  • In theory it fits your macros but there is the original "flexible eating" view of macros and the new "IIFYM" view. The latter often a less healthful view. IIFYM means you can live off junk and still cut/gain depending on your goals. However you end up missing out on the nutrition dense foods for micro-nutrients. Therefore,…

  • First I'd suggested that you really look at your friends. If they are good friends and dont hold you back in all other aspects in your life, just ignore them in regards to your new lifestyle changes. If they are always dragging you down, you need new friends. If you are looking for support, you'll have to add to your…

  • It depends on you. If weighing daily is stressing you out or causing you to lose motivation you shouldn't. I weigh daily because it helps me make adjustments as I go. If i ate clean and drank my water but my weight went up, I'll drink some lemon juice to flush the water gain. I dont care what I weigh in the end. Its inches…
    in is weighing myself every morning bad Comment by kira80 October 2011
  • Yes it does. When we planned on having our baby , which was 8 years into our marriage and took 7 months to conceive, I was working full-time for a very large insurance company. Our plan was to put him into a learning center vs daycare while we work during the day. That company fired me two weeks before my maternity leave…

  • Also, I am up at 5am every morning now. I wasn't a morning person, but give it time it grows on you once you realize you can get so much more done like exercising and getting "me" time for yourself.

  • Im a first time still fairly new at it. My son is 8 months old. I had lost 50lbs before we decided to conceive. I did maintain my weight during pregnancy and even ended up losing a little was he was born. I have lost 30 more pounds in the last three months. Sadly, I still have 80 more to lose. I'll take all the extra WL…

    in Who wants to loose 100 lbs with me? Comment by kira80 October 2011
  • It sounds like you'd be losing double the weight if you didn't eat your exercise calories.I'm sure I have more to lose, but I lose 2-3lbs every week. I try to stay around my 1200 a day calories and I don't eat what I burn off during exercise. I keep my carbs at about 120g per day. I dont eat more than two starches a day. I…
    in eating your exercise calories back Comment by kira80 October 2011
  • HI and Welcome! I'm fairly new to this site as well. I mostly use it for the iphone app. I always said losing weight would be easy if I found a better way to track what I eat. I don't think it gets any more simple than taking a picture of a bar code. That took away 2/3 of the tracking stress. I actually use sparkpeople for…
