Thank you, I will am going to follow this great advice from now on.

Thanks for the criticisum but I was joking! jeez!

Well I guess I'll get on the exercise bike for another 8 minutes to burn off that cheese stick! LOL Thanks to everyone for trying to help, I am still confused though!

Ugh! Great now I get conflicting advice! I agree I hate to eat if I am not hungry, especially if I am trying to lose weight, but everyone yells at you for that, they say you are eating too few calories ect. Even MFP says that when you complete your calories for the day. SO......I guess everyone has a different opinion.…

Thanks! I just had some low fat cheese cause I really can not stomach eggs right now, I am still full from dinner before the walk! I appreciate the info from all of you!

Thank you for all the tips! I forgot to put on there that I started this Biggest loser game because my husband and I needed a push for a reason to get healthy. Everyone who is in it is my family and we all needed this to get us going toward a better lifestyle. We have these cook outs and you would not believe the fattening…

I have a question pertaining to this. If it is so unhealthy...and I agree it is....why do they do it on "The biggest loser" on national TV they show people losing insane amount of weight...week...after week...and getting mad and crying ect if they only lose 2 pounds!

I do too! Cardio=yuck! If you want to eat the calories you burn with weight training, just do as they ^^^^ said and log it as cardio under strength training. I usually don't...just cause I eat enough already! Do you use machines or free weights?

bbq sauce (no pizza sauce) chicken and motz cheese. or canadian bacon and pineapple or alfredo sauce (no pizza sauce) and chicken and cheese or white gravy (no pizza sauce!!!!!) egg whites, turkey sausage and cheese! YUM!

Thank you to everyone who gave all the great answers to my question. I promise you I wont starve. I love food, and I actually don't even want to get to my "ideal" weight according to all these charts. I want to get to about 150 which is 20 pounds heavier than my "ideal" weight. I hope to be feeling all better soon, and I…

Oh my God people! First of all there is no such thing as a stupid question! We are here to support eachother and learn things and ask questions and get other peoples opinions. If you didn't have anything nice to say about my post then keep your mouth shut, just go on to the next question. There really is no need to be mean…

As for anorexia and the Ethopians...well I am not saying they look good. I am saying they are skinny and I am fat. I am saying that I have been eating right and exercising for about three months now and have seen very little weight loss. Thank you to those of you who actually are trying to help explain this to me.

You are already getting great exercise walking the dogs three times a day, just go with that. walk them a little faster, or a little farther, or walk them a fourth time each day and keep adding a little to it. Don't deny yourself that chocolate ever once in a while if you really want it have a bit! Your diet should never…

Move that candy...far away at least far enough so that you have to get up to get some, then when you are walking over to it, make yourself think about it. Do you really want to get up?

You are awesome! So happy you are doing this for you and for someone you love, and with someone you love! How cool! You are right about the calories in some foods that are marketed as good for you! I was surprised too. Also the sodium in some stuff is outrageous! I never watched sodium before MFP but it does it for you and…

Totally doing this with you! Thanks! And I thought my stairs were a flight...but there are only 15 steps! So I guess two trips up them will be one flight! Amazing what you learn each day!

I will do it with you. It will be tough for me and I may be sending you emergency messages! I say this as I am relaxing with a glass of wine...filled right up to the top! But after today I wont drink a drop if you don't.....Let's see if we can make it to Memorial Day weekend, ok?

Thanks! I am getting a notebook to write down all these great tips. I now take a whole notebook with me to the grocery store when I go!

Go ahead and buy the ground turkey and mix it with the beef. I do this all the time because we raise beef cows, so we always have tons of ground beef on hand. It is very lean, but I get sick of it so I mis sausage or turkey in with it for a different flavor. It will also help with the calories and fat if it is a higher fat…

You just did it. Admit that you are making mistakes. Now every time you get ready to put a bite in your mouth, think about it. How many calories is in it? How much fat? Sodium? I have a new rule that I wont eat anything without first knowing the nutrition info for it. It is not easy, but it WILL get easier. You can do…

I wont say that I agree with everything you said, cause that is not true. But I think your opinion is very interesting, and some of it I cannot even relate to so I have no opinion on. I love this part though..... "but I am SO TIRED of reading "good job!" and "WTG's!" for fluff. I know everyone isn't looking for a critique,…

Thank you Thank you Thank you! Some really good info and great ideas! I am learning so much today! "I get migraines triggered by sodium so I try to watch what I'm eating/drinking....well most of the time. LOL" this info floored me because I have had a headache since about 3 this afternoon, right about the time I noticed my…

No. My scale does the same thing> I weigh one time and I am 188 then the next morning I am 198! Whatever! I think we both need new scales! My hubby said he is bringing me one home tonight! We will see..last time I priced them, they were quite expensive!

I was tired, bored and my feet hurt, so I just did 15 minutes of Just Dance on the Wii (instead of my regular 30) and then some crunches and bicep and tricep curls, so I was off my feet. Felt good to be doing strength training, I felt strong! Switch it up, strength training is also very good for you,

You need to watch your sodium too. I do the same thing, get lazy, crazy (pms) and eat like mad...I don't gain at all, but I tend to feel bigger, which is the sodium in fatty foods. Too much sodium leads to a ton of health problems, which will eventually scare you into eating right. You are letting your muscles weaken,…

Will reply after my third glass of wine. LOL

Hello and welcome! I recently went to a waterpark with all of our family, when I saw the pictures of me in a bathing suit I was so mad at myself! We have a boat, and we go to the lake almost every weekend of the summer...I am so tired of being the fat one...this year I want to shine in my bathing suit! Gonna have to work…

Hello. Welcome to MFP. I love it here, if for nothing else than to keep track of what I eat, and how my exercise affects that. It is cool! The friends you will find here are great and very motivational. Good job on losing 8 lbs already! What is the 17 day diet? I need something new...I have not lost any weight in about two…

Thanks! I do drink plenty of water, but it is usually in the evening, I drink coffee in the morning (I know...bad, but I love it!) no more than 2 cups, then I drink water the rest of the day, but most of it is at night, so maybe I need to make sure I am getting more before the workout. My diet has not changed, nor my…
