Yes, you should! :smile: At first I was confused as well... I'm trying to lose weight, why should I eat all these extra calories? BUT... your body will go into starvation mode if you don't and you will most likely not lose fat. Read these: 1.) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/9614-newbies-please-read-me 2.)…

You are worried about eating your workout/exercise calories?

Nope, not part of the 28lbs or less club. I have a lot more than 28lbs to lose, hehe.

Thank you! :smile: I was looking for something other than fitness... Something to keep me on track with my eating.

As other said... check your Iron and Carbohydrates. You need them both and will give you a bump in energy. I take an Iron supplement everyday as told to by my Doctor! :smile:

:tongue: Congratulations! Make it another pound or two next week... Great job. Keep up the great work and stay motivated.

I see all these different challenges like push ups and sit ups, beach body, biggest loser, and other supportive groups and I want to be in one, but they all started so long ago. I was thinking off starting one, but can't really think of what... anyone have an idea or want to start one too?

I have no idea, but I have done the research on them and they look healthy and great! I'm ordering them... Thanks! :tongue:

I understand what you mean. My Boyfriend is on this site as well, but trying to GAIN weight. Yes, you can use this website to gain weight by recording. I eat 1,200 calories a day while he is eating at least 4,000. It's hard, but he understands my goals and I understand his... ask him to be supportive and there are options…

Congrats! I once have recovered from an eating disorder as well and am now working on eating healthy and becoming healthy! :smile: Good luck.

Welcome! :smile: We are all here for support and advice. Good luck with this journey... it's a very rewarding one!

If you can't afford for her to have her own personal trainer then I would personally watch her carefully and you decide the amount of weight. It should start off fairly low and make sure she doesn't push herself too hard and this shouldn't be an every day activity for someone so young. Be careful and have a good day!…

There is NO possible way to lose weight quickly and healthy. 2 pounds a week is a great goal and healthy. AND... You need everything: Protein, Carbs, even Fat, Veggies, and Fruits... EVERYTHING in portions. Good luck and stay healthy... :smile:

Congrats! :smile: You are going to look amazing when he gets back... I bet you can't wait for him to see all your progress. Keep up the amazing work. I've lost 10 pounds... and soon I'll say I've lost 20 just like you. :happy:

Thanks for helping him out and giving some nice advice.

I'll be super slim and he will be big and strong soon...

Haha, it's okay! I don't mind. :smile:

No, he isn't making a joke. He truly is trying to gain weight. He could eat A LOT and still be super small.

I :heart: You! Doesn't it suck to have a Boyfriend trying to gain weight, but I'm trying to lose? Haha. :sad:

I have taken it and I do love it. I have read reviews and have not heard anything bad yet. It gives me that extra boost, not many cravings for junk food, and you are right... it's no quick fix, but a nice little addition to a diet. My Sister has her PhD in Nutrition and I'm getting my degree in Exercise and Wellness. My…

100 Calorie packs... I don't give up chocolate when on a diet, just portions and it's been working for me for a long time now. Yummy chocolate covered pretzels for 100 calories... :smile:

He's trying to gain weight and I'm trying to drop weight... i bet it's super hard for his skinny butt to gain weight... I wish I had that problem! Haha.

I :heart: Banks! ...You are so helpful...

Thank you. I appreciate the ideas and advice. It means a lot to have everyones love and support. I'm back on track today and have a feeling I'll stick to it... :smile:

Thank you. I do munch on veggies and fruits and try to eat as healthy as possible, but sometimes I just fall in and like right now feel like I can't get out! :brokenheart:

Thanks, I'm going to have to look up the facts. I do know that the Veggie Pizza at Pizza Hut isn't horribly bad which is kinda cool. : ) I'll get myself back on track tomorrow and back to melting those pounds away!

Sometimes I feel like a huge failure, especially right now. I can't even go two weeks eating healthy and sticking to exercising. I'm in college and it's really hard sometimes to turn down food, it's hard to healthy with college food and Taco Bell and Pizza Hut on my meal plan card. I've dropped 6 pounds and that was…

Thank you! : ) I didn't know I could/should record things like cleaning under exercise... I knew I was burning calories. : )
