For some things I use sandwich bags that I can either weigh or measure out than I mark them with what is inside and the date and out them inside a large freezer bag so that they dont end up with freezer burn.

I started out at 2lbs a week as well but after a month I ended up changing it to 1 lb a week and it seemed to be easier for me to do. I do eat back my exercise calories and I have lost 10lbs in 5 weeks.

It sounds like you are doing great in the food and exercise area. Start taking measurments now you could be gaining some muscle or just making your body leaner. Its not just the scale that counts its the small things, like needing a new belt because you are on the last notch, by taking measurments you will be able to see…

I see lots of sodium and a lot of packaged foods which you mentioned but I also notice lots of days that you rarely get enough fiber and too much fat i would add more veggies and fruit to your diet and less chips and prepackaged and processed foods. There is no problem with having treats but in moderation. If you are…

I have had gall stones and that was the most painful 2 years of my life. The doctor just kept giving me pain killers rather than find out what was wrong. It wasnt until I got pregnant with my second child that they finally figured out what it was. I had to go to emergency procedure to cut my ducts open, they found that…

Yes I did see biggest loser last night, and yes courtney did enter that starvation mode, but it can take more than a week to come out of, until your body is sure that it is going to get enough calories to keep it going it will continue to store extra calories that it does not need in fear of going through the famine again,…

Good job on the 3 pounds you should be proud of it. The reason you may be losing weight more slowly this time is that you are gaining muscle which weighs more than fat so that would add some weight back, but this is a good thing as muscle burns more calories than fat. Make you sure you are taking measurments. Inches are…

Strathmore ab here feel free to add as a friend.

If you are having a hard time with getting started then start slow, a large change in diet to all healthy can trigger unhealthy cravings and binge eating, so try having a really good breakfast to stat off the day, and after a week change another meal in the day or your snacks to healthier ones, and you will notice a…

I had this same problem, so to up my calories I will have no sugar added juice with meals and will enjoy a glass of chocolate milk here and there for added calories when needed. But be sure to spread those calories out through out the day and not have them all in the evening so that you can consume all the calories that…
