Same! I am always over sugars as well - while I want to try and have a healthy intake of sugar, I can't really justify having no fruit. There doesn't seem to be a good solution to this that I have heard, so I just try and make it so my sugar is primarily coming from fruit, and limit sugars from other foods (breads, baked…

I was just thinking of a similar thing the other day... I am always low on potassium... Maybe get around 15% of the recommended amount a day. Does it actually matter a whole lot? And on a side note, the majority of the foods I am entering do show potassium levels, so I don't feel like the low numbers are due to no…

Just out of curiosity, have you not been eating as much this last week (give or take some) or just not been able to write it all down? I had to go back a ways to find your "1200+" days.

You eat all the day's calories in one sitting? If it works for you I guess... Personally, if I could only eat at one time in the day I would look like a T-Rex at an all you can eat buffet and eat anything and everything within sight, food or non food. I would get sooo hungry. And then I would overeat and be over my…

She sanded, she painted, she varnished.

I usually averaged around 12,000 steps just through work, and didn't count home time or gym time. This thread is making me realize my work is more active then I knew lol! Good job everybody!

You can Google search natural depressant remedies. I use something called 5-HTP that I got at Costco. I feel like it is working. I also am taking a multi-vitamin, magnesium, vitamin D, and calcium when I remember... So much of it is also a mindset, and this helps take the edge off so I can have a better mindset. This is…

Depending on where you live you could see if there is a dance studio that teaches classes - I know in the larger city a bit away from where I am there are several types of classes in that category. They might be a better source for your questions, or even to ask if there are certain filmed classes you could watch and do on…

Been there, still doing that! I usually try and have cracker/peanut butter sandwiches or a Strech Island fruit leather instead... I have admitted that yes, I do need a snack then, I just try and have something that actually fills me and makes me feel better instead of crashing twenty minutes later again... Maybe just try…

Some one will tell you it doesn't matter what you eat, it is all about having a deficit. Some one will tell you it does matter what you eat - eat cleanly, eat lean proteins, good fats, unprocessed stuff. Some one will tell you its all about cardio. Some one will tell you to lift weights and do resistance training. That…

Yup... he is on a four month on/ three week off rotation... which is better then the three month/ three day rotation he was on... In Washington, he is in Alaska. There is actually internet most the time now, and a land line, so I can hear from him more often now, when he was on a boat there was only one very expensive…

I grew up around Seattle, and lived in Kentucky a bit for college. Agreed with the others - its more the gray/drizzle not so much constant rain. There are also many many different kinds of rain... If its not wet right now, it probably will be at some point. And yes, sunbreaks totally exist. You get sun, for maybe fifteen…

Unless you are eating things you aren't logging... I wouldn't exactly call a dinner of 135 calories over eating... but that's me. The few days you have logged, you haven't gone over your total. So if you aren't logging everything, that would be a good start... Not too sure why you are having such small dinners. But, back…

On this website they outline sedentary being up to 3,000 steps a day. It sounds like you are on your way to being more active! Perhaps if you maintain 6500 or more choose the lightly active or moderately active setting? In my mind, active would be walking over the 10000 steps they recommend every day, or doing some sort of…

I was under the impression that as a general statement, everyone can leg press atleast their own body weight - you can walk and jump. Perhaps I have the wrong impression on this? Maybe have some one check out your form. I am not way tall, 5'6" and can do around 200 (which isn't even that great, but fifty pound more than I…

Hey, I was also recently told I was Vitamin D deficient... not terribly low but a little low. I was told to take supplements as well. I didn't know of a correlation between weight loss and lack of this vitamin. My weight loss is very very slow, but that may be because I am not pushing it as hard as I could I though. I am…

get a white one and dye it the color you need? or maybe see if you can order something in through a sports store - the ones around here carry most everything in the common school colors.

steam 'em! (but not too long!) stir fry, bake some of them, keep them raw... all sorts of options and things to add with them... nom nom nom nom....

I think my gym charges about 45 or 50 dollars an hour, but it seems like the majority of the people just meet with their trainer every few weeks, not multiple times a week. That can really add up! I meet with my trainer maybe once a month, she sees how I have progressed, and then suggests what to change or do next. I…

It's always easier to bring your own lunch... especially when your town doesn't have a drive thru... lol...

Thanks for the things to think about... I do always eat breakfast, but it isn't huge or probably as good as it can be - I am not a make an elaborate deal in the morning person... Yogurt, walnuts, and fruit, or some kind of cereal is pretty standard. I usually have a smoothie after the gym - yogurt, fruits, and a little bit…

Olympic Peninsula! :)

Click on the tab that says "Food" and then it says "diary," "database," etc. Database is what you must be looking for - you can type in a food and then it gives you the standard nutrition label breakdown of everything in it. Hope that is the correct information this time. :) I think the link that you are talking about is…

I have been in a similar boat - one of my closest friends helped me out. One thing I have found to be amazing is Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer. Its just tinted enough to smooth things out, and its a low level sunscreen, and it doesn't look like you are caked on with foundation. There is no way to mess it up. She also…

I am sure your niece can show you around the site... Look at the top of the webpage - blue buttons for 'home,' 'food,' and 'exercise.' To enter calories click on the one that says food. And then your standard three meals will come up, and a 'add food' prompt is underneath each one... it should be pretty easy to figure out…

There are different forms of rowing - what that member was doing was probably competitive team rowing through a school team or something. Where I live, alot of people just row little dinghies to get around. Gyms also have rowing machines for people to either practice on, or if you don't live near water. This is Wikipedia's…

Hey. I did that not too long ago. But my eating habits got so poor I actually ended up getting really sick and lost 25 pounds and eventually dropped out of school (not entirely related to the fact that I had something like stomach flu for six months.) My dorm had a small kitchen in the basement that we could all use,…

It seems like the "extra calories" is just from exercising so much. If you are very concerned you should ask a trainer at your gym or your doctor, and they would have a better idea if you are eating correctly for your habits.
