I hear ya!! I have gone up and down for months and usually when i go down, its not back to where I was before so gradually going up :grumble: I have increased my calories here to maint. and still I usually have a slight defecit, so I should be staying the same if nothing else. Just started TOM so hopefully by the end of…

There's a type of peanut butter called better n' peanut butter which has half the calories as regular, and they make a chocolate variety that has cocoa in it and is delicious!!! Try that for a change over the nutella!!!! (I have never tried nutella basically because I know that I would get addicted and its not a healthy…

Update is that for the past 3 weeks I have increase cals to 2000-2100 gross from 1400-1700 gross. My weight is up 3-4 pounds roughly from when I stated. My measurements are the same, but my bodyfat calculated via calipers has gone from 25.7 to 24. My husband is helping me with the measurements so hopefully they are…

I would put in sedentary and then when you exercise plug that in.

1. I avoid processed, refined foods, all red meat/pork/anything with nitrates (bacon/lunch meat/pepperoni) etc. I avoid candy, sweets, etc and only indulge a few times a year with all that..Also avoid artificial sweetners except for stevia. I try to eat all organic, but def. only eat organic eggs/chicken and try to eat as…

bump for update later. I remeasure and if its accurate (fingers crossed) my caliper testing says I have dropped bodyfat %. update later!!!

I would love to join, but I dont kow if I have it in me lol!! I dont know how you all that work out 2-3x/day do it!! My plan is for a run this morning after some errands, maybe I will do something later on as well!! I like the idea of a challenge!!!!! Re: love for fitness: I would do the healthy type pie recipe!! Being in…

p90x workouts are generally 60 minute plus 15 minutes for abs! Tomorrow i am hoping for 6 mile run!

I was supposed to weigh in today also but decided that I would wait until after TOM to weigh in! I know I am up, and I dont want to ruin my day by getting on the scale... Hoping you all had a great weekend!!!

Wow!! That is impressive. That is awesome!!! Great job!!! I did my regular back/biceps/arx today followed by short 2 mile run. My new goal is to try to get more running in on top of the p90x!! Tomorrow is supposed to be yoga but I am going to run instead because we are expecting some nice weather here, and probably will be…

this!!!! I have been eating at what MFP is calculating as my maint. for the past 2 weeks and feel "fat". I am coming up on TOM so i am sure that is part of the reason, and I am just plain bloated. I hate getting on the scale at this time because I am certain I have not been having a surplus at all!! In fact even at…

welcome to all the new folks!! I have been busy last couple days so posts have been brief. Due for my TOm next week and feeling bloated and fat:cry: I have been eating at what MFP caculates as maintenance for almost 2 weeks (tomorrow is 2 weeks) and tomorrow is my weigh in day and I feel like I am up. I fluctuate 3-5…

miles vs calories: I definately run for the miles! Since I am in the middle of p90x my mileage is much lower, but I am planning on ramping that up in about 6 weekS!! Cheese: I love all cheese, but munster is probably fave!! Today our city "celebrated" Halloween because of a freaky early snowstorm that left like 200,000…

I will check it out later when i have more time and offer any advice I can. I am eating 2000-2100 gross, which is up from my typical 1700-2000 gross. I switched my goals to maintenance here on MFP just so I could see where that is (about 1900 without exercise) and I am doing this for a few weeks to try to reset my…

Its just water weight! It will come off!! I know how it makes you feel though!!!! Re: question: I always workout in the morning, first thing. I get up at 5-530 on work days otherwise 730 or so and do my workout right away!!! Otherwise I lose motivation and if I wait until after work I dont have the energy or desire to…

I do it first thing in the morning! I would never have the energy to do it after working all day! I get up at 5am and just do it!! I have been doing it like this for so long, its just part of my routine!! Maybe try working out in the morning instead of at night??

Good afternoon everyone. I did my p90x this morning and soon headed to the treadmill for a 20 min walk. Goals for November: 1. Continue to eat 2000-2200 calories 2. 20 minutes on treadmil 7 days per week on top of my normal routine which is 6 days/week p90x 3. Drink at least 14 ounces of water per day 4. Decrease bodyfat…

No eggs dont stall weight loss, I just thought maybe eating the exact same thing every day would maybe slow things down, along the same line as how the body adapts to the same cardio if done over and over....so I wanted to "shake things up" is all!!

I usually eat back my calories, but I have tried both eating back and not eating back and I dont lose regardless, so since I workout better and feel better eating them back, thats what I do!! My average daily intake as of a week ago is 2100 calories and my average daily burn is 450. (maintenance for me is roughly 2500 if I…

Wow we are plugging away here!! I just figured out that I have averaged 2100 calories per day for the past week. I am surprised at how hard it is for me to get to 2100 in a healthy way!! It seems that if I hit my protein for the day, I am way over in sodium and way under in fiber (which I really need alot of), and if I hit…

Happy halloween!!! My strategy to avoid disaster on halloween is to get rid of most of my daughters candy before we can all eat it!! I let her keep the stuff she likes, but only so much, and I let her eat 1 piece per day IF she eats her fruits and veggies for the day. As for myself I really dont get into the candy because…

I hardly ever eat cold cereal because I dont find one serving filling, and I tend to get carried away, but I love Life cereal!! I also like plain fiber one cereal with almond milk!!

This!! LOL!!:laugh: Good for you!!! that is a great NSV!!!!

wow, sorry so many of you are having such a crappy day :( I am so thankful that we have power, that I am feeling pretty good this sunday. We had an unseasonably early snowstorm, 6+ inches of snow, trees down all over, and all over the state there are people without power so i am just happy that we have it!!! got my workout…

[I don't know how I would feel about weighing in everyday. I think it would depress me seeing it go up and down like that. Does everyone here weigh in everyday? ] Yes, I cant do this because I let the scale dictate my mood, and more often then not, its not nice to me! Like one week ago I was at 164.2, 3 days later 166.6, 3…
