watch sodium and sugar!

Yeah I am on Motrin for sure! My dentist started teh RCT and found the issue so I went straight to the endo right away. My endo said I will be in pain for about a week. My roots were twisted like a double helix and she had A LOT of work to do on it. I have never had anything like this, so I am not sure what recovery will…

Wow thanks! Great to know!

Hit the quote button on the posts you want to quote. It puts it in blue for you and you don't have to copy and paste. You can also delete what you don't want to quote from between the boxes that say quote in them. And thanks!

LOL...I don't really watch biggest loser, sometimes on the weekends when my kids are napping and I want to vege out...but I know I don't weigh that much!!! I have checked my scale and I weigh on two separate ones (one digital one analog) to keep them accountable. I only record the losses from one, the same one each time.

Well, after reading what a lot of you have said, I have myself gone back over my diary (which I am sorry but I made avail. for friends only for personal reasons) and I found that I am eating out a lot more than I even realized. I am happy that the amount is down from how often I used to as well as I have changed what I eat…

Read it and this was awesome. #7 describes how I feel, so maybe I need to vary intensity and not push through days my body says not to.

I really want to take time and thank all of the good and uplifting and encouraging responses I have received. It is nice to know that others of you have and are feeling the same way. I have a few good tid bits to try. This doesn't mean I am not still frustrated. It is hard to put in so much hard work for so long and not…

Well, had you read what I wrote you would see that I am frustrated and NEEDING a reason to move on. I didn't say I WAS giving up. And your attitude doesn't help me and this is my thread...so take your negative ways elsewhere, where they do work. I was asking for help and clarity, not a crappy attitude. Positivity is so…

I have read them all! =) Thank you for your post it was helpful and I haven't been eating enough protein. I actually went vege for a few days because I am tired of meat. I love eggs right now so I think that may be a big issue. Thanks! I will take your advice Everyone (mostly) ;) has been very helpful and kind. I am going…

Maybe you should have looked at every day in my diary not just today. And if you read my other posts you might get some of the answers you are looking for. I have done my research, and a lot of it. I am not stupid or feeling sorry for myself. Re read what I posted and see that I am frustrated and not looking for negative…

I never said I CAN'T!!! I simply asked why? Maybe you need to put down the Jillian and pick up some compassion instead, it will get you further.

Answers to many: I am at 1430 because I am currently 205, looking to lose 1.5lbs a week, and it spikes to 2000+ because of my workouts. You can view the workouts at the bottom of my diary - there is a link. Also, I have a HRM and log my exercise from there. I actually found out that MFP was calculating my burned cals lower…

You may not think you are being negative but you are. You clearly don't "get plateus and being upset." Obviously you have never been in my shoes and so your negative comments are not welcome here. I am looking for a reason to continue. It seems to me that you haven't read everything I wrote and came to your own conclusions…

Thank you, I don't know why but this one speaks to me a lot. I will try that and track it closer.

Thanks all for your responses. I do have a lot of starbucks and that is mainly because I drive my husband to work 1 hour 1 way and 1 hour back at 5-6 in the morning. I have found that it has the healthiest options for on the road eating with two small kids. I should probably plan ahead and bring a breakfast that woudl be…

Ummm, I wish I was, but NO not today. I will make up for it though. I am still not hungry so I guess that is good since I would have already eaten my second meal today.

Sorry, one more thing I use a heart rate monitor to track my calories and heart rate. I try to stay within range as much as possible in workouts (usually stay in it aroundd 70% of the time). It also accurately tracks my calories burned too.

when I say free day I basically don't count calories that day. i am cautious but I allow myself to indulge. Things like pizza for dinner or if I am at a family event, birthday party, ect. I still try, but not as hard. I do some sort of exercise every day even if it is a short walk to the pool or with the dog...something.…

Ok i made my diary public...hopefully it shows Oh and this morning I was irritated, so ignore my bad start!!! lol

I am measuring everything, I am almost always eating back what I exercise unless it is just way too much sometimes I have an extra 700 cals and I dont want to blow that on unhealthy food so I eat something good and the rest seems to go to waste. I feel like I have tried everythng. 12 of the 14 came off in the first 2…

I jsut bought one today. My first "fat swim suit". I have always rocked the bikini, until today. I bought a black ruffeled tankini with a skirt...in a size 16 ugh! Each piece was around $25-$35. I do have to say though, that it is the BEST I have felt in a bathing suit in years and I look forward to hitting the pool with…

I'm in So Cal, check the weather for when you come it is raining today! =(

I was in the classroom for 6 years (middle school science) and now I work from home with parents who homeschool through a local charter school. I do have to say being at home is harder since I eat everything in sight. I used to just inform my students I had a strict diet and there may be times I am eating in class. They…

I felt the same exact way! Here is what I did... For the first few days I simply just logged what I ate. (I added any normal exercise I did which was minimal when I did it). Once I started doing that I naturally started looking at what I was eating and changing it a little at a time. I was itching to add exercise soon…

Yay you! What a wonderful thing. I noticed when I started MFP that things in my life (more slowly) came together as well. I also noticed that I was wayyyy more cautious with what I fed my kids and I noticed things my husband and friends were eating too. (Both good and bad). I really like how it seems that if you put one…

I have used it in the past and have know a few people have substantial weigh loss. I would not recommend it if you have under 50 lbs only because it is a rapid weight loss pill. I used it twice in the past and really liked the results I had. You need to be sure if you do use it to still eat regularly small meals and be…
