@ Rachel - You can always get it tailored or sell it on ebay or just send it my way!

Hmmm...well if I did log it, what would I log it as?

@chantalGG - I have adjusted my goals, but up until today I have been keeping it at 1420 to lose 1.5lbs a week, instead of the 1400 it's supposed to be. I might put it back to 1420. I don't know if I can handle the 20 less calories. I don't usually exercise 4 times a week. When I am exercising however, I usually eat about…

in regards to eating back exercise calories, I've heard back various things. I've heard that eating after you exercise is actually counterproductive and you will not lose the weight. This was coming from a personal trainer who I went to for 2 sessions. It was too intense. I couldn't handle it. I woke sore everywhere and…

katielove - no, I guess i haven't been getting enough water. I'll try that, thanks!

@KPaden - I do eat back some of my exercises calories, like a little less than half.

@stefraab- My diary is open, but I don't feel comfortable sharing it with people who aren't on my friends list.

@shellybsn - Haven't seen an endocrinologist in a long time. After trying practically every med under the sun and getting no results, I just gave up. I've also been on different anti-depressants in combination with birth control and I literally went crazy. I was crying every two seconds for no reason, until a client of my…

@previn84 - that's just it. I do have a hormonal imbalance and I've been taking everything under the sun for it, homeopathic and chemical. I've been on metformin, fortamet, glucophage, biaetta with a combination of different birth control and both birth control and the diabetic meds by themselves. I've been on…

1300? How can you stand it . I have 1440 and I almost never stay under. Not eating after I exercise when I have hunger gnawing at my insides. I don' t know how you do it! You are so brave!

I'm 5'2'' 1/2 and my goal is to get down to 135. I've got a long way to go though. I guess , ideally, I would love to weight 105 or 102, but my entire family is genetically predisposed to obesity and I have PCOS, which makes it a lot more difficult to lose the weight that a person who doesn't have my condition, would lose…

She's an award winning body builder from Ukraine or so she says. I'm inclined to believe her. She certainly does look it. This is the website for her company: http://www.europrofitness.com/ It however does not say anything about her specifically.

I didn't eat afterward or tried not , because the personal trainer told me not to. She said that it's absolutely essential that you don't eat after wards because then the work out will be pointless and I won't lose the weight. I should link back to my original post about my concerns about going to her for reference:…

riverside, I really like your little "Timbuktu " icon. It's adorable . Where did you get it and what does it mean?

thank you everyone for the very awesome feedback. It's really helpful. I didn't even think to ask about her certification or anything like that. Believe it or not , I didn't even think I had the option of not following her instructions about the food. Usually when someone says : " this is what you need to do" , I don't…

Both those methods are correct. It's just a matter of figuring out what works best with your body. This means factoring in : Your work schedule, your sleep schedule, your exercise routine, your specific diet routine (in my definition, it refers to which foods you eat throughout the day and how much. For example, if you're…

What is an HRM? Does it stand for Heart Rate Monitor?

good idea!

It was originally in my parents' room , in the walk in closet and then I had to move it because my dad didn't want me coming into the room to weigh myself. So I ended up taking it into my room. I didn't think it would make a difference , but apparently it did,.

Dearest PCOS , I wanted to tell you what a darling, gem of a friend you are , really! You came into my life , unexpectedly, when I was but 14 years old, in the bloom of youth, and took me under your wing. Through my experience you have not only affected my self esteem but my relationship with others! You guided me to the…

this really sucks, I don't even really know how to do the recipe for the "sheika" because I don't know what's in it really. well I submitted a recipe for matzah babka, but I can't believe it's that many calories!

I really hate being in this situation. This is why I sstopped eating certain foods , because I just couldn't log them or there were too many calories. 383 calories for a cup of tuna salad with mayo. It's just not fair! Tuna salad is not the same without mayo, not at all! And peanut butter, 190 cal for just 2 tablespoons.…

A good friend of mine told me this as an observation when I was complaining about the same thing. On someone who is in a smaller size range, say they were 160 and went to 130 or even 120, the weight loss on them is going to be significantly more noticeable than on someone who is in a larger weight range. Honestly, don't…

I wish that were helpful, but I don't make kugel. I don't really know how to cook at all. I also don't know if the calorie amount for the kugel was at all accurate, because different websites say different things and there's only 2 listings for kugel on here.

thanks for the tut link , lady hawk. Maybe that's why I haven't been meeting my weight loss goal. I looked at a picture of a measuring cup online and that's seriously depressing. A cup apparently is tiny. Maybe this is why "diet" has the word "die" in it, because when you're doing it, you feel like you're going to die.…

I don't know if I'd actually buy a scale. I know that works for some people , but that would just drive me crazy. Where would I buy a measuring cup ?

Wow. that's really depressing. So I might have actually been going over my calories every single day. I'm going to go crawl into a hole now. Well, at least now I know that the picture is showing up. It's not showing up on my end.

Your abs look fantastic!

I've been staying away from peanut butter and even though I have gluten free bread in the house, for some reason I've been avoiding it. I think I've become so terrified of going over that my brain has gone into ' what can I eat that has as little calories as possible' and then I end up with like a 300-500 calorie deficit.…
