never thought of putting oatmeal in I'll have to try that next time I make a smoothie

I used the BMR on MFP after they take off 1000 to lose 2lbs a week in the settings area....so what you are say is I need to use the 3000 base setting not the weight loss setting one

I've tried a few protein shakes but have yet to find one that taste good. I am picky and to me if it taste gross I'm not eating. Ie: I don't like chocolate cake thus I don't eat it, same way with broccoli though too.

I just bought some popchips the last time I went shopping. I gave them a try and they are yummy and I tend to have my fill of them after about 11 chips. Which is different for me because before I would need more than just that for me to feel satified on eatting chips

so my tdee is 1950 cal a day. and my doc has advised 70-90g protein per day

I do have some gluten issues so I do some subbituting for that. Ie any pasta listed is always gluten free including ones from like hamburger helper also I was told by my doc not to go over 3oz of meat at one setting

never heard of satsuma...........what does it taste like?

Never really thought about look at a whole week vs one day before

thats pretty much what my lunch was minus the dressing (I'm not a dressing or gravy fan)

Oh forgot to offer that I need to watch my sodium intake as well as I tend to hold water really easy so I try to track that along with my cal count and today I will be pushing that limit of sodium as I plan on having soup for supper

I would for sure be very hungry at that cal count. My bmi is over 60 my BMR is 3000 cal so I try to get under 2000 without eating back my exercise cal

I usually drink about 8-10 glasses of water a day

mine is open and while I try to make healthy choices I also know that I am on a tight budget and sometimes need to use things that cut my cost (ie: hamburger helpper w/o pasta I subitute it but count the same cal count even though it is actually less) Anycase keeping it open is up to you and how you feel about it. If…

Well here is what I suggest.....first exercise every day, but don't over do it, you don't want to hurt yourself. Second do meal planing for the next month. Doing so will allow you to not only have a varriaty but also insure who don't go over in cals.....sodium or carbs. Thrid increase water. fourth if you drink soda cut it…

I too am a Large Girl who has over 200lbs to lose. I understand it is a hard journey and I did lose some before starting MFP so I am about 12 pounds into my weight loss

I have found that gluten can be an issue.

I was told to do both. I too am morbidly obese. When I go to the gym I start with cardio and then switch to weights. I was also told that if I do both it has been shown to help with excess skin some.

I want to be able to do what most people take for granted. To walk without having pain. To be able to go into a store and actually buy something off the rack instead of specaility stores. To be able to fit in an air plane seat. To be able to go to places that my size has kept me from due to the plain I am in when walking…

I had mine out as an adult. OMG not a good experience. I found that having ice water by my side of great help. Including when I went to bed. As far as eating cold items only. I did a lot of jello. The pain meds they gave me just barely took the edge off still a lot of pain. The side effects I got from the meds made it a…

me too...I'm hoping I will be able to work out tommarrow. Hurts to much today

If it were me I would take her to some informational sessions....these are free....she can learn more about it without having to pay anything and even ask any questions she might have. I would suggest more than one. I have been to 5 different ones at each one i learned new things. It was very eye opening. As far as cost if…

they are a good source of potassium

I had some yesterday, still stayed under my cal limit and today even lost a pound

Not all oats have gluten in them, you just have to get the right brand I use aunt freda's gluten free oats

most who have surgery do not have the funds for the items that you are talking about or have tried those ave. and did not work. However, wls is usually covered by insurance including medicare, and medicaid. But what they don't cover is dietitian visits when for the purpose of weight loss without surgery or personal…

Thanks, I think we were typing at the same time I just took a little longer to post trying to figure out what i was going to say... as far as experience...I am currently seeking wls and have all my preop done just waiting on insurance etc.

I wrote what I did because of the way I have seen people treat others who are thinking of wls....statements like wls is not a solution but an easy way out....most people don't succeed with it ect. I do not believe this way. In fact the research that I have read shows that 95% of people fail with just diet and exercise…

having wls is a decision that you need to make for yourself. Do the research, see if it is right for you. Talk with your PCP. Maybe even go and listion to a few informational sessions about wls (these are usually free and don't cost you a dime to listion just your time) You can really learn a lot of information about wls…

not a question now I already ate them

yuck but to each their own, of course I don't like sauces or dressing though either
