If you have a realistic sense of how much your producing you can multiply each ounce by 20 calories to get the approximate additional calorie burn. I personally underestimate a bit because this is inexact. I pump 12 ounces and feed one other time, so I assume about 16 ounces daily. If you have no sense of how much you’re…

Congrats on your weight loss and amazing health gains. That’s amazing that you feel so much better physically. I also found the same thing when I was pregnant. I’m currently 1 year post partum and preparing to conceive again in 3-6 months. I’m not religious about MFP. When I need to be in a deficit, I find calorie counting…

Congrats!!! Glad to hear your feeling better and enjoying your health journey!

It seems unlikely given the lengthy timeline of many of your injuries, but how is your footwear? There have been times in which I had unexpected soreness that resolved after getting new shoes. Running shoes at least wear out every couple of months and don't offer the same level of support or cushioning. Sorry about your…

I absolutely loved reading this. I am similar in that I believe and logging does make me a little nuts/overly focused on food. I am really hoping to find the right balance and keep it in check by regular weigh-ins BUT not counting calories. It seems like an especially impressive feat given that you were in France!

Mine generally seems pretty accurate except for movements around the house...

I agree 1 tbsp of butter probably wont saute that many veggies. If you don't have the calorie budget for extra fats you could use stock to keep the veggies from sticking. I also second the idea of adding a protein. Finally, I am not sure about the oven part, I would be concerned that it would dry out the vegetables.

If I eat early in the AM, I am starving throughout the day. Not advocating skipping breakfast if you like it, but for me I try to wait to eat breakfast for awhile. Good luck!

Usually when I go to Mexican restaurants they have some form of a 'lite' margarita. It usually involves lime juice and no sugar along with a couple of other modifications. If you let the waitress know your are trying to do a lighter drink she/he can probably help. On the border, a Mexican chain restaurant near me has a…

Instead of French fries I eat really crispy roasted green beans.

moo shu chicken ask them to go light on the oil its tons of veggies esp. cabbage sauteed with non breaded chicken with minimal amounts of sauce. it is served with pancakes and hoisin sauce which you should go a little easy on it has about 70 calories in two tablespoons. I ABSOLUTELY love this dish and think it is…

what grinds my gears: people who know absolutely nothing about food nutrition and fitness doling out unneeded advice. for example some dude at work who eats fast food regularly, drinks a lot of soda, and is spotty about working out, at best, made a comment that the whole wheat pasta I was eating has a lot of carbs in it.…

I tend to go somewhere in the middle. Today is a good example I ran at 6.5 mph for 55 mins the machine said that I burned 750 cals MFP said I only burned 537. I think running at almost a 9 minute mile pace burns at least 10 cals a minute so I averaged it and entered in 60 mins at a 6.7 mph for 614 calorie burn. moral of…

I am short and not that far away from my goal weight counting calories is the only way for me to lose weight and lately it hasnt been working that well but I know I will get back into a groove. or at least i hope :)

when I have days like that I try and do a little bit of everything while staying focused i.e. 15 mins on treadmil, 15 minutes on bike, and 15 on elliptical. Just add a little bit each week you will get into a groove. stick with it! meagan

I also have a college degree that I paid thousands for and had no medical insurance for 18 months. Not to be negative but I experienced severe complications from not having my thyroid medicated. My situation is a little different because I had an overactive thyroid which was also making it difficult to lose weight because…

If your most excited about the cake definitely have a piece. Perhaps make sensible choices at breakfast and at your lunch date if possible. See if you can guilt someone into doing a birthday workout with you! mostly do what will make you happy which should be true every day but especially today!

my boyfriend has his good moments and bad moments. most of time he is considerate enough to ask how my workouts went or take me to the gym when i need a ride and try out healthier recipes that i prepare. However, he does complain about me being gone so much and cant understand why I have to log all my food. i often like to…

treadmill workout I got from a magazine and LOVE min speed 1 5.0 2 5.5 3 6.0 4 6.5 5 7.0 6 7.5 7 8.0 8-9 4.0 repeat 5 times for a 45 minute interval workout.! As you can see it is just moving up in speed at .5 mph increase every minute but you could edit it based on where you are in your fitness start at a lower interval…

Hey! Congrats 11 days is huge. I haven't quit for good yet but when I have in the past it was hard and sad. I did get sad more than edgy and a little lethargic. Hang in there though Im sure it goes away!
