I eat some of them. I am also on the 1200 calorie diet and it is pretty hard to stay at that. You really have to make every single calorie count. I try to stay at 1200 and if I am starving or it's Friday night (the one night I let myself splurge) I will eat SOME, but not all. But I lose very slowly too. I shouldn't be…

I just had a baby 4 months ago myself. I was 125 when I got pregnant and I was 190 when I gave birth. I dropped 17lbs right away and have only lost 10 in the last 4 months. I have been working out at the gym 4 days a week and running 6 miles 3 days a week. I am breastfeeding and have found that it is preventing me from…

For cardio I am not so sure that you need a protien shake before or after your workout. The purpose of drinking protien is to repair muscle tissue which is usually torn during a weight lifting session. Since your muscles are made up of protien they need protien to repair themselves. If you do not have sufficient protien in…

I started 2 weeks ago. I am really enjoying it. I find it very theraputic. I am only doing about 2 minutes of running and 5 minutes of walking though. I hope to be able to run 5 miles without any walking by a year. It's good to hear other people are going through this too. I thought I was the only person who thought they…

Also, with strength training I actually gain weight. When I was at my ideal weight and working out 30 minutes of cardio and 45 minutes of weights each day I wasn't loosing a pound, in fact I gained a few. But my clothes fit better. If you start using weights don't be discouraged in the begining when you don't see the scale…

Do it now. if you start a new job (good luck finding one right now btw) you are going to feel obligated to get back to work asap in order to keep that job. I just had a baby and trust me, you will not want to go right back to work. Also, if you get a new job they may frown upon you for having to take a long leave right…

I am baffled. Of course it helps you loose weight. It burns calories while you are doing the excersise, it uses your fat stores for energy, thus burning fat, it increases your matabolism so you burn more calories while you are not excersising, and it increases muscle which makes you burn more calories. It also reduces your…

I can't answer that but I know you never wanna be below 1200 kcals no matter how big or small you are.

Same thing with me. I think they are just looser. It's amazing how much you have to loose to actually drop a pant size.

Starting weight: 127 Current weight: 127 Goal weight: 120 Goal weight loss a week: 1 Pounds lost this week: 0 pounds lost total: 0

Just a tip-- with the wraps, do they offer a whole wheat tortilla? Because even though the calories are low in the italian bread and the flour tortilla, you are consuming simple sugars that spike your blood sugar level up high. Stick with the wheat bread (it's the same calories as the italian) or do a wheat tortilla if…

I have thing for chocolate and I recently found out that simple sugars increase your appetite. I was eating so much chocolate everyday and I was always hungry. So I cut out all simple sugars, meaning white bread, white rice, fruit, chocolate, etc. and my appetite has gone way down. So, I know that wasn't the advice you…

I don't count anything that isn't a "Workout". Meaning, I don't count things that I know will burn calories but isn't done for that purpose such as cleaning, walking to the store, taking the stairs at work, washing the car, golfing, etc. Those are extra calories burned for me. Your body doesn't start getting into a fat…

The FDA watches these things way too closely for them to get away with false figures. And if it did slip by the FDA somehow, Mc Donalds and Burger King (the comparisons listed on the napkins) would spend any amount of time and money to dispute their claims and ruin them in front of the media. So, I'd be willing to bet my…

There is a food saved that is called Salad-Mixed Vegtables. I have a pretty big salad for lunch so I always add 3.5 servings of that for 87 calories and then add the dressing and turkey breast seperately. In my opinion, as long as you're not adding cheese, beans, bacon, crutons or more than a couple olives, then it's close…

I worked in a restaraunt for 6 years. Within 2 months of quitting I lost 15lbs without trying. Just eating a huge lunch with fries everyday because it was free, having unlimited access to soups and breads and bar condiments such as olives, and I drank a ton of soda. It was diet, but still...I had maybe 20 a day. Now that I…

I would switch to 3 sets of 15 instead. The results will better meet your goals. Do abs everyday.Those are the only muscles that don't need rest. I just hired a personal trainer. I just had her for 4 sessions to make sure I have form down and to point me in the right direction. I have always worked out but after having…

I quit smoking cigerettes after 8 years a month ago and I was really nervous about the weight gain. Un-intentionally I took up drinking tea because it gave me the hand-mouth motion that was hard to kick and it was 0 calories. The only kind of tea I like is green tea. I lost 5 lbs right away from that. Now that I have been…

Ok, that makes more sense. I understood the fundamentals of how to loose weight, but what this website does not tell you, that it should, is what you told me. I couldn't figure out if it told me how many calories I can eat and maintain, or loose. Well, either way, I'm gaining weight. I'm staying under my calories each day,…

I keep reading postings from people who are just as confused as I am and say that when they eat the bonus calories they stop loosing wieght. I have only gained weight since I started but its not from over eating. What has been your experiences? Are you loosing with the bonuse calories still? Do you eat all of them? It just…

I have been working out regularly for about 6 months now. I wasn't getting as much definition as I wanted so I started doing some more weight training and incorporated protein shakes into my diet. I am stil staying at the same amount of calories (1270) as I was before, but working out harder, and more often. In the past…

I have been a little confused about the calories and excersise numbers. So for example, I am allowed 1270 calories a day. When I excersise, I usually burn 500. So that is 1770 calories a day. But, with the 1270 calories a day- without excersise- is that how many I can have and loose wieght or just maintain? In other words,…

And i was told you have to post a bulliten for you to find friends. So here it is...
