Not only does the weight off of you look good, you also look so healthy and fit. Awesome!!! Congrats!

I only burned 300 + calories. And oh how I can relate with you. The healthy food is so NEVER EVER filling. If ate meat, then that would be different. I have to stay away from carbs too (bad ones) - they are trigger foods for me. I'm normally a salty eater but one little chocolate kiss can trigger me into a Dairy Queen…

THANK YOU!!! I don't eat meat so that sounds great. Today I went and bought a dang 1/2 gallon of skim milk. Shoot! What's your thought on the deficit?

okay, I guess I'm tired right now, but caloric deficit? It's like 900 right now since I worked out. No way I can eat that. Even with a protein shake with fiber.

My body was in starvation mode and then once night time came, I was so hungry I ate JUNK!!!!

Just adding my layout: Week # 1 -- April 1st -- Goal 180 minutes: Mon: Tue: Wed: Thur: Fri: Sat: Sun: Total / min left: 0 / 180

Good Carbs! :)

I have to agree completely with the below statement AND many years in the legal field working with Father's Rights Law, I see this as total projection behavior. Let's hope the negative is not projected onto the kids. Stay true to yourself, never talk down about yourself or your ex to anyone or your children and you will…

I'm in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is exactly what I am doing. Not for medical reasons but for health reasons while I'm on my journey to losing and getting fit. My downfall are carbs (bread, chips, Gigi's Cupcakes - all trigger foods). I am taking in those carbs:fiber! The protein is killing me though....I'm trying to keep protein up and having to add…

I know, that's why it's so awesome to have the support of others on this site. :)

I'm going by carbs/sugar - keeping sugar low even through fruit. I don't touch sweets or bread. I take in fiber through protein shakes that I add to.

Thanks for the info!

Thanks - totally agree. Will burning up calories allow for more carbs???

I worked with an attorney that went on WW and lost over 100 pounds - sadly his meals were limited to one a day - he loved getting McDonald's Big Mac. Okay, something so very wrong with this entire picture as this goes against everything in the MFP and healthy living world.

Exactly what I needed to know. Thanks!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry, I meant 20% or my daily intake is from carbs. So, can we go over that as long as they are good carbs???

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats!

I so agree! Thank you.

Perfectly written. Muscle weighs more then fat. Thank you so much on pointing this out.

I have been studying this for a month now. I agree 100% and am beginning to understand. In fact, my best friend was shocked that I wanted to lose 80 pounds. I don't look 80 pounds over weight. But, that's what the scale reads. I personally want to lose inches/sizes and tone up while doing so. THAT is my focus. Now I'm told…

Yes, I do know that. Which is what I was trying to explain earlier in my post. Bare with me, I'm learning.

Thank you all. I read over each one of your comments, met with a trainer at the gym and he explained it all in detail to me. The machines do not calculate correctly (the one for cardio I use) which is why I was getting such a significant difference from MFP. Also, spoke to my nutritionist and I need to up my caloric intake…

Congrats!! On every bit of your awesome accomplishments. A true testimony for many others!!!!!!

This is what I was told today!

Of course they entered through the mouth. At night, hungry as heck and eating all the wrong stuff.

According to My Fitness Pal yes. I plug in my workout for the day and the calories burned come to approximately 1200. That's sick. Now, the machines are different at the gym, the machines read about 350...max.

So are you saying that if I am set at 1200, (to lose weight/inches), I only eat 800 calories, work out, burn 400, that's a 400 deficit and I should not eat 800 more calories (assuming all caloric intake is healthy eating?) I'm confused.

Well, I became sick on Christmas Day - yep, bedridden sick. Not sure if it's the flu. Today, feeling better but have one thing on my mind. I want to go work out!!!!! I want to eat a salad!!!! I feeling a bit "dark blue" today. The weather doesn't help either. Snow Blizzard on the way! Ugg
