They only thing you're missing is the nutrient analysis. If you don't care about that, don't sweat. You can download the USDA Nutrient Database, which is what mfp is based on. The mfp database is ruined by user added data.

Last night was w2d1 and I found it to be very easy. It was my first time running on a treadmill. So far I've run on the beach, the street, a paved path in the state park and the treadmill. I liked the treadmill bc I was able to see my speed increase from 4.5 to 5.2mph during the running phases. I never thought I could run…

I am on Dukan. 14.6 lbs in 14 days, NO food cravings, NEVER hungry. Love it. Bethany

Don't give up. Just some thoughts. How old are you? Wgt loss gets more difficult in our late 40's. Where are you in your cycle? Make sure you're eating enough protein and fat which keep you full and satisfied. I quit smoking on Thanksgiving so I know where you're at. The other thing is you posted that you're trying to lose…

Completed w1d2 tonite. 16 minute mile. Coming back against the wind was tough but I was very surprised when my phone said '1 minute left" felt like I had just started. Legs and bum feel worked over but I like that feeling. I'm really excited about this. And 3 cheer to Haley for all her hard work. Bethany

Yup single. But hope to see that change too.

Welcome aboard. I have 75 to lose, well I guess 60 now. Stay connected everyday, build a fellowship of mfp friends and become the real you!! Bethany

use the calorie counter at healthdiscovery.net, it factors your weight. http://www.healthdiscovery.net/links/calculators/calorie_calculator.htm

I wasnt finished! Are you eating enough fat and protein to keep you satisfied until your next meal? did you just start dieting? Are you eating too many simple carb foods which are just causing your blood sugar to spike and drop? Try drinking water when you get these cravings, often thirst comes on as hunger. Hope that…

You sound really frustrated. We're all here to encourage you. I started the Dukan diet 9 days again and haven't thought about food or eating since then, except the last day of phase 1 when I was looking forward to having veggies the next day!

OOPs, I started on Saturday, but I'll restart tonight. Who has signed up for a 5k race? I have. It's on July 6th.

Yup I had a breast reduction 9 years ago. The results of plastic surg make you feel confident, happy and sexy. Go for it. Do you live in Mass? I live in Plymouth. BEthany

I'm in. Have never run a race before. Just signed up for a 5k in Brockton, Ma on July 6 to celebrate my 25th anniversary of recovery from alcoholism. So what do we do friend each other. How do we stay in contact. Bethany

Welcome to MFP. You'll do great. Friend me if you like. Love to share encouragement with you. Bethany

I have the sportline duo, around $80 at ****s. Started out with the cheaper version from Walmart and it didn't work after a week and they are non returnable. Spend the money for the better one. It took me a couple times and a good 1/2 hour study with the manual to figure it out but I wouldn't exercise with out it now.

You'll do fine. Friend me.

"It is important to make sure you get at least 1200 calories per day. If you don't, your body will go into starvation mode and will store fat instead of burning it off. " There is no science to support this. Your body cannot store calories as fat if you are not taking in enough calories to support your bodily functions.…

Outstanding post. Congratulations. When we celebrate the non scale victories we reinforce our new lifestyle. Happy for you.

Go to bed. You are probably tired.

Good for you, very impressive. Keep posting your successes. Bethany

Thanks for the info everyone.

Are eating enough fat and protein? If you are eat alot of low fat or nonfat foods you could feel lowsy.

Thats 810 out of 1800 calories s/b carbs, not really a high carb diet. Print out your diary and bring to counselor. Also 1800 cal seems high if you have that much to lose.

Donna Summers station on Pandora. Feels like dancing and makes me happy.

Ken's lite caesar did the trick. thanks for the suggestions.

Increase your fat by 100-150 calories per day with nuts, eggs, avocado and make sure you are getting adequate protein. I too have struggled with hunger on commercial diets and I know now that it is because very low fat diets, which most are, do not work for me. Fat keeps you satisfied, protein is long term fuel. Add up…

Hi Miss Beezy, You can easily lose weight in 6 weeks. What do you think the reason(s) is you haven't lost any? With your permission, I'd like to look at your diary. That's where it all starts. Beatlemom has a great food plan going. How much do you see yourself losing in 6 weeks?
