hi, I had the same concern before, but what I did with that was I watched what I put into my mouth. I switched to a high protein diet, I am still counting the calories, make sure I stay within the limit, but when I cook I switched ingredients so I can have low of those you named. For example, I use olive instead of…

Thanks for all the great responses. I am going on day 3 for my 5x a week exercise and that feels sooo good!

This all goes down to how you approach him in this kind of conversation. If you have been arguing about this since forever, it's time to change tactics. Change the way you begin your sentence, tone or whatever it is that you do that usually ends up arguing. Start talking like you care, empathize, ask him how he feels about…

Hey, it's free. Anyone can dream.

How many calories are you going to lose if you do this for a month? ;)

I want to do this too, but I think I would die of curiosity with the scale staring at me.

Either you need another man or the ever reliable Mary Palmer - you are naughty guys!

Hi! Welcome to MFP. You are in the right place, I too have a long way to go and I am still going on my first month since joining. Don't let that number scare you girl. We can do this. I am into low carb diet and currently learning the Paleo thing.

Thanks for the replies guys. I think it must be the sodium. This week has been 'heavy' on those kind of food if not starchy. I was just wondering why even if I was below my calorie allowance. You are right Kairu, it's not enough to be counting the calories and staying below it. Eating the good food is important.

I do eat enough meals throughout the day. I eat about 5-6x including the snacks, just low on carbs though. I wonder if it's sodium or there is just something wrong that I am doing.

Hi, welcome! I am always over with my protein intake on a daily basis and I find it okay because I always feel full but not heavy. I tend to avoid consuming too much carb and I try to keep it down under 135g, at least that's what my nutritionist told me. For over two weeks now I have lost 9lbs just by staying below my…

I am 5'3" and my goal weight is 125-140. Right now I fit into size 18 jeans but they are starting to fall off, it's either I have to buy a new pair or get some suspenders ;))

Hi, I don't do crazy dieting myself, but I am cutting down on carbs as well as watching the calorie in my food.

A week ago I was in the morbidly obese category, now I am in the obese section, so don't lose hope. I am there with you as well. I like that you have taken the first step to do something about your situation. I have a 1 year old son that has to be taken cared of and if I won't change anything I won't be around to be with…

Culver's buffalo chicken tenders..550 calories for four pieces no dip yet. And their fresh fried chicken to go (4 pcs deep fried chicken, mashed potato, green beans, one bread) 2000+ calories. Just looking at the calorie count makes my heart feel like clogged with cholesterol.
