2EggsSeparated

Every 5 pounds.

Cat litter and paper goods.

I'm 37, 5"4.75' and currently 159 pounds. I eat between 1700 and 2100 calories per day and I am losing weight. I exercise 6 days a week -- usually some zumba or hip hop abs, and then one of the Jillian Michaels DVDs for a little strength training. Otherwise, i'm a fairly lazy slug.

I know i'm new here, but this has to be a troll, right?

I wonder if people who do cleanses use these too. http://www.verseo.com/detox.html?gclid=CLTbiLX3kLYCFQnznAod3l8A0Q I mean, they have to be as good, if not better then a liquid cleanse, right?

I weigh in on Fridays because that just happens to be the day I started weighing. Also, if I weigh on Friday, it gives me time to flush all the water weight from the previous weekend.

Bump, sounds yummy!

When I was attempting to get a user name that was different from the default real name MFP uses, I tried about 6 different names. All of them were taken. There was a recipe sitting on desk, and the first ingredient was 2 eggs, separated. So, that's that. Had that been taken, my name would have been 3 cups flour (or…

I like to put cottage cheese on top of my salads.

Drool! I never have extra calories left over. I need to stay out of these threads.

You ladies are very inspiring! I hope to join your ranks one day! :)

I can have upwards of a 6 pound difference by the end of the day.

Do you sweat while grocery shopping?

Personally, I don't have a 'time'. Most of my workouts are done after my kids go to bed, so later at night for me. Every now and again, I will workout during the day, but it doesn't happen often.

Blah, blah, blah TL;DR DUDE, pumpkin Pop tarts??? That has got to be one of the worst things I have ever heard of!

Thanks everyone for places to start. All this information is really helpful! Thanks!

You didn't lose 5 pounds of fat. You lost 5 pounds of water. You will gain your 5 pounds of water back about 5 minutes after you are of the 'cleanse'.

I do all the cooking in my house, and for the most part my family has two choices: Take it or Leave it. Don't get me wrong, I let everyone make recommendations, but at the end of the day I have final say. Unless i'm making something that I know my kids won't like (like really spicy) they are going to have to eat what…

My whole adult life I have had problems with depression and self doubt. I have been on just about every type of antidepressant and I have spent a considerable amount of time with a therapist. Honestly, some of my problem really was depression, sometimes it was just pure jealousy and childish behaviour. Having said that, at…

I sat here for a few minutes trying to find a nice way to say this, and I couldn't come up with anything. So I guess i'm just going to say it. Could you possibly cram any more crap into your diet? There is almost nothing healthy about the things you are eating. I really understand that the fast food places are convenient,…

Yes, you should be eating roughly 1400 calories a day (NOT 1200, that's too low) and not eating your exercise cals back.

http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/ According to that calculator, I got a TDEE for you of 1795, and I basically had you in bed or sitting all day.

Also, are you trying to combine the number MFP gave you with some other number you got from somewhere else? Because saying that your daily goal calories is 1200 tells me that you're using the number MFP gave you, and then trying to reconcile it with a number you got from somewhere else.

Sorry, i'm tired.... Yes would eat %20 less calories of your TDEE, and yes your exercise calories would already be figured into that, so no you wouldn't eat them back.

I think you may have your TDEE and your BMR confused. Your BMR is your calorie burn if you couldn't even be bothered to get out of bed everyday (1376 sounds reasonable for that). Your TDEE is your calories burned if you manage to get out of bed and do things like brush your teeth and wave hello to teh neighbor.

Or it could be the fact that you're eating 400 calories some days. You really need to eat. Protein is good for you -- you know, lean meats, eggs and dairy.

I just had the same problem today. I ate all my calories that I would have otherwise because 1) there are still 24 hours in a day even if I did lounge around for a few extra 2) I still exercised today and 3) i'm hungry and I like to eat. :)

I can't help you because I am still trying to figure it out myself. However, the first thing people are going to tell you is to make your diary public so they can see what you are eating.

Wow! How fabulous are you? Great job!

They are, like, a buck. Buy one.
