If you are looking for high calories burned for the time investment, jogging isn't too bad. Programs like p90x and insanity can burn between 400 to 800 cals / hour. Just regular sports like basketball, soccer or volleyball are pretty good too considering you do them for an hour at least. Use the exercise calculator. When I…

I don't think diet sodas are horrible for you (internet reports on aspartame aside), but I my body has never felt better after drinking one. The taste may be nice, but it always feels like a drag on me to process it. That aside, I have never heard any reports that the ingredients in diet soda cause weight gain. I have only…

It's all about the caloric math and creating your system. Then you just have to follow it. You have about 24 weeks between now and then and about 40 lbs to lose. that averages 1.67 lbs per week. That is definately doable. I would use the tools on this site to find your basal metabolic caloric rate. Then I would select a…

I am a little puzzled at how you can eat so little calories on junk food. Fast food/junk food inherently has high caloric values from processed carbs to low quality meats. I would encourage you to do your calorie math again. Assuming your math is right, you must be eating super small amounts on a daily basis, because one…

Save enough calories for the afternoon and dinner times and plan ahead. If you know that is your hour of temptation, leave enough calories in your day for a late day snack, dinner and a post dinner snack. Make your snacks fruit and veggies. They don't add much calories, but can feel like alot in your stomach. An apple and…

Agree with jackie here. The scale is a fickle friend. Water weight is only a factor if you are not drinking enough. Regiment your water just like your food. As long as you are staying close to your calorie numbers and exercising, then don't worry about losing too fast. Trust the math and let the lbs take care of…

If you are just maintaining, would find out what your basal metabolic burn rate is and set your net goal as 2-300 cals below that. That means your total cals with exercise factored out and planning in some exercise will help to add muscle where you want it. If you want to still lose, that make your net cals 3-600 below…

Don't get too down about things you don't control...weight, and focus on what you do control...what you eat and daily exercise. Let the weight loss just happen. That's why some people are more successful with one weigh in per week or month.

Weight does fluctuate throughout the day, but that is due to eating/drinking weight in and sweating/potty breaks out. If I am reading your issue correctly, you are saying that your weight went up 7 lbs in 90 minutes of napping. That is not normal and most likely impossible, especially if you weren't eating or drinking…

I like protein too...2 poaches eggs over a piece of toast. = < 200 cals.
