5'2 and my goal weight is 115... 10 pounds to go..woohoooo:flowerforyou:

I counted ALL the M & Mz in the bag and divided the total amount for the package by what I ate... ex.. 1 serving iz one whole bag @ 250 calories and there were 60 m & Ms ... 60 into 250 iz 4. 1 .... ... so 4 calorie per piece ( thiz waz the one for plain m & ms per piece... )

on LOW days, (1000) no exercise, just 10 minutes of ab work . :grumble: on regular days (1200) house work on HIGH days (1500 cals) a 30 minute bike ride or a 20 minute circuit training video... havent decided whether to eat it back or not... right now I'll just say NO... that may change in the future. This may seem LOW to…

I started calorie cycling this week I do 1500, 1000, 1200, 1500, 1000, 1200, 1000 repeat. ( this averages out to 1200 a day..the amount MFP says for me to eat to lose) this is set for high to moderate fat loss for me. .. BUT, my TDEE and my BMR are probably lower than yours.... I actually posted on my blog about this TODAY…

that is a heck of a transformation in 2 months !!!:love:

thank you everyone for ALL of your help... i found my 3 calorie cycling numbers for the week... ( I started yesterday so Im on week 1 day 2 at this point) one high , , one low and one regular ( for my fitness and activity level) those 3 numbers, then repeat...with the last day being a low day also... I am going to try it…

mix 1/4 a cup in with a garden salad and dressing...mix well, it'll almost just blend in... OR take 1/2 a cup and mix with a del monte 50 calorie mixed fruit can... makes it sweet n yummy OR 1/2 cup with nothing on it... it tastes good plain.. one thing to note : the non fat variety is much more bitter than the lowfat, 4 %…

awesome...that makes TOTAL sense....

so do I leave it at the HIGHER or LOWER calories in my food diary??? I know at the higher calories it adjusts the macros UP and I dont want the option to over carb myself on my low days because I have the calories set to the higher calorie level.

Thank you for the site info... it looks easy peesy.

I guess WHY I thought this was a good idea was : #1. I have hit a plateau even though i brought UP my calories... ( I WAS doing 1000 the first 2 months before I brought it up to 1200 the last month and two weeks.) #2. I went back through my nutrition for the past 3 months ( in your tools if you didn't know) and I have a…

I keep enough cal for zome popcorn...it fulfills the urge to chew and the "munchies" feeling I get while reading at night. only 50 cal for 2 cups popped.

mine too.... UGH!!

updated for MAY:

I found out this monday I also have PCOS , Ive used almost everything under the sun for the acne it has caused ...before i even knew why I had it ...(most recent has been the pro active) ... I found that going back to the good ole basics worked for me ( clean with ivory soap, the wash with noxema, then wipe with stridex…

I just found out from my Dr. that since having my son (hes 3now) that my body stopped producing one of the chemicals it needed and that is why my TOM has been whacked out these past few years . the DR. put me on hormone pills and he said it should reduce the flow..and the weirdness of things like what you talked about...…

* need to come back later*

I buy the sugar free( and take out 1/2 the container) and mix in 1/2 of regular powdered creamer... makes the sugar free taste WAY better. . and still keeps the calories/fat/sugar down.

I AM OUT FOR MAY per doctor orders... :sad:

I also do hot tea... but if that doesn't do the trick i either eat popcorn, yogurt or a FEW (like 5) M&M z (depends what Im craving... chocolate, salty, creamy)

... the "CLEAN QUEEN" since i just thoroughly cleaned the whole freakin house...

today was weighted sit ups for 20 minutes and 20 minute bike ride = 40 minute @ 214 calories

Good luck on your journey and keep up the great work you have started:flowerforyou:

Thank you... I realized i was using my cleaning more and more as a crutch and as an excuse ... so I could justify NOT having to put in the effort to do a REAL workout... * sigh* fine time for me to get an exercise conscience...:wink: I dont want to "cheat" myself out of the beneficial results of "real" exercises .. SOOOO I…
