I crave bad things too..... I find if I get a craving I do something to distract myself like go for a walk or go clean a room or even just drink a big glass of water with some flavoring!! It usually works. The other thing is I allow myself ONE treat every day usually 1 small piece of chocolate, somehow when you don't tell…

Listen to your body..... if you're truly not hungry do not eat!! Some days I have big deficits and every so often I go over! It all evnems out :) I actually try and keep 200 calories "in my pocket"

You can add me! I'm looking for a few new friends...... I am about 10-15 pounds from my goal, but I faithfully visit this site everyday :)

This! I totally agree and it is my philosphy as well, although one time some muscle head on here wanted to argue with me :)

Italy!!

You could just go into settings and select maintain current weight! If you really want people to know you are pregnant you could type it into your profile! Like the previos post... you really don't need to eat more because you are pregnant and if you are eating healthy that's all that matters!

I use Whey to go by Solgar. Get it at the vitamin shoppe, it has 90 calories, 20 grams of protein.... NO artificial anything including sugars plus no cholesterol.... something I didn't realize some protein powders have like 60mg of cholesterol per serving (an issue for me) I have to admit its and aquired taste, but you get…

salmon, brown rice and broccoli!!!!

Kashi Go Lean Cereal ( Honey almond Flax my favorite) with a cup of berries and almond milk!! My other favorite is a protein shake if Im short on time :) Almond milk, protein powder, and frozen berries ..... YUM!
-
How about small individual serving bags? That way you get to eat the whole bag, but still be good! Dessert is my problem, I have solved this by making a protein shake in the evenings when I get the urge to raid my pantry! Also don't make certain foods "off limits" for me that makes me want them more! Everything in…

I have a Polar FT4, love it! was $65 on amazon. It has a chest strap and a watch you wear together, the chest strap is sooo comfy you don't even know you are wearing it! Turns out I actually burn more calories during my workout than MFP says. Before the HRM I never ate back my calories, I still try not too but I feel…

WOW, so many good ideas! I hope they keep coming! Chili and snap peas seem to be favorites! I also try to stay clear of processed foods, so I really like the ideas for spicing up my chicken! I also maybe need to make more food at dinner so maybe I can just bring leftovers! Thanks everyone for sharing!

This is my life too! I get up at 4am while the kids are sleeping! Then take my shower, get them up by 6 and out the door by 7am! Then the rest of my day is the same as hers!!! Once you get in the habit of getting up early, you start to just wake up on your own! It only takes about a week or 2 to get in a good rythm!!!!…

My husband and I get up at 4am 6 days a week to workout! It's nice because if he's getting up I HAVE to and vice versa! We definatly keep eachother motivated, makes you work out a little harder because someone is watching!!! Good Luck!

"Apples have fructose (natural), not sucrose (refined)" if sucrose is refined, how is it found in apples!? "Alpha-Linolenic-Acid, Asparagine, D-Categin, Isoqurctrin, Hyperoside, Ferulic-Acid, Farnesene, Neoxathin, Phosphatidyl-Choline, Reynoutrin, Sinapic-Acid, Caffeic-Acid, Chlorogenic-Acid, P-Hydroxy-Benzoic-Acid,…

Expand the Carb section, hmmmmmm. http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/fruits-and-fruit-juices/1809/2 So once again, how to they differ? [/quote] so it's obvious that a carb is a carb to you. you asked how they were different metabolically, and in that sense you have to factor in fiber and glycemic index. I stick to "slow…

Apples have fructose (natural), not sucrose (refined).... an apple has a GI (glycemic index) of 40, a packet of sugar has 60. The apple has fiber to help your body metabolize it slower, making you feel full longer. Eat a packet of refined sugar and you'll burn right through it and it won't do a thing for you! THATS the…

You should stick with the honey. I just noticed today that I usually go over my sugar count for the day, but it is because of fruits veggies and grains. As long as your sugar count is not high from processed food with ADDED sugar you are fine. I actually did some research on that today, then I stopped worring about it!

When I follow the program I'm on to a tee, I only net between 900-1000 calories per day. Granted I don't follow it all the time but I try not to go over 1200. I lose weight pretty quickly when I can do this. I think it's ok, especially if you are working with a trainer. Just make sure the foods you are eating are good…

I keep a bag of baby carrots with me or celery sticks! They keep your mouth busy w/o doing too much damage!

You are an inspiration! Keep up the great work!!! You look great!!!

I'm having withdrawl!!!!! I can't blieve I'm still on here even though it's down!! LOL!!!
-
I don't eat mine back, when I do I DO NOT lose, when I don't, I lose!!! That's just MY body... it doesn't like the whole "eat more to weigh less" philosphy!!
-
Sounds like you are doing all the right things. My doctor told me your body sometimes has different ideas than you do! I was having a lot of problems trying to lose on my own I would lose 3 pounds then gain it back the next month, one vicious cycle! I have been using a program called the PINK method, it's a nutrition plan…

I am hoping to do better than 5 but I am in! I have been looking for new friends since mine were disappearing too! Feel free to add me, I log daily! Going to Florida the end of June time to stop messin' around :)

Haha, I tried 30DS and almost died, so I guess I'm in trouble :) I'm hoping the last 2 months of Elliptical training will help, I'll keep that other DVD in mind tho, and I will add you as a friend!Thanks!
