Thank you for posting this. I actualy have very elevated levels of mercury and have to avoid certain seafood. Thankfully i do not eat much processed stuff but i do have peanut butter and jelly for a treat . This will help me be more diligent in my shopping so thanks again its very very important that i don't add to my…

Maybe you could make yourself a cupcake lol and just eat that add it into your cals for the day...your own mini cake :) that way its not random grabbing bits and peices you will have a measured amount and can make sure its in your cals. Also make sure your really full so you'll be less tempted. Good luck:flowerforyou:

Hi Yes I log before i eat so that I can make an informed decision. I like to sit down in the evenings in front of the TV and plan the next days meals. I log it all the day before and then I just follow the plan. Sometimes I leave extra cals so i can be spontaniouse. I also know that the few days before my period I have…

Oh i wish i had thought of this! I have some spinach that i think is on its last legs lol but there are still quite a few leaves that look good...I had an egg for breakfast too :( darn why couldn't you have posted this when i woke up !:laugh:

Hi I googled "how much saturated fat a day " and some good sites came up. It seems to be based on percentages of how many calories you eat. I think it should not exceed 10% but you should probably do more research on your own. You can also track saturated fats here.

I lost weight on calorie count. I moved and didn't have a computer for a while. When I went to log back in after months I could not log in and it would not send me my password? Maybe they delete after awhile? It also was updated and seemed too confusing to me so I looked around and came here to try and I really like it.…

Looking back ( when i was a healthy weight) I realize that I exercised all the time but it rarely felt like it. All of my hobbies were active. Horseback riding, rock climbing, salsa dancing , hiking and biking with friends. I then discovered running and got addicted but i get bored so easily so I got a rebounder and would…

I use measuring cups and measuring spoons and then I eyeball my meats and fruit and cheese. I thought 2 dice was one oz of cheese? Oh well as long as I'm losing I am fine with it. if I stop losing for a while them maybe I will get a scale. Good luck however you choose to measure.

Try thedailyplate.com I think they have some tgi fridays calories.

Yes. I get that. I am not 100% sure what it is. I never thought it could be hormonal? I am not on any BC. I assumed it was because I was on very strong meds and iron suppl. for years and they really tore my tummy apart. I was looking back over my cals today and there were 2 days I got around 700 I ate a lot more the next…

Congrats!!!! I am so happy for you! Have a great time dancing.

I have a very very sensative tummy. years of iron pills and really stong meications really tore my poor tummy apart and even now that i am off all my meds I still have a sensative tummy :( The best iron that I have found was a liquid supplement from a company called Floradix ( i think, its been a while lol) They also have…

Yes I agree with erin31 . Please dont be so hard on yourself. I feel this way to and I thin its normal. I am hungry eatding up to that time I don't think any of us got fat by eating an extra few hunren calories a few days a month lol. Maybe plan ahead and have some treats planned out since you know its coming... I also…

Someone on here recommended this and i tried it last night its soo amazing and will probably help with TTOM and calories. Add a tablespoon of peanut butter to hot cocoa. Make it with full fat milk and that adds even more. I make mine with real cocoa and vanilla its very rich and satisfying and can help your calories add…

For all the women here who love cowboys check out thepioneerwoman.com and read the true life love story there called Black heels to Tractor wheels..be sure to have some tissues lol...sigh ....:love: Oh and be sure to start from the beginning. She posts a chapter at a time.

Go for it. I make sure I have the cals for those chocolate cravings and i find chocolate milk or hot chocolate much more satisfying then eating chocolate. I dont know why but it takes away the craving instead of adding to it. I homemake mine with real cocoa, stevia and vanilla

can you move dinner later? and/or leave extra calories in your plan so you have an evening snack already counted?

OK drewzaaun!!! I just did this and omg its soooo good!! Your right its like a melted peanut butter cup:tongue: Thank you!!!

At that time of month i dont think any amount of chocolate is too much lol. I ussually make a really rich homeade hot chocolate and by the time Im done sipping on it I am satisfied but If I just have chocolate like kisses and stuff I crave more.

I like eating dinner late. I like it because I can relax and slow down, I don;t have anything to do afterwards except get ready for bed. Plus I cannot sleep if I am even slightly hungry. I eat anywhere from 7 pm - 10 pm depending on hunger and schedule. I usually eat a something between 4:30 and 6:30 also..a small meal. I…

I want a whole new wardrobe...when I put on weight was very ill and I did not think I would ever get better, so I gave all my clothes away :sad: and I loved them. So I keep thinking of brand new stuff ..that cheers me up :happy:

thx for your support! Your doing awsome kep it up and we will all get there:flowerforyou:

i am very glad that some people were helped by this. That was my only reason to post!!! To show that it is completly normal to fluctuate in fact i see 2 and 3 lb differences over night. I see people upset that they gained a lb or 2 even though they are doing everything right and i just wanted to show that it is normal…

i have no problem weighing every day. When I was a healthy weight I weighed a lot and noticed tons of fluctuations then even though I wore the same clothes so i learned that it is normal. i like being in tune with my body and I thought it was neat to recognize the patterns. Seeing the patternes over the long haul make me…

thank you so much :blushing: yes I think a lot of it was from the first week so i expect it to slow down..but I am enjoying it right now lol. I actually have it set for 1.5 lbs a week.

Thank yo so much , I was a little afraid to post this but I really think its important to see how much weight can vary but really your still moving toward your goal. Also if you want to know ( this may be TMI lol) This was the week before my monthly visit Weight 01/04/09 183 Weight 01/05/09 185 Weight 01/06/09 185 Weight…

I see on here all the time about people concerned that they put on a few pounds even though they are doing everything right. So I am posting all my daily weights. I weigh every morning in my pjs with no shoes after I use the restroom and before I eat or drink anything. Here you can see all the crazy fluctuations that your…

Hi I second the cooler idea since thats what i did when i worked out of my car. I had strips of veggies like red peppers and celery and hummus in a little container to dip. Or a pita stuffed with veggies and hummus. I also kept fruit and carrots etc.. I never ate at fast food places if i wanted to eat out I went to a Giant…

avocados are wonderful and you can even add them into fruit smoothies..they are vey mild and the flavor can be hidden with fruit..I was a vegan for years and ate no processed foods and was about 80% raw so I understand the limitations...I also use ground flax seeds and flaxseed oil cold pressed.. are you allowed raw nuts?…

I have used sea salt for years I love the taste and i have had agave nector in tea a few times ..Its great I have a bottle of stevia that is lasting forever so Im going to wait to buy some agave nector for myself.. anything specific you want to know?
