No restrictions. Just my 1200 calories a day to follow.i buy egg beaters egg whites. That's what I had for breakfast today. 6 tablespoons totaling 50 calories and 10 grams of protein. On other days I will have cereal with milk or whole grain waffles. Those are the days I have trouble getting the protein in. Even with Greek…

When I am having a rough day my mother buys me Andy Capp hot fries. And I have will power to turn these down normally but when they are bought by her its such a thoughtful gesture that I want to eat them because she bought them for me. I would compare it to the way a mother must feel if their kid shared their Halloween…

Jillian michaels WINNING BY LOSING is a great book! I t got me over the same exact issues. It mostly deals with the emotional side of eating!

What does everyone's daily balance usually look like? I'm trying to figure out how to word what I'm thinking. Lol like if I have 35 left is it worth having a 100 calorie snack and going over by 65 to make up for 35? Or should I just try to keep low cal snacks on hand for those days?

Exactly melaniecheecks!!!! I was gonna mention that as my next point. Yesterday I hate tortellini in ragu sauce. I probably had about 1/8 cup of sauce left in bowl!

So after writing this post I pre-tracked today's food an guess what! 1200 calories on the mark! Haha I just thought that was weird

I felt deprived on WW too. And the worse part is the more I lost the less I could eat. I couldn't imagine eating any less in a day. I also feel like I can participate in events on this plan and not ruin my calories that day!

Im still going to stick it out and see what happens. I had a week and a half of not working out and food at events that caused me to gain since my original post but I gotta get back on track! im determined too.

as far as what it tells me as my amount with activity it tells me 1200 if I want to lost two pounds a week. it tells me 1370 if I put in a half a pound a week. If I want to go right in between those amount at about a pound a week it still tells me 1200. so I have been keeping it at 1200 for the past two or three weeks.…

does anyone else have trouble posting a new topic? I can comment to everyone else but I cannot make a new topic myself.

I'm 5'2 and at 1200. I heard shorter people are in the toughest category or weightloss. We should only lose about a half to one pound a week. Any faster and we could wreck out metabolism by eating too little. Weight watchers had me at 950 calories when I checked against MFP and my body wasn't losing ad I was hungry all the…

Get a soda stream. The syrups don't contain aspertame like regular diet sodas. I don't even use the syrups anymore I just drink the carbonated water now. Or u can buy flavored carbonated water.

My fear is......how long will my fitness pal be around? Will they close up shop in like 1,5,10 years then we all need to find another tracking system? I know we can still count calories but we will have to do keg work to search foods without labels

Me too. She needs to learn to say "because" correctly. It's pronounced bee-cause NOT buh -cuz

Can someone tell me how to start a new post?

I can't figure out how to start a new topic and board.

When I reach 130 (currently 138.5) my husband and I are going out for Chinese) then maybe again at my goal weight of 120. If I had to never eat Chinese again is say is rather stay heavy lol. Life's to short to deprive yourself of everything. Moderation is key!

There is nothing wrong with losing a pound a week. It's still a loss. Restricting diet may be easy for you but for me it sucks. It all foods i hate and makes me miserable. Each persons journey is different. So none of us really have the right answers for anyone else!

Don't let other discourage you. If you are making an effort to lose ofcourse you deserve to lose weight. Don't even agree that you don't . Some people like to put others down when they can still lose without having to be as strict as themselves to lose. If you are losing and doing this that's fantastic. I know what you…

You definitely have to set boundaries with your parents. I realized this too late in life and am stuck with a degree I can't use for any jobs that would make me happy because I chose a major to make my parents happy. She obviously doesn't know how to eat healthy since she isn't eating enough each day. It might bother her…

I'm all about bread too. Especially garlic bread
