I can relate to what you are saying and how you are feeling....because I would do well all day, then binge at night. What helped me was eating more during the day....and working out at night. That is what helps for me because by the time I work out and shower, I am ready to go to bed. I do not WANT to eat anything else…

Such a motivating story!! Thank you!!!!

Yeah I can wear anywhere from a 16-22 depending on the store. I got a lot of junk in my trunk lol

wow how tall are you? I weigh around that much and I'm waaaaayyyyy bigger than you are!!!! Good ****!!!!! I'm 5'7"

one day at a time!!!! it's about constantly looking at your diet and reevaluating it to see if changes are needed.

Yesterday I ate a value meal, a milk shake, chips and salsa. All under my calorie goal. Scale went up 3lbs....go figure.

I am realizing this very thing now and how to incorporate more calorie dense healthy foods like salmon, olive oil, peanut butter, butter, etc. and hope I can see better results in the long run because I think I was messing with my metabolism only eating 1400 calories and then burning 400 in return. So I am trying to eat…

Yeah I do find it hard to eat so much at times....my TDEE is like 2800, but cut it 20% it is 2200 calories. I still don't that much but what I have been doing is starting to eat my calories back from exercise as instructed on this site. I will see how that works by the end of the week. I did lose 4.8lbs the first week,…

I realize you don't want sympathy; however, you WILL get my prayers!!!! I hope all works out with you!!! I'm sure it will :)

I have a date witg Shaun T tonight!!!! I can't wake up early and work out. I am no good and end up )being tired. I prefer working out after I put my son to bed. It's a part of my me time now!!!! Then I take a shower and relax until I fall asleep!!!!

Oh I do have the Polar FT4 on my wish list on amazon!!!! That is the one I picked out!!!! Okay, glad to hear some people really like it. You can get it on Amazon.com for about 65 bucks

Why would we have to get one with a chest strap?

Wow this got REAL deep lol Well, when I first started MFP, based on my goals of losing 1lb a week and exercising 3/x a week for 30 minutes, they set my calorie goal at 1830. I thought that was a bit too high, so I changed my goals to lose 2lb a week....well, that is when they set my calorie goal at 1230-too low!!!!! I like…

Get a nutribullet and start extracting!!!! You take 2 cups of leafy greens, about 2 cups of fresh fruit, 2-4 tablespoons of protein (raw seed and nuts) add water and you have a healthy concoction that to me tastes better than a protein drink, is all natural, and is about 250-300 calories....plus alot of people with your…

I ate 397 calories over my goal yesterday....and I felt a LITTLE guilty.....but I really wanted those pop tarts!!!! And I was under calorie goal all this week....plus I look at it like this-in the past...I could easily down 5-6 pop tarts and I stopped at 2!!!! That progress :) You went 400 calories over.....just think of…

Thanks!!!! I have been eating a range of 1300-1800 calories/day and I have seen a little weight loss....but not really an aggressive one....I have been working out 6x/week so I calculated that and it calculated to be 2300 calories to lose weight....that just seems like a whole lot!!!! As opposed to MFP calculates my eating…

Can you calculate mine for me? I tried to calculate mine, and it said my BMR was over 3,400 calories to maintain my current weight, and to lose I shouldn't reduce it to no more than 1,000 calories....which still puts me at 2400 calories a day!!!! I am not comfortable with eating that much!!!! Maybe I did something…

Funny thread lol I guess there are some blessing in being single lol Seriously....my son is 3 years old and unlike me, he is actually on the smaller side of normal!!!! His pediatrician does not look at the charts though....as long as his growth is steady then that's all that matters to him!!!! Now when I was growing up...I…

Well said both you you!!!! I used to be like that...thinking that it's going to take such andsuch amount of time to lose the weight and when it doesn't happen....give up!!! I decided to take the approach that it took me 5-6 years to gain all that weight, so if it takes me a year to do it...that is still only a fraction of…

I try to break my food down this way according to what I am learning and it is a work in progress. 3 servings of lean dairy (skim milk, greek yogurt, hard cheeses) At least 2 servings of fresh fruit At least 3 servings of fresh or frozen veggies 6-8oz of lean protein (chicken, fish, turkey, sirloin, peanut butter, raw nuts…

Great job!!!! I just sent an add request!!!!

From what I understand, clean food are food that are mostly raw and organic. Pretty much anything you find in a health food grocery store.

I just started nutrient extracting my breakfasts with a nutribullet....I am not big on breakfast so that works for me...I just add 2 cups of leafy greens, 2 cups of fruit of any kind, and 2 tbs of either raw nuts or raw seed....add water and blend!!!! For lunch, I don't cook. I was just eating like a can of tuna with some…

Thanks that is something to use until I am able to get HRM!!!!

I'm not going to lie. I weigh in everyday...sometimes 2-3x a day....I'm obsessed lol But at least I know what my ups and downs are....I only record Fridays. In addition to measurements taken every week or 2, I also took pictures from Day one....and will be doing so every 30 days. That is to me where you see most results…

Yeah what everybody else said....just not used to you being so small that's all....

It starts with you!!!! Nothing to it but to do it!!!!

Yeah, basically I work out soon as I put my 3yo son to sleep at night, around 9pm...sometimes I will let him have the TV and I do my workouts in the dining room off my laptop. A lot of days, yes I am tired...but like she said, I just suck it up....I start to look at exercise as my "me time" I used to spend the two hours…

I don't know if you cook or not....but you eat an awful lot of processed food and that can't be good at all. I rarely make my calorie goal....I eat anywhere around 1300-1800 calories a day and this is how I break it down. I make sure I eat 3 servings of dairy-That's 300-400 calories right there between skim milk, yogurt,…

So true!!!! I had to be honest with myself...I used to cry about how hard it was, and I couldn't lose weight...but guess what?! I was in so much denial lol I would eat the calories alloted for the day and then binge at night....I make sure I hold myself accountable for EVERYTHING!!!!! I recommend using MFP's calculations…
