  • The only thing that helped my husband is eating activia every day.
  • I think it's 2,000-2,400. Since I do not have any blood pressure problems I eat 2,000 generally, but if I go over I don't really worry. Generally mine is not over 1,500 though.

  • Well, MGD Light has only 54 calories. That is the lowest calorie beer I can find (not a great beer, but whatever). I haven't drank yet on this diet, but I know I will be Saturday and I am going to cut back and then let lose, I haven't given myself any kind of break in almost 5 weeks.
  • Yes, that would be nice. I just see what is from fruits and subtract it from the total.
  • Well MGD light has 64 calories a beer as well as low in carbs. It's the lowest in calories that I can find!
  • I just came from my doctor today and she told me to not worry about sugar in fruit. I only count the refined sugars I ate (bread, milk, ceral, etc).
  • It's actually chefmd.com........

  • Well, 16oz is a pound... So it might've been really close.
  • That is included when you tell them what kind of job you have. I would say that is a very light job activity though, not like nurses/waiters but more than a desk job. So whatever that choice is (I think nurses are lower than waiters, but it depends on what kind of nursing you do, LOL, not that it matters for your…
  • Starting stats: Re-joined (oops) MFP weight: 260 Current weight: 248.4 (yes, I need to know the .whatever, LOL) Labor Day goal: 228 Pounds per week to lose: 2.2 Final weight goal: 136 Down to 234.6!!!!!!!! I might have to move my goal from 228 to 220 or something, since I seem to be doing so well! However I am off of work…
  • I am down to 234.6! I really think with Halloween being 14 weeks away still I can possibly hit my 210 goal! That would be AMAZING!
  • So I weighed myself today and I have lost 25 pounds! That means I *only* have 99 to go! Which puts me down 1/5 of the way, and IT'S UNDER 100 POUNDS TO LOSE! YAY!!!! I know I'd be happy to hit this goal, really motivates me to keep going! :happy:
  • Yeah, Diet coke and vodka (the lowest calorie drink I can find minus the 64 calorie beer) is called the Skinny B*tch.
  • Well, after 5+ years of dating (we started dating at 16, so we wanted to wait until we had our degrees) he proposed during the sunset on a cruise we were on. Just perfect. Congrats!!!!
  • Do you normally weigh yourself later in the day? I find that I lose about 3 pounds from when I go to bed until I wake up. I know that just sleeping you lose a liter of water.
  • Working out: C Healthy Eating: A- Staying within calories: A+ Motivation: A- (just need to get moving, that is the only thing I am lacking)
  • I am in! By Halloween I want to be> 220 (realistic goal) 210 (stretch goal) I have been 240 (down 20 pounds!!!!) since 7/13! 3 weeks after starting this!
  • Weight this morning> 240 For breakfast I am drinking my Glycem-X drink my doctor prescribed, which has about 130 calories. For lunch I am having watermelon, honeydew, strawberries, nuts and some california blend veggies (maybe a few sprays of "I can't believe it's not butter spray" For dinner I am having a turkey sandwich.…
  • Nuts are really good at keeping you full longer and keeping your metabolism up. Yes, they have a lot of calories and fat, but it's the good kind. Seriously. I don't know if you care or not, but Dr. Oz talks a lot about nuts and why they're sooo good for you. I will bring some sort of sandwich, nuts, 100 calorie pack…

  • I know that pregnancy causes sagging skin because the skin stretches so big so fast. I also know being overweight for a long time (7+ years I believe) can cause skin to sag. Also, the older you are the more likely your skin will sag. But what if you have been overweight for 6 years, and only obese for 3 years, no kids and…
  • Hmm. I used to drink pop at the movies and when eating out (which was all the time) but never at home. I haven't in well over 3 weeks and I don't even miss it. I have never trusted artificial sweeteners anyway, doesn't seam "natural" lol.
  • I am in!!!! I really want to be down 40 by Christmas.
  • I have 104 of 124 left to lose. WE CAN DO THIS!!!!! :happy:
  • I am now down to 240!!!! 12 pounds to go for ldc! Which is 1.7lbs a week.
  • I just bought one this week, awesome! however, my doctor said she went to a seminar about them and found that they best kind are Omron and it needs to be more than $15. Because they seem to be the best giving you "real" steps. Some are sensitive to the clothes that you wear, and some go off on a bump in the road while in a…
  • Their new Garlic Herb chicken is actually really good. And it only has 370 calories. I ate half there and brought the other half home for the next day.
  • I personally believe a calorie is a calorie no matter what. My husband and I both get home from work around midnight and we eat dinner then. Of course we don't go to bed until 2am, but I have not had any problem losing weight. However, I do not eat "breakfast" until 11am. So our hours are off by a bit, lol. Working…
  • So, my husband and I are finally off on the same day. So we decided to walk to block buster and rent a movie for tonight, and on the way home buy our groceries for the week. All in all it took us 2 hours, and it was just over 3 miles (would've been a lot less, but the shopping took a while). Man, I feel good! I also want…
