  • Egg whites, baked chicken, spinach, low fat yogurt... looks like it is possible to me. None of those things are high in fats and none are high in carbs either. I do eat some almonds each day for a source of healthy fats and I also will eat some oatmeal sometimes, as I mentioned earlier. .... thanks though...lol
  • That's great advice. Yeah, I'm not binge eater... I err on the side of not eating enough (good food). Local food is a good idea - probably cheaper too. I thought about packing packets of oatmeal in my luggage for breakfasts. I don't know if that's the best idea though. I ican see all of my clothes covered in oatmeal flakes…
  • clean diet = no processed food, sugars, alcohol, etc. I'm okay with only water weight or a temporary weight loss for this event. (I know that sounds unhealthy.) Should I fry the worms or broil them?
  • I said google-diagnosis (LMAO) so unless Google has an "Upload serum option." ha ha ha. I just have a lot of the symptoms. I hope it is just coincidence and I do NOT have to take medicines every day. I guess I'll see in about 6 days.
  • I Google- diagnosed myself with it...If that helps. I am going to dr this week so he can hopefully tell me I'm wrong. ( wanted to comment to help follow the thread)
  • A game I mean diet...measuring,logging,water etc. (no serious additional exercise yet) I just think it's only fair that I be at goal by now... I mean I passed up a Snickers - that should qualify as an immediate 5 pound loss, right? (of course I know better)
  • I want to know what's *really real* in regards to cal in/cal out theory versus "starvation mode" and not eating enough calories.
  • Oh yeah, good idea. :) that's a scary initial thought though. Hahaha. I will admit though...that number on the scale means a lot to me. Probably too much.
  • Definitely want one that integrates with mfp but want one that is accurate. I've heard negative things about the aria from the fitbit page. Maybe they've fixed the bugs. ?????

  • Thank you...good resources for ideas.
  • Fabulous explanation. Thank you for taking the time to reply to me. I can't say I understood it all in the first read but it made more sense than anything else I read online with my Google searches. You are awesome. Thanks again.
  • The "funny guy," huh?
  • My question was not if it is possible. My question is why does it work the way it works.
  • Hey, I sent you a friend request.
  • IDK but I'm right there with you. Logging for 5days and gained 1.5 and lost 1.5. So I'm right where I started. Glad to know that there is someone else in my boat too. Let's just hang in there a bit longer.
  • What happens if you drink too much? I didn't know there was a thing as "too much water."
  • I just gave a piece of my FAVORITE pizza to the dog (instead of eating it like I wanted to.) I knew if it went back in the 'fridge I would have eaten it later. LOL - My dog loves me. :)
  • LOL - so, I guess the question for you would be, "How many beers do you have each day?" :)
  • All great ideas. Thank you! I LOVE the oatmeal idea but my initial thought was the carbs in it. (Don't know what to do.... hummm.....)
  • ABOUT BEING "SELFISH" OH NO, no no no no.... I was saying that in a positive way. I think you (I/we) have to be selfish with exercise and dieting. We've only got one body and one life. I was just trying to say that if you were only successful in weightloss because you had time to dedicate only to yourself and you are in…
  • Amanda, I've been eating at least 5 veggies a day. They are usually added into my mail meals. Like last night I made spaghetti and added zuchini, squash, eggplant, etc into it. I jusst didn't log each one separately because... well... I have 3 kids under 5... LOL Most of my meals this week have been "homemade with help"…
  • If you want to date someone - do it. Losing weight and "dieting" is learning how to incorporate all aspects of your life into a healthy balance. If you are really selfish with your time and energy now - while losing weight will you know how to automatically find the healthy balance with maintainance and dating later?
  • Okay, I THINK I made it public. Routine??? ha ha ha - what routine? Nah, really, I've only exercised twice this week. Once wed, once today (that I haven't logged yet). I plan to up that to 4 times a week but finding time for twice was hard enough for this first week. I also wanted to say that my pregnancy weight is gone. I…
