How tall are you? Any particular reason your goal is 1200 calories? Seems low to me for all you're doing. Yes, you're eating the exercise calories -- but it's still netting ~1200 or less (which is concerning0) I'll bet that is below your BMR (which is what you're body needs just to function). Your balance overall looks…

Feel free to look at my diary for ideas. Most days I eat pretty good, but do have the occasional slip-up. Eat whole foods, meats, grains, fruits and veggies. By whole, I mean as least processed as possible. I buy tons of frozen veggies. Be sure to read the label and get ones w/out sauces, which are high in sodium.…

Welcome back! Add me as a friend if you like. My diary is open and most of the time I make good food choices, not always but we all have struggles. As for getting you back on track, start small. Log your food consistently for a few weeks and we and others can advise where tweeks could be made. Get in the habit of logging…

Start now, don't wait until tomorrow. Log your food you ate today. Log the food you'll eat tomorrow and do that for a week or two. Then, look back at what you've eaten and start making changes so you can be healthier. Now get off the computer and go for a walk! :) You don't totally have to give up junk. I type this while…

Here's one I love - makes 5 servings 20 oz ground turkey (Jenny-O makes that size package) 1/2 cup dry oats 1 TBSP olive oil 2 cloves crushed garlic 1/2 cup chopped red peppers 1/2 cup chopped green peppers 1 cup chopped yellow onions 1 cup chopped carrots 1 cup chopped zucchini Seasonings adjust as desired 2 tsp spicy…

I think your pace is closer to 6 mph, than 9+ mph (based on your time/mileage). There's an entry in MFP for 6 mph. Compare it against other results found on internet for your weight and then I'd probably take 10-20% off if you are always running and used to it. When your bod gets more efficient at doing something, you'll…

You haven't undid your successes. The very first thing I'd suggest to do (before going to bed if you can) is to Log. No quick add, that's skimping out and not being accountable. Log what you ate and hopefully learn from it and when you feel another bad day coming on you an always look back on it. For me, just seeing quick…

Three hings i like are stuffed peppers, and chop up peppers and onions and eat w/ sausage. Chop up peppers and other veggies and make an omelette. Oh and a veggie frittata.

Change your mindset. You didn't get overweight by eating a normal healthy diet. You ate too many calories (whatever those calories were comprised of) and/or exercised too little. Don't think of it as a 'diet'. Think of it as changing your way of eating -- for life. Eat the way a person your goal weight would eat to…

Every body is different but I'll tell you I'm 5'4, currently 175 and eating about 1600 calories (before exercise) and consistently losing 0.5 - 1+ lb/week. I don't always eat all my exercise calories back. Think you need to eat more I also think your weight went up because your muscles are retaining water, and trying to…

I'll agree with the others here, sounds too much to lose for your height. What is your current body fat percentage? If you're quite muscular your lean body mass is probably at least 100 and getting to 110 would give you 10% body fat, which is the low end of essential body fat needed for women and could lead to health…

You're being a great role model for your kid! I wish you the best in your next 76 lb loss. You can do it!

Def. an acquired taste. I love the extra thickness of it, compared to regular and can't really eat regular anymore without thinking of it like melted ice cream. Love Chobani plain because its less sugar, and usually add Kashi go lean and blueberries to give it flavor. After eating it one or two times I don't notice what I…

Hell w/ double. Go triple! They make triple stuffed oreo's now. Cream all the way.

Eat normal. Assuming your normal calorie goal is 1500, you only ate 900 above it (taking out the exercise). That's 1/4 lb less you'll lose. No biggie!

Log the turkey as 5-6 ozs or whatever you think it was. Log the cranberry (find equivalent from a can in the database), an egg roll (200+ calories easy) and in your head account for the high sodium and balance it out w/ the future eating.

Short term I'd guess over the top sodium levels in the soda, your most recent dinner, breads and breakfast meal replacement bars. Add that column to your view and see what the numbers look like. Edit: Did a google search for your breakfast shake (http://www.tesco.com/groceries/Product/Details/?id=268594231) It has sodium…

Walking is low-impact. One foot always on the ground. running is high impact. one foot usually off the ground. That means its harder on your muscles, and give ya the extra soreness. Walking at 4 - 4.5 mph is awesome! Treadmill running/walking is easier than outdoors because the belt is doing some of the work for you. Get…

Yes - don't eat exercise if you've figured it in the TDEE. You should strive to be as close possible to the 1640. So you're TDEE was 2050 with exercise figured in? That seems sort of low to me. How much exercise did you average in?
-
as someone else wrote I'd suggest slowing down so you don't have to hold on. You're in a better posture position (important!!) and working your body better because you're not leaning back at the angle hanging on for dear life. Your arms must feel good afterwards though :) I can walk 3.3 - 3.4 mph at the moment at the 10-12…

Moving Comfort, available at some sports shops and Amazon.com. LOVE them!

I'd say 2 lbs/week too agressive. Shoot for 1 - 1.5 lb/week loss and eat 1500-1600 and most if not all your exercise calories (assuming you track them accurately aka heart monitor) PS: Popular thought is to eat the calories you'll be eating at your goal weight -- and 1200 is not that.

Not sure there's an easy way to track, other than manual but my nutritionist wants me to limit the added sugars to 40g/day. Since MFP only tracks total sugars, I manually figure it out by looking at the individual entries. Not too hard since you can look at your diary as a whole on the website, and then just crunch the…

Nanny on my dad's side, and Oma on my mom's side (German). My great-grandparents died before I was born, so don't have a name for them. My niece/nephew call their grandparents Oma (my mom) and Nana (sil's mom)

When I calculated my TDEE, I did not specifically include exercise in that calculation (sedentary/lightly active) and as such, I still eat most if not all my exercise calories. I only exercise 3-4 days/week. For many people, the -20% is about 500 calories I would estimate, which is the 1 lb/week average. So in short, eat…

I don't know what's in Diet Coke, but Mio doesn't sound any better. Water, Malic Acid, Propylene Glycol, Citric Acid, Contains Less than 2% of Natural Flavor, Sucralose and Acesulfame Potassium (Sweeteners), Potassium Citrate, Red 40, Potassium Sorbate (Preservative).

You rock at failing and look great doing it! Success!
