I am a myfitnesspal advocate....I tell every person I can about this great site. Pay it forward baby!!!!! If just one person can "GAIN" what I have from this site- (a new outlook on food, exercise, and everything in between) the worlds a better place! Good for you!

http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/recipe_analysis.php Watch out though because I put a recipe in there and it was totally calculating the kidney beans wrong. I sent an email to them but never heard back... it could have been a "user error" but I couldn't figure it out. I did put in a banana bread recipe in there and it…

Love it!

Hey- I am a newbie runner! But have been doing MPF for a while- (signed up in April but didn't start logging until Aug) I did my first 10K on veteran's day and I have my first 1/2 marathon the end of May! I am so excited to do it! It feels good. I spend about 1 1/2 hours in the gym five days a week because I really do love…

Dice up some fresh tomato too that helps it more moist.... that way you won't have to use as much mayo.

Way to go! You're taking good care of you and your baby!!!

Besides fresh fruit & veggies I like canned soup for lunch- broth based..a little higher in sodium (so if you have an issue with BP it may not be a good choice for you). I also like Paul Newmans lighten up dressing basalmic vinarette for my salads. Another staple for me is LUNA bars. For my "treat" I like edy's 1/2 the fat…

You can do this! Just keep making the right choices and you will see results. It's hard to change old habbits! But after a while it will get easier and you will see results. I agree with May_marie NEVER weigh at the end of the day! You'll always weigh heavier. Give yourself a week before weighing in again and then do it in…

I weigh in everyday but log in my weight on Mondays.:smile:

LOVE IT! YOU GO WITH YOUR AWESOME SELF!:bigsmile:

That is AMAZING! You truely inspire all me! Congrats!

Welcome! :drinker:

Opss I forgot it hit the quote- this is to you Lauryn1981 Wed 01/07/09 01:16 PMI am like you. I eat a smaller amount at breakfast and lunch so I have the extra cals at dinner. I find if I use too many through out the day I end up feeling deprived at night and I end up eating over my 1200 cals.... As long as we are eating…

I am like you. I eat a smaller amount at breakfast and lunch so I have the extra cals at dinner. I find if I use too many through out the day I end up feeling deprived at night and I end up eating over my 1200 cals.... As long as we are eating the right amount does it really matter if we eat a higher cal dinner and lower…

Welcome and good luck!!!!

It's funny, in the beginning I really just cut down my portions and ate the same foods to stay within cals. But after a while I didn't want the junk as much and started craving healthier food choices- and it meant I was able to eat more. But yes, you can eat what you like and still loose weight. That's the great thing…

WOW! That must feel amazing!

I have the same problem on the days I don't get a workout in... try and eat more protien it seems to keep the hunger at bay... usually I go ahead and eat the extra 200 cals if I am still hungry.

Thank you for this....

More protien it is!!!! I will let you guys kow how it goes!

I wish.... I did eat a bit over over the holiday and I didn't loose but I stayed pretty much the same :drinker: which I was totally happy about.... I think I'll have to really push myself to eat more protien and truely ask myself are you hungry or do you just want to eat????? B/C I am one of those people who will workout…

Thank you! It does help! I love my kashi go lean and yogurt for breakfast but it's a it high at 275..... then I usually do a luna bar for snack for 190 and then I am down to 735 and I haven't eaten lunch, 2nd snack or dinner. Ekkk. I think it's partly a mind thing. I always get my protien in but I love my carbs ( i.e.…

Go you!!!! Good job! Wow! You look like a new woman! You must feel fantastic and so proud of yourself!:bigsmile:

I really have a hard time staying at the 1200 cal mark on the days I don't get my exercise in. It's like I need those extra cals to feel full- or I guess I should say when I only get 1200 cals I feel like I am starving......Usually that's only 1-2 days out of the week ( I usually don't make it to the gym on weekends) and I…

Welcome! You'll do great!:smile:

YUUUMMMM! I am making this this week. Thanks!

Wow great info!!!!!! I have just started doing weight lifting but never knew just how heavy was too heavy how many sets etc... Thank You!!!!!!

Sounds like your good for tonight. Sounds yummy! Stay warm and have a great evening.

Good job girlie! You know what I think? Eating the piece of candy was a good thing ( don't forget to log the cals though): . It keeps you from feeling deprived and wanting to binge. You go. One day at a time. You can get through today!!!! :wink: Do you have a plan for dinner?

OK- So now that you are on MPF and are logging in all your cals and exercise you'll be able to get a real firm idea on how much your eating per day. Maybe your consuming more than you think. Make to drink all your water and continue to exercise. Also, I don't know much about pilates but maybe you could add some cardio to…
