your best bet for accurate calorie counts would be to invest in a good heart rate monitor. That way you know exactly how many caloires you are burning in those times.

You'e looking fantastic!! Great work losing the first 100! and I hope the rest of the weight you want to lose comes off super easily for you!

Your post sounds like it was written by me! I was on Lexapro for a while after being diagnosed with GAD but went off of it because the possible side effects gave me more anxiety than I was having without it! The best advice I can give you is to just start exercising. Start slow to calm your nerves. Walk and a slow/moderate…

I started mine two days ago but I'd still like to join for the support! :) GO US!

Did you look at Chobani greek yogurt? The Yoplait and other similar yogurts have a lot of sugar in them.

Thanks! Wishing you lots of luck too!

I get the same thing every once in a while. I get the feeling like I'm hungry in my stomach so I'll eat but then it doesn't touch the feeling. I don't know why we get the feeling but I just try to ignore it as much as possible unless my stomach actually starts to growl then I'll eat. I'd like to know if there is a…

I ate mine with Wheat Thins new Flatbread Crackers. 60 calories for two crackers and they are good sized crackers and quite yummy! OR you could use the Special K cracker chips

I found a bean burrito recipe that I've been obsessed with! 1 Medium whole wheat tortilla, 1/4-1/2 cup of fat free refried beans (warmed), shredded lettuce, diced tomato, two tablespoons of fat free sour cream, and a dash of hot sauce. With a 1/2 cup of refried beans it's only 270ish calories, with 1/4 closer to 250. VERY…

I'm set to 1500 calories but eat from 1200-1500 net per day. :smile:

green grapes (red grapes too) and cucumbers :) mmmmmmmm!

here's my suggestion friend. I know it will sound counter productive but my suggestion is to add 100 calories to your daily requirement. Try eating 1300 a day instead of 1200 a day for about a week and see if you start to lose. I only lost 2 lbs when I was doing 1200 calories but when I upped my calories to 1500 I lost…

are your calories set to 1200? You may be at a point where you need to up your calories a little to help you lose. I found out I don't really lose that much/very quickly when I'm set so low. I had to up my calories. You could try adding 100 calories to your normal daily requirement for a few weeks and see how it works.…

you can buy gluten free tortillas and use them to make a bean burrito with your bean of choice heated and mashed, shredded lettuce, tomato, and some fat free sour cream. very yummy and filling and only 270ish calories depending on what kind of bean you use. :)

I'd check in with the doctor. Just let him/her know what's up and that you started a weightloss journey and started working out. They may need to adjust your meds or may have suggestions for you.

JAMBA JUICE! They have three new all fruit and veggie smoothies that are just fruit, veggies, and ice. Very yummy and usually are a total of 3-3.5 servings of fruits and veggies.

Hang in there! I grew up in tornado alley so had a lot of experiences with tornados. They are very scary but just as you said, at least you and your family are safe!

I've noticed I tend to have a weight loss the day after a cheat day. Don't know if it's a coincidence or not but I have a cheat day once every week or two and by cheat day I don't mean I eat anything different than usual I mean I go over my calories by 100-200. Just listen to your body.

Make sure you get plenty of fiber and protein in your diet every single day and replace your simple carbs with complex carbs. That will help you to stay fuller longer and always always always have a low calories snack with you. Fruit, veggies, or another lower calorie high fiber/protein snack. I carry Special K Protein…

welcome back! :flowerforyou:

YAY!!! That's an awesome feeling!! I have a pair of size 30 jeans that are one of my favorite pairs and I don't fit into them but in about 10 more pounds I should and when I get down to my goal weight I should fit into my size 27 jeans in my closet (my other favorite pair that right now my thigh won't even fit into!) I…

You can weigh as often as you like but I recommend only recording once a week. Normal day to day fluctuations are going to happen but over all each week you should be seeing a steady decline if you stick to your calories and are working out. Good Luck and have fun with what you are doing! :flowerforyou:

I have had the same situation before but it was not related to weightloss. It's because you're not ovulating and when you don't produce any FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) your body thinks it's time for another period. I had that go on for about 3 months. I went to a specialist and was put on clomid to help me ovulate…

Just try to eat lightly the rest of the day and then just get back on track tomorrow. Try to maybe be under 100 calories a day for the rest of the week to even things out. That's what I do. So you had one bad day...oh well. Don't let it destroy your efforts :flowerforyou:

Welcome! Don't get discouraged. Just take one day at a time and you will most definitely get there! :flowerforyou: I have 62 lbs total to lose and feel the same way sometimes; like there is no end in sight. But everyday I do well I am a day closer to being at my goal weight. :smile:

are you in AZ? That sun is darn hot here!

1.5 C. Malt-o-meal honey scooters (cheap honey nut cheerios) 1 C. Almond Breeze unsweetened vanilla almond milk 205 calories :smile:

if you inhaled the cinnamon it's possible your brochial lining is irritated. If you didn't and you've had cinnamon before without any adverse reactions it's probably something else you've come into contact with. Just keep an eye on it. If your tongue or throat starts to swell get to the hospital otherwise I would say maybe…
