You need to eat more! You sleep when you don't exercise - this tells you your calorie deficit is too large! You are leaving around 800 calories a day uneaten - this is 800 calories in addition to the deficit that your plan already gives you - way to much!

^^^^^^this^^^^^ Less is not more - understanding how hormones drive weight gain and how we fall into the must starve to lose weight trap is huge. Once you get your metabolism reset you will do fine. Be patient with your self follow the roadmap and it will happen.

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12 I see that this is your second post with the same question. Take a look at the links in the roadmap - they will help you decide what your daily intake should be. If you are doing JM 30ds you are probably moderate active.

Getting help from your practitioner is a good idea. They can help steer you in the right direction. Have you looked at http://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/get-help-today/ there is a lot of good info there. Take a break from logging, it may help if you are not so focused on a number. In the mean time you can start to…

Goblin was the runt of a litter that was hand/bottle feed when the mother was killed. Since he had such a tiny build the blockage would always be in the lower end/tip of the penis, never further up which is the usual site for male blockages. Once the penis was removed they could open the urethra and anchor it to the skin…

One of mine will drink from any container anywhere - in fact if the closest water dish is low she will dunk her paw in my mug and lick it dry - she will lick the faucets to get you to turn them on. Loves the cat water fountain I have upstairs. One will only drink from moving water - and lets me know when the fountain is…

the small and dark stool may just be a reflection of the fact that she is not eating much. I would watch to see that you are getting urine clumps. Have you tried tuna water on her chow or in a dish? Its not something I would do on a regular basis but will give you a feel for whether she is truly ill or just has a bit of a…

Grass is a good roughage option - be aware you may get the urk response from it if she has a GI issue! My crew likes fresh grass as well as the grass hay i give my guinea pigs. One of mine likes FIberone - the original 60 cal version as a treat and it helps keep him regular as well a helping with hairballs

if it is a UTI then she will be in the litter an a lot trying to pee - and may even start to use corners or other places to try to go. Girls do not have ans many problems as boys with UTIs and blockage issues since the anatomy tends to be larger in girls. I had a boy that was a tiny build part Siamese that had to have a…

Yes call your vet when available - in the mean time is she drinking and peeing? yes you will need to scoop the litter pan daily to see! Is she doing the hairball barff thing? I have three cats and at least two of them do the periodic hairball thing - don't want to eat and will urk up if they do. Hairball meds that you can…

no way to tell since you have not given any info on height weight age sex daily activity levels and exercise program - the amount you need to eat to generate a safe daily deficit depends on the answers to those questions

Chinese take out is a huge sodium bomb! Lots of water will flush it back out!

If you use cheese cloth you will need to use multiple layers so you get a clothlike texture. You can always put a paper towel in the cheese cloth first to help trap more of the solids - I have used just paper towels or even a a closeweave kitchen towel in place of cheese cloth if I did not have it handy.

i have taken the numbers that you have given in your post and plugged them into the roadmap http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12 this is what you get - - - - - the calorie target in the following activity table is what you would need to maintain your current weight. to…

Add your favors just before you eat it if you are using RAW fruit otherwise you will get some strange reactions. If you are using extracts for flavoring then it can be added after it is strained otherwise you will lose flavor when you remove the whey. Any of the unsweetened all fruit jams work well as add ins but I always…

The impedance methods can vary a lot depending on how hydrated you are a the time it was done as well as the time of the day it was taken. I can vary by around 5% BF depending on time of day, time of the month,when I took a dump last, if I just had a hard workout, if my bladder is full or empty. It should be a guide only.…

Are you following a program like stronglifts, starting strength or new rules of lifting? did you take your rest day or do you do heavy cardio on your rest/recovery day? If you have taken your rest days and have had good nutrition and adequate protein intake to support a heavy lifting program then go ahead and lift, but it…

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12 you need to eat more - take a look at the link and find your BMR - don't eat below that number. find your TDEE - eat around 20% less than this This will give you a single daily target number that includes both your planed deficit and…

The 20% deficit is if you have more than 10 lbs to lose. If you are close to goal then you should be closer to a 10% deficit. If you have a lot to lose - obese BMI - then you can usually do a 30% deficit. Just be sure to redo the calculation for every 10 lbs you lose. Remember that this is a daily goal and you do not chase…

With your stated exercise program you are not lightly active - you are at least moderate. TDEE includes all your activity not just you work activity. TDEE = your BMR (calories burned if you are bedridden) + calories burned for you daily life + calories burned for your exercise program. If you take your 20% cut from the…

You need to be lifting heavy 3 times a week and if your a cardio addict cut down on the cardio. Working muscles with compound lifts will give you the shape that you want. stronglifts 5x5.or starting strength or new rules of lifting for women - they are all good programs plus stronglifts and NROLFW both have groups on MFP.…

It would work about the same as ricotta cheese does in lasagna. I would look for small curd and you may want to cream it in the blender to smooth out the texture a bit. Add some herbs and seasoning that would complement your casserole, think about layering things like a lasagna or you could mix it all together like a…

I can too but it makes a mess! Darn! :laugh:

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12 check out the roadmap - is your calorie target realistic? is your deficit too high? If you are close to gaol the deficiet should only be 5-10% of TDEE. Do you get enough protein? - 1 gm per pound of lean body mass? Are you lifitng…

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12 Here is another way to look at your calorie target - if you follow dan's roadmap your deficit and exercise calories are averaged in for the week and you only have one number to shoot for - you do not have to worry about eating back…

MFP does not include your intended exercise into the calorie calculation for your "base" calorie target. You get credit for these when you actually do them and log them. MFP then adds the calories you burn to your quota for the day and you get them after you have earned them.

Building muscle means increasing the number of muscle fibers in any given muscle. to grow new muscle you need to stress your existing muscles and then provide enough nutrition to allow for repair and building new muscle. This requires adequate protein and calories on a regular basis. When you eat at a deficit you will lose…

Way to Go! When you get to that point it is more a mind game than physical one which can make it hard to conquer! :drinker:

I would use the fitbit data as your guide. If your fitbit profile is set up correctly then it will give you a better idea of how much you burn vs the MFP guestimation. If your daily activity is fairly consistent from week to week you can use your weekly fitbit report to wee what your daily average burn tends to be. Go back…

It is an insurance surcharge since your employers insurance vendor charges a higher premium to insure smokers. If you get life insurance through your employer it also factors into your premium for that as well. My employer passes the increase on to any who do not certify they are smoke free but will give the reduced…
