Everybody is heavier at night than in the morning. Gravity pushes water down to your feet so it doesn't get absorbed until you sleep at night. If you have ramped up excercises it might be that you are putting on muscle.

Your BMR is calculated based on zero activity in a day. Just sitting in bed and letting your organs work. So if you add your normal daily activity level: sedentary, moderate, high, it adds to your burn rate for the day. That is where your deficit comes from.

Salad with tuna on top.

Stuffed Peppers, cabbage rolls, stuffed burgers, I'm hungry now. Check out Allrecipes.com for good recipes.

Tater tot casserole, or shepherds pie. Both yummy and good for ya (sorta, just add lotsa veg) :o)

I had to sign a document that said i would not get pregnant til a year after my surgery. Mainly it is because right after surgery your pouch is too small to get adequate nutrition to support a baby. As time goes on your body recovers from the shock of surgery and makes adjustments in how you absorb food to make up the…

coffee, coffee, coffee

I think I am the only one who will say it but I disagree. I think the term is not meant to be offensive. Like someone said, it is a book. And perhaps it is just me who feels this way but when I hear the term on here I don't think the intent is to harm, or belittle. When I hear the term it conjours up an image of a woman,…

I would eat Frosted Flakes AND add sugar. Nowadays i can't even look at Frosted Flakes! Too sweet!

I hope to never get to my DL weight again. I had it done pretty close to when I was at my heaviest. Now when places ask for it they double take cuz I DO NOT look like that fat chick in the pic. Thank God!

last time I busted out my calculator and measuring cups, I found a bag of popcorn was around 340 cals. Again, it depends on how long you let it go b4 you stop it. I under cook mine a bit cuz I don't like a hint of smoke in there. If you're off a little bit you should be ok. I would average 300-350 cals for the whole bag.…

I work at a bank call center dealing only with checking accounts. So, It pisses me off when people call with questions on their account, have no idea what their number is, and wanna waste 10 minutues of my time while they look for it. What did they think was gonna happen when they called? I ask for their favorite color to…

I love the collar bones thing. I thought it was just me who got excited about that. When I first noticed them in the mirror I did the hunch over, suck it in move that really made em stick out and I was like "WOW!" I had never really had them since I was a kid so i was stoked. :)

no clue about what to eat but I just had to comment on the hair. It is gorgeous in your profile pic. Very nice!

That is awful. It's one thing for kids to call names but parents doing it is so wrong.

One day won't kill your diet. Oh well, move on. You can work some of it off at the gym or let it go. At least you will be prepared next time you go to BK what NOT to order. I just say relax. I'm sure it was yummy and you shouldn't feel bad about it. Eat your dinner and don't stress about it. Tomorrow is a new day.

nother little tip. a cup is roughly the size of your fist. (obviously, if you have chewbacca hands, adjust accordingly) :laugh:

Never thought about doing that as a better option for french fries. Sounds Delish!

I did really well in February...until I hit my first 20lb loss goal. Since then i have been binging like i have never binged before. All day, every day. Chocolate, candy, popsicles, bread, pasta. You name it, I'll eat it. I need to get back on track. I feel sick just thinking about how good I was doing and then just…

Ok, tried them today. Pretty good except it was missing the 2 key ingredients for egg rolls... cinnamon, and peanut butter. Granted the peanut butter will add a bit more calorie wise, but I don't see how you can do w/o it. I made mine with a bit of leftover chicken and it turned out really well. Deffinatly would try again.…

5'6.5'', med frame. Never ever been not fat so, first goal is 180. Ultimate goal is probably 150-155. We'll see when we get there.

I used to use it until I found out what was actually in it. Technically speaking it is not 0 cal either. But if a product has less than 5 cals per serving they are able to call it no-cal. That is why you don't pour it on food. That is why a serving is like 4 sprays. There's nothing there. Plus to be honest it doesn't taste…

pretty accurate. I use the recipe builder ALOT, and I measure pretty much everything but veggies. But I use the same bowls as always so I know how they should look.

Better, better, better. We are both losing weight together. Along with the physical difference, we are both more self confident and generally happier which makes for better sex. :smokin:

2 c-sections here too. I also flop around a bit when working out. Same suggestions as above, belly belt, spanx, etc. I also find sometimes you just have to turn it down a notch. If it hurts, slow down. I Figure it's not gonna help you stretching the area out by doing a bunch of jumping jacks without support. Just play it…

I think if it works for you it is ok. My hubby worked the late shift and he ate at work. If you are having 2 main meals make sure you keep snacks on hand for every few hours. You don't wanna get too hungry you run the risk of a binge. Snack bars, fruit, veggies, whole grain crackers, cheese should be kept on hand for when…

yup

Ditto, Ditto, Ditto

I totally disagree w/ this post. It is referring to a sixty hour study not a prolonged peroid of time. For all the girls out there wanting to be thin, tired of being teased or whatever this post is very misleading. It says, don't believe what you've heard, you can eat as little as you want and you'll be fine. MFP puts the…

I am also on a "low-carb" diet but mainly just not processed carbs like bread and such. Breakfast is either oatmeal w/ fruit or scramble 1egg and one egg white w/ cheese and a ton (and I mean a ton) of veggies. I usually eat every 2-3 hours otherwise I also find that I get ravenous as the day goes on. Good snack: freeze…
