I didn't imply that I must be eating within range just because I don't eat out or graze. I said I don't eat out since someone mentioned that I shouldn't and I said I don't eat junk food or graze since someone gave an oreo example. I also mentioned not grazing to clarify that I was logging every single food that was going…

Just came back home. Kids fell asleep in the car so I'll try to reply as fast as possible before someone wakes up. Exercise with kids isn't much of a challenge for me in terms of finding time since I can ignore the messy house or the piling up laundry. I'm lucky that they either jump around me trying to do the moves with…

I appreciate the concern an I'll take that into account but I don't really eat junk food. The last oreo I ate was when I was in college more than ten years ago. I also don't graze between meals. I'll bring my food list to my nutritionist. I'm really not being snarky as I believe maybe I'm eating too much, who knows but I'm…

I'll try to weigh my food as well. I cook from strach in bulk, like 10 quarts for red lentil soup and freeze. Then measure by volume and divide for calories. I weigh the lentils for my recipe book, eyeball the size of the onion, measure the tomato paste and oil by volume. I assumed this would give me a good estimate of…

My toddler fell asleep in the carrier while I was posting my previous reply and I have a few minutes while my husband fixes a lunch for ODS. YDS is almost 20months old. Breastfeeding at this point for him is usually for comfort. He eats 3 meals a day and healthy snack in between. I don't think I'm depriving him of…

Thanks for the replies! I couldn't read them all yet, hopefully during nap/down time, but wanted to answer the exercise thing. My kids (3 and 1.5) love Jillian and Shaun T. LOL. my older calls Jillian "the jumping jacks lady". And I make the most of those 30mins by really, I mean really pushing myself. With JM, I burn…

I'm also breastfeeding a toddler and it should burn some so they say. I'll check out the link you posted. Thank you. I found about Emma-Leigh yesterday and read about her recommendations a bit but I need to have our nanny back to do more reading. Hopefully, in a few days.

I don't eat back what I supposedly burn by exercise. According to mfp app, I should be eating 1400 but my fitbit adjusts it to 1700something at the end of the day since apparently I'm more active than "moderately" active but i don't eat back those too. Regardless of my total supposedly burned calories, I try to eat around…

I honestly eat around 1400 cals a day. I don't snack around. I truly log every single thing. Even if it's two cashew halves my kids stuff into my mouth. Or that double shot espresso even if it's just 5 calories. Really no intentional cheating. I'm 5’ 6”. 145lbs yesterday. 146.2 this morning. I wear a HRM for exercises. I…

I'm in. Well, as soon as I get my invite :)
