I agree with reducing the refined carbs and keeping fruit/veg carbs. I am also anemic, I would incorporate foods high in vitamin C around the time you take in Iron rich foods, as vitamin C helps to absorb Iron. Stay away from caffeine, as caffeine inhibits Iron absorption. If you still have these symptoms after a couple of…

The only weight you need to lose is the dead weight calling you fat. If you want to increase muscle, start doing Stronglifts 5x5. Do things that make you happy, not other people.

I graduated to snatching a 16kg kettle bell. :) and after I did it, I felt like I could probably do 18kg.

I'm an active logger, feel free to add!

Feel free to add me, open diary to friends and active daily :)

Odds are you're eating too much and not creating a deficit from the amount of calories you need to maintain. 1. figure out your TDEE at iifym (http://iifym.com/iifym-calculator/) 2. eat minus 15% of your TDEE calories 3. get a digital food scale and weigh all your solid foods...refrain from using measuring cups/spoons for…

http://www.bodymedia.com/ It's an arm band that you wear for around 23hours a day/night. If you get the link band, it is blue tooth ready and can be updated via their phone app OR plugged into the computer to be uploaded/charged. It doesn't track your heart rate...I don't think there are any out there that do? eta: Oh, and…

Weigh all solid food on a digital food scale if you don't already and since you're about 10lbs shy of your goal weight, change your goal to lose .5lb a week as it's a more realistic goal then 2lbs.

Soup tends to have a lot of sodium, your body MAY just be craving water but you're confusing the signs. Try adding some fibre and protein to your lunch to help keep you full.

Brush your teeth...nothing tastes good after toothpaste! Or drinking water or maybe some hot tea. A hobby might help as well, to help keep you occupied in the evening; reading, writing, painting, burpees...anything you enjoy :)

Aspartame...because one particle of unobtanium has a nuclear reaction with the flux capacitor, carry the two, changing its atomic isotope into a radioactive spider.

It did when it contained ephedra (pre 2004). There is no "quick fix" for weightloss (i.e. raspberry ketones, green coffee shtick, etc.)

Since you're now closer to your goal, I would redo your goal to lose .5lbs to 1lbs a week. Figure out your BMR and your TDEE and try eating between your BMR and your TDEE for a few weeks and see what happens. 1200 calories is pretty low, so don't be surprised if you do gain a little weight when upping your calories...it…

Since your diary is private, we can't provide much help. Do you weigh all solid food on a digital scale? Weighloss = calorie deficit.

I fit treats in every other day or so if my goals permit me to do so. Like tonight, I felt like having some ice cream and I had more then enough room to have some - so I did! This process is about learning moderation...not "eat well 90% of the time then go crazy for a whole day/meal to treat myself"

This is one of the best success stories I have read :) Congrats on all your hard work!

Measuring tape? Track lost inches.

Start weighing your solid food on a digital food scale and only use cups to measure liquids. Sometimes, you're eating more then you think because food weight and volume have a different # of calories (i.e. peanubutter).

If you're willing to pay a little bit of money, check out emeals.com. They create weekly meals under the category you request, yours would be glutten free (they also have low calorie, paleo, clean eating, low carb, vegeterian, slow cooker and more). You can get a years worth of dinners or lunches (or both!), you can see a…

Get yourself a digital food scale and watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVjWPclrWVY

I use BodyMedia Link armband and have it sync with MFP as I find MFP has a superior Food Diary database. It gives me my total burn throught the day, syncs my food entries from MFP, gives me my deficit, tells me how much moderate and vigorous activity I get, how many steps I take, AND how many hours of sleep I get. I'm…

Great work, keep it up! And, that dress is gorgeous! Love the colour

Great job! Keep it up:drinker:

Your main concern right now should be staying hydrated. Don't worry about logging food, eat when you feel up to it and start logging again when you're feeling better, which I hope is soon!

Heck yes

You're about 10lbs from a healthy BMI...since you're this close, weight will start coming off more slowly. You can't really expect the 2+lb losses a week any more. Adjust MFP to lose .5lb to 1lb a week as this is a more reasonable amount. Try that for a few weeks and see what happens. No need for dangerous supplements!

I had Invisalign back in 2008/2009. It really wasn't that much of a hassel at all, it'll stop you from mindless snacking tho! I still had snacks between my meals, I would just rinse my mouth out and avoid snacks that could get a lot of particles between your teeth. I would brush after my main meals (you could also just…

Open up your diary. If you aren't weighing everything on a digital food scale and logging it, then you're probably eating more then you think.
