I like to include beans with lunch and dinner. I used to be a bread addict but now only have it VERY rarely. I like to have beans for lunch and dinner because they're a great source of protein & fiber. I don't do meat very much so they are a good substitute. I get cans of pinto beans, blackeye peas, kidney beans, etc. Open…

I am 5'3" and 137 pounds, very small frame. I started at 144 lbs. and my goal is 125 pounds. You read everywhere that no one should eat less than 1200 calories per day, and that is what is recommended by MFP for most people, or at least, never less than 1200 calories. In my experience, I cannot lose weight if I eat that…

OK, I am 5'3", small frame, and exercise 30 minutes, 6 times a week, burning about 200 calories on the treadmill. I am now (for the past 2 weeks) 142 pounds. The treadmill gives me the number of calories for a 150 pound person. 142 is 95% of 150. So I take 95% times 217 calories = 206 calories. BTW, what does HID mean?

No, I'm still on the No flour, No Sugar. What that means (according to the book by Dr. Gott), is no processed flour (wheat, bran, corn, anything that says "flour" on the ingredient list.) and no refined sugar (table sugar, processed sugar, etc.) I do eat fruit and corn, anything that has sugar in it naturally.

For me, that is way too much. I am 5'3" and small bone structure. When I was younger (I'm now 64) I used to weigh anywhere from 108 to 125. At about age 50, I really started putting on the weight. My goal now is 125.

I had gotten to the point where I couldn't even make it one 1/4 mile lap around the treadmill. Just exhausted. Didn't feel well. I have used the treadmill, off and on, for many years, usually about 20 minutes (4 laps). As noted above, sugar and white processed flour have no nutritional value, only empty calories. I thought…
