You are already saying it perfectly. Maybe you need to find more non-drinking friends or those who won't push so much. Good for you for holding off the peer pressure, it can be really hard.

Have you taken any measurements? 20 lbs is a decent amt of weight, and when you're losing all over it may not be so noticable. Slimmer looking neck, a little less on the arms, legs, belly. All of it adds up. If you haven't done so already, take measurements all over and do so every month or two. You will notice an…

spinach lasagna with a side salad turkey meatloaf w/ cold veggies or whatever side you like. This is already LOADED w/ veggies. Forgot I had added the recipes here: Turkey meatloaf: Prestage Foods - Ground Turkey 93/7, 20 oz (1 1/4 lbs) Vodka Gimlet - Old Fashioned Oatmeal, 1/2 cup dry Garlic - Raw, 2 clove Peppers -…

Are u home yet? -- to parents leaving after Xmas and driving in potential storm

5'4, currently 187 with goal of 150. Will revisit new goal once I reach that. According to my nutrionist my body fat is 40% and she wants me to get that to 20% (altho that seems a little low to me)

Sounds like you are doing every thing right. Are you throwing away food because it went bad? $140/week seems high for 3 people if you are making meals, freezing, doing your own recipes and not letting it go to waste. I'd suggest hanging on to the receipts and looking at what food you're buying in more detail to see what is…

You'll never stop craving then. Cut out the soda. Use it as a treat like once/week or less. 300-500 calories is alot for sweets in a single day if you're eating 1300 calories (1/3 of your diet is sweets). Swap out sweets for veggies, and you can eat a TON more and fill up on healthy food.

In the simplest terms, your body functions. 1. It loses and stores glycogen (carbs and sugars and its the primary source of energy for your body) 2. You gain and lose water, and if you're a bigger size that can be ALOT (even 7 lbs worth). Sodium (aka fast food) can make you retain water. 3. Your menstral cycle and hormones…

I would subtract them yes, because it is likely that the formula the machine uses based on your heart rate doesn;t account for normal metabolic output.

What I'd suggest is to keep reminding yourself how bad you want it. You want this, right? You want it more than a beer, a chocolate bar, a piece of pie (whatever your downfall has been that caused you to gain weight). That means you may need to sacrifice some things, and only go out once a week, rather than 3 times/week,…

I double the suggestion for Moving Comfort (free shipping on Amazon!) and likely sold in sports speciality shops

Looking at your diary, I'd suggest more fruits and veggies to start. Those will fill you up so you don't need to go to 3,000 calories of unhealthy/salty foods.

Btw, thank you for serving! You're doing a country a great service.

Can you make your diary public, so we can perhaps offer suggestions on your food intake?

Google 1 cup coffee maker and you'll find links to internet sites, ones at JC Penney, Bed Bath and Beyond and others. Why does no one clean the microwave?

Quit about 3 1/2 yrs ago. Was trying to quit for 5+ years before then. What worked for me. Cut out first of the morning smoke for a week or two, then cut out after breakfast smoke, then before work smoke, then mid-morning, etc. etc. Kept cutting till I was only smoking at night. Tried Chantix two times. First time the…

One thought for 'exercise' that you don't even need to think about. Put a bounce in your step when you're walking around the hospital. If no one's looking, do a a couple of lunges/jumping jacks/push ups against the wall. You don't need fancy equipment to get a workout. Dance around, wave your hands above your head, etc.…

I suggest eating normally, or dropping perhaps 100 calories a day. Have some veggies before you go to the party and perhaps you won't indulge so much. But it's the holiday season so indulge but within reason. You aren't on a diet, you're changing your lifestyle right? So it might take a few days more with the extra…

Yep and depending how much you drink of CL, I would also suggest logging it (a mere 5 calories, but over a year w/ many drinks = alot of calories).

Ham is inherently high in sodium. Try switching to low sodium turkey ham if you have to have ham. Chicken, Fish would be other choices for meat. Mashed potatoes shouldn't be high in salt, unless you are adding it. Daily sodium intake is about the equivalent (I think?) of ONE TEASPOON. Not too much, huh? Processed foods…

$45/day is alot! Grilled chicken, fresh veggies, stop at convenience store and get fruits and veggie snack packs. Or take a cab to grocery store and get some snack packs. Take a soft cooler bag that can fold up easy, fill it w/ ice at hotel and use that for small cold storage. Protein bars. Bagels/English muffin, peanut…

My first day back to work after a medical leave, I pre-logged. I was so worried about going back to bad habits and eating junk all day I used that to help me stay on track. If the next day(s) look like hell I'd probably pre-log then too.

A few suggestions to start: 1. Swap out the steamers for healthier ones. Go for ones that are much lower in sodium (skip the cheese steamers) 2. Instead of buying/cooking the pre-packaged meals (WAY high ins odium) make your own. Buy whole wheat pasta, buy fresh chicken, use your own spices (again limiting the salt) and…

Can you make your diary public?

Not a parent, so can only offer what I've read online. You need to retrain the family. "Only eat starches, fried foods, won't eat veggies". If they want to eat at your table, they'll eat what you cook them. PERIOD. Sounds like the entire family needs to be eating better. Hide the frier for a week. Have a sit down family…

Been over 6 weeks since I did any walking more than a mile. Feels sooo good to be back! :-) Sunday - 6.7 miles walked

I'd suggest you track. Yea it looks bad but then you'll know what you did and how much work (if any!) you need to do to make up for it. Let's say you document 3/4 of what you ate/drank today and it turns out to be 3,000 calories. Assuming you're normal goal is 1,500 - that's 1/2 lb extra you ate, or 2 extra days of eating…

I'm going to sum up my week early. Sunday - 2.5 miles Monday-Friday sick = 0 Saturday - probably 3 miles , walking downtown then shopping so Total = 5.5

I like this one. http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/ As Rae said, BMR is your not doing a damn thing / laying in bed all day - this is what your body needs to survive calories. You need to know your TDEE, which is your daily expenditure - because as a living person I assume you actually MOVE throughout the day :)…
