Pre log, weigh individually. Don't need to weigh eggs, just go by size. I don't log spray oil which I use instead of butter.

As hard as it is to find something on the menu at places with big calorie menu items, it is much preferred to the places with no nutritional info available! More frustrating

Logging and jogging should work. I lose weight if I log and do regular exercise. I maintain if I can't work out but log food. I gain if I don't work out regularly and don't log what I eat. I want to lose 15.

Ummm. I am not a doctor but I am old enough to know if an exercise causes pain not soreness you need to quit it for a while. And go back cautiously. Regardless of why it hurts you.

Calories consumed and burned. Food is food, it all gives calories. Exercise burns calories. Why myfitnesspal works. Being seriously overweight is of itself the cause of a lot of health problems. Lose the weight the way you can, and just monitor your stats and general health as you go. Anybody losing serious weight should…

Adding Mushrooms and Water Chestnuts to my HATE list. Though I must say, the RIGHT mushroom, cooked the RIGHT way, still makes me gag. :-)

It's probably fine, but call or see your doctor anyway. It's one of those things where the most likely story is benign and probably accurate, but you should rule out pregnancy and anything serious. Cramping and heavy bleeding were the only signs I had when pregnant with my second daughter, when I thought the odds were…

This is why I really like - laughing cow cheese wedges instead of normal cream cheese - a wedge is a wedge, you use it and that's the calories. - hot pocket breakfasts - one pocket, one breakfast - McDonald's happy meals with a hamburger, apple slices and diet coke. the calories are the calories.

It is actually working really well if you look at it a week at a time. There are the days they eat nothing but veggies and the days they eat only protein and the days they eat only carbs. They are healthy and their BMIs are lean but the doctor has never worried about their weight. They eat sweets but not to excess. The…

I think a lot of you would find fault with how I let my kids eat. My main goal is to make food not a big deal, and not have drama that will show up in unhealthy food habits later in life, when they are grown. So I buy a lot of fruit and veggies, stock the house with lean meats and lean dairy, and also a variety of breads…

I've had spotting after exercise just whenever my cycles have gotten out of whack for one reason or another - and also when I was pregnant (and didn't know it). I just did a quick search and apparently 143 women in 10,000 get pregnant after a tubal ligation....That's a 1.43% chance. After having a daughter with two…

It sounds like the body fat number is what has you most concerned. I'd recommend picking up a cheap caliper and body measuring tape for measuring your own body fat, so you can first see if the reading at the gym was just off - they can be - and if not and you want to take the fat % down you can measure your own progress.…

Another use for egg yolks - when you make sugar cookies, mix yolks with food coloring (yes, the yolks) and let the kids use it as paint before cooking. It actually works pretty well.

I keep a bag of milk chocolate Hershey's Kisses in the emergency cupboard for those times when I just need some chocolate. They are under 25 calories each, so if you just have one (and eat it slow) when you really want chocolate, it's not going to break any diet. To get to 400 like a muffin you could have 18! On a bad day…

Whether it is true or not, I like to believe the article I read once that said your metabolism actually increases then and so while you seem to be stalling it's just water retention, and after it'll come right off quickly. And eating a little extra then is ok because of the higher metabolism. That's my story and I'm…

I'm going to assume the extreme - that the area and food aren't that safe. Working out in the hotel room, you can do crunches or situps, pushups, shot in the arm presses, dips using the bed, mountain climbers, lunges, prisoner squats...jumping jacks, running in place...stairs are a good option if the hotel is safe inside.…

Seems strange that you are gaining...my money is on the nuva ring. Hormones can do it. If you can switch to a minipill you might be better off??

Here's an honest and easy rule of thumb. If you are eating more protein than your body can use, you will pass a LOT of gas. If not, don't worry about it.

I've been trying the fasted cardio thing (search online if you're interested), but only because I stalled out for 4 weeks on a diet of 1200 calories with exercise 45 minutes 4-6 times a week. It worked and kicked me into loss mode again, without dropping the total calorie intake or increasing the exercise. I think it is…

If you want to take baby steps and start seeing some results, here are some suggestions. Your Mountain Dew withdrawal headaches are likely caffeine withdrawal. You can probably get the same level of caffeine with diet Mountain Dew, and your taste buds will adjust after a few days. It really depends on where you are in your…
