Dang! I def need to pick some up too. How much green tea should you drink a day! :flowerforyou:

Well the best thing you can do to determine how many calories you need is to logg in your food and excersize and it will tell you how many more to eat. 1200 is not a lot especially if your excersizing. If your not eating your excersize calories or at LEAST half of them I can guarentee the scale wont be your friend. I agree…

Well wait, who said that they only eat 1200 calories on the biggest loser? I've never heard them say that in the show, in fact I think bob was telling them that they needed to eat MORE becuase if he didn't it would put him into starvation mode. Maybe I got it all wrong IDK. :huh:

I in the past would lose maybe 5 or 10 lbs and then gain it all back and then some. My weight on my ticker is the weight I've lost since I joined MFP since Jan 1st.

I missed out on the vday chalange, but I'll put in 12 lbs for this challange! Are we starting now or on the 16th?

I always save my extra calories for dessert like edey bryers fat free ice cream, or even a low fat smoothie. Yummy!

Aww thanks for putting it in perspective like that i was thinking way worse than that. Todays another day and I'm back on the wagon!

Yeah I will definately not be having boneless buffalo wings for a long time to come UNLESS I make them myself from now on. I wish that they would put how many calories and fat calories were on it right on the menu ugh oh well its my fault tomorrow is another day.

I know I went for the bad stuff but I seriously did not think it was that bad I was shocked when I seen how much it all added up too. Tomorrow its back to water and excersize! But I will definately use this as motivation next time I get a craving. :grumble:

I am sooooooooo ticked off! I went to appelbees and ordered the pick 3 appitizers and of course ate them all inbetween lunch and supper thinking it wouldn't be too bad. Tell me again NEVER eat the boneless buffalo wings OMG :noway: :noway: :noway: I know i binged today but HOLY crap there goes my whole MONTH of eating…

Thank you! My daughters first birthday party is coming up. How on earth am I going to say no to that cake!

Since when were you on a diet? This isn't a diet its a lifestyle change its about everything in moderation. Thats why your suceeding and she's failing oh well just laugh as her booty keeps getting bigger and bigger as yours keeps shrinking! :devil:

I'd aim for a minumum of 1400 calories at LEAST w/ you working out that much if not 1600 calories. You'll notice a huge shift in the scale if you do!

That explains why it stunk when I logged on to MFP. :laugh: :happy: I love the fiber one bars but I haven't had that problem from them personally LOL. At least not that I know of. :noway:

Your doing so great!

Aww thank you all! I would be honestly so lost without this website! I am proud of myself but not for losing the 12 lbs, for staying dilligent with this. Everytime I've stopped losing weight before I'd give up and go for the icky treats, sure I've had a few icky treats here and there but I get right back on the wagon. I…

I have not been doing good with water in take at all, all that i was able to get in theese last three days is 32 ounces of water. The rest was diet soda ugh!

I agree w/ the other ladies don't worry too much about trying to decipher the calories, just have what you what (in moderation) and excersize and continue the rest of your day like normal. One day isn't going to throw things off for you. Its your birthday enjoy it. HAPPY BIRTHDAY:flowerforyou:

You really need to eat all the excersize calories and drink all your water for the day or the weightloss will slow down. What generally happens from what I've seen and myself is the weight will come off fast the first two weeks then slow way down until you start getting in that water and eating those calories. You want to…

can anyone explain a heart rate monitor to me i have never heard of one that you can wear before. does it tell you how many calories you burn right on the monitor or do you have to calculate it out according to your heart rate, where can you buy one at

I motivate myself by having something that I wouldn't normally have if I didn't work out. Either a diet soda or bowl of ice cream. I know I shouldn't use food but the only way I get the treats is if I work for it.

I'm doing the 30 day shred. How many calories do i burn doing the level 1 excersize? I can't figure it out! Thanks!

I'll do this too! Today I did 25 minnutes of Jillians 30 day shred! Not near as much as I'd want to do but w/ a screaming baby hard to get anything done. I did rock and dance holding my daughter for 20 minnutes though thats gonna burn some calories she's 20lbs! :o

I am so proud of myself in the last month I've lost 12 pounds! I know its not a crazy amount of weight but its a start and defiantely better than gaining!

I too reported the post. It gets tiring to see those posts but what i'm even more concerned about is the new people who aren't well informed. Maybe someone would e-mail and buy them. Its crazy. The only way to weight loss is diet and excersize. I wont even take alli and that is FDA approved. All theese pills scare me!

I did super bad today too. I started off on the right foot this morning but thats all I can say about that. I snacked on 3 pudding cups at 110 calories a piece! Had 1.5 cookies from subway 220 calories a piece. wheat thins and cheese and 100 calorie bag of popcorn plus my regular meals ugh tomorrow is another day and I am…

Thank you!! Thats what I thought is that they were both the same. I'll try to stay clear from both of them, maybe once a week or something and just TRY to stick to real water.

I was wondering which one is better for you or if they're both rated the same. My Mother in law and I always argue about this so i wanted to get your opinions. she says that crystal light is better for you and isn't as bad as diet pop and I say its the same. Also do both count for your water intake or neither?

For the lower sodium dressings how much should I try to keep it under for 2 TBS. I'm pretty good about only using only 2 TBS but I can also cut it down to one, the dressing I'm using now has 250 sodium in it. Thanks so much!
