I had a VERY similar problem when I was in college. I got to the point where I could barely bend over and had to kneel all the time. I went to physical therapy and the therapist gave me a series of core exercises to do. My back muscles were so weak that it was having a trouble doing their job, and was putting a lot stress…

I'm not a strict "clean eater" but lately we've been eating a lot of whole foods. We use the brand Nature's Promise at Stop and Shop (might be an East Coast thing) which is almost clean, or at least most of the products are 100% clean. We also just eat a lot of protein and vegetables, and fruit and cheese and just things…

It does count, but consuming too many artificial sweeteners isn't good. I would try to mix it up, by doing one regular water and one Crystal Light, or maybe just a half packet of Crystal light.

I usually wear my underwear and a t-shirt, no bra. That's it. I figure what they weigh is pretty negligible. But I don't wear jeans or heavy shirts or sweatshirts. If you weigh yourself in public, buy one for your home. You shouldn't be waiting until you go somewhere to weigh yourself anyway. You should do it first thing…

If I weigh at any point in the day that is not first thing in the morning, I'm guaranteed to be higher than I really am. So if you are weighing yourself at the gym, and then weighing yourself first thing in the morning on Monday, then the gym would be higher because you've already have stuff in your system, water weight,…

I was pretty proportional for awhile, but once I tipped over 180 lbs, I definitely became an apple. I could fit my pants just fine, just couldn't button them!

I use Trader Joe's Original Almond Milk. SO GOOD! I don't know why I waited so long to try it. But I can't drink unsweetened almond milk. It's too bitter.

The only weight I "count" is my weight-in on Monday morning, after going to the bathroom, and right before I eat breakfast. All my other weigh-ins are just "check-ins" to see how I'm doing. I do probably 1-2 extra weigh ins throughout the week. But I don't stress about those numbers going up or down.

I weigh myself first thing Monday morning as my "official" weigh in, but sometimes I like to see how I'm doing throughout the week. But I know that my weight fluctuates so I don't really "count" those. Just the Monday morning weigh-in.

I'm type 1 as well! For 17 years. My fat is all over the place, haha, but definitely on my stomach. I'm a pumper and love it. Would love to connect with other type 1s on MFP. I also blog about my life and my diabetes at LemonadeLife.com. Check it out if you'd like. :)

I have type 1 (17 years) and I'm on the pump. I also blog about my diabetes at LemonadeLife.com. Check it out if you'd like! I'm still getting used to this whole losing weight with diabetes thing, but so far it's been OK. Lots of lows though, because I'm losing weight so my body doesn't need as much insulin.

Do you of Ginger Vieira? I've been chatting with her and she told me not to worry about it just yet. She said a lot of things can factor into weight loss, not just body fat. She wrote a book and suggested I take a look at it again (I have a copy). I think I'm going to make sure I'm doing everything optimally before heading…

I'm a type 1 diabetic - I don't have any insulin for my body to release. :) BTW - insulin is released for ALL food with carbohydrates, so that's not entirely accurate anyway. However refined sugar causes an insulin spike, which isn't good for the body. Frozen vegetables are just as healthy as fresh fruits and veggies,…

Sorry, I thought my diary was open - turns out, that was just my profile! So now you can see what I munch on. :) BTW - I don't eat back my calories and I don't intend on doing so unless I have another week or so of no weight loss.

I don't agree with eating back your calories, but I do agree that you are probably burning too many calories for the food that you're eating. I have been recommended to eat 1200-1400 calories, and burn about 300 calories. But if you're burning that many calories (what are you doing btw - that is A LOT!) then you are…

I follow about a 75% clean eating diet. I really like this blog, http://www.thegraciouspantry.com/, that describes clean eating, how to do it, and why to do it. Hope it helps!

I actually upped mine to 1370 (that 1.5 lbs for me) because I kept going under 1200 calories a day and I didn't want my body to react badly to it. So I am aiming for between 1200-1400 and hopefully that will be enough. I think it's important to consume at least 1200, and I kept being afraid of going over. Just wasn't…

I'm at about 5'8" and my goal is 160. But that's just my initial goal. Once I get down there I may re-evaluate to see if losing a few more is realistic. I already have a big enough goal, I don't want to overwhelm myself!

You don't even need to drink 8 cups of water. Most people get a lot of water through food, because a lot of food has water in it. Obviously you want to stay hydrated when working out, and water often fills people up when they think they are hungry. The "8 cups of water" was debunked ages ago.

Yes, that's why I said "average" person. I think it just depends on what you do and how much and for how long, and also how you feel! I probably net out at less than 1200 calories, but I'm still putting in 1370 calories a day total. I think you have to do the best for your body and that will be different depending on how…

I don't necessarily know if skipping breakfast is straight out BAD for you, but I imagine most of us who skip meals would get extra hungry at the next meal, and you might overdo it. However, I personally am never very hungry in the morning and I skipped it all the time when I was in college. Even now I sometimes won't eat…

I disagree with the principles of eating back calories. I try to eat a normal amount of calories (my target is 1370) and I don't eat back calories from my workout. A good friend of mine is a powerlifter and personal trainer, and she said for the average person who works out at the gym, you don't need to eat back your…

Gluten free food are not necessarily lower in fat or calories, in fact, some of the food is actually higher! So make sure you really NEED to be on a gluten free diet. It would be much easier to just go lower carb. Gluten free does not mean carb or calorie free to be careful. But if you do have a sensitivity to it, then it…

I find them not very satisfying and they don't really taste as good as the real thing. It's better to just get some real desserts, like dark chocolate, to satisfy your sweet tooth. I'm getting more into clean eating, and I just don't feel that using a lot of artificial snacks can be that good for us, even if we are losing…

I used to eat them all the time and I think I gained a ton of weight from it. It would be much easier to cook up some organic, no-MSG soup or put on a pot of water and cook up some whole wheat spaghetti, or even making a PB & J sandwich with whole wheat bread, 1 tbsp of organic peanut butter and a little fruit preserve. Or…

I would eat something like a Kashi granola bar. It's has moderate carbs, but protein and it should help fill you up. If you exercise before dinner but well after lunch, you'll definitely want to eat a little something but not too much. Also, don't forget to drink water! I always feel totally wiped out if I'm not staying…

I was told by my personal trainer that you should not eat back any calories. This is what she wrote: "The only time I would really encourage someone to get MORE calories because of exercise is if you're training for a marathon, a powerlifting competition, etc. because not eating enough CAN slow down your metabolism when…

I weigh in on Monday. That's when the week starts with MFP and DailyMile, so that's when I do my weigh-in so I know what I'm starting with.
