman Heart Rate Monitor...works pretty well

I found once i started to track my calorie intake...i immediately saw progress...which immediately motivated me to go back to the gym!

I know you can substitute applesauce for oil...not sure about for butter though

I'm over my sugar after my first coffee....i know how you feel =) I swear i only use two teaspoons in my coffee... what gives!

I make sure to log in my food every day! Even if i eat wayyyy too much...like when i drink...whew! Then you really see the difference =)

Whey protein powder Soy protein powder Almond Nut butter Soft tofu Unsweetened yogurt

Tomorrow is a brand new day.

Mid-30's

This!

Well...for one...i have read that drinking chocolate milk POST exercise helps with muscle recovery...so if you want, add a glass of low fat chocolate milk to your diet after a vigorous workout...you'll be fueling your body and eating back some of the calories =)

Consuming white bread on a daily basis also keeps your body addicted to the refined 'empty calorie' carbs...why not switch to a more healthy alternative?

wow congratulations!
