I am restricting my calories. The problem is I don't know what number to restrict them to. MFP has me at 1200 a day and then tells me to eat all the calories I burn from cardio. What I'm trying to decide is if I should eat all of them, half of them, etc. The only solution I've really come up with is to "eat a couple…

So I went in and talked to the manager. The main problem and reason why I really can't afford the training sessions is medical and they wanted details. I gave them as few as I could get away with and they agreed to "put it on pause" until they heard from me again. So no more free koolaid for this girl. I think I'm going to…

I like the idea of the letter. I'd totally do that if I thought they'd read it and not charge my card. Anyway, I'll give them a call tomorrow and if/when I'm approached again I am going to say, "I'm sure you could help me but this is something I need to do for myself." Also IMHO $55 for a single training session is really…

Well the thing is they let me date the contract for the future since I don't get paid till the 31st. I am going to call and cancel as soon as I calm down a little. I've got a friend coming over to give me a hug and keep me from burying my face in a bag of chocolate.

"Unfortunately, just because you have a "deadline" and work harder, doesn't really mean the weight is going to drop faster. Eating at such low calories is not going to help either, you are doing a TON of exercise." I'm a female with a BMR of 2200. If I eat MORE than 1500 a day I will not lose, which I know from previous…

Thanks everyone. I actually drink green tea on my own so I don't think I'll worry about adding those to my diet. As for the timed release vitamins - those may have to wait a payday or two until I renew my costco membership. I'm sure they have them there. Sam's Club is a good idea but the closest one is 15 miles away from…

I'm with the other posters - try changing out the Powerade Zero. It does have sucralose (Splenda) in it and while Splenda has fairly good PR some people are sensitive to it. See here: http://www.ehow.com/about_5063854_splenda-allergy-symptoms.html If you try a couple days without the Powerade and don't get headaches you'll…

I'm sorry for not phrasing that better. I take a daily multivitamin but I am questioning the benefit of a time release vitamin. I've never heard of them before and I thought I would mention them on this site to see if anyone had any experience or opinions to share. I'm really wary of products that are pushed at me in a…

I actually do try to balance my macros by having a little fat in every meal. Breakfast today was an egg + an egg white, 2 oz shredded cheese, red bell pepper, and onions in a whole wheat burrito with strawberries, for example. I don't actually do ratios - should it be 40% carbs, 30% protein, 30% fat?

Thanks everyone I appreciate the ideas and I really appreciate the support. I really wanted to drop 2 sizes in a little less than 3 months but I need to be realistic and take things in little steps. I'm going to start out by walking and using the elliptical and seeing about a beginner yoga workout. I'll try the 30 day…
