I don't drink except on specialish occasions. The amount of calories it has is enough to keep me from doing it. Im having a hard enough tome coming to terms with the amount of calories that are in my coffee creamer.

Ice cream

I eat 1500 calories a day, i weigh 196 and am losing about 2lbs a week, sometimes more. I think you are not counting correctly.

I would drive myself crazy if i weighed a slice of bread, i am camp..good enough. I do weigh anything that is not pre packaged or portioned, and i always weigh up instead of down. Like i cut cheese today that was 26g instead of 28, i used the 28 i already had atored. I weigh my chips..and always put 1 back. Same with…

My dad has eaten this way as long as I can remember. he has a banana and pepsi for lunch every single day..and then a massive dinner. Has always made my mom a bit testy. But I can say he has never struggled with his weight. On saturdays he has a big lunch, and on sundays he has a big breakfast..nothing else for the rest of…

but you could weigh the food, and then weigh the left overs..kinda like if you weigh a banana with a peel, then you go back and weigh the peel and take it off..

you would log the exact same way you would food. The juice still has calories, so you count everything you put in it..and it can add up. if you use the same combo you can save that and then just enter it as a whole next time

if the question is will eating too little make you not lose, well no...of course not.

since I know im logging my food, my diet is in no way representative of what it was before. Since I 'care' now..I am very mindful of what I put in my mouth. So if you looked at my diary you would see what a typical day looks like NOW, but it is not what represented me getting up to 200 lbs. I don't have a huge appetite,…

I have stalled this week, had 2 birthday parties back to back last weekend..i ate at maintenence, not a deficit and lost 3.5 lbs from sunday to monday morning. It is still gone... I have no clue if there is a science to it, but i almost always lose if i have an i don't care meal like once a month. Unfortunately i have a…

Nestle mini drumsticks. 120 calories, and yummy.

is that a lot..? I gained 83lbs with my first child. imagine my dismay when he only weighed 7! BUT I used my pregnancy as a reason to eat all the crap I had not eaten. I ate donuts and pancakes, like every day. maternity jeans were comfy. with my second i gained 25. my 1st is now 6, and I am still 50 lbs heavier than I was…

it helps that my husband is also losing weight so we can share things or at least offer support, but if i know its it is coming i plan for it, as i don't want any meal bad enough to set me back 3 or 4 days. It is just not worth it to me. absolute worst case scenario is I eat to maintenance, but I have only done that like 3…

so this, I went out to a Japenese steak house the other night, I logged as best I could guesstimate..and was still under my calories..I did gain a lb, but it was gone the next day...I thought hmmmmm but i have done that so many times in the past that I know better.

Look up how many calories are in something before you eat it, that usually stops me in my tracks. I also spend a ridiculous amount of time looking up weight loss quotes..the one that really stuck with me is "something you have been craving for 15 minutes or the body you have wanted for a lifetime"

yoplait whips. love them, i buy them buy the case at Sams club!

I feel like since I have gotten used to smaller portions, sometimes i'm like huh..I have 300 calories left for the day and I don't even want anything. I have a 1540 goal. I often eat something ...just because. I had chicken last night..and after I weiged it out to 3 oz, I realized I did not even want that much. I can eat a…

no, no plexus does not work. It is MLM, and I don't want to take ANY advise from someone who is silly enough to sell MLM stuff especially when it comes to health. nail stickers, bags...whatever. but supplements? PLEASE.

I am getting married may of 2015. I found an Australian couture gown for 74.00 (you read that right) that looks amazing on me...except ya know that fact that it won't zip. But I could not pass it up..so I have some serious motivation. It is a size 14. I hate the way dresses are sized. I easily fit into a size 14 pant from…

my moment was also a picture a friend posted of me at her sons birthday. OMG it grossed me out..that was so not how I saw myself!!! and my second moment came about a week later...we took our son to a cave at silver dollar city and we walked down about 100 very steep graded stairs.. (not meant to be climbed up) but anyhow…

track what you eat, and eat less of whatever is served. that will do more than the skiing for weight loss. you don't have to eat every bite they give you.

if you normally eat 3000 or so calories a day--try a week at 2500, then next week 2000. the week after 1800, drop down to say 1460 (that is what i eat) and it is more than doable I LOVE me some coffee---and here is what i have done if you can tolerate it switch to stevia or something similar (avoid aspartame) that will get…

OK start small... open your diary or star logging here is how you STOP at least fo me--look at how many calories something has and then decide if you are still ALL in your burger has 1090 calories in it..so 2180 for your meal. my guess is that is about how many calories you should eat for the entire day. a single has 580…

I eat canned green beans..and only canned green beans. I seriously hate all vegetables, like you'd think they did something awful to me. I have tied bites here and there as an adult....yep still don't like them. You might try the cook book deceptively delicious, I use it on my children...basically mixing cauliflower with…

yummy food is my biggest challenge!!!! I am a very picky eater--there is just no way around it, I eat worse than most toddlers because i seriously HATE almost all vegetables and anything low calories. I can't stand lettuce, and by the time i put enough crap on it there is more calories than a double cheeseburger so why…

eat whatever you want! (especially the first hundred pounds or so down) just count it! just count the calories and move on. feel free to check out my diary..i don't eat cabbage!!! tonight I am having a 1/3 pound turkey burger with homemade fries for dinner. I will still have enough left for coffee and ice cream! you do not…

I have only been at this for about 8 weeks--and i lose pretty steady--and eat really dirty, i am have spaghettios out of a can as i type-- I don't have a specific cheat day--but i do allow myself to eat whatever the hell I want when it is a social event or something. this normally happens about once a week..or once every…

i'm new to this--and I don't eat very well BUT you are losing a lot of calories to candy and crap--not saying you can't fit it into your diet--but I would suggest a much lower calorie breakfast so you have more room to play during the day--also your calories burned is probably really high. I would aim for around 1600 and…

go at a different time..?

anyone can feel free to add me! SW:220 CW 200.6 GW 150 (will rethink this once it happens)
