I'll join you too. I completely stopped monitoring everything I ate. I'm starting a new job on 11/18 and its time to get myself back in shape.

Yep it is. My son graduated in 2011 from Canisius College. Boy I hope it warms up, its still chilly outside

I do have a question and hope someone can please answer this. This week Im going to up my calories to 1300/day. If I exercise at the gym and burn say 250 calories, that makes it a total of 1550 calories for that day. Should I be eating all my daily calories including the ones I burn at the gym too? Thanks..

1200 calories was originally set because I have a desk job and really didnt exercise AT ALL. Now my husband and I have joined a gym and we go about 3x a week. I agree with everyone saying that my body is used to what I'm doing and its like its not a challenge anymore. I was never a big exercise person but I'm going to try…

thats the mode I use now on the treadmill.

thanks everyone for your responses. For this week I will eat 1300/day and see what happens...Appreciate the help..:smile:

I'll try that thank you...

almost 3 weeks now.

How many more calories do you think I should eat each day?

Im also eating every couple hours to keep my body burning calories (read about this)

I eat 1200 calories/day. I've started drinking more water each day hoping that will help. I belong to a gym so I do a treadmill (cant use an elipitocal I have bad knees ), then I do some stomach crunches and lifting weights with my legs. I work out about 3x a week. I do eat carbs, for breakfast I eat bagel thins with light…

I have lost a total of 18 lbs but its coming off slowly. I have a very slow metabolism. I've been using the treadmill and having it incline so after about 1/2 hour I burn about 200 calories. I've been stuck and not losing weight for a good couple of weeks now. Any suggestions to get these pounds off, its like my body…

Help please...yes I'm a carb eater and I'm staying within my daily calories and sometimes exercising..When i exercise I try to make sure that I eat a little more..My weight wont drop pass a certain weight...It keeps juggling between 1 point.....How do I get this going again for me? Thanks

yes I am adding in the exercise. That's whats been happening...I add in the exercise and it says that I'm not going to lose as fast as I would if I didnt exercise....Sorry but I don't get it. Is it because the website figures I'm gaining muscle.

HI. Im new to this website and its really working for me. However, I dont understand this...Im on a 1200 calories a day diet and sometimes I might eat a little over. I've been exercising and I always exercise enough to make sure I burned off the calories. When I click on the done for the day tab, it seems that the more…
