Some of the stuff you listed is easier to get the wrong calorie count. Counts for processed foods I think can be off by something like 15%. So if you measure slightly off, and the calories are 15% higher than posted, you can quickly remove your deficit. When you drink the creamer and milk, do you measure it?

So, as long as I eat the bad calories first, I'm ok as long as I go over with the good calories?

Get a new trainer.

Yep, it was the title.

I hate going to the gym, but luckily, there are many other ways to get exercise. Hiking, canoeing, walking, running, swimming, body weight exercises, my home gym, jumping rope, playing basketball, volleyball, etc, and may more, are all ways you can get exercise that don't in any way have to involve me stepping into a gym.

The more calories you take in, the better you are able to meet your micro nutrient needs. I am in no way advocating that you have a goal of getting down to such a low calorie net a day, but at least if you are eating more food, you have a better chance of keeping your body from becoming deficient in nutrients while you are…

I don't understand yes or no here. Necessary...If you like coffee, drink it. If you put a day's worth of calories in your coffee a day though, you may need to take it easy though.

Why are you cutting Diet Coke? Even if I was a diet soda drinker that wanted to cut back caffeine, or whatever other reason you are cutting it from your diet, that would be the last thing I would remove when starting a new diet. You enjoy it, and it is no calorie. Hot Chocolate - You can get lighter versions of hot…

Who cares how someone logs it? If they aren't meeting their goals then they should change how they did it. When I first started, I listed my activity level as sedentary and it was a game for me each day to see how many calories I could earn. Now, meh, too much work, activity level is set to my actual level, so I don't…

Maybe you could go to a hospital where your doctor doesn't have admitting privileges? I don't think they can turn you away when you are in labor. Pretend you were out doing something when you went into labor and had to go to the closest hospital?

Have you checked your doctor's c-section rates? Have you checked those of the other doctors in your area? I changed doctors because of the difference in rates. Not all doctors feel that same way. As for your baby being big, that was baby #1 for me. They kept telling me I was going to have a massive baby. He was very long,…

It happens. Your body is holding fluids to repair your muscles from their new stress. Make sure you take proper rest days, keep stretching, and the water weight will go away soon (could be days or weeks, but it will go away). Then you'll start losing weight. Don't change anything now!

You just made me sad remembering some of my favorites that have left.....

They sound like people to ignore regardless of what they said...

I really liked the food, and I would have loved the portrait studio package! I also greatly appreciated my friends that came over in the morning the first few weeks and made sure I was able to get a shower, that my laundry was going, that I didn't need anything from the store, and that I had breakfast for myself and my…

The restaurants I worked in, five cents is all it cost the restaurant for the soda. The other 1.75 was profit. You would have to drink a lot of free refills to make it not worth it to them.

OP - are there any foods that you used to really enjoy, that really made you happy? Could you try adding some of those into your diet to help with calories? Maybe you really used to like your mom's mac and cheese, or an aunt's coffee cake. Getting some food that you enjoy could help you get your calories up higher. Liquid…

Your motivation needs to come from you, not friends, family or colleagues.

This is how I'd handle it. Of course, I'm the mom that let my oldest have his first sleepover in preschool.....

I could probably hack off about 5 pounds if I did that......

So, the dog already killed a puppy, and now viciously attacked a child, and people think that he should be saved? This is pretty messed up. The dog will attack again. If my 10 month old goes near my dog when she has her bone, she gets up and walks away, she doesn't maul him.

I know. I was just trying to put something out there to get people thinking about why they choose their favorite exercises.

LOL at the burpees....

Your 6 year old should be fine, but I would ask your pediatrician about your 18 month old. I know under 12 months, too much protein can cause bloody stool. I'm not sure how much that changes as they get older.

I admit, I am still working on my 5 favorites. I know squats, deadlifts, and benching are going to be my top 3.

You are a very young girl. The complications from this surgery can be severe. When you are in your sessions, I urge you to ask them about how this could possibly affect fertility and your ability to safely and healthily have children. Even if you don't think you'll ever want any now, you could change your mind. This…

just whip it out. That is probably what she wants anyway....

Wear your workout clothes to bed for a few days. It just makes me feel so bad when I am already dressed and still don't get up.
