i usually eat oatmeal and some type of fruit, or a slim fast shake. i stick to about 300 cals at breakfast, no more. cereal usually doesn't work for me cause i'm just STARVING so soon after eating it. this is because foods like cereal are quick calories. incorporate some thigns like yogurt, and oatmeal...they'll keep you…

hi everyone :smile: I'm sure this topic has been hit a million times, but i searched the past forum postings and couldn't find anything as far as i looked! just curious about any good green teas that you all may know of. I'm drinking Yogi green tea right now, and it's pretty good. another question....i cannot have…

DO NOT GET DISCOURAGED!!! i definitely do not eat less. are you eating back the calories you work off as you are suppossed to, to be sure you do not dip below 1200? that's very important so that your body does not slip into "starvation mode." also, some of the weight gain could very well be water weight. weight fluctuates…

oh wow that sounds AMAZING!!! definitely will be making it this weekend :smile:

hahaha i'm cracking up over here...especially with the I HAVE TO EXERCISE EARLY IN THE MORNING BEFORE MY BRAIN FIGURES OUT WHAT I AM DOING. :laugh:

Thanks so much for the advice/knowledge everyone...I really really appreciate it! As some of you asked, no the dizziness does not happen when I am just sitting still, nor when I stand quickly. It seems to be directly related to exercise. I'm going to take all of your advice, and really load up on water everyday, not only…

I'm pretty sure I'm eating enough. I usually work out inthe afternoons after eating breakfast and lunch, and I usually eat a snack, like toast with peanut butter before my work out. I am just freaked out that this is happening! It's really scary :frown: and very discouraging since I'm so worried now that I will get dizzy I…

Hey everyone... Just wanted to get some of your thoughts/opinions on this! Recently (over the past year) when I exercise, more often than not I get really dizzy after or during exercise. This used to never happen, and I was exercising MUCH harder and more frequently then. Now, sometimes even after only 10 minutes of…

don't get discouraged! really the best way to get the soreness to go away is to WORK OUT AGAIN!!! i know i know, the thought may sound like hell right now, but you have to get that acid build up out of those muscles!! don't do anything heavy, or you'll hurt yourself. but, like someone mentioned above, go for a long walk,…

When I can't find food on the calorie count database, I do rough estimates. I try to look up the different parts of the item that I know are in there, or just guess. Or, honestly, I say screw the count for those foods liek you're talkign about, and just eat small portions of the food in moderation. I would try to avoid the…

I've always done the dipping thing!! It's great way to cut out wasteful calories...just always ask for the dressing on the side, and you'll be suprised how much less you use by dipping. if you had dumped the whole saucer of it on your salad you'd have eaten the whole thing! and as for great low cal dressing, Hidden…

definitely jessica biel....and jessica alba! they look healthy, not ridiculously skinny like a lot of celebs today.

current 158, goal is 150!

so, yesterday I did great with my eating, had a great workout, and then went to a new years eve party, drank, and did the drunken eating thing! i had 800 cals left when i went to the party, and i ended up eating a big dinner there and THEN some. snacked all night!!! feeling horrible now :frown:

i'm 24, 5'10 158. I'd like to get down to 145!

I didn't work out today, I like to give myself Saturday and Sunday off. I did eat very healthy today though, and kept my calorie goal. Tomorrow it's back ot the gym for the rest of the week. Good luck everyone!

I want to join too! I just joined the board today, and am so excited! I'm shooting for 10 by Valentine's day, and I think with the support here I can do it! Good luck everyone! excited!! :smile:

i'm from virginia beach too :wink: welcome, and good luck!

I'm a daily-weigher :wink: I think it just helps keep me more aware of what's going on with my body. I know a lot of people say that you should do it once a week at most, but I think jumping on the scale each morning keeps me focused on my goal and aware of where my weight is at. Yes, I know weight fluctuates a lot, but I…

Hi everyone :smile: My name is Christy, I'm 24 years old from Virginia Beach. I'm new to this site, and I'm really excited about it! I used to use calorie-count.com but now that I've found this one, I think I'll like it a lot better! I'm really excited for the support there seems to be here. Pretty much I'm a yo-yo weight…
