i don't understand your question. you just answered yourself. mfp told you to eat 1600, your tdee says to eat ~1700, you're eating between 300 and 500 calories less than you're supposed to. of course you're not going to lose weight. eat more, work out appropriately, and you'll lose weight.

jillian has a wicked hypo thyroid, and too much of those foods can interfere with thyroid meds and keep them from working. which sucks, because i love me some broccoli and peaches, but if i overdo it, it WILL interfere with the effectiveness of synthroid. for normal people, there's probably no reason to worry, but if you…

i don't understand why you'd use all that sugar for a pound of chicken, sounds funny.

if that's what your plan calls for, that's what you need to eat? the bag is accurate, broccoli is big, it takes up space, 3 cups of it is a LOT. i don't know what meal plan would call for 3c broccoli at once, but that's the right amount according to the bag.

do this. 1 egg 1/4c raw oats 1/2c cottage cheese blend till relatively smooth. grease your pan. cook like pancakes. this can easily be doubled - the measurements i gave are actually half of the recipe but it yields a good amount for one person. they come out as a wonderful cross between pancake and french toast texture and…

wait, why aren't you allowed to eat vegetables? can you eat beans, lentils? i'd suggest fish and chicken with beans or lentils and berries for something sweet. you might want to look into almond or rice milk, but if you can't have anything with over 5g fiber per serving, you won't be able to eat much cereal. is there a…

unf. dude. i get a burrito with rice, black beans, fajita veggies, and guac. simple, vegan, delicious to the maximum. i still go there probably 2x a month or so, i make it my lolcheatday if i'm sick of cooking.

i just want to say that i think this is fantastic, and not at all extreme. visual reinforcement combined with a tactile reward system = permanent healthy habits. bravo! i've always asked my mom what i can eat from the pantry or fridge, and even now that i'm grown up and only home to visit, i probably do it more frequently.…

My PR was 145 pounds and I was on my way to a goal of 200 before I took an arrow to the knee.

I'm in a sadly similar place, I lost my grandma at the end of January and my grandpa this past Monday :( My reaction has been to basically shut down and stop logging or being active. I'm focusing on going to classes and not just staying in bed all day, so the fact that you're being active isn't all bad. I know I need to…

You're not eating enough if you're working out that much. Eat more, don't stress about it, and don't weigh yourself when you're on your period! Give it some time and you'll be fine. I just looked at your ticker, if you only have 9 pounds to lose, you can not use the 'lose 2lbs a week' setting on MFP and expect to get…

weber's horseradish mustard (western NY represent!) yellow mustard spicy brown mustard briana's real french vinaigrette dressing briana's poppyseed dressing ...so i like mustard.

i found out about 3 weeks ago that my TSH levels were about 8x normal.. my levothyroxine dosage had been too low for the better part of a year and i gained almost 40 pounds :/ right now i'm stuck at 7lbs lost and i totally feel you. it's so frustrating to not be able to control what your body does :/ once your levels get…

your lymph nodes might be full/backed up. a lot of times breast tenderness comes from having too much fluid in the area because your lymph nodes aren't draining properly. the lumps you feel may be just that. there are specific massage therapies that deal with draining lymph, it might be worth it to check out. either way,…

but 250 quarter squats is still almost 63 regular squats. that's still an accomplishment damnit.

a party across my apartment complex kept me up past 3 this morning but i didn't give in to the tired munchies i had and just sipped on tea while i did some homework and waited for the cops to bust the party :)

take a deep breath and start with something simple. stronglifts 5x5 is about as simple as it gets, and there are a billion videos on youtube and other places online that talk about and show how to get proper form. check those out and watch until you can make your body do the same movements, then add weights. you're only…

don't work out again tonight if you're that worried about it. problem solved.

1) food scale, absolutely. wait for a 20% off bed bath and beyond coupon (or sign up for their email list and get one right away) and you can pick one up for $15 2) HRM, if you really feel you need one 3) depending on your long-term fitness goals, get the following (i did this for ~$50 on amazon) yoga mat, block, and…

i think they're cut way too low in the front and the back doesn't fit properly. but that tends to be the case with most strong bottoms, i'd try a different cut/type but that's just me. your legs are bangin'!

i really like the idea of rewarding for hours worked out, i think i might shift to that system instead! i'm currently rewarding myself with something small every 5 pounds for the first 20 and then every 10 pounds after that with slightly bigger things until i hit goal, at which point i will clean out the panty section at…

brandilyn - i'm going to guess by your choices that you live in socal? awesome haha i'm a major fan of sprouts as well, it's the only place i shop. actually, i take that back, i shop at trader joe's when i'm looking for something special. there's an independent pizza place down the street from me that does all gluten free…

I second the hula hooping, you'd be surprised at the workout you can get if you get all srs bsns with your hoop. There are actually quite a few YouTube videos dedicated to hooping workouts, it's kind of a trendy thing haha

I absolutely love my NuvaRing. I've been on it for well over 4 years and after trying several pills, this is the only thing that's worked for me. My periods have gotten shorter, lighter, and less intense, my PMS symptoms have almost totally disappeared, and it's been completely weight stable. My weight issues are still…

you have crossed the threshold! congratulations! and congrats on your loss between yesterday and today!

if you have a fridge, the possibilities are almost endless :) right now, i'm really big into making meatballs in 1-2 pound batches. i freeze them on the tray when they come out of the oven so they don't form a giant meat ice cube and then store them in a gallon ziploc. about 5 of them is a good sized protein portion for a…

you're not eating anywhere near enough, especially with the exercise you're doing. you should probably roughly double your calorie intake if you want to keep up with the level of exercise you're currently at. look up threads that explain TDEE and BMR and base your calorie intake on those numbers as explained. if you're not…

you're way over doing it. dry brushing is a 2x a day thing at the MOST. you need to let your skin recover and it can't do that if you're assaulting it every 4-6 hours.

peanut buster parfait is where it's AT. sorry blizzards.
