well I gotta fix the 2nd one...oops...in the short term just click on my profile pic. *Fixed*

I always eat mine back and I lose the weight I specified every week. if you specify a 1 pound weight loss a week and you eat back your exercise calories, you are still hitting the 500 calorie deficit for the week and you will still lose weight. Society has conditioned everyone that you must stop eating to lose weight.…

wtg you have done the hardest part already...you've got this!

Spiders Clowns and Awkward hugs that linger a little too long.

Tell him nicely to either join in and show you how its done....or go in the other room til you are finished :)

2 tablespoons of Jif Peanut Butter clocks in at 190 cals...quick and easy. Throw it on some whole wheat bread and you got a 290 cal snack. 24 almonds are about 160 cals...another quick and easy boost.

What got me to start taking it seriously was looking at how much I had gained over a 2 yr period and imaging the weight I would be at 5 yrs from now if I kept it up at that pace...it wasn't pretty. Feel free to add me as a friend if ya need support or motivation.

If you eat too few calories your body will start turning everything you eat to fat...and eat your muscle to stay alive. you can grab a extra 200 calories just eating a 2 TBSP of peanut butter...an ounce of Almonds will give ya 160 calories. there are lots of small intake items that will jack up your calorie count.

makes ya realize what a stress you put on your knees with all the extra weight.

screwed that one up...back to the drawing board

Please share your diary so we can see what you are eating and we can make suggestions based from that.

are you comparing your weight when you woke up to your weight at the end of the day? to gain 1.6 pounds in a day you would need a massive amount of food.

http://www.target.com/Taylor-Kitchen-Scale-White-lb/dp/B000BH3PE0/ref=sc_qi_detailbutton got this one at target the other day and it is awesome. you can turn it on then set your plate on it, then hit the on button again and it will reset to zero then you place your food on the plate and it will only count the food and not…

Sadly culture today tends to steer people toward being overweight in the 1st place so, naturally people assume if you aren't over eating like they are something must be wrong with you.

also gonna recommend exercise that incorporates lunges and squats. I am having alot of success with the 30 day shred from Jillian Michaels myself. my gf was just commenting the other night that my legs were changing and getting more firm /meow :P

keep in mind when you set up your MFP settings and select how much you want to lose...1 lb a week 2 lbs a week ect...it automatically sets up a caloric deficit for you. So just try to stay around what MFP says you are allowed Calorie wise and you are good to go. selecting a 1 lb a week loss will automatically set a 500…

This topic is now about kittens.....go aren't kittens cute? I like kittens.

go by the calories MFP gives you and not what others have listed...you can lower it yourself and that is why you see such low numbers. 1200 is thought to be a bare minimum so people choose 1200 so they can achieve maximum loss...then they find they are starving and leave MFP because it isnt working. when you were given a…

Just stick with it and you will see a difference, there are so many helpful people here, if you have a question don't hesitate to ask.

There will always be people that will tell you the sky is purple when you tell them it is blue, its just human nature. If I see a post I don't agree with I honestly just move on to one that I do instead of turning it into an argument. Some people don't understand science and chemistry and will fight against anything they…

If you have $10 to blow you might look at the 30 day shred from Jillian Michaels. There are 3 levels and you do the 1st one til you can knock it out without feeling like you are gonna die then move up. the workouts are only 20 minutes but there are no breaks so you get a good workout in a short amount of time. Alot of…

Seeing a picture of myself at the beach, you know the ones where you aren't trying to suck in your gut cause you don't realize there is a picture being taken :P I saw it and I looked like I was about to deliver twins.....

Jello fat free pudding cups 60 cals and no fat they have Dark chocolate, Double Chocolate, ect and they taste just like the regular ones. I use them for my chocolate fix all the time.

This to me is just another example of someone being threatened by something they don't understand or outright jealousy. Supplements in no way mean you are weak and when used they way they are intended are a good addition to any workout schedule. Keep your head up and let your actions speak volumes.

We have been conditioned to believe that less food=weight loss....your body needs food to keep you going and if you don't feed it, it will find a way to feed itself. If you don't get at least 1200 calories a day, your body will think you are lost in the wilderness without food and begin converting everything to fat so you…

Welcome Kelley, Friend me as well if you like. Very helpful people around to motivate and get ya through the tough spots.

Congrats on ONEderland....14 pounds to go and I am there as well

If you don't get at least 1200 cals in a day your body will go into starvation mode and you will actually convert everything into fat.
