Wow, I dont know really what to say there. Maybe just do what your doing for a week and see what the scale says. If you loose then id say its working for ya. I wish I could help ya out more. Good luck.

For real??? The diebetic institue??? Thats crazy. Do they feel guilty? haha

Take a can of soda, poor it into your toilet and watch it eat away stains and clean the toilet. Can you image what it does to your body after seeing that? For real, try it. It would make you sick. It did me. :sick:

I feel better about it all now hahah I just came across an article that said to much fiber can cause blockage and kill you and I totally snapped! I freaked out! hahah but yes it all comes from whole grains since im on the "Carb Lovers Diet" I eat lots of whole grains and fruits and veggies. No protien shakes. I sorta…

Well for a standard rule for a female around 150 pounds she burns approximately 8 cals a min. Yes MFP is higher but its pretty close in alot of their recordings. The reason I suggest and I do eat my cals back are for this statement... If your having a bon fire, you have to feed it wood in order to keep burning. Same goes…

Agreed. i think she says it best here.

I was going to suggest American Eagle since they are my fav jeans. The other jeans I have that are a good fit is Vigoss. I still prefer AE. I have one pair of Hollister Jeans and they fit everywhere except length! If your tall then they may work for ya.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I eat enough cals back to keep my NET cals above 1200 and I lose everyweek. I walk 5 miles and that burns around 515 for me and I generally eat 400 of them back. Your metabolism need fuel (just like fire need wood to keep burning) to keep burning. Everyone is different and their bodies work differently but this is my…

What are crisps? Ok well I guess it doesnt really matter. But if they are like chips or wafers or something then just eat the recommended serving. I love sun chips or any kind of chips and for a snack once a day I would have one ounce which was the serving size. If that is something you love and can not really give up then…

1290 seems ok for a jumpstart week, and a week only. To much restriction isnt good. Mine is 1400 and with walking every singel day and eating all those cals back, I still lose a good pound a week. I read an article once and ill try to find it that a womans min base for cals a day is 1200 and for a man 1800. Not real sure…

And no I am not in the bathroom all the time. Its completely normal. This is what blows my mind and makes me think it is ok, but just thought id ask to be on the safe side.

Good for you! Its nice to be able to notice just the small stuff that no one else would really see. I know this sounds silly but you know when your standing and the thighs meet at the groin area, mine DO NOT touch anymore!!!! You can see straight thru them hahahah I know no one else would notice that but for me and my…

Im always at around 100 sugars a day but it all comes from whole grains and fruits and veggies. If its not the processed or added sugars I wouldnt worry to much. I still lose around a pound a week on that much sugar a day. But I do balance it out with lots of good carbs to slow the process down and lots of fiber. Carb…

I eat 2 quesadillas for lunch everyday and its 380 made with 4 shells black beans cheese and salsa... I know you didnt have taco bell but for one of theirs is 580 and you know Taco Bell would have the worst cal count for that item so I would go on safe side and say 500 :) Hope this helps but if it were me I would base it…

If I had an extra 550.... I would add an extra snack during the day I have granola bars with a cup of yogurt thats around 300. Then for the other 250 just increase your lunches and dinners with a peice of fruit and call it good.

No 0.9 lbs :) almost a pound a week is what my loss is. Sometimes a little less and sometimes a little more I wish it was 9 lbs in one week hahaha :)

Sure I think Egg whites would be fine. maybe use 3 then? Just a guess. :)

yaaaaa! Good choice! My 4 year old has his teeny tiny batman costume on right now hahaah Oh and even some pj's have capes that attatch to the back as well that works great. Good luck!

hehe I do have pasta once a week but I limit it to a cup to cup and half. As long as it is carbs from fruits and whole grains, then no worries :) Balance it out with lots of fiber :)

I checked my sugars on a good day of healthy eating and I was almost at 100. But in the last week I lost .9 pounds so id say it really depends on the person I guess. Mine all come from fruits and veggies and I have high fiber and high good carbs. If you balance it all out id say your fine. This is just me though, sometimes…

Yes always eat back your cals to make you at a NET of 1200 or starvation will hit you! Im surprised you have not gained from it. I do 5 miles on weekends and one day thru the week and teh other 4 days I do 3 miles. Today I did 5 miles and burned 515 cals I think... I ate 400 of them back to put me at 1240 NET cals. Before…

If your sugars are coming from good foods and your not diabetic then your ok. I go over on sugar by ALOT!!!! Im still losing weight. I even eat a banana every morning and sometimes for a snack too. So no worries, I think your ok.

If its all the good carbs then stick with what your doing. You need carbs and if its coming from fruits and veggies then your on the right track! I eat over 200 carbs a day and its all from whole grains and fruit and im losing weight. Today I have had 280 and again all from the good foods and im losing weight still :) I…

I like the greek plain with some honey and I eat it with a Kashi chewy granola bar for my snacks. Activia was never one I really cared for.

Are you making sure that your NET cals are above 1200??? Maybe even measure yourself all over. Could be your losing inches and fat turning to muscle (since muscle weighs more than fat) so you do not see the scale move but clothes lose maybe???

Same happens to me everytime I diet and exercise. Increase fiber. Fiber will back fire with bloating and gas if you do not push tons of water. Plus going from low fiber to high fiber will take your body a good week to adjust to anyways. Just keep up the high fiber (I get around 50 a day) and drink lots of water ( I take in…

LOL OMG LOL

hahaah when I thought nothing else could make me laugh today, I read this WOW!!! LOL!!!! Then I guess I will openly admitt I have a mental disorder. Anyone know of any support groups for people like me? hahaah my goodness iv heard it all!

Hey SFG, I knew about this ahead of time so here are my goals... I wanna walk 7 days a week. 5 miles on weekends and 2 miles during the week. I walk with Leslie Sansone so it makes it easy to track for me. Water, im with you sfg, I wanna go for 9 a day. Ok, ill log back here in a week and let you all know how faithful I…
