Like others I would say see a dietitian. I had similar experience, was gaining weight or maintaining it while walking about 20 miles a week at work. I cut my calories to lose weight to about 700 to 900 per day. This was done by eating healthy not intentionally eating that many, and I wasn't losing weight. Turns out my body…

I like the endangered species chocolate. over 30 kinds and really good www.chocolatebar.com/ they are in the organic section of the grocery store here even though it doesn't show it on the store locator. Really delicious concoctions and flavors :D

I find that I have more energy, stamina, and feel overall better now that I have Fruit in my daily diet. I hear you on the melon because I ma the same with cantaloupe :) I love it. I would say that you should eat fruit if you want it. Your body processes natural fruit sugar differently than refined sugar. I wish they had a…

Lite Strawberry Yogurt with vanilla granola and raspberry and strawberries

When I made my roast turkey earlier this year I wanted to make stuffing but had no celery, so I used day old stale 35 calorie whole grain bread cut into cubes with ff low sodium chicken broth, added the sauteed onions and added broccoli slaw to the mix with my poultry seasoning an baked it in the oven for 20 min on 350 and…

my profile is set to 1 bound a week loss and it has me at 2120 calories a day but im lucking if i get up to 1400 lol my norm is around 1200-1300 a day and that is when i eat a lot or drink something like soda (which only do about 2-3 times a month) i couldnt imagine eating my calorie goal and anything from working out lol…

thanks for all the info on here and lists, i also have lately been looking at ingredients cause i found lots of makeup (even brands like clinique) are using really bad ingredients like lead and such so watch for that too :) foundation is horrible and some eye liners and shadows!! if it gets absorbed into the skin try and…

thanks for the recipe will try it :) normally if i have oatmeal I add in 1/2 teaspoon all natural peanut butter and 1/2 scoop of chocolate whey protein powder with 1-2 teaspoons 2% milk until i gets to the consistency i like and it is delicious. once in a while ill do honey instead or brown sugar so yummy

i love healthy life bread and if I'm making it for the hubby (doesnt care for wheat) they also have white and Italian all with really low calories and pretty good fiber too

very good idea, i had given up on most after dinner sweets due to calories but I have gotten some good ideas on here thank all :D If anyone wants to add me please due, we can help each other work toward our goals!!

I will try this but use Dijonnaise in place of mayo cause it is less fat and calories while adding that kick from the mustard, good recipe thanks!! and thanks for the lettuce wrap idea :smile:

bump for good sounding sauce, will use with some broccoli and diced chicken breast and noodles thanks :D

thank you everyone for your posts. Just to answer some thoughts - I live in WI so it is FREEZING lol and I don't have a heart monitor. Normally I just check it myself, one of the problems that I have is it is hard for me to get my heart rate to go up. I know a lot of overweight people that can simply walk up steps or run…

thanks Ill look into the slim in 6 :) I do have both laptop and dvd - tv with the walking i think that might help my legs get stronger so i can run, and i LOVE to use a bike just not sure or any that work well that are cheaper (im on a somewhat tight budget)

It sounds like your eating healthy and for that reason your calories is low. It is not always a bad thing to not eat all calories that is suggested. My stats say I'm suppose to eat 2100 calories a day and most days I have between 600 and 1000 left to go. As long as the food your eating is healthy and your getting…

I think you should see a dietitian and have them check your specific body to see rather it will be harmful or not. The main concern is that you need enough throughout the day to keep you going. If it's only a day or two thats one thing, but if it is continual than it can actual make you gain weight if your not careful.…

way to go, you did very well and look great!!

When I started trying to lose weight, about a year ago, I changed one small thing about my diet over the course of a month. The first week I quit drinking soda and fruit juice that was high in calories and sugar. The following week I quick snacking on "bad snacks" and went with healthier options like fruits, yogurt things…

I have only been on this site for about 2 weeks and like you have been losing weight over the last year. I have lost 65 pounds and don't really notice it myself. One of my family members is a nurse for a dietitian and said that most people who don't lose an insane amount of weight (from say gastric bypass or surgery) or…
