I sure get that one, sound like me, good luck to you. I have only been here on this site a week and it has really helped me become more accountable to myself and refocused on taking better care of me. Good Luck

I have only been on here a week, and asked the same question do a search there are lots of folks with documents regarding this topic. After everything I read and the research I did what I have decided is that I have to ensure I am eating enough to keep my metabolism burning. If I eat any of my excercise calories back I…

I understand what you are saying here......what you need is to CHANGE IT UP, get a new recipe list, change what you eat and what your doing for excercise. This is your TIME to try something new again. Your new foods will be more interesting, try stuff you have not had, recipes, get creative again. Same thing with what you…

Welcome, I didnt know they had a program for woman, thats awesome. I think if you use all the tools you have but still keep it simple they can work together to help you get on track.

I use splenda and like it, no funny taste.

Welcome to MFP, I just started here also, a week ago. I love it truly. I have a friend that told me about it and we support eachother on the phone and in person too. I really like the accountability this site gives me. I wont lie when I am seeing what I am doing and eating in black and while lol, this has helped me to get…

Welcome, I have been here for 1 week and I really am loving the accountablity to myself that this site is giving me. I didnt lose a pound, but I dont care I have ate better and actually excercised more than I have in months so whoo hoo, I am happy about it. Wish you the best of luck

Thanks to everyone for responding to me. I appreciate all the input and am grateful for some facts too Good luck to all of you

Thank you thats what I thought. I am staying under my 1200 calories and even though I am excercising I just ignore the extra calories that is shown from my excercise, that is correct right?

I am new here, could you tell me if we should eat back our workout calories ??? please send a message to my inbox so I will see what is suggested thank you

My girlfriends sister lost 150 lbs and of course had to contend with the sagging skin and belly issues everyone has commented about. I would like to share what her trainer suggested. She bought pallates (I think thats how you spell it) work out series ,and incorporated the pallates into her workout schedule 3 times a week…

Sounds great, planning when you are going out. What I use to do is if I know I am going out for a dinner, I watch and do some trade offs with my other meals, it helps compensate for the dinner out and then still make a healthy choice at the restaurant. Trading off is like if I want to have some butter with a roll at dinner…

Dont add all the items separate, if you are following a recipe and are having a serving manually add it for example chicken marsala 1 serving and the calories. it will save it so if you make it again it will be there. I noticed the same thing when I was looking at adding entries to my foods.

Lots of people think peanut butter is bad for you.. but even with the sugar and fats it is a great source of protien. An english muffing with peanut butter is a great snack or breakfast item. Protein in your evening snack really helps curb cravings for sweets and junk that is mostly carbs. I learned this from a dietician.…
