Amsterdam! Rain and more rain, and cold! 37 degrees

Protein powder in a shaker type of cup, add water later. Apple, and other kind of fruit, grapes, apricots, orange. Some type of protein bar. I work as a nurse, so eat on the run more or less.

Thank you for sharing and your blood work looks amazing!! Way to go.

Hi there! I live in the Netherlands too! Great you ride your bike! I hope you find a gym you like. Who knows maybe there will be some fun classes you can be a part off. I wouldn't worry about anyone else there. They are all busy worrying about themselves. ;)

I am 5 ft 4 and need to lose another 14 pounds or so. I did the 1200 cal diet for years (like 20) and would lose 3 pounds and gain 4 and lose 3....went to the gym 4x a week and worked 3 12 hr shifts as an RN, on my feet the whole shift. So. I finally just bought a fitbit, walk about 10 to 15 thousand steps a day and eat…

Weigh all your food. I don't think you are eating enough.

Every day, 1 tall with whole milk, no sugar. Awesome

I think that is difficult when you start feeing constraint by your calories. Can you increase you excersise so you can eat a little more? I eat a lot of fruit and tomatoes en red peppers and cucumbers since they are all lower in calories. And a kind of greel yogurt with protein powder added to it and that is filing and…

Amazing! You all look great!

Feel free to add me, my diary is open to friends. I log every day.

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1080242-a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants You might want to read this excellent post ^^ 1000 calories net consumed a day is not enough, in my opinion, and you probably don't have enought to lose to expect to lose at 1 pound a week. Eat part of your excersise…

Thank you! I have finally stepped away from the 1200 calories and not eating back excercise calories...and surprise! I am losing weight and feeling so much better It only took like 20 years...

I have the Fitbit zip, syncs with MFP. I love it

Do this, and look in the search box on here for a post called "on the road to my sexy pants" and look on ScoobyDoo (google) and calculate your BMR and your TDEE and eat enough. Low calorie diets don't work, I have been on one for years. And really it won't work and is not sustainable. Eat food. Eat mostly healthy food. Go…

Don't eat 800 calories. That does not help

I have a fitbit and love it

You answered your own question! Increase your calories to TDEE subtract something reasonable, like 10 or 20% and hoppa! I am speaking from experience, I did VLC diets for years and would lose a little and get stuck and now I am eating (what a concept) my excersise calories back, and have lost weight, I have it set to lose…

Have you recalculated your BMR, TDEE? There is a scoobydoo calculator, or haybales has an awesome spreadsheet to figure out data.

Wow! Congratulations on your great success and really good about your A1C!

Hi there ~ You might want to make your own smoothie and use fesh fruit, vegs, and protein powder, and water or milk or whatever liquid. I think the smoothie you currently use does not have a lot of calories and 9 grams of protein is not a lot. If you are hungry, eat something!

Hahaha!

Hi there! Feel free to add me. I live in the Netherlands :) en er zijn nog een paar. Nederlanders op mijn newsfeed

Just turn off the sugar tracker on MFP. Fruit has fiber. Which is good. And fructose. Doesn't matter.

I just bought a FitBit zip and I love it. Syncs walking, running, with MFP. Awesome

I joined a running class recently. I had done other types of excercise but nver running. There is a trainer, and other people so everyone can encourage each other. I like it a lot. I think the c25k app is really good too.

I started 3 weeks ago, I am 48. Am currently running 6K and working up to something more eventually. Started slow and am still slow, but I love it.

Really? Perhaps following MFP recommendations and eating would be a good idea.

I ate around 1200 calories for a lot of years and did not eat my exercise calories back either. This is a very bad idea. Sure you lose weight initially and then hover around the same weight, up 0.5 pounds down 1.0 pound and so forth. It becomes extremely frustrating, so then I tended to just quit for a while and start the…
