Yep, calories are calories. Veggies are generally pretty lo-cal, so you have some wiggle room. I think a cup of cauliflower has something like 30 calories? So if you go a little over, it's not going to matter much. But you should still get in the habit of measuring and controlling your portions. I gained back all the…

My workouts are much better quality in the evening or at night. I, too, often work out at 9 or 10, and I'm much looser, get warmed up easier, and have more stamina than if I try to jump right out of bed and work out. If I do work out in the morning, I try to keep it easy like walking or riding the stationary bike.

You lost 33 pounds in a month? That's... really unhealthy. Your blood sugar levels are probably bouncing all over hell, as are your values of other nutrients.

Wow, your bad day isn't that bad. You know what? Eat a peanut butter cup. You deserve it. There's nothing wrong with a free day here and there, an unplanned bad meal (I swear, I did NOT set out to eat half a pizza at my friend's place one night last week), or just saying "I cannot deal with this today". It takes about 3500…

Just go to bed. If I'm really tired, I'm not hungry either. Just don't make this a regular thing.

Oat Revolution oatmeal - around 150 calories depending on flavor, yummy, and has omega-3 and 6. Also good is and similar is the Three Sisters brand from Whole Foods Rice cakes - I'm a horrible midnight snacker (result of a medication I take) and those fulfill that "gotta have sweet and/or salty" urge with a minimum of…

Vegetarian as well. Vegan wouldn't be a healthy choice for me due to some health issues, so I can't help you there, but feel free to add me if you like.

A doctor would approve THIS? (Taken from the hcg1234 website) "hCG, in combination with a 500 calorie diet, tells your body to release your stored fat for constant energy. You are basically using your stored fat stores as fuel and burning between 3500-4000 calories, which in result causes you to lose 1-2 pounds of body fat…

Mine was "Well, I am getting a little older, and everyone puts on some weight as their metabolism slows down". Which is kinda true. Past adolescence to your 20s, your metabolism DOES slow down and it IS easier to gain weight. That's what happened with me. But it doesn't mean I have to keep the weight on. I can lose it, and…

As soon as I kick this cold for good! :sick:

This looks awesome and super easy. I could easily substitute the chicken with vegetarian chicken at the end of the recipe. I'll have to try this one this coming weekend. Thanks!

Wow, great job! I did my first 5 miler in too many years last night. Feels awesome, doesn't it? When I first started running, I had never exercised a day in my life, AND I was a smoker. I couldn't even finish a mile. This coming fall I'm going to attempt a half. Good luck on yours and make sure you let us know how you do!

I don't have an HRM and really don't plan to get one, so I usually leave myself about 75 calories "wiggle room" after exercise anyway and it's worked OK. Not too hungry, lose weight steadily. And MOST of my workouts are runs, which at my weight is about 90 calories per mile no matter how fast I go, so that's generally…

YES! I'm trying to get in shape. Not lob a ring into a fiery mountain.

I'll still take 20 calories as opposed to the 100-200 I could easily use of butter.

I just searched over there, and there were a LOT of results for ICBINB. Maybe I'll have a look when I have more time.

Added you! :)

I agree with what guardup said. Your body gets used to the same routine day in and day out and when you're not longer benefiting from that routine, either in increased muscle mass, cardio capacity, or muscle development, you need to rethink it and not scrap it entirely. Think about it this way: a high school track coach…

Try using salsa in dishes. It's 10 calories per 2 tablespoons and adds tons of flavor. Also meat rubs, chili and taco seasoning, lemon pepper seasonings, etc. Walk down the spice aisle and see what you'd like to try or have a look at www.penzeys.com or a similar site. If you don't like your food as spiced, let him season…

My god girl, EAT SOMETHING! If your diary is right, you're not in "starvation mode" you really ARE starving. On 12/29, you ate 652 calories. That's bordering on starvation right there, THEN you did 627 calories of exercise. Because yeah, the human body can TOTALLY live on 30 calories a day. You didn't log on the 30th. Did…

I fainted once as a result of a particularly nasty cold. I went in to the doc the next day and he said he'd seen a lot of it with that particular virus. I didn't work out again until I felt 100% better. It was a really frightening experience. I work in a plasma center and have seen a decent number of donor's have vasovagal…

Added. Gotta be friends with a fellow member of the Pretty White Kitty Club. :heart:

I'm a firm believer in low to moderate fat, and calories in/calories out. The first time I did MFP I wasn't eating a high fat diet, but I wasn't eating a low fat diet either, and I lost 8 pounds. If you can lose the weight but you can't keep it off, that just means that over time, you revert to old eating habits and…

I've been sick for a week and while I've felt up to doing some light exercise now and then, I haven't been very hungry either. Don't worry about it. If you're not hungry, don't eat. Why force feed yourself when you don't have an appetite?
-
As a dancer, I'm guessing you have an active lifestyle. Are you sure you're eating enough? That sounds like near starvation to me.
-
EXACTLY! The person who said that was on this site for a couple weeks, never really tried (consistently over her calorie goal on AWFUL foods), and then quit after like 2 weeks. It's like, if you're not ready, fine. But then don't b1tch. I take Remeron. All the SSRIs I've tried have done unholy things to me, and Wellbutrin…

With skim milk, soymilk, or fat free half and half and fat free or vegan cheese, this could be made pretty healthy, although it's really not bad the way it is. A small order at Noodles and Co is 450 calories, and a lot of the store bought ones are 400 or so.

Unless you're supplementing testosterone, you won't look like a body builder. This isn't directed specifically at you, but it's so annoying when women are afraid of strength because they don't want to "get huge". Like, I took a weight training course in college for my PE credit and there were these 2 girls in there that…

I drink 1 or 2 cans a day of Zevia or soda sweetened with Splenda. I don't notice any perceptible changes in my blood sugar or craving for sweets and I have no intention of removing soda from my diet. There are so many things I've given up - and am glad I have - to adopt a healthier lifestyle, that I'm not giving up…
