I too was getting discouraged, When the diary said i should be a certain weight by 5 weeks and it wasn't happening I just thought "It wasn't working" Then my mind told me I have tried other ways and keep gaining back, that this is the best thing I have used and started tweeking my goals to shorter ones. ONe day at a…

This calulation helped me alot! copied it down. because i am sometimes less active on certain days I can ajust accordingly by these equasions.Thanks!

great insite! I will check it out Thanks!

ty I went to the site and it wants me to join something, however it was insightfull to reset to 40/30/30 on my intake nutrition because I am an apple shape. Thanks for your input!

It depends some days 300 under other days when i excersise I eat more, and my diary still shows a deficiet, but doesn't tell me that i have eaten too few calories. like on the days I do not cardio/weight lift

no I didn't adjust it myself. At first i put in sitting sedatary and it came out 1200 calories..I was starving so i put in moderate since 3 days a week i am on my feet alot. it boosted the cals up to the 1350 mark. i am not sure what TDEE is? thats another thing i get confused about BMR<TDEE. Maybe I should adjust the…

OK thas a little clearer.. at first I thought why have a calorie goal at all why not just eat around your bmr..butI see the calorie goal is where you want to be AFTER your bmr intake minus your calories. I guess i feel guilty seeing red in my diary thinking I have over gone my calories! So on the days I do no cardio, its…

sheritaki noodles, dry roast.. set aside.. in hot skillet with splash of sesame oil add as you need to when adding all the veggies to stirfry.(It goes a long way so no more than a Tb.) 1/2 cup brocolli,1 green pepper, 4 stalks of fresh bok choy cut up,1/2 onion quarted,fresh ginger and bean sprouts are good. stir fry on…

WOW I can't wait to get there. How long did it take you? The thing i noticed about before and after photos is the eyes. When they are a bigger size they seem small,kinds get lost in the face, but after the weight loss the eyes look bigger,brighter. You look beautiful!!

My problem was I didn't know why I gained weight. I have lost big 2 times in my life mostly from just starving,then I thought once i got it off it won't come back that I can have a normal life like people who's genetics don't make them gain weight. I would whine.."Why couldn't I have had the skinny DNA?" Even though I…

I love chinese food!! However eaten out, its full of extra oils and msg. I make my own at home (Ilove lo mein) with shertaki noodles, measure all oils and soys and used fresh veggies. when I go out,I eat steamed choices on the chinese menus and useally eat three times off my one order lol. Plum sauce is great and I dip my…

I recently ordered this type of noodles on line and have a cook book that came with them.These noodles are now my best friend! Its so hard to believe that they take on the flavor of your seasonings and are great! i have angle hair, fetta and rice. I have not tried the rice yet but the others are great so far. i tried…

I ADORE Pancakes they are one thing I miss but everytime I do regular,I get a sugar drop it seems. later on i get the shakes.SO am ready to try these! Thanks!:love:

I grow my own tomatoes and can them in season. I guess you can freeze them too. It takes a long time for tomatoes to boil down to a sauce and a hand food processor helps while they are in the pot simmereing. In season, buy your tomatoes in bulk if possible and preserve them. When its time for your chili batch you can cook…

I agree controlling and mental abuse in cluded. time heals I have been there.

When I first started I was like that too.some days I still am more hungry than other days, depending on what I eat. I just ordered on line, some Shirataki noodles and received them today. They have a soluble fiber in them known as glucomannan.Once you eat the noodles they expand in your stomach which is supposed to ward…

Since this is supposed to be a long term Journey, we will always have times we eat out . What I try to do , knowing I am going, is eat a healthy snack before I go, order sauces, gravy and dressings on the side and either measure them with your teaspoon or dip lightly leaving most of it.,go for steamed,grilled, baked and…

personally, I log what i do at work or try to match it up as well as I can.. I stand on my feet anywhere from 3-7 hours a day moving my arms walking from one place to another. (I am a hair dresser) the closest thing I could come to in my excersise log was "standing fishing on a bank" I put in a little less minutes than I…

I work in a beauty shop as an independent contractor Pet Peevs Not keeping their conversation professional to their clients leaving their dirty color bowls lying about making it hard for you to clean up yours complaining behind the owners back then nice to their face snacking constanly on the floor, not doing their share…

I wondered the same thing,but watching my salt intake, I took off potassium since they only give you so many choices to choose from on the settings. I am always under with my potassium. If its that important, i may look into a supplement to add to my list of minerals I take lol.

Thanks all I really appreciate your input! I figured out how to add the sodium through my settings so I can keep track. I have a scale to measure weight..however not sure if I am supposed to measeure it raw, or already cooked. If I put 6 ounces of hamburger on the scale,and its 80/20 it shrinks to aprox 3 ounces. If I put…

Thanks for your input!! I get fresh ground hamburger from the butcher,but the sausage I can understand,.How do I add this to my macro. and what is the macro?

I read this and point taken.Thanks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM&ob=av3e This is the link that tells you haow your body burns calories its about 45 mins to watch but I found it very educating.

I was just giving some info I watched on calorie burning..Some people do eat a little something before they excersise.If that works for you than its good. The doctor in this video suggests doing it on an empty stomach to ready your body for calories...just a different insight. I do agree that the 1200 calories your machine…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM&ob=av3e I thnk you can see the doctors video by this link. I ts called sugar.. the bitter truth. It takes about 45 mins to watch but it is very insiteful on caloried and how our bodies process them.:wink:

I watched a video,by a nutrient Doctor that was suggested on this sight about sugar in processed food(high frutose sugar) and how it is poison to your body.. anyway during his lecture, he broke down how your body rids of these sugars including the sugars in alcohol and other foods. he said if you ate a big Mac it would…

I like Aunt Millies whole grain light bread its only 35 cal per slice, has no high frutose sugar, no real perseritives, so I keep it in the fridge.

for sure dog bathing! I have 4 shi tzus and lifting ,then fighting with them to keep them in the tub, not to mention the bend over while sitting on the toilet next to the tub. My legs are in a spread quat the whole time..my inner thighs are shaking when I get done.. useally it takes me about 3 hours by the time I hold them…

I am convinced that the high frutose sugars in processed food has been my sabotauge..I started tracking my sugar and found in certain things(Bread in particular) has hi frutose sugar,certain mayos crackers, etc. I started using Aunt Millies whole grain light bread, it has no high frutose sugar in it at 35 cal a slice..its…
