I did not have a set activity amount when I set up my parameters, everyday when I log my activity I can choose to eat back those calories or not when they are added to my daily balance. If it is a day that I have worked hard and feel that I need them I eat them, if it is a day that I feel like I won't miss those calories…

I only do slim fast shakes when I am running out the door and have no time for actual food, it is not something that I should live on and so I do not make it my mainstay, but occasionally I do it so that I am not swinging into McDonalds or something when I just don't have the time to cook.

Feel free to add me, 47 mother of one (out of the house).

olive oil with salt and roast in oven or put it in a quiche

I love: Twinings Lady Grey Black tea with Mountain Berry mixed in Ginger

Instead of buying lunch meat I look my own meat and make the sandwiches, there are no preservatives and it only has in it what I put in it.

I have not lost a lot of weight yet, but what I have lost has never come off at the gym. I have several videos by various fitness "experts" in various stages of fitness. Even on the days that I do not feel well or have not slept well and don't want to do anything I can because I have walking videos to at least be moving,…

I LOVE PISTACHIOS and sadly they give me a very horrible stomach ache, no other nut does that and I like them all but really love those pistachios. But I guess it could be worse my daughter has an intolerance to dairy, I would have to cut out like half of my diet if I had that intolerance.

Take measurements, I never do this mostly because I just never get around to it but I know it is very meaningful to a lot of people especially when they are not seeing a scale victory. When you say that you eat at a deficit how much of a deficit are we talking? If you starve your body it will hold onto everything and not…

feel free to add me, everyone needs friends here to help them along their journey.

I will tell a good friend who will not let me quit and who will bug me about doing what I need to do. Surround yourself with people who are doing the same thing so they can encourage you along the way and sometimes drag you kicking and screaming :noway:

I have lost weight by walking, I would use a video in my living room and it was 3 miles a day. It came off slowly but was coming off, I did switch to something more active because it was coming off to slowly.

interesting, I had mine out so many years ago and I was wondering about digestive troubles because I seemed to have so many of them after that. I will have to research this more now.

I am from more southern WI, but you can add me, it is nice to have others from just a couple hours away.

you did not fail, you turned it on and actually worked at it, that is not failing. I have done her videos and they are not easy in the beginning. Keep working at it and you will finish it and you will do it in correct form, it might be hard now but it will improve. REMEMBER: YOU GOT UP OFF OF THE COUCH AND DID THE WORKOUT,…

You should take the next week and write down 5 things everyday that you like about your body. Keep a running list and post it. It could include your eyes, hair, ears, ankles, whatever, it does not matter if you like the fact that you have less backfat than before, it is your list. This will help you focus on the positives…

Good idea to use this site to its full potential and to get help from others, it is harder to do alone.

Azurastar, I am glad that you are losing the weight that you wanted. There is no harm in trying something different as long as we watch how our bodies react to what we do. If this is working for you then go for it, use it as a tool as we would anything else for weight loss. Everyone's path is different and only you will…

I have never heard of the 5:2 diet, from your conversations it sounded like you eat 5 days and fast 2 days. Can someone please explain.

the serving is in the left part of the box and you will put your portion in with decimal. It says 1.0, so if you only at 3/4 you would put .75, half would be .50 and so on.

you are welcome to add me

If you need friends you can add me.

I have no trouble getting in my 1200 cal. I have more trouble actually staying within that, you might think about treating yourself a little, I think LITTLE treats are good for us, unless there is some reason you can't have them.

I am not a fan of breakfast food, so really for me if you can eat it for lunch or dinner I am happy for it for breakfast as well. None of it seems weird to me.

Feel free to add me, I always need more friends.

I cook my quiche in a pie pan with or without the crust.

I live in southern Wi, you can add me if you like, I always need new friends.

thanks for the ideas

You will lose some in your chest, but everyone is different and so it would be hard for anyone to tell you just what to expect, you should still remain bigger than most on top but not as big as before. some of it will depend on your body but I do wonder if you could alter some with certain types of exercises or weights?…

Hi, I think we could all use encouragement and friend, anyone respectful and kind can feel free to add me
