Dang that's a lot! When do you eat any vegetables? And what kind of fats are you eating?

hovis wholemeal bread: 57 cals/slice total 114 Butter (depends on how much you used) 1Tablespoon: 100 cal Cheddar (depends on the type, read the label) 90 cals per ounce I found this easily in the database. Click on Food, then click on Database and you can search through all the foods that are logged into the database.…

This, although blunt, is correct. 1200 is barely enough to survive on especially the heavier you are. I did the 1200 calorie diet. I lost weight. I felt like ****. I was SKINNY FAT! All I did was cardio because I didn't have enough energy to lift weights. Nutrient dense, whole, clean foods, water, cardio & weight training…

Take your measurements. The scale does nothing but measure your relationship with gravity. I spent two months with the scale not moving but I was smaller by 2 sizes. 2 weeks isn't enough time to really judge results and you may need to make some adjustments to your nutrition, ie good vs bad carbs, lean protein & fresh…

I have chickens so I feed it to them. When they break the eggs by accident they will eat them anyway. So you can either toss them, freeze them, cook them for another animal or toss them out raw like I do for my hens. But I am like the others & use 1 whole egg with 2 to 3 egg whites for taste, texture, color and a little…

Since you don't have pics I have no clue what your body comp looks like. I see you have done an amazing job of losing a substantial amount of weight, great job!! :flowerforyou: I would suggest a few things. First, stop relying on your scale, that only measures the impact of gravity on you and the scale. It doesn't tell you…

I have that issue but I've had 4 kids & I lost 90 pounds. The best advice I can give you is to seek out the help from a personal trainer and maybe think about checking in with a nutritional counselor. Some of the people I have worked with have been instrumental in getting me over plateaus and only 1 of them set me back.…

I going to assume you are still eating the same as before. The weight gain is most likely water retention. When you first start an exercise program this can happen. You are working your muscles in a way that they are not used to. Lifting weights, running, biking etc, if you are starting something new that the muscles are…

The pressure could be stress induced in a sense that maybe you are holding your breath, your diaphragm is tightened up and squeezing on the esophagus. It could be gas, I get this a LOT. And I too have issues like that when I am tired, dehydrated and overdoing it. The "flutter" could be esophageal spasms or gas & maybe…

♥ This right here

I recently gained 10 pounds (not bloat or water weight) and ppl tell me I am getting too skinny & will blow away if I lose anymore....:ohwell:

MFP rarely uses the correct numbers in my honest opinion. I started off with trying to follow it religiously and lost weight but was very tired. There's no magic behind weight loss, it's caloric deficit and exercise. But I will say that I am personally carbohydrate sensitive & I won't lose as much, if at all, when I carb…

I hit a plateau last summer, or so I thought. But that was for several weeks. What had actually started happening was simple, I was lifting weights & trading body fat for lean muscle mass. Yes please, give me more of that calorie torching metabolism boosting sexy muscle! One week is normal, it could be anything from water…

This, and the fact that morbidly obese people do tend to lose more "weight" because they have so much more to lose. Plus, they workout for many hours a day every day & have specially trained medical staff, nutritionists and personal trainers with them all the time. Gatorade? Seriously isn't worth the sugars. My motto is…

Hot showers, ibuprofen & gentle stretching. Don't give up though, it does get better. The first week or 2 is always going to be the hardest. :flowerforyou:

If you're jumping on carpet or using shoes that don't support properly that could cause the problem. Sounds like something similar I did last year when I attempted to do knee lift jumps on carpet with my old worn out Nikes. Keep the joint stabilized and if the pain continues see a Dr.

I am a Zumba instructor and I can tell you that depending on the intensity of the workout I burn anywhere from 400-800 calories per hour. The best method to get an accurate burn is a HRM, but if you can't afford one then check your heart rate & check it against some of the burn calculators online. btw, if you get the…

Instead of relying on the scale for the right weight start lifting weights and build the muscle you need to firm up the soft spots and you won't care what you weigh. The body you sculpt will look & feel much better and you will be healthier for it. :flowerforyou:

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a rare condition in which a baby is born without the ability to properly break down an amino acid called phenylalanine.

I get the same reaction to Aspartame. It's not a natural substance therefor your body doesn't know how to process it. I know several people that get migraines from it, and there's lots of info on the internet, but I thought this article was good:…

If you can't find one in a 36D try on another in an equivalent size: http://www.brasize.com/bra-sister-size.html This site has a great chart for "Sister bra sizes" that are the same as what you normally wear. Check it out, and I'm sure you will find you have way more options than you thought :flowerforyou:

Dan said it all. Glad you got to this because I was about to say the exact same thing! :flowerforyou: Eat more for breakfast, cut somewhere else if you have to but please don't starve yourself. I learned the hard way & kept making those mistakes up until I came across a topic posted by helloitsdan and since then I have…

I haven't read it, where's the link to the article? I can say from my personal experience that it does give me horrible migraines and I have read it is an endocrine disruptor. Anything artificial like that isn't really healthy for your body, and I avoid sweeteners as much as possible. :flowerforyou:

My girl friend did this & swears by it. No she did not bulk up but she did get some great definition and her arms look awesome! http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/6-weeks-to-sick-arms.html If this is too much try half the workouts & work up to them all. Or check the site for other workouts, programs and tips :smile:

Cardio, weights, clean eating and don't go over your Basal Metabolic Rate - 500 calories. You can't spot train to burn the fat off your abs or thighs, I wish, but you can't. The muscles underneath do not own the fat that surrounds them. I'm sorry to hear about your leg injury, if it has totally healed you could go back to…

Since you are only 3 weeks into the diet you won't run any risk by at least eating up to 1600 calories a day, which is what would be a recommended minimum. Aim to lose 1-2 pounds per week, but ideally 1 to 1 1/2. Anything more than that & you could cause a major slow down of your metabolism. Over time a very restricted…

"Dietary fat, which comes from the food you eat, is crucial to the absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins, which includes vitamins A, D, K and E (water-soluble vitamins B and C don't need fat). Vitamin A is essential for good vision, vitamin D for bone health, K for blood clotting, and E for limiting the formation of…

It's probably your shoes. I learned the hard way after several injuries including shin splints and major calf pain that shoes do matter. I have to also use inserts to support my fallen arches which causes me to pronate. Make sure your shoes fit right and that they offer the right support, otherwise when your foot strikes…

You're welcome :)
