I too eat the 100 calorie almonds as snacks. I haven't logged in a couple days because I'm just so confused and frustrated. I'm kind of wondering if my 1200 calorie diet is actually too low for my activity level. I work out 3-6 times a week. When I was on the 1600 calorie diet and exercising like this I lost 20lbs. Once I…

I just want to thank everyone for the comments. I am trying to look more into my diet and how I should go about changing it up. I have also bookmarked many websites that you all have posted and I will start doing more research. Thanks again to ALL!

Yes I do weight my foods using measuring cups, spoon measure, and scales. I drink water all day also. I do have coffee in the am but other than that it's strickly water.

I hope I posted this in the right forum. Sorry if I didn't.

One thing that trainers tell me is to focus on short term goals like 2lbs a week instead of a long term goal. Its very hard to stay focused when your goal seems so far away. But if you concentrate on weekly goals then you will have a sense of achievement every week. It will also make time fly by because you will be happier…

I think it mostly refers to the amount of exercise you do each week. If you do none then it is sedentary. If its 1-2 days of working out then its light. 2-3 days is moderate and 3 or more is aggressive. Thats what I have found at least while searching on the web.

Drinking water help wash the toxin out of your body and keep you hydrated. Your body is made up of mostly water therefore when you don't drink water you cannot replenish the water that you are losing urinating, sweating, and so forth. You also need water to replenish nutrients, regulate body temperature, and protect your…
