Still looking for answers

I am looking for people following the Low Carb, LCHF, Paleo, Vegetarian, or Pescatarian lifestyles. If you are one of them, please add me.

You can add me as a friend.

Low carb works for me. It's a lifestyle change for my medical situation. I average about 15% carbs a day. Before this, I was taking in about 50% carbs a day with exercise and calorie counting and losing as well. Different things for different situations.

Congratuations on meeting both the educational goal and the healthier YOU goal.

Goal: Burn 3500 calories in a week Monday: Did absolutely nothing! Tuesday: 1421 calories burnt (elliptical, treadmill, bike, strength) Wednesday: 1286 calories burnt (elliptical, treadmill, Walmart, cleaning) Thursday: Let us pray Friday: Pray harder Saturday: Help us Lord! Remaining for week: 793

Goal: Burn 3500 calories in a week Today: 1421 calories burnt Remaining for week: 2079

I was just looking for a challenge like this. I am in.

All depends on the weight of the person.

I always weight after it's cooked. I dont care what the BEFORE is..its the AFTER that I am putting in me.

So awesome! I want to have this testimony soon!

I'm concerned the elliptical wont help with my stomach. How is that working for you or was it even a concern?

I just asked myself the same thing. I am sooo fully but I need to hit 1200.

Great job!

Congratulations on your goals. You are an inspiration. I am trying to get there. BTW, you were beautiful at 178 :) Be blessed.

When you CHECK IN, it shows what you should measure. Here is another set of guidelines: http://www.weight-loss-program.com/art13-taking-measurements.html

Oh. If you have a SIMPLY FASHION in your area, THEY ARE THE BEST FOR PLUS SIZE CHEAP!!!!

I'll jump on the bandwagon with everything else and say OLD NAVY is the best I have found. Be careful because some of their stuff run a bit big. Their dresses are very comfy and I love their shirts. If you are having a stomach issue (big stomach that wont seem to go away) buy from their maternity plus section. For shoes…

Welcome to MFP. I came from Spark People too and I will be honest, I WILL NEVER GO BACK. The people here are so welcoming and I love it. Add me as a friend if you wish.

Scales are not always accurate. I can weight at night and get one reading and then in the morning be down 4 pounds. When I eat a lot, the scale does not always show it the same day but I can tell the difference during the week. Note: Dont punish yourself! LOL You ate good. Enjoyed your evening. Move forward.

Looks like I need a better machine! LOL. I will find the manual and try to figure out what the speed is. It also has a distance but it just say if its miles, km, etc. I know its not miles because I usually am up in the thousands. LOL

Glad you found a way to get enough room for a good dinner. Subway's calories comes from the bread, cheese, and mayo. You have to be very careful. Believe it or not, the white bread is the lowest calories. I always thought it was the wheat or oak or something. Now when I have subway, I get a foot long with no cheese. I only…

Very good info. I will buy some PAM.

When you dont understand the will of God, trust His heart.

I am struggling as well. I am doing the elliptical for about 75 minutes a week. I know it's not a lot but its what I can do right now. Cant wait to find out what others are doing. As for all those programs, I AM NOT THERE YET..LOLLLLL GREAT JOB FOR YOU!

Thanks to everyone for supporting my hubby on this journey. We can do this together. MFP is a safe place to learn and lose.

I could not eat yogurt until this year. I found Dannon Delights and I love them.

Send me a request. I try to stay connected here as much as possible. Its safe here. LOL

Wow. What a story and so inspirational. I will keep you and your family in my prayers!

Hey. It's really easy to count calories with a heart monitor. You can get them free at most doctor offices. They also sell them at Wal-Mart. Another thing to consider is using this website to count your fitness and stuff. When you put in what you did and how long, it calculates your calories for you. My husband is really…
