^^ id go with the string cheese. Sargento low fat string cheese is really good. Also if you're a dessert person, get some sugar free mousse temptations. I think that's what they are called. 60 calories, no sugar, 100 mg of sodium. Oh and "Stacys Pita Chips" are awesome. Raw unsalted almonds too - you can get them in little…

Thanks everyone, you all helped alot. I have had big changes in clothes. I went from 38 to 34 in jeans/shorts and from XL to L in shirts. Just bought some new clothes the other day :)))) People I don't see daily see a big difference. Im blind to it all. Ill trust the measuremesnts and scale and people. And ill keep pushing…

Yeah definitely buy one. I can't believe I went so long without it.
-
What really sucks is I have some "before" pictures on my cell phone so I can look back and really see the changes, but my SD card is apparently corrupt and I lost everything. Sooo. I can't see the old me. I can use old beach pics from last year but it's not the same as a good close up from several angles. Also, I tried my…

Good point. I guess I have to be losing fat. I guess im just not seeing it..? Idk. And I've been driving myself crazy with sodium and sugar for 3 months. This stuff is tough! I've spent more time researching my food for MFP than I have doing homework. Im hoping the strength training starts to reshape my body.

Yeah first of all id disagree with the diet soda. I read that diet soda is a silent weight gainer. Id avoid that if I were you. Also, I don't eat cheese. At all. It has alot of fat, mostly saturated. Dairy products in general are full of fat. You could try fat free milk, but it has alot of sugar. I bought almond milk…

Thank you everybody, I appreciate the great suggestions. Ill have to talk to my doctor and see what he says. Thy have to cut my pelvic bone so im not sure how much upper body movement ill be allowed. Ill definitely just try to control my food intake. Thanks again :)

Same here. I definitely don't want to monitor everthing I eat and drink and live my life this way til I die! :/
-
Absolutely. Were in the same boat, unfortunately :/
-
Amen. Good luck :) side note - you said you're going to University, instead of College. Are you by chance Canadian?! lol sorry, I like Canada..

yeah i found that its generally pretty inaccurate. i suppose buying a HRM is the best way, but i dont have one either. i google and find several different references and try to find a pattern. usually livestrong.com is good. they have some formulas to determine caloric burn for certain exercises, such as elliptical…

try not to get yourself down, thats when all the mistakes happen. stay on top of things and use today as encouragement. keep it in your head and remember how disappointed and guilty you feel next time you have this problem. dieting is difficult, i think it gets the best of everyone. tomorrow is a new day.

** not to sound rude, I appreciate the responses - they definitely help - BUT ** im on my phone so I might have seen the pictures wrong, but it looks like all female replies - keep in mind im a 6 ft, 20 year old male. 2000 calories a day is advised just to function lol

Yeah I thought that guy was a little insane. I don't even really like candy or chocolate. But just so were clear, pizza on the weekend instead of grilled chicken and salad is cool, right?! ;) lol have a good weekend everyone
-
Lol you should check out my post about going to the gym. I posted it like 20 mins ago. I have the same problem and im having a bad day too. It happens to everyone. People on this website definitely help alot. Its almost the weekend though so be happy :) !!! Take it easy and start up stronger on monday. Everyone needs a…

Also, I don't eat garbage on the weekends. I still abide by my guidelines for the most part, I just have some slips. Maybe have that bowl of ice cream I've wanted since last week or have a slice of pizza.
-
Thanks everyone! I smiled while reading every reply. I definitely got some motivation from this and its really an eye opener. At the end of the day, my clothes and the scale tell the truth, whether I see it or not. And if anything, all this diet and cardio is improving my internal health. Ill get to the gym when im ready -…

I think its good to make kids aware of this issue at a young age, but i have some problems with it. 1 - eating and exercise is different for everyone. Although this is clearly healthy, it may not work the same for everyone. I think each person needs to find their own plan that works for them as individuals, not a group.…
