Thank you all very much! I really appreciate your input!

Sorry, I should clarify...my TDEE is 1800--2000 (according to my Fitbit), so I'm eating 1300-1500....

I've been having a similar problem, so I was glad to see this! People are saying to "Check your gait." How does one do that? Thanks!

That's great! I had very similar feelings at first, and I still do, even at a month+ ! I'm so glad that you are feeling better, and better about yourself!

@patovader- 29 and your hair

@pretty-22 and great lips!

@krizzo87- yes! Beautiful eyes!

Okay, so don't get mad at me, (lol) but as a relative newbie, what IS the deal with EM2WL? I've been looking at their stuff, and some of it makes sense, but I don't know enough about the science of exercise and nutrition to really know what's what.

Congrats!! That's great!

...get my 10,000 steps in!!!

Love potatoes, too! Try baked potatoes with black beans, a little cheese, sautéed onions, and a smidge of sour cream to have a more balanced version for dinner.

I'm anaphylacticly allergic to eggplant, bell peppers, tomatillos, and, of all things, oregano. As you might imagine, these allergies make it very difficult to eat Mexican, Italian, or Mediterranean! The bigger question: how do you handle ordering at a restaurant? I get tired of doing my verbal spiel, and I'm starting to…

Sir Galahad-the-Chaste: "Well...I could stay a BIT longer..." :)

I think it's starting to sink in! :)

Yay! I'll have plenty of ideas for dinner for awhile! Thanks, you guys!

Yum! Thank you all for the suggestions!

Yes, indeed! Most soft, chèvre-style goat cheese is only 50 calories per ounce, which is a lot lower than other cheeses! Yum!

You all convinced me! I ordered it this morning! Thank you all for your help!

I've been on MFP for less than a month, but even - I - have learned that: TDEE is the end all-be all. TDEE is BS. Calories in/calories out works fine. Calories in/calories out is a myth. Sugar is the same on a molecular level, whether from fruit or candy. BE QUIET BECAUSE YOU OBVIOUSLY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT SCIENCE OR…

Hi, dpsharp67! In looking at your diary, I strongly suspect that you are not eating enough calories. I'm not sure what your height and weight are, but I really suggest reading this topic below, and read what helloitsdan has to say about it. Also, use the calculators online to get your BMR, TDEE, etc. Basically, you usually…

If you want a good laugh for the day, Google "Whose line is it anyway" and "Richard Simmons" and watch the You Tube video from when he visited the hilarious improv show. (It's the one where he is wearing a blue tank top.) Richard was a long time fan of the show, and they all had a really good time. It's mildly naughty, so…

Deb, I've been having the exact same problem all week. :( I hope you feel better soon, and go ahead and eat what your stomach says it might tolerate, even if it's weird, or not the best "diet" choice. Hang in there!

Thanks! They do have a pool, and I've tried water aerobics before, though not in a while. Sahri, I'm not sure if I'm using it correctly, since it always seems like I'm crouching, and the pedals are too high, or something...

A member of my staff once called me "The Comma Queen" due to my habit of adding missing commas into our press releases etc. and sent me a whole e-mail full of nothing but pages of commas saying "Surely you must have run out of them by now!" and as you can see I have. :) (Okay, that was almost physically painful to write,…

Thank you so much!

Bump Bumpity Bump Bump! Thank you all for the ideas! I'm not fond of salad, so hopefully some of these will inspire me to eat more of them! :)

Thanks, everybody! It's going to be great getting to know you, and great helping to support each other!
