Have you gained the 13 poounds since starting with the trainer? Are you gaining weight because your gaining more muscle? Muscle weighs more than fat. What does your trainer have to say? Did your size change? These are all indicators that maybe your body is changing to something new. You can do this so hang in there.

You can do it!! I used to log in a lot everyday. Now it is about 2 or 3 times a day, and I just hit the 250th day of log ins. You will find a good balance and it does get a lot easier. I am with one of the other responders in that I do look at the carbs, fat, and proteins but know it will not be exact everyday and I do…

I eat 1200 filling calories a day. I usually eat a fiber bar and decaf coffe in the morning or a three egg white omelett with mushrooms, onion, and reduced fat cheddar cheese. The bigger breakfasts are usually on the weekends. Lunch varies with either a half a sandwich with salad (no dressing) or cucumbers or something…

I have logged in for 233 days in a row and have taken off 65 pounds and would like to take off another 9 or so. I make it a priority to keep track of what I eat. I set my goal for 1200 calories a day and when I reach it, I am done eating. I don't deprieve myself but have found I am unwilling to spend big calories on some…

40 calorie sugarfree fudgsicle Homemade popcorn-- I use JT white in canola oil with a touch of salt after popping. I figure the amount per cup and eat from 1-4 cups depending on the number of calories I have left or feel like "spending" for the treat. I am a sweet/salty gal so I have the two together.

I do NOT eat back my calories that I burn; however, my exercise usually does not burn more than 200-300 calories on the days I work out which is usually 3-4 times per week. I set my goal at 1200 calories and have lost 51 pounds since January 4. I do weigh out my food on a scale or use a measuring device. I try to eat a…

I ignore the calories I burn and make it a bonus for weight loss. I don't give myself these calories back to eat but my excercise is limited to a very bad knee. My goal is 1200/day. I have found the recumbent cross trainer great for me and you can plug in your weight and it calculates your steps and calories. Today 35…

Aldi's does have some deals. We also went to a local supplier, GFS-Gordon Food Service, and found 2 lb bags of restaurant quality frozen brocolli and frozen cauliflower for $2 each. People shouldn't be afraid of lower nutrients with flash frozen veggies that are picked and frozen within 8-12 hours of the picking. These can…

I find that I usually just need the crunch of something. I have chomped on carrots and celery or made homemade popcorn and just eat the amount I can have for the remaining calories. I often pop white Jolly Time popcorn using canola oil and add a little salt when it's done. A dill pickle is good too. Go for the crunch and…
