  • I thought for the longest time that is what was going on with my right heel. Come to find out I had torn my achilles tendon. I would suggest making sure it is really Plantar Fasciitis. Keep a golf ball on the night stand and before you put your weight on the foot roll the golf ball from the ball of the foot to the heel. It…
  • I use Nestle's beneprotein. I started from using it in a medical kitchen that I worked in. It was harder to find than I thought but I love it. It is a whey protein but is flavorless the scoop is only 1.5 TBSP with 25 calories. Good luck.
  • I was eating about 800 calories and did the same thing. I did a restart and upped my calories to 1800 for a few weeks and then went to 1200. I am losing again. I was plateaued before for almost a month. Up your calories and make sure you are intaking enough protein. Keep asking questions on here and you will be flooded…
  • I was fighting with mine and after losing 24 lbs I'm medication free. I still check it regularly out of habit but it sure feels good to know I don't have to take meds. About the only thing I know to do when it is high without medication is to lie on your left side and try to relax. In reality if it is 131/81 your not in…
  • I am struggling with the same thing. I am know on Herbalife and doing better because I only have to eat once but like today I have days where I just don't make it to 1200. You can always add almonds as a snack 20 almonds have about 170 calories. If you are stuck on the salad you can add dried cranberries 1 oz 90 calories,…
  • I am doing the ultimate program right now and I love it. It helps me get the calories I should because I have had a tendency not to eat enough calories. Because of my low intake I was not losing. I have been on the program for 5 weeks and have lost 10 lbs. Compared to other protein shakes out there I think the flavor of…
  • I with the others in that the portions are probably outrageous. I would order al a carte for an entree and then a salad without extras and don't be afraid to carry your own dressing. Honey mustard dressing from a bottle has as many calories as ranch but if you mix honey and mustard you can have almost a half of cup for 60…
  • Don't give up! I had a 3 week plateau. Then last week I lost 7 lbs. It just seems to happen that way. That is why you stay here with like minded people to encourage you. Keep up the good work. Good Luck.
  • I just bought mine and the band is elastic type material. It is stretchy and adjusts with a velcro closure. My arms are currently like 13/14 inches. When I bought mine it did not ask me about an armband size. Good luck.
  • Sorry to hear you are struggling. I was fighting the same problem myself. Are you eating back your calories from exercise? I finally invested in a body media fit so I could see what I was really burning. That was 2 weeks ago since then I have lost 7 lbs. Don't give up keep trying things until you find the one solution that…
  • I am also a late night person. I don't start eating until I am actually hungry in the morning. Sometimes that means I don't eat my "breakfast" until noon and then go from there. It makes no difference when you eat as long as you are logging everything you eat and dont go over your intake allowance. Good luck with your…
  • Totally love a big hairy one, just saying.:bigsmile:
  • Thanks for the information. I don't think it is miscalculating. I am an active person. I average between 10,000-15,000 steps a day without leaving the house. I have a 2 year old grandson that I take care of and have an art studio in the house. I think after reading these posts I will just stay where I am cause I'm not…
  • Rabbit meat! I have raised rabbits for many years but until I started logging my food I had never looked to see how many calories it contained. I was relieved to find out that the protein was double so I guess that makes up for it.
  • I just purchased the bodybugg but haven't received it. I have been struggling and figured it couldn't hurt to know what I was really burning to help me get this weight off. Hope someone else posts and tells us good things.
  • Thanks for all your comments. I figured I would jump start my weight loss with the shakes and take a needed break from making food choices. Of course I am still eating a meal everyday so I still am facing good choices and portion control. Thanks again for your input.
  • My BMR is also around 1800. I have been on 1200 calories just because I have not been exercising. My days are usually pretty busy so I rarely eat all my calories.
  • Awesome information! Thank you for clarifying.:happy:
  • I was just getting ready to post on the same topic. I have noticed that everyday, almost, I may not go over my caloric intake but I exceed my protein. I'm curious to see some answers to this question.
  • I will gladly be on the pink team.
  • I am curious, how do you add your weight loss scale to appear at the bottom of the your posts?
  • I actually thought I had missed the 1st day. I'm so glad to see the menu. I am a creature of habit and tend to eat the same things over and over just because it's easy. I have been encouraging my friends to make their diaries viewable by friends just to get some new ideas. I love the challenge already. It felt great when I…
  • Hello, I am new to the site and am glad to be here. I have been looking at my posts thinking why am I the only one looking at these. I am trying again to get my crap together and this site seems like its going to help me along nicely.
