I get a stomach ache with whey protein which alot of them are

I eat it all the time in salads. Just portion in out.

You were me last year. I did 1200 calories, plus ate most all my excercise calories back. That worked for a long time - slowly....... Be patient Not everyone loses at the same rate. Dont compare yourself to anyone else on MFP or anybody that you talk to. You are unique, not a stat. It will happen. Dont give up!! I am proof…

Yes you need to be realistic. But it is worth being healthy and fit. I did it. No, I do not like the extra skin and wrinkles, but I'm getting older and I would have had loose skin and wrinkles on a chubby/unhealthy body instead of a slimmer more fit body. Its never too late to feel and look better. Focus more on health…

Perhaps choose a different salad. Panera has several that are 400 and under. And they are good.

its identical - it just has molasses added for flavor/color

I take a Tootsie Roll pop - takes awhile to eat, feels like a treat and is 60 calories

That is bad advise and not very supportive.

I simply use MFP - cardio section there is a strength training , weight lifting - I just put in the time

I eat peanut butter on whole grain toast every morning. sometimes top it with a banana

Older. More wrinkles on face and my eyelids now sag.

If you are a woman I can 100% tell you its probably hormones. My weight goes up the week of ovulation and the week of period. and yes 8 lbs in 3 weeks is more than you should lose anyway. Your body is just trying to adjust by holding onto water. Our bodies tend to panic sometimes when it perceives a loss. Dont worry about…

People who have gotten overweight shouldnt have 'trouble' eating 1200 calories. And no its not ok. its counterproductive. You cant tell me that you physically cannot put an extra 200-300 calories in to make your goal. that is psychological

If 5 mini meals make you fat, then how did I lose 53 lbs doing just that.

Good for you. However, nurses are actual human beings, that means we have flaws like all the other population. We have tremendous stress and while some of us chose to deal with it in a healthy way, some of us chose to squelch the stress in unhealthy ways. Just like everyone else. Doesnt mean we dont know better. The…

I also reached my goal and then some. Now trying to loosen the reigns a little. Its mentally difficult and its very slow for me to add calories. Im super paranoid to deviate from what was successful. I have added my maintenance calories as my daily goal but mentally have trouble getting up there. I'm working on it.

1200 calories is already your deficit, so yes you need to net at least that amount. 700 net is unhealthy!!

Where do you find them? I cant find them anywhere around my town

I think the robbery is that you probably paid about $10 for that.

Its what your body has adjusted to. Just like it adjusted to eating large amounts of high fat/ crappy food. I ate 1200 for over a year and yes, it is physically and psychologically difficult some days. My stomach rebels to increase in the amount or frequency of eating. A gradual increase does work as long as the increase…

Wendys Apple Pecan chicken salad is delicious and the 1/2 size is plenty and I think only 340 calories

You can add me if you like. I have reached goal, and am working on maintenance. Always need encouragement and support, no matter what phase you are in.

If you have a Trader Joes - the unsweetened vanilla is delicious. It smooth and not grainy like some of the others

Eat peanut butter!!! Just don't eat too much. I eat it every day for breakfast and sometimes in evening for snack. However I eat only 1 TB - enough for a whole grain english muffin or just a scoop to eat. Nothing wrong with it!

you don't say if you are eating your excercise calories back - 1200 if the minimum net you should be eating so therefore you need to eat what you excercise to at least maintain the 1200 - if you don't you are below the 1200 and will therefore stop losing because it is not enough!!!.

I have had and made Polenta Lasagna. Just brown the polenta in a little olive oil and then layer roasted vegetables such as eggplant, zucchini and roasted red peppers. Marinara sauce and mozzarella or provolone cheese. Delicious!!!
