I agree. I could probably cut some coconut water. Lol otter pops are tiny 15 calories sugar free Popsicles that I give my daughter if she successfully goes potty on her own, if it's hot outside, or she's having a tough teething day and I will usually have a few myself. But I could probably cut those. Coffee mate is a must…

Yeah I kinda let lose. It was a tough weekend. Our dad took his own life about this time a few yeas ago and my brother came over upset and hungry.... So we all just ate together, cried, talked, and watched movies. Sometimes life happens and it's better to just give in. It wasn't a calorie counting type of situation. But I…

Thank you! I'm starting to see that a scale can make a world of a difference. We have one, I just never thought to use it. Lol And thank you! I love that little girl to pieces! She's my pride and joy and whole world all wrapped up in 17 pounds of giggles. Hopefully I can lose this weight so I can have another baby!…

I don't use butter or oil at all. Maybe just a touch to butter the pan for eggs. But I do take 2 omega 3 cod liver oil pills that I suppose do have calories and fat! Everything counts right? Thank you. I hadn't thought of that

I opened my food diary and I'm ready for help and advice! Last week I changed my caloric intake from 1500 to 1200 which is why last week and the weeks before have more calorie consumption. And I had a couple cheat days due to my mamas birthday dinner at all you can eat sushi. And a special meal we have every year in…

I opened it! I figured out how. Thanks!

Thank you. I didn't know MFP gave limits. I very well maybe eating over my limit even though my limit is 1200. It may need to be even lower. I'll look into that.

It was a drum stick. But of course it could have been more than I assumed. I will get a scale.

Most of the food I eat is packaged. As in slim fast shakes, bars, and yogurt. But of course I could still be wrong. I didn't realize my diary was closed. How do I open it?? I of course could be wrong! I don't need any one telling me I'm wrong, I just need friendly help. Cause at the end of the day, I'm the only one beating…

I don't weigh and measure. I drink a slim fast that has 190 calories, I eat a protien bar that has 250 calories neither of these need to be weighed or measured. I do eat edemame usually about a cup and very likely that it could be slightly more or slightly less, but not enough to make a huge difference. A piece of chicken…

I'm 5 feet, 120 lbs. I eat 1200 per day +/- 150 and then usually do about 45 of excersizing which burns Aprox 400 calories that I usually don't eat back. I'm just trying to figure out why I'm not losing weight. I don't eat more than I think... I eat what I log and it's all according to the nutrition facts.

Ha. But I'm NOT eating more than I think. I eat what I log and I log what I eat. There's no food I'm hiding from myself. I'm the one desperate to lose weight! I stuck to a small caloric intake for 2 weeks before I started insanity. I lost 5 pounds. Then I started excersizing daily and havnt lost a pound since. I don't eat…

Well well well I figured out why I have been keeping a strict 1200 calorie diet, vigorous excersize, and havnt lost a single pound in 5 weeks. I havnt been eating back any calories... AND I have been logging insanity as 200-300 and it was so little that I wouldn't eat it back. But today I used a HRM and I burned 588 in the…

Thank you!! I get it! I will eat back those calories! So excersize is like my ticket to eat more but still lose :) I don't sit around all day, but I'm a stay at home mom so I fill sippy cups, read books, play peek-a-boo, watch kid shows, and clean the house. Nothing super physical. And I don't input house cleaning or…

How does MFP already factor in anything if I am the one who input my calorie and fitness goal?

I wish I could want this bad enough for it to just happen! I can't lose weight to save my life, literally. I have been on a strict 1200 calorie diet of good foods and daily excersize. I have 1 day off of excersize a week, and one cheat day, but not on the same day. And even on cheat day I don't stuff my face, I just eat…

Okay. I think I'm starting to understand. I looked into BMR and TDEE. In order to maintain my weight I would be eating about 1700 calories, but I want to lose so my new caloric goal is 1200. And then I do insanity and I burn about 300-450 calories. So do I leave it as such... Or do I eat back those calories to have a NET…

To lose weight I need to burn MORE than I eat? So if I eat 1200 a day I need to be burning that and then some? How does one even do that?? I take 2 miles walks with my daughter to the park 2 times a week usually, and then Insanity burns about 200... Totally (if I a walk that day) only about 350. I can't imagine doing more?…

That's me! I just joined about 2 weeks ago and I'm trying out Insanity to lose this baby weight. They said it all comes off after if have her, but after 17 months of holding onto hope LOL.
