You are welcome to add me. We are not 25 anymore so should not expect things to happen with our bodies like we are.

Not to bee in your business but thats too low calories. And btw 4 lbs in 6 weeks is not bad for our age. I hope you are at least eating back all your excercise calories. Don't be so hard on yourself.

also keep in mind that losing is not linear, its a long process. you will gain and lose daily. that is hormones, electrolyte differences. be patient. rarely does anyone lose exactly what MFP says you will - its a guide only.

you have to eat back your excercise calories. if you are biking that much and not adding those calories to your 1200 you will certainly not lose. you are in too much of a deficit.

I make my own, w/ basil,walnuts,cheese oilice oil and garlic . Then I portion it out in ice cube trays and freeze. I take out just a TB and have with chicken, salmon or bread. Its 75 calories a TB. I could totally eat the whole thing but I eat it frequently enough that I don't feel deprived. Its about portions-don't deny…

I would say yes it works. If you do it consistently. Its worked for me-took a year, logged every day and excercised. Its not MFP that works, its you doing the work that MFP lays out for you. Up to you to do it. But yes, I am proof. I've lost 51 pounds

The apple pecan salad way fresher and healthier and delicious

Thats not nice. Don't worry you won't get one. You would have to work your whole life to build that body. She clearly wanted to. You clearly don't. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I have fibro and I lift. Let me say that I don't know your level of pain, but I hurt anyway. I ache and hurt all the time. Lifting makes me hurt, but in a different, I feel my muscles being used that I havent used for awhile feeling. Thats different than the fibro pain. My philosophy is - i'm going to hurt anyway so why…

The only think I can think of is cereal. Just because I can't be trusted to eat a portion size. I want the whole box.

There are several things it could be, none of which are related to diet and excercise. Fibroids being one. I would see if you can get into another MD but its not an emergency unless you pass huge clots. At this point you are probably also anemic.

lemon zest. Brightens it up and is delicious

You don't say if youve been eating your excercise calories back in order to maintain the 1200 calorie minimum. If you are not then perhaps thats why you are not losing. You are in too much of a deficit and your body will slow your metabolism..

Love it. I eat a TB every day of regular old Jif on whole wheat toast or english muffin. I don't see any issues with it and I've lost weight while doing so. I love it and since eating it every day I don't feel deprived

The 1200 is net. So it sounds like you were eating 1200 and excercising and not eating your excercise calories. So perhaps thats why you didn't lose?

Some of my favorites are Fergie - london bridge Duffy - Mercy Pitbull - Men in black lots of Jlo songs are too.

I have found that statement to be a load of crap - marketing by MFP. Everyone is an individual with their weight loss. I don't lose according to MFP - I lose according to my body and how it functions and what I do. Its a guideline, not the bible

gross to the guys with blisters on hands. Not you

gross

I love their Cherry Berry frozen fruit w/ vanilla yogurt. Delicious!!

What do you suggest to use to disinfect them? Soil is full of bacteria,fungus. 3rd world countries use chlorinie to make drinking water. .

Eat them anyway. You and the rest of us didn't have trouble eating enough calories before which is why we are doing this. So, she is right eat back your excercise calories and don't go below 1200 net. I sometimes have leftover calories at end of day and have to make myself eat them. If you don't you won't lose , plain and…

Do you do sumo squats? Those if done properly are very easy on the knees. I have arthritis and no cartilage in knees and I can do sumo squats no problem. Proper form of course to have your knees follow direction of your toes. Do not go too deep. My son is a personal trainers and worked with me on proper technique and now…

35 calories for 2 TB of croutons

Only your doctor can discuss what is best for you based on your symptoms and health/family history. Not well meaning people on MFP. They can only tell you what worked for them and you are an individual. I myself am peri-menopausal and have lost weight thru diet/excercise - for symptom relief I have started back on bc pills…

Wendys grilled chicken apple pecan salad. Delicious!

So you are saying only thin people get jobs and are able to support themselves? My goodness

Yes, I am down to losing about 1lb a month now. Very slow. But its not a race and I'll get there eventually. Only so much you can controle w/ diet and excercise, the rest is up to this body.

If you leave it , it gets stale and is no good so you have to eat it as to not waste food.
