Ya I saw the christmas pic I took with my family and really saw how much I have gained! I was so depressed cuz everyone in the family has that pic and I cant change it! I am now! I really didnt think I looked that bad till that pic. I have since lost some and feel so much better.

I figure if I eat it I then need to go outside and walk with my kids or work in the yard or clean the house to burn extra calories. If I keep moving I keep burning. Then try and eat right the rest of the day.

I like eating either: 1 egg fried with no cal butter spray 70 cal 1TBS of Fat free Mayo 10cal 2 slices of Natures Own Double Fiber bread 100 cal TOTAL: 180cal or 2 slices of Natures Own Double Fiber bread 100 Cal 4 slices of turkey bacon 100 cal/ 25 cal a slice few peices of lettuce about 5cal 1TBS of Fat Free Mayo 10 cal…

I was gym obsessed there for the last month and a half and thats where I gained all my weight back. Hmmm Everything in moderation. I still walk/run a few days a week but nothing as strenuous as what I was doing at the gym. When I lose the weight then I will start the weight training again to get it all toned up.

Im still working out and the funny thing is the personal trainier at Golds gym told me that fat weighs the same a muscle. 1lb of fat is still 1lb of muscle and so I told her that fat takes up more space and she said no so she had me confused. I am still working out but I am doing moderate walking running and stretching. I…

I know this sounds odd but I posted before about how i started the gym and gained 5lbs. Well i havent been to the gym for 2 weeks and do Light to Moderate excersise at home along with cleaning and chasing kids and still stuck to the same cal count as before and lost 8lbs. So I lost the 5 I gained from the gym which i did…

Its happening to me know. Ive been excersising like crazy im talken like a 1000 calories a day and watching what I eat and am way below my excesise calories and always full but I can t seem to lose. I even measured myself and still no movement but my clothes fit loser??? hmmm not sure what im doing wrong. I posted this…

Thanks for the post. Puts alot of things in perspective.

My baby is a little older he is 19mo old but I still need to lose 20lbs of my baby weight. I gained almost 60lbs while pregnant so i think Im doing alright. Good luck! It took me awhile for the weight to finally start comming off.

Yes I have an 19mo baby and last year (he was 9mo old) I worked out for 2hrs and ate right and everything and didnt lose an inch or a pound. I asked my doctor about it and he told me that some women when they have babies their body remains in baby mode for awhile so they retain the fat and calories as if you are still…

Thanks Miso. I never thought about the water retention. I try not to cut my calories below 1200. With my excersise I usually have about 1000 excersise calories a day. I cannot eat 2200 calories in one day anymore so I try to make sure I get at least 1500 now. My scale actually started going the right direction today. So I…

I make sweet tea and sweeten it with Spenda. O calories and gives you all the tasty water you need!

Thats just wrong!!!:laugh:

Im glad to see some one else experiencing the same thing! Yay its not just me. Im trying to go by how i look but for me even that can be misleading. I have a bad case of "I always look fat no matter what" sindrome. Gotta get over that too. Good luck to you too.

Thanks. Im trying not to get discouraged. Im also tyring to eat just so that Im not hungry all day but not eat a huge amount just to satisfy the calories.

Ok well I measured myself and still I measure the same. I did try on some clothes and they seem to fit alot better so I guess there is some progress. But Im still not losing. I guess Im gonna have to excersise and eat alot less then what MFP is telling me to do.

Well the scale went back down today but yes I need to step away from it. :angry: It has done nothing but make me depressed. :sad: Im going to go measure myself and see what has changed and I did do what you said and tried on a pair of jeans with a fitted top and I look pretty good. Thank you all!:smooched: :heart:…

Hmm I didnt think about cutting my excersise calories. I was assuming by everything I read here I had to eat them. I tend to not eat them all anyways but I will try and keep better track. Im getting there....

Thank you. Makes me feel alot better knowing someone else experienced the same thing.:tongue: I truly thought I was doing something wrong!:frown: Ill keep you posted!:wink:

I havent measured myself in a while so I will try that. My clothes do fits loser so I guess I am getting somewhere. Its just when you see the scale go back up you get very discouraged:sad: thanks everyone. I have also been drinking the Green Tea because I say someone post that it was helping them lose also. fo me it just…

Hello everyone. I have a few questions that I am at a loss about. I started this MFP at 170lbs. In 5 weeks I lost 10lbs. I was doing so good, i was doing a little excersize at home and walking and eating right. 2 weeks ago i joined Golds gym and started taking a power class 2 days a week, a ride class (bikes) 2 days a week…

I found Suger free instant oatmeal at walmart. Great Value Sugar Free Apples Cinnimon. Its pretty good just add a little spenda if its not sweet enough or fruit. Its only 110 cal and no sugar.

Dont worry I fell off the wagon today also. We went to Logans steakhouse and yes i had the steak, salad w ranch and seasoned veggies. :noway: Oh and I had a dinner roll also. Luckly I worked out alot today go it helped but Im gonna be back on tomarrow. :ohwell: But it was all soooo good! This is my first cheat day in 3…

Im not to good at cooking the oldfashion kind. How do you do it?

You are silly!! Nothing wrong with a litle chocolate!!! :smokin:

I eat the instant, Apples and Cinnimon. Its good but yes It puts me close onmy sugars. Im supposed to stay under 24g and that is very hard to do! Ive gone over most days. Thanks for letting me know that there is a low sugar out there! I have got to find it! :tongue: I ate the Kashi Go Lean cereal this morning and didnt…

Thats true. I only had one and tomorrow Im back on the wagon to make up for it. Im so glad I have all of you to make me feel better.

Ya thats what i\I was thinking and then I said "what could it hurt"....:ohwell: Ya one slice of the apple pizza is almost 300 calories....but it was sooooo good and so was the pizza:smokin:

I cant believe I did that. I need to really get on the ball and excersize my butt off!:angry:

We went to Stevi Bs for dinner and I tried to be good. I Ate 3 small slices of their veggie pizza and a little salad with ranch and one piece of the dessert and then I came home and calculated it all up and I am so over my calories. I thought I was doing good. Now I could be wrong because I couldnt find any nutrition stuff…
