There are my stats above

Okay, here are my stats/ results from the day. It is set at 1490 and I am still having trouble getting to that number, I am even adding in almonds, protein bars & shakes. I basically had a gluten free english muffin/ egg & veggie sausage 4 breakfast. Protein shake 4 lunch & amys organic gluten free / dairy free burrito for…

Just got back from a 60 min. body conditioning class and 20 minutes on the tread mill! Time to re-fuel! I am trying my best to get calories back up with out going over on carbs and sugar.... that will be trickier. Also, I am trying to really watch portion control so that will make it tough too. Suggestions on foods? Meal…

Thank you for the explanation. I am slowly starting to get it. It is a lot of information to "digest." (lol) I am now thinking I have not been logging well on the weekends, I have tried but in retrospect it is more of an estimate. I usually come out about 1500 calories with that estimation, which in the past I have thought…

Sounds like you are doing fine to me based upon 65 pounds lost! Congrats!

Ok breathing ;)

"t's quite easy to eat/drink away the entire weeks deficit during the weekend." Yes, as mentioned before this could be my problem. I wouldn't be surprised if it is my only problem. I tend to have social events on the weekend that always include a glass or two of wine and some snacking. I am always at least 2 pounds up on…

Additionally, it would be really challenging for me to eat 2000 calories a day. I would be afraid of a few things: 1. Feeling really crappy from all of the food, eating "too much" makes me feel sluggish. 2. My pants won't fit in a week or less, I would have nothing to wear! 3. Gaining more weight from the experiment and…

Thank you VISMAL, nice body by the way ;) & at 118 lbs lost seems you know what you are doing! I will seriously consider your advice! I meet with a dietician today and will discuss further. Thanks again to all that have helped me try and get a handle on this.

Yes, I did use two separate calculators found online :) I thought it would be good to get as much info as I could for my OP. And for added info. regarding my activity.... I am doing a weekly spin class (I burned 643 calories according to the heart monitor today), boot camp (very intense), interval / circuit training /…

I want to thank you all, I am pretty new to MFP & I am grateful for all of the support. There are obviously a lot of opinions on the matter and theories out there! I have learned a lot by asking my question(s). I did re-enter my activity level in the settings on MFP (I had it set too low) I also lowered my goal & lbs. per…

I do have a food scale, however I don't ALWAYS use it. I am confused

I AM still confused.... trust me 152 doesn't look healthy on me, I am very small boned and I think most of that is fat not muscle. I am working on it though! I am now doing boot camp classes and dedicated to getting back in shape after 2 kids and a desk job! What do I minus the 777 from? the 2227?

I am pretty low carb, I am gluten free..... looks like I came in at 89 gm today

I have a feeling it does have to do with the nursing, holding onto weight.... because although my kids are spaced 12 years apart I do remember this occurring with my first child as well.... I didn't loose weight until I stopped nursing.

:cry:

*oops telemetry monitor

I am age 39, 5'7" and 151 lbs trying to get to a goal of 135

@RGv2- I just mean I don't have to think about what to eat and fix a meal for myself, it is easy add water, add ice... blend = 250 calories Im a mom and usually I am picking up all the toddlers food off the floor and trying to get out the door to pick up my oldest from school. I mean no brainer = EASY for me! :) Hope that…

I have used both Herbalife and Shakeology, honestly I think Herbalife tastes better and is less expensive. I am not a coach or invested in either of the companies. I love smoothies and shakes, so for me I look forward to having one a day, even if I just create my own. I am a mom on the go, and it is just easier for me to…
