My calorie goal is 1650, and to be exact, my breakfast was 1322 calories. It was a late breakfast, so I didn't try to eat anything for lunch. I did have an Atkins granola bar for a snack. So I'm sitting at 1522 calories right now for the day. My diary is open if anyone wants to take a look. I wouldn't mind any additional…

I just ordered the book "New Rules of Lifting for Women". I've heard a lot about it on here and in a couple of other forums, and it sounds like it should help with exactly what you are talking about. I don't know much about free weights either, but I know that the strength training can only help. A quote from the…

I've been eating the Atkins chocolate chip granola bars for a morning snack. Although not "technically" a protein bar, they have 16 grams of protein and are only 3 net carbs. And they are really yummy, and under $7 for a box of 5!

I started my journey at 290 pounds, and I have been doing the 30 Day Shred 2-4 days a week. A couple of things to keep in mind... If your knees and ankles can't take the jumping jacks, do a step-touch side to side with the arm movements. This will keep you moving and be MUCH lower impact. Do the modified moves shown in the…

I'm not currently including either one in my everyday diet, but when I do indulge, it depends on my mood. Blueberry toaster strudel is my fave when I want a strudel. When I want a Pop-Tart, it's an unfrosted strawberry with butter on top! I can't believe nobody else has even mentioned the unfrosted Pop-Tarts!!!

I'm 5'7". My starting wait one month ago was 285. My Ultimate Goal Wait is somewhere around 140. I remember I was around 130 but a "skinny fat" when I got pregnant with my daughter 17 years ago. I would like to eventually get back to that size, but be more toned and fit. Right now though, I will be happy getting to…

I just ate at Olive Garden last night. The Lobster Cannelloni with Shrimp is what I had. It's 510 calories, so not totally out there. Everything is kind of high in carbs. I had no breadsticks and ate the salad with the dressing. I also had a cocktail and still only ended up at 930 Calories for my entire dinner. I ate every…

I want to join in! I had already decided to measure the last Sunday of every month. Here are my numbers copied and pasted from my blog. I think the only thing I am missing is the mid thigh, so I'll get that this evening... Chest 57 1/2" Under Bust 45" Natural Waist 51 1/2" What I Call Waist (at the belly button) 55" Drop…

I have been doing the 30 DS, and I have a bum knee. I have been modifying things a little. During the jumping jacks, I do my arms and "step-touch" side to side. During the butt kicks, I march or do more of the "step-touch". That way, it's a lot lower impact on my knees, but I still keep moving. I'm just getting started and…

This is what I decided to do from the onset. I just started this journey in the past couple of weeks. The only reason it shows 4 pounds lost is because I estimated when I first signed up with MFP. In the past, I have become really discouraged at the little to no difference on the scale when I was weighing weekly, and…

I have fought with this one before and this is the best "well-balanced" pizza I have come up with. I use the whole wheat pizza crusts that you can buy at Walmart. Top it with all natural pizza sauce, fat free cheddar, low fat or fat free mozzarella, and then I add fresh veggies, turkey sausage, and turkey pepperoni. This…

Thanks for the input!!! I had already felt like I needed to do better with the protein, but you clarified that for me. I do worry that I am not getting enough calories some days. But I feel like I eat and eat and eat. Any suggestions for additional, lower sodium protein sources besides the usual meats, beans and nuts? I…

The last time I started on this journey, I used The Biggest Loser Boot Camp dvd. It was great! It was a good workout and even at 250 pounds, I could manage all the moves with only slight modification. The Boot Camp dvd is missing, so I'm not using it now. I went back to eating crap and being a couch potato and have…

Would really love some input here folks! Thanks!
