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!
