Thanks!

We shop a few times a week. We have a household of 8 as my folks are living with us as well. We DO buy a lot of fresh produce, but if you look at his log you can see, it is A LOT of produce! If we bought enough to feed our entire family of 8 all te items he had listed for one day we would not have fridge room for anything…

Thank you! That is a great response! And yes, I read up on the Phentermine. I have friends who have been on it long term and are down 80 and 100 pounds! It gave me a LOT of energy but I also ate nearly nothing! I was less healthy while on it and prefer to lose weight the old fashioned way! ;)

Thanks Emily! ;) And I didnt flag anything, I HATE when people do that. Everyone has a right to post and I have not seen anything inappropriate!

Please elaborate! Thanks!

RIGHT?!?!? That is what I am saying! My sister drinks and says every time she stops drinking for a few weeks she drops like 20lbs! Just from not drinking! Like soda or alcohol! So I would think that the habit change alone would be helping me to drop weight. Adding in the fact I have worked harder to eat 1200 calories a day…

Thanks Vismal! When they state "would you like to lose 1lb per week or 2 lbs per week?" It kind of makes you think you are working toward 2 when that's the plan you choose. I am very diligent with logging food and being accurate. I use food scales and usually if I question something I will err on the side of adding more…

WOW! How do you manage to concoct those meals? Lol! You must shop EVERYDAY for you produce to be fresh! I have 4 kids so everyday shopping is nearly impossible! And I see you are using some of the "sugar-free" products, I was never able to use that avenue as I am highly allergic to Aspartame and Saccharine. But I def envy…

BTW, just a side note, I did not gain the weight from eating too much or being lazy. I used to drink a lot of soda every day and drink beer. I have nixed those items and am just working on the weight it left me with. I accept responsibility for the weight gain and would like to get rid of this yucky reminder of my previous…

Those who stated to "eat less".. My doctor has ragged on me in the past for doing so. I have trouble trying to eat 1200 most days as it is. I do measure foods on a very reliable food scale as well! From all the research I have read 1100-1300 calories per day is ideal for weight loss for my weight and height. Charts do show…

There are great responses! A lot of terrific answers to my questions! Still, I know what you put in your body is what keeps you going, so I do not want to eat foods like "doritos" Lol! I have never been into junk food, I eat really healthy and always have. I just found when I started tracking my food intake that my caloric…

Thanks for the input! I do eat the light versions of everything, except peanut butter because the benefit is not as great as it sounds when you really read the label. I worry about going over, then by the end of the day I realize how far off I still am and by that point I am ready for bed, not trying to sqeeze in calories…

Im waiting for answers to this too! Im in the 1200 calorie brcket and barely make 800-900 a day, plus when I add in my exercise it tells me I have to eat those calories to replace the ones I burned so I just stopped logging my excercise! I didnt understand that either!

I have the same problem! I get way too full too fast and even trying to eat more frequently, where I feel like all I do all day is eat, I am coming up short on my calories! I think this is why my metabolism has basically told me to go **** myself! I have NEVER had a problem overeating and I am moderatly active, but since…
