Cottage cheese with a tbsp of sunflower seeds....Yummo!!!

Yeah, I've done sausage and bacon but just can't do another egg. I've done fried, egg salad, hard boiled, scrambled with and with out veggies. Lunch and dinner are easy for me no worries there. However, breakfast is my downfall.

I am on a doctor prescribed low carb diet consuming 25g a day or less. I was told NO dairy which is ok. However, I am having a hard time with breakfast. If I eat yogurt or cottage cheese and count those carbs and plan my day accordingly will I be ok?

Has anyone made tea with half water and half hot milk? If so, how did u like it

I was still in this morning. We went to my wife's family for the holidays. I made a plan and I stuck to it. If there was something I wanted I allowed myself to have some and by that I mean a bite. I don't feel guilty and I didn't feel deprived. Christmas day it was just us and we had chicken and bacon. All and all I am…

What do they consider moderate exercise.. is 500-600 calories burned per workout moderate?

Thanks..I worked really hard for 2 years and lost 40 pounds..I was running 3 days a week 4 miles and elliptical,swimming, walking, the other 2 days a week. I am a VERY SLOW loser and could never balance my calories right..

I was doing the same thing as you. My happiness would be determined by the scale. I lost over 40 pounds and worked my way up to running. Exercise was a huge part of my life. I had a job change and gained back half of that weight. The one thing I realized is it doesn't matter what the scale says, it matters how you feel.…

My new love is cabbage stir fry...whatever veggies you like sautéed with olive oil then hit it with salt and pepper. Nummo

Oh man, I feel your frustration and pain. My weight loss is very slow..despite mostly eating right and exercise. For me, when I get down about it I think about how far I've come.. 2 years ago, I couldn't walk around the block..now, I am running 3-4 miles 3 times a week.. I can run for an hour without stopping.. I've lost…

I have lots of toning that needs to be done. I figure it can't hurt to do more..lol how difficult is it? Are you supposed to do it everyday?

Thanks for the info..I too have been advised to lift heavey but have NO ideas what that even means or how to go about doing that..LOL strength/weights is NOT my fav...hahaha I would rather do cardio..I thought maybe of doing the 30 DS to get used to strength before I tackle weights per se.. I think I'd almost need a…

Thanks for offering advise. I am so confused on how many calories I should at in a day. I am 5feet tall and weigh 157 pounds. My goal is to be 130 which is a healthy range for me. I had a medgem bmr test done that indicated my resting bmr was 1250. I work in an elementary school so def. not a sedentary job more light…

I too work in an elementary school and find lunches difficult. Thank you to the person who posted the website with all the pictures..I have some great ideas!!!!

I have a polar FT4 and think it's the best money I've spent on fitness besides my gym membership. For me, it helps me determine if I need to eat more calories or not.. I love it
-
I've never really grasped this concept to be honest. I've had a hard time with exercising at eating those calories..wonder why they set it up like this?

Yes, I've had thyroid tested..it came back within the normal range but "high" so Dr. put me on levothyroxin..to try and kick start my metabolism.. that didn't work.. she then referred me to endocrinologist thinking he may have answers.. he ran a bunch of tests but they all came back normal..he then increased my levo but no…

Yes, Yes, Yes! I too panic when I miss one of my scheduled workouts. Likewise, I panic if my family or friends want to go out for dinner. My family/friends know what restaurants I can eat at which helps. This last weekend we had to go to Indiana which meant eating out more often..I went, ate, and panicked the entire time..…

Yeah, my body has completely stalled since around December. I do weigh and measure everything..I only eat serving sizes..etc....recently, I'm trying to cut carbs..trying to stay at 100 or under a day to see if this helps. Been to dietician, dr, and endocrinologist all who do not have answers as to why I'm not losing:( very…
