I log my weight once a week. It gives me a "routine" and I know not to eat salty food on thursdays so friday i can weigh a pretty number. I check my weight every morning, because I have fun watching the number fluctuate throughout the week. :) The number on the scale keeps me focused, but I am doing this more to be healthy…

I go to decaf coffee or tea after my "last allowed snack". Resorting to drinks, even water or crystal light is also a good way to hydrate yourself. :) Best of luck.

these are what I have found work for myself. 1. Don't save calories for the evening. You're not exerting yourself, so they won't burn off. Eat evenly throughout the day. 2. when you work out: carb before (apple) protein after (chicken) 3. don't eat complex carbs starting at dinner for the rest of the night. 4. Eat AT LEAST…

You can eat them back. Your new total recalculates with the exercise calories included for your daily allotment. You lose quicker if you don't eat it back, but I eat back some of them. :) I hope this wasn't confusing.

Agree with eating at least 1200 calories a day. And agree with the fact that your body is taking in the food because you could be adjusting from starvation mode. If you are uncomfortable eating 1200 calories, try. But filling it with lots of fruits, vegtables, and healthy fats (nuts, olive oil) might help you out. Eat…

Yea, I'm with the comment above. its water retention. Sometimes, when I eat things that are atypical from my regular routine, like a burger, fried shrimp, real ice cream, etc. like once a week, I will drop quicker because (i think) it shocks my system. Or this was what I was told. But when I have eaten extremely salty…

When I used to see a personal trainer, he has me doing toning with baby spurts of cardio in between, because he said it was good to "shock your system" with intense exercise. By the book, its said that shorter exercise of greater intensity are ideal, but I personally believe do whatever makes you comfortable! I do an hour…

Maybe you could eat at work? I bring my lunch with me everyday. So, you could grab a piece of fruit before you leave and then bring like cherrios, yogurt, and/or whole wheat bagel with jelly with you? I'm sure its easier said than done, but that could be an option. best of luck!

I have some of my close friends on here, and we are all super honest about what we eat. The other day, I had a 1200 calorie meal and recorded every last detail. Even though I planned that out, its nice having the support and encouragement of a network of people. And I agree! That "this is what you would weigh in 5 weeks"…

I really enjoy those new delights frozen sandwiches by jimmy dean. I'm sure they are not "the best" but they have egg whites, and while wheat english muffins. I also like lox on bagel thins with lf cream cheese and whatever toppings you want (veggie wise).

No, I am not eating back my calories. I eat my initial 1260 that it tells me to eat. That's good to know that initially people hold onto water weight. I've been working out everyday for a month, but just started eating my 1260 calories this past week.
