I am currently having the same dilemma. Due for my period in approximately 6-7 days. As of today, I am up 5 pounds. I am constipated (haven't voided in at least 3 days) and very bloated. I did crave salts and sweets last 2 days and did indulge, but I would not consider it over-indulging. AND I have worked out every day!!…

CW 150 GW 140 I have lost over 20 lbs since April. Currently feeling frustrated/ discouraged due to weighing 145 only 5 days ago. I am expecting my period next week and feel as though I have retained a lot in just several days. I have had a few days where I have gone over 1200 calories per day but have not peaked past…

So.... I started this challenge and I already feel discouraged just after the first week. I weighed in at 150 last Friday and now...a week later I am up almost 3 pounds. I have been good most days this week and I am bummed to weigh in tomorrow being up instead of down! Take a look at my diary- any suggestions/advice are…

my goal is to also eat about 1200 calories daily. It is a pretty large deficit... but it helps to potentially reach a 2 lb weight loss per week which I have been able to maintain the last few months. I find that I err on the side of caution and will often log more calories than less if I am unsure...

I also weigh myself daily. It helps me stay accountable and gives me a good idea of how my eating the day before affected me. It can be very frustrating though, not seeing change.. but if you stick to it, you eventually will.

Hi! I have been committed to MFP and living a healthier life for about 3 months. I started in the high 170s and currently weigh in the low 150s. Ideally, I would like to get to 140 to maintain a healthy BMI. I have found that logging my food...no matter what... has helped me feel accountable to my weight loss goals.

I am in!! I have done Paleo before with great results. Unfortunately I fell off this winter and I have been on a sugar kick for some time.. it's incredible how addicting sugar and carbs can be. This will be a great way for me to get back into a routine. I will also begin on Monday! I have a Paloeo slow cooking recipe book…

my heart rate monitor seems to be pretty consistently accurate. maybe you should return it?

Doreen, I have always been a pretty active and athletic person. I started a new stressful job in August. I feel off the deep end for a while and I found it very difficult to motivate myself to workout and stay healthy after a long day of work. The past few weeks I have really been pushing myself to go to the gym 3-5 days a…

Wow! Thats great, MOM!! Thanks :)

I am definitely in! How do I join?

I enjoy the non-fat cottage cheese with Pineapple pieces in it! I also like to mix regular cottage cheese with a thing of the Light-and-Fit Dannon Yogurt (preferably Blueberry or Raspberry). Its a treat and fills you up.
