Someone that wants / needs to lose weight is not the same as the issue OP is dealing with. People that have eating disorders (whether it be emotional or physical is irrelevant). I want to lose weight however I do not have emotional ties to food. I want to lose weight because for years I was lazy and ate the wrong food. I…

100 crunches - ohh helll no LOL !! - I have seen it too and have it on my desktop saved...never tried it as of yet not sure I ever will. And I agree..unless this is the first exercise you do and the first week of dieting and you have lots to lose..then 10 is steep!

I leave Saturday for ours :) Not tracking anything except my steps which fitbit will do. Been at this a year - i am soooo taking a break :) I will make some sensible choices and then some not so sensible. I fully intend to enjoy myself!! I do not drink so I will not have a load of alcohol calories (or bill lol)...:) I say…

I think we all get that at some point. I do not allow "cheat days" or meals as I find they trigger a pattern. I still enjoy many things I ate before - just in moderation and sometimes alternatives so I do not get annoyed with the diet part. But logging / measuring...oh ya some days I say to myself WTF..I am sick of doing…

I used to love pop corn for that reason - lots of with low calorie. I have not had it in several months lol My fave snacks that are filling to me - not necessary keeping my hands busy all though eaten slow..it does work...Ostrim Snack sticks (60 cals) got them on drugstore.com - with 50 calorie cheese stick and Ritz mini…

No - it is literally just when i pull that leg up doing the twist. As soon as I feel it - i drop the leg. So long as the leg is not in that position (during the twist) I can kick - run etc. Weirdest thing!! I stopped bringing that leg up during the workouts because of this . My other leg is fine during them. As soon as I…

^^^ This and all the other quackery that he represents!!!! Also - misleading nutritional labels which I am now learning about. Small amounts of variance allowed by the government can impact the bottom line when that item is used alot! :/ People on FB who post how often they are at the gym and what they did...every…

It took awhile before I went to my next pants size when i first started. I basically started in february of 2013 and did not switch down a size until june / july of 2013. Granted at the end of June - they were falling off of me lol However before that point the next size did not fit right yet. Went from 16 to 14 I then did…

I do not burn as much with the Xbox as I did the DVD set..however I think there are different ones. The one I had - you stopped too much to move on to the next one which in the end lost time :/

Why are you weighing yourself before & after? Pick a day a week (preferably in the AM as soon as you get up without eating / drinking but after going to the bathroom) You hold onto water when working out BTW :) Not only from what you drank but also your body repairing
-
My scale out weighs the importance of the others!! I use cups for liquids - ms spoon only to measure powdered creamer - other than that everything goes on the scale :)

Lay flat on cookie sheet - spray with butter - lightly season with garlic powder & salt..broil till tender..then slap on a piece of either Sargento 40 Calorie Swiss or a slice of Fat free american - broil a second or two longer to melt cheese YUM!!! My kids love this too!!

I used the Zumba Exhileration DVD set to lose the majority of my weight :) There is a pic in my profile pictures that shows my waist & some back flab lol - before & after. It was from Feb 2013 to July 2013 http://dakd0cjsv8wfa.cloudfront.net/images/photos/507/735/38507735_4994.jpg

LOL it is a learning process FOR SURE!!!! When I first walked away from the 1200 - I used TDEE-% method which I found after days of sorting through the boards. This method was amazing for a long time - so long as your work outs are consistent. If they vary then it is not such a good thing. here are two links if you are…

MFP does not take into account any added exercise. So they set your calorie goal according to how you set it up (lose 1 pound - 2 pounds etc combined with your lifestyle (active, sedentary etc) - when you add exercise you enter that into your diary and it is recommended to eat at least half of those calories back. From…

I agree - try to stay above your BMR. I have days where I may fall under due to running around however they are far in between and not by much. When you raise your calories it does feel like "too much" however above your BMR is worth it in the long run :)
-
certain foods can affect the color as well as vitamins. High protein and hormones can have an effect..sadly so can infections. If all you drink is water besides the two coffees - i would see a Dr personally as it does not hurt to discuss it to rule out any issues. I drink a whole lot of coffee but as soon as I hit my water…
-
Thank you tons!! That will no doubt come in handy!!! I think using that will be more accurate than any online calculator lol
-
Thanks guys - I find I underestimate my calories sometimes and over estimate others so I need to be a bit more accurate and then calculate "my own" TDEE instead of using calculators. They all say something different right now. I do not over / under estimate my food so much that it makes an impact on my losses I actually…

"some" not most....My best friend is thin as a rail and is the laziest person I know!!! Doesn't work - nor does she cook or clean. I call her Princess!! She has been a size 0 since middle school - had two kids and is still thin as a rail. Genetics - her Mother, her twin and a quarter of her family are the same.... Disagree…

I second this lol

Everyone's burn will be different as others have mentioned - if it makes you feel any better except on double days - i never get past 250 for a burn from T25 ;)
-
I usually have the same thing every day :/ Easier - fills me - so I stick to it. Tyson chicken breast - using up coupons lol when they are gone will switch to regular skinless boneless breast - a pear - and I have this with either a Caesar salad or broccoli / spinach I thin I have been eating this for lunch Mon - Fri for 6…

My weight loss fluctuates. I understand being discouraged as I have busted my behind all week - tracked as precisely as humanly possible and then only lose .4.... I have now come to realization - a loss is a loss anyway you look at it! Some months I may hit 5 pounds loss - some months only 2. As long as the scale & OR the…

Genetics blah!!! There is not a petite person in my family!! However know what they ALL have that I do not?!?!? A freaking set of boobs!! Real boobs not ant mounds :/ I have had two pregnancies - singleton and twins...I have worn the same cup size bra since high school! Pregnancies making no difference. But you know what…

I am with Shannon - Love Fit bit. I have the zip. I have used body media however hated it on my arm. Used it through fall & winter as soon as spring came I could not deal with it anymore! The Zip fits on my bra or my waist and no one ever sees it :) My battery died once while I was working and could not get a replacement…

ugh!! Ya Steroids are awful!! Are you still on them?? If so how long do you think you will have to continue taking them? Maybe concentrate on maintaining with a few bonus losses until they are done. This way you do not stress over it.
