I'm in! I've fallen off the wagon and haven't made any real progress since October, hopefully I'll see results! Ultimate Starting Weight: 159 Challenge Starting Weight on Easter (April 21): April 26: May 3: May 10: May 17: May 24: May 31: June 7: June 14: June 21: June 28: July 4:

Consistent weight loss? Months. I was making process in May and I had one weekend where I had 4 parties in 24 hours and I gained 2 pounds overnight. I knew I ate over my a goal, but I didn't even eat anywhere close to 7000 over maintenance. In late June/early July when instarted working out with a trainer more I was losing…

I assure you that I weigh most everything and look at serving sizes. For example, the sargento cheese slices has a serving size of 3 slices but I only had 2 of them, or .67 servings. I also know things like meat "shrinks" when it cooks so I make 3 cooked ounces a serving. If I eat at home I weigh everything, unless it's…

Diary is open. i thought i did it yesterday. I know the basics of weight loss. I've lost weight before using this method but it's not working for me now. I've maintained before at 2000 so 1400 shouldn't be maintaince for me

I don't eat exercise calories back, I eat about 1400-1500 total calories every day.

I don't really drink alcohol since I don't know the calories in it, I typically have about 2 drinks a month. I keep my calorie drinking to a minimum. I try to get at least 100 grams of protein a day, so protein is not an issue. I weigh almost everything I eat in grams so I know how much I'm having. Throughout the day I…

I use my scale about 2-4 times a day. The only thing I have to weigh at breakfast is my Greek yogurt. I tend to weigh about 3 items at lunch, but I get interrupted sometimes and have to turn the scale on and off and tare it. Dinner is when I weigh the most foods and there is almost always an interruption so I'm turning it…

That's what I'm really considering now. I don't have a really strong computer background, such a coding or programming, but the whole logistics of running an office or hospital efficiently and seeing where improvements can be made really interest me. Do you work with anyone with a master's in it? What do they do?

I've worked in a daycare for the past four years. We've had some kids with different emotional/physical/behavioral abilities. So I've learned how to work with them while taking care of multiple other children as well. I've also cared for my cousin with Down syndrome, volunteered with Special Olympics, and I'm doing an…

That's really difficult to do. My roommate is allergic to nuts and we have searched everywhere for a protein bar without nuts. So far we haven't found any in stores, only through online searches, they are; Detour chocolate chip caramel and Clif chocolate chip builder's bar. The Detour bar is 170 calories with 15 g of…

I went to a fitness class at my school, all by myself. I'm rather shy in new situations, and I've never really been to a fitness class before. I went to a small bootcamp session with my dad, but there was only two other people. So going by myself was something I was VERY uncomfortable doing. I'm glad I went, I really…

Water, plain water. I love it, it helps me feel full, tastes good, it's calorie free, and good for you. I never liked the fizzy taste of soda, and the only I can manage to drink soda is if I mix it with alcohol, and even then I prefer other drinks.

You need to readjust your macro levels. You're on an very high protein, but low carb and fat diet and it's just not feasible at that calorie level. It looks like you're trying to get 169 g of protein, 45 g of fat, and 68 g of carbs a day. Lower your protein macro and increase carbs and fat a bit to make your diet doable.…

I started gaining a bit of weight around 5th grade, so 10 years old. The weight really started piling on when I was in 6th grade. I was home alone everyday for the first time so I had bigger snacks since no one was around to tell me I couldn't. The school lunches were also "good", there were some days when I had pizza,…

If it's not apart of your daily schedule then I would log it as exercise. I put my activity level as lightly active because my normal day includes a fair amount of walking on campus with a heavy backpack and during my free time I'm not always sitting. When I go to the gym, mow the lawn, ride a bike for a few hours, etc. I…

Thanks, I used a question about "sometimes" food. I haven't been around elementary aged kids in a while, so it's a bit difficult knowing what concepts would be age appropriate. I also asked about serving sizes, some kitchen safety and minerals (really calcium). Does this sound like a good list? .

Really high in carbs? The highest one according to the website only has 26g and most of that is from fiber. I eat Pure Protein bars a lot and those only have about 20g of carbs. What kind of protein bars are you eating, do they actually have a substantial amount of protein?

I also thought that flavored Greek yogurt would be a good way to get calories and protein into him. My mom just got off the phone with him and he's just eating his first meal of the day at noon. Considering he gets up by 7 he really doesn't need to be skipping breakfast. Is there anything that can stimulate an appetite?

I'm looking at the website right now and there's a list of flavors down the page. Per the website: Vanilla almond crunch Chocolate peanut butter Apple pie Cinnamon roll Chocolate brownie Strawberry cheesecake Mixed berry Coconut cashew Peanut butter supreme Lemon cream pie Peanut butter & jelly Banana nut muffin Chocolate…

I'm in college 90 miles from home and next week is finals week, so I get to stay here and call my mom and grandma instead, it's too expensive to go home and back for just a few hours. So I'll go to the school's gym when it opens up and probably get a nice little meal or snack from somewhere (ice cream mayhaps?). I'll also…

I had 2 NSV today! My first one I was walking around campus and they had a little fair thing going on, and had Dippin Dots and deep fried oreos. I would've loved to have one of those, but I resisted because I'm saving up for tomorrow for the pub crawl. It supports the local animal shelter and I get discounted drinks, so…

If there are 5 servings at 360 calories each in a pizza then there are 1800 total calories (5×360). Divide 1800 by 8 and you get 225 calories per slice. I would just eat 2 slices for a total of 450 calories (who cuts a pizza into fifths- no one). If you really want to you could have 1.5 slices for 340 but half slices are…

One important piece of information missing is her height, but I'm guess she is on the shorter side. Unless she showed symptoms and characteristics of a eating disorder, then they should have never approached the topic. They should take her heritage into consideration. I'm white and my friend's mom is Korean, we are both…

Anorexics eat about 800 calories a day and that seems to work out for them... But seriously, 2 year olds need 1,000-1,400 calories a day. I think a fully grown adult needs more food than a toddler in order to function.

I would get her into some health education classes, such as nutrition, healthy living, exercise, etc., and into some counseling to get to the root of her problem. If she doesn't receive some proper education and understand why she is struggling with her weight then ultimately surgery won't help her. As for the surgery,…

Learn some self-control. I love Oreos, poptarts, ice cream, peanut butter, chips, etc., but I only have a serving at a time. I would suggest just quitting them for 3 weeks and then see how you feel about them. I bet you can live without them. But if you truly think you can't live without them but can't control yourself,…

If you were eating 1200 calories a day and losing at a rate of 1 lb a week, then that means you were eating under your maintenance calories by 500 calories each day. 1200 + 500 = 1700, so 1700 is your maintenance calories with your very inactive lifestyle. If you did other things during the day, such as walking, cutting…

I'm in college and pay for my own food, so I understand lunch on a budget. Since I like lunch to be my medium meal of the day, I find that a can of Chef Boyardee fills me for about 4 hours. One 400 g can has 1.6 servings in it, so for the most part they are anywhere from 270-400 calories, depending on the variety. I get…

Sorry but you're not going to tone up and lose 10 lbs in just over a month. What's your goal weight? Your goal weight and current weight dictates how much weight you can safely lose a week. Why not just set the settings on here to 1.5 lbs/week and just stick to the budget? As for exercise, just find something that you like…

Yep, I do something every year. But I still need to figure what I'm going to do this year. One year I gave up my snooze button, which was really hard because I love snoozing. I'm thinking I might give up hot water for my showers this year, but I need to figure it out quickly. Anyone else have any ideas?
