I actually don't even use butter in my eggs. I use a tiny bit of olive oil. My issue tends to be when I make butternut squash with butter, salmon with butter, or using loads of olive oil when I make my veggies. I picked up that bad habit living in Italy. Has anyone tried the coconut oil cooking spray? Is it any good?

These are all really good suggestions...thank you.

I actually have it set at a pound a week, and it allows me to consume 1,300 calories a day. :neutral:

Non-hormone vanilla whey.

Thanks to everyone for all of the great input. I will definitely try readjusting things.

Yes, I unfortunately sit for 9 hours a day. I would say I do cardio for 40 to 50 minutes and then 4 sets of 4 different machines for whatever muscle group I will be working that day.

Also, I have to be burning calories with strength training, no???

The problem is that I continue to feel hungry and sometimes will even cramp up or feel low on energy at the gym, despite the fact that I am eating over my calorie limit. I am 5'6", 26-years-old, and I am fluctuating between 147 and 151 right now.

Thanks to everyone for all of the suggestions!

A big thanks to everyone. I'm assuming the doctor doesn't want her accidentally getting hit with something or hurting herself since the impact and being on blood thinners can cause internal bleeding. But the coach is working with us to scale down these exercises. For example...while everyone else was doing wallballs…

Thanks. Hoping to maybe get some input from people who have had a stroke/do crossfit or anyone on here who is a physical therapist.

I do because I work the overnight shift. Just make sure to ger your exercise in.

The fact that you said that I saw this coming is pretty disgusting. I did not see this coming at all, and neither did my family. He had everyone duped. His cousins can't believe what he did to me. He is a liar. I also want to know what you mean by "women need to get rid of their long list of ideals." What are you even…

My scumbag husband would try to engrain similar things in my head. "You have to trust me. I would never hurt you. I'm the only person that will ever love you. You won't ever find another man to deal with your personality." Sounds pretty abusive to me.

Thanks to everyone for all of the messages. For the people asking why I would post here...well I'm on MFP almost every day and not having many friends in Miami, tend to talk a lot to people on the forums. I was trying to work on myself before this terrible situation hit and just wanted some support from everyone and was…

Thank you.

Yes, I also noticed that but have no idea how to adjust it.

Thank you for the suggestions. I will look into all of this.

Thanks. I just took them last week. Will try again same time next month and see if there are any changes.

Yes, I am. I weigh in the mornings only. It could very well be. I will try taking me measurements again in a month.

Thank you!

Bump.

Thanks, everyone! I will update in the next few weeks to let everyone know how it's going. Should I be eating exercise calories back even when eating at 1500? For example, I already reached 1500 calories today (was pretty hungry) before my workout. I plan on half an hour of cardio and strong lifts today. That normally buys…

Glad it was as useful for you as it was for me!

Thanks! Seems to be the same advice everyone else has given me. I will start adding on more calories and see what happens!

Thank you! Lots of useful information. I will probably switch to lose .5 pounds a week so that I can eat more and start taking another rest day and see if that will change anything.

Thank you. I will start taking off Sunday's and see if that makes a difference.

Hi. Thanks for your response. I am pretty sure I'm logging accurately. I measure and weigh everything, including oil and any spices I cook with. I have my goal set to lose a pound a week at the moment and that allows me to consume 1260 calories a day. I don't go by MFP's exercise calories but allow my fitbit to take care…

Thank you for all of the suggestions. I actually log the stronglifts exercises under strength training so they don't account for any of my calories burned anyway. This morning I was back up to 142 after being at 140 last week so I am hoping it is in fact a water fluctuation and that I will see some weight loss soon.
