i think you're good as long as you don't live your entire diet by that rule. :) get well soon to your fiancee!

wow, all that ketosis talk is very interesting! ive always been anti anti-carb diets because carbs is where you get your energy from and i love them, etc. etc. but that is very interesting stuff, makes me want to get rid of them for a few days and see what happens! with green tea and caffeine, i have heard that green tea…

i had the paraguard IUD for about 4-5 years because i cannot take birth control pills, the hormones made me crazy! i hate them! so i got the non-hormonal IUD and not to scare you, but the insertion was one of the single most painful experiences of my life, and i've had quite a few broken bones, torn ligaments, surgeries,…

hey guys, i have seen in some of yalls profile pictures the images of a womans body and how it changes as you lose weight. I want one! where can i get it? thanks!

yeah...ill give it a go. the problem is i gain weight really easily as well. so if i eat an extra couple hundred cals, it usually shows immediately. but we shall see. i think i might have gotten over the hump, but who knows. :)

thats what the site told me to eat! 1200!

thank you! yeah, the sports thing is hard. it would take me all day to post my specifics... my daily caloric intake goal is 1200. during the week i am right around 1200, after you count everything ive eaten and subtracted the calories i have burned through exercise. i usually burn anywhere from 600-1000 calories during one…

thanks guys, i appreciate it. you have deterred me from taking any pills, thanks! the problem is that i have played soccer since i was 3, i played on a scholarship to a division one school, and have played so much that i have destroyed all the ligaments in my ankles, and can no longer play without surgery. im working on…

I feel like I need a swift kick in the behind...I'm contemplating using something like hydroxycut or alli to push my weight loss to the next level. However, hydroxycut will make me jittery and probably cause insomnia, and alli is apparently recommended for people who are "overweight" on the BMI scale, which I am not. I…

wow, you guys are all amazing and thank you so much for your comments. yall definitely picked me back up! i wont beat myself up as much as i have been when i have a "bad" day, and instead embrace it and work with it. you're right, i need to log in when i am bad otherwise the site may be useless. and the waves/lapses…

oh! sorry i stopped and started my post so many times i forgot something! maybe try the elliptical machine at the gym? treadmills can be soooo hard on the body, something less weight-bearing would be better for you. i have to do the same, i have terrible knees and ankles. good luck!

hey janis! somehow i found your post, and had to comment. please hang in there! you're doing so great! i hate that feeling, that feeling of not wanting to weigh yourself and feeling so low about the whole thing. It's horrible and i get so terribly depressed. And when I feel like that it's so hard to get out of. I feel like…

i haven't been a very good girl lately. i haven't logged anything for probably 10 days because i know i wasn't on track. and it made me feel really guilty and i know i have probably gained a few pounds back. i hate road blocks! i know i can do this... so... why aren't i doing it! im upset with myself.

podcasts are the best for me because they're over an hour long and i dont keep time in my head as much. grooveelectric and podrunner are two of my favorites. anything with strong beats/mixes are good for me.

thanks for the posts guys! :)

Well, I have to admit, I have never been a fan of counting calories, but mostly because back in the day, you had to write on a piece of paper everything you ate, then try to look up its calories, etc. etc. and it was just too much of a pain in the rear to deal with. This site, MyFitnessPal.com, really makes it so easy for…

i would do mini meals as well, but within reason. if you're not hungry, listen to your body, but you should also try to train yourself to be eating throughout the day instead of all at once in the evening. good luck, good question!

i usually listen to podcasts because they are over an hour long. then i dont get distracted with four or five minute,separate songs. my favorites are groovelectric (funkdatbreak is one of my faves) and podrunner (afterburn is one in particular i love).

i would do your cardio first. strength training is important, but aeorbic activity is what you're going to need more of. for me, it is much more important to make sure i get in the good cardio workout that i need. if i do weights first, you tire your muscles and can't get to the level you need to be at when doing your…

Well, I'm new so I thought I would say hi. I've always hated counting my calories in the past, but for some reason this time, I'm excited about it. It's only been a full 24 hours so far, but it's going very well! Good luck to everyone out there that has taken the step to get on myfitnesspa. The first steps are the hardest,…
