I use heybales's spreadsheet on the In Place of a Roadmap Forum. It is MUCH more comprehensive. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/717858-spreadsheet-bmr-tdee-and-deficit-calcs-macros-hrm

Amazing!

I'm never hungry. I eat between 1600-1850 cals per day. Fuel your body, don't deprive it. Doctors are not necessarily nutritional experts. Trust me, I'm a former nurse. I've seen how many of them live.

Of course you can have bananas.

Wow! Great job, lady!

I love this post! It's exactly what I needed to hear this morning. Thanks so much for sharing your story.

I think you're being entirely reasonable. He may enjoy your treat, but he certainly doesn't appreciate it. He'd get just as much satisfaction from eating any other chocolate treat. Boys at that age are pretty much oblivious, and their mouths are on autopilot. I buy myself relatively pricey thin crust mini pizza crusts that…

I'm amazed that this is even a question.

I'm the exact same way. I chalk it up to a fear of success.

Up a pound this week, but I'm not surprised. Good luck everyone!

Amazing!

Thank you! This is EXACTLY What I needed to hear today. I mean, I already knew this in my head, but that godforsaken scale still has it's little hooks in my emotions.

Wow! Nice work Blessings to you and yours.

I'm skipping this week's weigh-in for a couple of reasons. On to week 2!

Reclaim your power, doll. Don't allow her to hurt you ever again.

You don't fail until you stop trying.

Of course I do. Why wouldn't I?

For the hips, I go with the widest girth. I do two waist measurements, one across the belly button and one an inch above. BTW, If a simple spelling error by a perfect stranger on an open forum makes you that crazy, than perhaps the internetz are not the place for you. A little tolerance is in order, I'd say. Spelling =/=…

Like a boss!

Me! Me! Pick meeee!!!

Okay, let's!!

Whenever I want.

I just use real butter and log it. Still losing. :drinker:

I follow this program: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/912914-in-place-of-a-road-map-3-2013 Last week, I averaged 1833 calories each day, and lost 3 lbs. It works.

Focus on your eating for now. That is so much more important than exercise.

I ran across this recipe today in Self magazine and thought it sounded delish: http://www.self.com/fooddiet/recipes/2013/04/banana-ice-cream-roasted-almonds Banana "Ice Cream" With Sweet-and-Salty Roasted Almonds This recipe has all the rich, creamy texture of ice cream with none of the dairy or sugar. The crunchy topping…

Wow! What amazing progress. Great job, Becky.

Do them more often.

I'll try to add a photo next wek. Challenge Start Weight: 202.4 Challenge Goal Weight: 182.4
