I think you just change the Macronutrients each day and don't worry about criticisms from people who think you need to eat less when they are starving their body.

I am sure this has been said, but since I dont have time to read 15 pages of posts, this is what came to my mind. You are looking at people's post from your point of view. Grace says we give people the room and time to grow. And an understanding of addictions is necessary. Anything can control us. If you look into your own…

I have done several months of it and always put it under high intensity cardio. It doesn't matter if the calorie burn is off for me. I don't eat back my exercise calories. I lost weight while doing it too because I was eating enough calories. Don't jip yourself. Its hard on your body. And don't be suprised if you don't…

and do this!!

Find out your BMR and TDEE. You may be eating too little. Salt intake is a big water inducer too. I used to weigh myself everyday and it was extremely disheartening. So I only do it once per week now. You can find more about BMR and TDEE by putting these items in the search engine. You will get lots of information. My…

Skinnytaste.com has several recipes for Cauliflower!!! All real yummy!

I have 3 kids. They are 14 months, 32months, and 44 months. The ;youngest is our only boy. I also babysit for a 6month old and a 4 year old three days per week. Our house is pretty busy!

This!!! :smile:

I don't rinse mine and it doesn't taste bad to me. Sorry you had a bad reaction but i haven't EVER rinsed it and eat it all the time!

I am set to light active here and I believe I did sedentary on the TDEE calculator.

you don't have to rinse it. It just depends on what you decide. I live gluten free and eat Quinoa all the time. I never rinse it!!! :) BTW there is a thread on here somewhere that has TOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNSSSSSSSSSSSS of recipes. I am sure if you searched you could find it!

654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12 This is where I went to find my TDEE. I Followed this guys information to a T. I log exersize into MFP after I have completed it.

I just took two weeks off because my knee was hurting quite a bit. And I had a pinched nerve in my back. It is feeling better and I am restarting the fourth week before I hit the second month cuz it's crazy!!!!

add one more

Bump Again!!! Good Stuff. Finally finding out what I am having questions about!

Ok so I am wondering what your TDEE is? I have my total daily calories set at 1700 and something. That is my BMR. I usually net less than that and have lost weight. Is this correct? or not? I should also add that I only eat less than my BMR on days when I exersize. I dont eat it all back.

Bump...This and the previous thread to it are interesting to me. I was eating a minimum of 1800 calories per day and excersizing and losing a minimum of one pound per day and then quit nursing and lowered my calories. I continued to exersize (Insanity) daily and lost very little or little pockets of weight until I lost…

Thanks I appreciate that information. I will check into finding out what mine is and then try this.

My goal calories is much more than 1200. To loose 1 pound a week I am to eat 1840. To loose 1 1/2 pounds I am to eat 1500. To loose 2 pounds 1310. I was setting my goals at 2 pounds and that is when I stalled. I believe it is because I netted below 1200. When I was nursing I netted 1500 plus the nursing calories that don't…

So glad you posted on this topic because I was wondering as well. So if I am doing Insanity every day and not loosing it is because I am not eating a net that is where I need to. Most days my net puts me below 1,000. Which means I am not loosing because my body is probably in starvation mode? Also really I don't need to…

My friend who lost a ton of weight on here told me that people usually dont see much a difference until you hit about 20. About 10 you notice. I have told people. Especially when they comment on my looks. Many people know I am engaged in this journey. I think that community is important and if people know then it holds me…

I eat some of them back, not more than half because I am not sure the calories MFP says I burn is accurate!

Go to the Zumba site and you can find a calculator. You imput your weight, height, and intensity level and it will tell you how many calories you burn. Each class depends upon the instructor. I have been to four different ones and each were different. My current one incorporates insanity into the routine along with the…

I was on topomax several years ago. Don't remember the dosage but it was to help with depression. Only I became more depressed....I quit interacting with people and got more depressed sleeping every chance I got. I did have some weight loss. But that could have been a result of the depression. Within a short amount of time…

Anything CUTCO!!!

For two weeks I have gained and lost the same four pounds because I wasn't careful over the weekend. And that is with burning 1227 calories for working out during the week on two individual days and about 500 on the other three individual days. that equals over 3,000 extra calories that I don't even use. I think it depends…

I agree with this. I am a mother of a 3,2, and 9 month old. Two days per week I babysit another 3 year old and a 7 week old. I say Kudos to single moms!!!! My friend lost tons of weight on here just following the calorie deficit (she has 6 kids and her opportunities to exercise were minimal). Having said this you may be a…

My Advice: Push through it. If its a new thing for you then your going to be sore. After doing this repeatedly for awhile you will adjust!!!

IT makes alot per that 1/4 cup cooked and mixed with stuff you have more servings so the calories are not that bad.

Bump!
