1oz of light rum (barcadi) has 60 cal for an oz....is the 100 calorie drink (rum and diet) for 1 1/2 oz shot? In an 8oz glass that's a strong drink! For me anyway! :drinker:

I'm really happy you posted this. You're right. It took me 1 1/2 years to gain 30lbs (back) and only 3 months to lose it! Although, I think people mean harder as in you can't just sit around and eat whatever you want. You have to actively watch what you eat and exercise...so in that respect I think it is harder sometimes…

Great job! I hope I have that kind of willpower on my upcoming vacations!
-
I agree with chillie99....the chicken with mushrooms is really good and I think that one is only around 450 total! Enjoy!
-
My victory today is I've had fruit and veggies already today! Yay! Plus, this morning I weigh myself and I went over the 30lbs lost mark! :bigsmile: I'm feeling like a rockstar today! :laugh: Funny about the biggest loser....my company was doing a Biggest Loser team challenge and we just had our last weigh in today!
-
You're a braver woman then I am! My husband (been together 8 years, married almost 6) doesn't know what I weigh. I'm sure he has a pretty good idea because he knows my goal weight and how much I want to lose (just do the math, right?) but I have never once said the # out loud to him! :blushing: Maybe it's time to get over…

SO, FORGIVE yourself for yesterday and get right back on track! I'm learning that's the key to NOT giving up like all the other times! I went over my calories yesterday by 221 and fat by 11 grams and that was with TRYING to be good! Stupid easter candy and PIE! BUT....I still managed to lost 2lbs this last week! One day or…
-
I've seen this prompt...the 1st time I went with their suggestions, which took away 280 calories a day and also some fat,carbs, and protein accordingly. The 2nd time though I didn't change it cause I was losing 2lbs a week doing what I was doing and didn't feel like I needed less calories. If you're already at 1200…
-
I just got out of a week or so like this. I was really sick and my husband hurt his back and neither of us wanted to work out or cook much. It's hard work sometimes but don't give up! I have to ask, did you weigh yourself on Monday or even Sunday right after the 2 binge days? If that's the case it doesn't really seem…
-
I usually weigh myself 2 twice a week but I also have an official weigh in day (Wednesdays). Usually I cave before the week is up and weigh myself on Sun or Mon just to see where I'm at. I've notice that if I go a little overboard on Sat or Sun if I exercise and watch it I'll be down by Wed.
-
I think I usually eat about 180g. I'm thinking about trying to lower them again though (I already did once since starting with MFP). I've heard about a lot of research lately that carbs are the devil, especially for women. Obviously I don't mean that no one should ever eat a carb again (I already did this morning) but it…

It sounds like your body is starving! No offense, I'm sure that's not what you're trying to do but if you're only eating 1200 calories a day and then exercising 1200 calories a day that means your body is getting NOTHING! It can't survive on nothing so it holding on for dear life to the fat that you have and the scale…
-
It's hard work somedays to stay motivated! Believe me I totally understand! Just remember that one day of "blah" doesn't ruin everything! If there are days that you are sick or "mess" up you haven't ruined everything. I've had nights that have been chicken wings and beer nights with my friends (luckily not many). I force…
-
I have the same issue....I'm over in one or the other. Mostly it seems to be protein though so I actually went into the settings and upped my protein and lower my carbs. (Each by just 5%) It seems to be working ok and I'm consistantly losing weight every week. It might be an idea!
-
Great job! It feels SO good to accomplish these goals. Keep up the good work!
-
I LOVE that I did 3 miles on the eliptical at a jogging pace without stopping! And I love that I'm finally getting to the point that I'm hearing..."Are you losing weight?" :smile:
-
I haven't lost much for inches yet either. I feel like I'm doing everything right and I feel strong/better then I did 24lbs ago but I've only lost maybe 3-4 inches and I know it should be more.
-
Hey, fancy seeing you here...:laugh: I saw your post and had to reply. I love this place...on here pretty much every day and we'll be here to support you always! I recommend looking through some of the success stories...so inspriation to see people that have lost 50, 75, 100+ pounds without diet pills or crazy crash diets!…

Wouldn't water aerobics be a good way to exercise? My gym has a water aerobics class 2-3 times a week! My mom does water aerobics because she has bad knees (one replacement and waiting for a 2nd) and she loves it! I've done it a few times before to with my mom and it is actually a decent workout! Adding...a lot of…
-
Hey, I finally found my way back here! :laugh: I was starting to feel a little dense there. Well, this past week just felt so-so but I guess I pulled it off!! -1.8lbs Hoping for a FULL 2 lbs for next week!
-
Ok, now I'm confused. It says that my BMR is 1,820 calories a day (or 1829 on the other site)...MFP has my intake set at 1640 cal. per day and actually "suggested" I lower it again now that I've lost some weight. Does this mean I should be eating more? I have still been consistantly losing weight at about 2 lbs a week for…
-
It does get hard! I had that problem after a weekend getaway even! You're probably going to be hungry (more then usual) the next few days but you just have to push yourself through it. Have a LITTLE treat that makes you feel better but not before filling up on good food! Plus, down a big glass of water before you start! By…
-
:laugh: I definitely understand! I am wearing pants today that 2 months ago would have been cutting off my cirulation by now. Can't wait until my belly stops jiggling so dang much! It's really annoying when I'm on the eliptical! :grumble: Keep up the great work!
-
Is it too late for me to join? I've been on MFP for 2 months now and would love to get into something to keep me motivated! My weigh in day is also Thursday (today) and I lost 3 pounds! <--Can't even believe it!! Goals -Lose 10 pounds by the end of March -Hit the gym AT LEAST 3 days a week
-
34 lbs in 2 months?! That AMAZING! Great job!
-
Good for you, getting back on track! I have to agree with CasperO...you must be retaining at least a few pounds in water because you would have been eating 9,000+ calories a day to gain 6 lbs. I've notice restaurant food has a lot of sodium so hit the gym and drink LOTS of water and I bet you'll have it off in no time! I…
-
That is so great! I'm sure you're going to feel SO good about "flying"! Just the fact that you CAN do it and a few months ago it would have been " I can't". Now it's I CAN all the way!! :bigsmile:
-
WATCH OUT for calories for out to eat foods! From what I've heard the Quesdilla burger is 1440 calories for one burger! Applebee's doesn't publish their nutrition info for a reason!! An appetizer sampler is 124g of fat, a chicken tender basket is 1000 calories and 60g-70g of fat, I think. It's all poison except maybe the…
-
I totally agree. I feel like I can eat most of the day and still stay witin my calorie goals and lost weight. The days I exercise I don't even know what to do with myself. My husband and I are both on MFP doing this together and it was an adjustment at 1st. You do have to eat smart or your calories are gone in no time but…
-
That's funny, I was just talking to my husband about this last week. I can't wait til I'm "overweight" too! :laugh: Keep up the good work!
