  • question. did you set your calorie goal yourself? i'm almost wondering if that might be a bit too low? but idk... If MFP figured that for you then I guess its okay ...afterall, you are only 100 below my goal of 1200 and MFP set that for me!! It's always a big debate on the forum as to eat or not eat your exercise calories.…

  • NO!! not at all!! but if you were going over by 100 or more that would be a different story! MFP has that goal set kinda low for women...I think only 20 or 25%, but you can go in and manually bump it up to 30% if seeing 'red' in that category bumbs you out. I had to do that. Protein and Fiber are your friends!!
    in Is it considered bad to go over... Comment by mama_mia3 March 2011
  • I've actually gone into my "settings" and increased my protein intake from what MFP set me up with. They had me at 20% protein and I bumped it to 30%. When I was at what MFP set up I found I was hungry ALL THE TIME during the day, and with the higher limit for myself NOW, I'm not. I've made it a personal goal for myself to…

  • I weighed in at 250 and wore a size 22/24 comfortably on a good day, not so comfortably on a bad bloat day. BUT!! there is hope to get around that "inbetween" size syndrome. When I was pregnant with my third the thought of going out to buy a new wardrobe was a nightmare, so I invested in a couple "Bella Bands". They are…

  • Are you eating at a nice sit down restaurant? a buffet style restaurant? or a fast food joint? You'll be surprised at how well you can handle yourself in these kinds of situations...especially if you are 100% committed to staying on track. It would be wise just to browse through the food database and just click on foods to…
    in Eating out Comment by mama_mia3 March 2011
  • That's EXACTLY how I plan to use it!! I stuggle so bad with keeping my protein up to where it needs to be along with keeping sodium and carbs down. Some days I need the boost, and there's just some days I am so on the go that I don't have a full half hour to devote to meal prep and cooking...expessially since I am the only…

  • well? If you're balls to the wall serious about weight loss and a healthy lifestyle, you'll give up the weekend drinking. If it's just something you're not willing to sacrifice, then I'd need to get used to only drinking those Mgd 64 beers. But realistically? which do you want more? a healthy weight or a party? cuz in my…

    in Is anyone else scared of the dreaded dangly tummy? Comment by mama_mia3 March 2011
  • Honestly...and it may be just me and I know I've only been here a little over a month, but I don't think it's right to only eat when you're hungry. My weight gain was due to only eating when I was hungry which was maybe twice a day, if that...it was even healthy food, but it didn't matter. My metabolism became virtually…
    in Eating only when hungry challenge!!! Comment by mama_mia3 February 2011
  • Same here!! I cut it out completely and it was easier than I thought it would be. Had just a couple headaches from the withdrawl (because I would drink like 6 cans, or equivalent to that, in one day), but Exedrine nipped that in the bud fairly quick and I have at least a cup of coffee in the morning before I start anything…

Here's something I did a lot with my kids, but I've never really measured anything to know what the calorie intake would be...i didn't give a *kitten* back then...lol.

  • I think you look fantastic. Some people will never be satisfied to just be happy for you. They will always find fault and cast judgement on others. Some people are jealous that you are actually succeeding where they themselves and most have failed and will ultimately put you down for it. They'll either remark that you're…

  • The joke I started the thread with was simply this: I bought a digital, talking scale. When I stepped on to weigh myself it said, "One person at a time, please". At least I got a good workout with the baseball bat after that.... That's funny. I thought it was funny. Wanted to share a giggle. Didn't see in harm in that, but…

  • I kinda look at my "post workout snack" as an energy filler rather than a calorie filler...for me it's a mind game. I've been struggling myself eating all of my calories even without my workout cals added back in. I'm not eating junk during my meals by any means and what I have been eating is conciderable low calorie…
