When you started your goals for myfitnesspal they ask you what kind of work you do to set up the calories that you are goin to need for normal daily activities. I am not sure that you should be entering in the calories burned for you job. Someone may have a better explaination then me but thats my opinion.

Welcome to the site, its a great place to come to. Look in the food and nutrition forum there is lots of great recipes people post. Sorry I don't have any of my own I usually get ideas from others.:flowerforyou:

Alright so I did a little extra cardio today and after I logged in everything food and exercise for the day I have 944 calories to still consume. I am not hungry and its late I don't want to eat late and I am not feeling like eating something that would take that many calories. So I know that we are suppose to eat our…

Sounds good thanks for sharing :flowerforyou:

Everyone here has it right, we eat what is right, do our cardio and strength training and its no secret people just want a quick fix or if they try to diet or exercise they do it half heartedly and give up when they see no results. So when they see someone that is doing it they have to make it in their mind that your doing…

I don't have a hard time drinking water but I like the crystal lite rasberry tea it taste sooo good, pretty much any cystal lite will do.

I agree you don't have a better time to start a healthier lifestyle, before you have a disease that will put you on daily medication and constant checking your blood glucose numbers. Save yourself alot of pricks of the fingers start NOW with a healthy diet and exercise program that doesn't mean you have to starve yourself…

For me it wasn't anything that is new but since I have tried to live healthier I have opened up to trying foods that I never ate. I never used to eat alot of veges, but now I eat brussel sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, yogurt and many more. So now I have more options to eat healtier:bigsmile:

Good for you!! :bigsmile:

Good luck to you, you can do it. I am right there with you I used this site then stopped for a time and now I am getting back on track.

AMEN!! Welcome this site is also great help to me. Good luck on your weight loss journey.:flowerforyou:

Are you sure that you are eating enough calories? Are you eating your calories burned? I will admit sometimes I will not eat all my calories burned but you have to add for the extra calories that you worked off. Your body may feel like its not receiveing enough so then its not goin to let go of any fat.

Yeah that one goes for me too,lol. weigh less then the hubby. For me I have looked up the normal body weight for me but I am not normal, I am a tall big gurl and if I got down to the weight that they suggested for me I would look close to that chick from third rock from the sun that got wayyy to thin. I like my curves and…

I totally agree!!! it tastes like you eating a candy bar, but so much better. I love fiber one bars that is my usual snack when I have a sweet tooth. The oats and chocolate and the oats and caramel yummy. I have tried the fiber one pancake mix that is also really good.

It is amazing what you have accomplished thus far 93 pounds is like losing nicole richie,lol. You should be proud of yourself and don't even think to let a chart take you down. Its just a chart made up by a few skinny people. They say that I am obese and frankly I don't feel that I am scratch that I know that I am not…

I know that there are people out there that just suffer with migraines but has your doctor, tried to see why your having the headaches, have you had a CT MRI to check for anything that could be wrong. Last year I had benign brain tumor removed and let me tell you I had the most servere migraines literally putting me in the…

Don't feel bad I pretty much cheated for a month. I have slipped and not counted calories for a month and luckily have not gained because I have been working out alot. But I am the same.. I feel like a failure because I worked hard with my exercise but it was a waste because I have not watch my calories. Don't let yourself…

YEAH, ME TOO, but see the thing is I know with the work outs that I have been doing and the strength training that I have been doin pretty much is a waste because I was not watching my calories. I bet that if I did watch my calories I would have dropped at least ten to fifteen more pounds. So hopefully now that I am trying…

OMG :frown: I looked up my burger that I had yesterday from five guys. I haven't had a burger in a while so my husband wanted to go so I enjoyed a burger. Well I looked it up the burger and the fries that I had ate equaled to be 1000 I thought it would be high but OMG. No more five guys burgers and fries for me.

I have been a member since the beginning of January and from January to mid march I lost 20 pounds and I guess I just let that little bit of weight loss go to my head to think that I was looking better and I stopped logging in my food but I have been working out so since I have stopped loggin in my food I have only lost 2…

Sounds really good thanks for sharing :flowerforyou:

Just wanted to see if I could find some local MFP members to see if I could find a workout partner. I am pretty good about going, but know it would be more motivating to have someone counting on me to be there.

Thank you :flowerforyou:

I have started my journey of a happier and healthier me on Jan 5 and I can not believe that I am already 1/3 the way to my goal..:bigsmile: . I am loving:love: it because I am not doing some crazy *kitten*:noway: diet or starving myself I am eating healthier and watching my portions and exercising at least 3 times a week…

:laugh: :laugh: :happy:

yep I didn't even log in my dinner, and my drinks I got alittle tipsy and some of the drinks that I had is just not so good. But it was fun and I throughly enjoyed it every drink and the lump crab cake and the pototo's and the awesome app, man making myself hungry,lol. No but one day out of the month especially a special…

I guess it was bad weekend overall for most, but we just have to get back on track and keep working for our goals. One step back two steps forward.
