  • I did Atkins about 2 years ago with my fiance. He LOVED it (steak? bacon? pork rhinds? HECK YES) and the pounds just poured off of him, but I was miserable (I still lost weight, almost 8 lbs the first week alone). I had headaches and struggled really hard to eat my 17-19 net carbs a day because I was always so FULL. Plus I…

  • Yesterday I had enough calories left over for 2 jalapeno poppers with no dip. Jalapeno poppers are my favorite food, ever since I was a little girl. I was watching Once Upon a Time on Netflix and fiance was nibbling on the box of poppers he made, and I ate 2 more than I should - so 4 total. :( 150 calories over. I should…

  • A lot of people say you should be eating back atleast half your burned calories from exercise, so I try to do that. Some days I just want to eat so I eat back them all.

  • Don't go for a walk/jog/run when it's raining and your streets are prone to flooding. I went out for a walk today despite the thunderstorm. I was about to cross the street and turned around because I thought I heard a car, then fell face first into a lake of water that accumulated on the street. Tried to get up and fell…

  • Try getting in more protein and/or fiber (protein preferred, especially if you're low.) If you don't want to eat chicken all day, try my very favorite protein "shake" recipe. Trust me on this - it tastes like a regular shake!!! - 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder (you can find this at almost any drug store and…

  • Yeah, the first post I accidentally forgot to change male to female. :laugh: But I edited that post with the new totals, which is still high to the point where I don't know if I could eat that much. I would feel like a balloon all day.

  • Ok I think I figured out that calculator... According to the website, my Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is 2000. My Daily calories to maintain weight (TDEE) is 2750. :huh: That's nuts. It says I should be eating 733 calories a meal if I eat 3 meals a day - 2199 calories! I can't imagine eating that much, holy cow!!! :noway:…

  • Before I eat a meal, I always drink 1 glass of water. I also have high fiber snack bars and protein shakes. Some protein shakes are store bought, but I invested $20 and purchased vanilla whey protein powder at CVS. I mix 1 scoop of the powder, 1 cup skim milk and 1 tsp of cinnamon in a blender to make myself a Cinnabon…

  • I find that if I eat something TOO sugary (for example, Skinny Cow caramel chocolate doesn't trigger it, but a chocolate chip cookie will), I will get hungry really fast, despite the fact that I just consumed a bunch of fiber and protein not even 10 minutes before. I think that the cookies might be causing your hunger.

  • Well, I work in a museum 3 days a week (temporary, soon to be unemployed as of June - but that's another worry >.>). When I work there, if I'm in the "back" I basically spend 6 hours 100% sitting. If I'm in the front, I sit about 80% of the time and stand/walk around 20% of the time - and then it's only a short walk around…

  • I'm 5'2" and my calorie intake is at about ~1430. I exercise 30 minutes a day, 6 times a week but other than that I'm a couch potato.:flowerforyou:
    in 5'3 Ladies how many calories are you eating to lose weight?? Comment by phoenixx866 May 2014
  • I don't call them "cheat" days, I call them "slingshot" days. Because sometimes you do need to indulge a little bit to kick your diet back on track.
