Look at the Monday Blues as a MONDAY FRESH START! Even if you ARE over by 200 cal a day, you are doing better than you were before you were trying at all. Just being AWARE of your calorie consumption is a huge step in the right direction.

Most mornings i start my day with an omelette and toast, and a hot Green Tea. The way i see it, it's a great meal because it is packed with antioxidants, vitamins, protein, and TASTES GREAT! I keep little containers of chopped veggies in my fridge to make it easy to throw some into every meal. Egg Beaters - Liquid Egg…

So I recently posted about being tired all the time, and someone suggested that my iron might be low. I have added it to my nutrients tracked, and i total about 40-60 per day. Is that too little? Would that cause my total lack of energy/

Drinking enough water also keeps your kidneys & liver running smoothly, which leaves them to metabloize fat more efficiently.

Ok, I'm going to monitor my iron intake more carefully, try adding another 100 calories & try to stay awake today when the baby naps. Thanks for the insights!

I can't remember when I've been so exhausted. I get 7-9 hours of sleep at night, and after being up for 2-3 hours, I take a nap...a 2 hour nap. I make myself get up and clean or play with my son, go for a walk, etc...and then I am ready for a nap again. On some days I will be unable to stay awake & just crash again for…

Attempting the BFL program in any amount will benefit you. I gradually started it & maintained as much as I could...better to do something than nothing.

I have learned that there's a healthy, satisfying substitution for almost any evil foods. And sometimes it's really fun to challenge yourself to finding that substitution.

i am drinking three 500 ml bottles of water a day..just struggling to eat the calories....dont want to eat for the sake of eating If you don't feel that you could eat more, maybe you could at least increase the calories you're consuming. Maybe a glass of juice, even a handful of nuts, would be beneficial. They're high in…

I am also bulimic (16 years), although I actually gained a lot of weight in the last 3 years in spite of purging. When I finally followed the 1200-1500 calorie a day plan, I began to see the pounds come off. I Think it took 3 weeks before I saw any loss, but the loss has been pretty rapid since July. The key thing that I…

It's true! I had an onion ring, and was absolutely repulsed by the greasiness. Even things like chocolate seem very oily to me now, and I won't touch them!

I know what you mean about it seeming slow. After a month or so, I lost track of the time and focused on the weight instead. It seems like not long ago(July) that i weighed 194!! Today I bought jeans that are a size 13...and they're baggy!! Congratulations to you & all of us!! it feels good to be healthy & smaller!

smallest....7 largest....16 now...14 goal... 9

I started taking slimquick at the beginning of my most recent weight loss effort. What I noticed was that in comparison to some other supplements, I did not feel jittery. It didn't curb my appetite, get rid of bloating, or affect me in any other way that I noticed. The biggest thing that I noticed was that as long as I…

Woo Hoo! I bought a scale today and I'm thrilled to report I'm almost half way there!!
-
I wish that the excersize log would tell me how many calories non-aerobic activities burn. things such as sit-ups, push-ups, squats, lunges....Does anyone know of a good site with this kind of info? Thanks!

Today I had my usual mini lunch....a smart ones frozen entree with some added veggies, and a glass of green tea. The strangest thing happened about 3/4 through my meal. I felt full. Now, as a fat girl with a serious history of binge eating, I was very surprised to feel satisfied after eating such a small amount of food.…

Welcome! The calorie counter on here really does help, and if you use it, I know you'll see results. I'm an emotional eater, too....well....maybe a binge eater is more accurate. It's hard because I am cooking for a family of 7 and they don't want healthy food. I have to have some temptations in the house, but I make sure…

I hear ya! I always plan to do it...but I am soooo tired!

Maybe this is a stupid question.. When reading the label on a box of pasta the serving size is 2 oz. Is that dry or cooked? I measured 1 cup of cooked penne...so how large of a serving is that actually?
-
It's really amazing to me that I am losing weight! I weighed 193.5 at the beginning of July, and started using MYFITNESSPAL to monitor my calories. It seems like magic that the pounds disappeared, and i always think the scale is lying. No one has really noticed yet, but I know that I am doing a great job....because my…

Thanks Everyone for the encouragement! I actually just popped a bag of smartpop.....but gave 1/2 to my kids. Woo Hoo, I saved 50 calories!..I have to admit, cleaning the house isn't so bad when you look at it as a calorie burner!

Hey everybody. Day 1 is almost over...well, really day three, but this is the most successful day yet. If I can just get through TV snack time with my hubby, I will feel great. I am a little over my calories for the day, but overall happy with my diet choices. That's a first for me. I really like the food diary feature on…
