A friend just turned me on to Carb Krunchers, http://www.carbkrunchers.com/ - they make rolls, bagels & bread low carb. I've only had their everything bagel but at 6.2 net carbs I'm sold. And they're actually good too. They come frozen so you pop in the microwave for 20 seconds, slice and toast it. I've found that I am…

Physique57 came super highly recommended from my food therapist who is admittedly a "workout snob" having been a ballerina & fitness instructor for years. I have tried it yet, I just ordered it but thought I'd mention.

Thanks everyone... I don't mean to come off sounding unappreciative I am just so frustrated! Judging from some of your comments I'm not eating enough.... which is definitely something that I thought! But I am going to check out all of the sites that you have all suggested and hopefully get myself back on track. Thanks…

I currently see my food therapist and she told me to eat 1200 calories at day to lose weight and NOT to eat back calories from exercise. I haven't seen my nutritionist in a while so we can "discount" her but still... very confusing.

I included the BMR that MFP calculated for me - that has me at 1643. I compared that to the rest of the BMR calculators that I found on the net and did averages. But based on 1643 (-500 to lose weight) my calorie goal should be 1143 not 1200... That's not counting 750 calories I burn a day.

Ah! See! Some of you are telling me not to focus on BMR then others are saying that I should. Still really don't know what to do. Can't tell whether I should eat more or eat less! Well something isn't working... I just hope that I can stay motivated to keep doing this when I'm not seeing any results.

I've been researching and some sites namely - www.muscleandstrength.com, www.bmrcalculator.net, www.walking.about.com, and www.caloriesperhour.com had fluctuating results in their BMR calculators based on your activity level. That is why I have included these. Even if I just base if on MFP's calculations my BMR is 1643…

Always looking for new buds on here. Add me :)

I guess no one counts calories burned from sex.... must be why its not in the database.

I know how you feel... My food therapist tells me to try and think about how I am going to feel after the binge... sometimes that helps. Regardless, stay strong.

Sweet! Thanks... I think I might just got for it. I see those damn infomercials EVERY morning! In fact I use it as motivation when I'm o the elliptical! LOL

Thanks everyone! I've decided to make a fruit smoothie with spinach and non fat yogurt. It hits my calorie mark without any fat. But you all made important points about fat. I certainly had "good" fats today but I'd love to try and not go over any more. I've been sticking to my calorie limits very strictly and I haven't…

Oh.. I have no idea! I'm still kinda learning this system... how do I check that?

CONGRATS! How long did it take you? I'm about the same height and weight as you were when you started, so that would be great motivation!

Damn! WTG! Great job! I've really been wanting to do Insanity, but I live in a coop with a cranky downstairs neighbor. Do you think that I'd be able to do it without really disrupting him?

Flipping fab! Did you keep to one specific method? What did you do for exercise!? Congrats tho! What great accomplishment and inspiring story!

Thanks everyone again! I really appreciate the insight and motivation! I know it seems like I'm being impatient, but I've only actually used MFP for a week, been working at losing weight seriously for a year. Been to see Nutritionist and am currently seeing a Food Therapist! I know not to focus on the scale but I guess I'm…

Thanks everyone! I guess that it could be muscle gain - but its only 30mins more of cardio than I was already doing... I was paying more attention to food. My goal calories is 1200/day, but with the exercise it can add up to 750 additional calories. Most days I will try to eat those extra calories, there was 2 days this…

Hey! I just tried it and it worked...hmmm you put the # of minutes. :smile:
