My family and I do tons of fishing. The type of fishing we do does involve quite a bit of movement...... on top of it being 90+ degrees with 95%+ humidity! Got to love Louisiana weather. I have never looked at fishing as someway to burn calories/exercise.

Thanks nishatay!

I have stared back walking and we have a pool, but I want to add in some sort of exercises on the Bowflex. That is something that my husband and I will do togther. I have never done any sort of weight training. I just do not know where to start in that area.

At the start of my diet I was not doing any exercise and lost weight. Now that I am on my second and final ten pounds I am eating the same but have put in some exercise (walking a mile a day plus some sit-ups, lunges, planks etc.) and I can not tell I am loosing any faster but I can tell I am firmer & my body is getting a…

I am new to the whole dieting thing & I am still learning but, MFP has from what I understand my calorie intake set low (1200) so I do not log my daily exercise (which is not a lot, I walk a mile everyday, takes me anywhere from 15 to 20 mins. & then do a couple of sets of crunches, lunges, etc. in the morning & afternoon)…

I agree with more protein. My two go to's are a 2 egg spinach & mushroom omelet for a meal & a banana with peanut butter for a snack. Also, I always try to keep some form of turkey or chicken & boiled eggs in the frig so I can always have protein on my salads.

Well, you could absolutely be right about that but, at some point isn't food whether it be overeating, under eating, or doing a healthy diet, or like what I am trying to do, a life style change, it is all mental/emotional at some point with everyone. No offense taken!!

Being that me and my husband are hunters and fisherman, I would have to say fried fish with homemade french fries, coleslaw, and hushpuppies and fried deer steak with rice/gravy, fried okra, and purple hull peas.

Thank you for the concern but, I promise I do not have a eating disorder or anything like that! I am just having a little trouble dealing with the fact that I always was able to eat what I wanted, when I wanted, never exercise but I was/am very active & never gained weight much even when I was a prego until I hit 37 & boy…

Thanks! Great read!

Thanks, I have been meaning to check my BMR. Since I have been eating such few calories for the last two months it will be a challenge for me to eat more now. I will feel like I am cheating :(

I thought that was weird also being I only weighed 140 when I started this & then when I put in the 10lbs I lost I thought it might recalculate but I did not. That is what it told me so that is what I have been going by. I have not been hungry at all really so I figured it knew more than me!

Have you tried roasting your veggies? Roasted cauliflower is my fav!! Smoothies are a great way to sneak in some veggies also. Pintrest can be your best friend when looking for healthier things to eat. Here is my healthier eating pintrest board if you want to follow. http://www.pinterest.com/tracie_bryan/healthier-eating/

I drink a smoothie every morning for breakfast. I put either 2 handfuls of baby spinach (2 cups) or 1 small/med. zucchini, 1 med. banana, 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, & then 1/2 cup of another fruit. I also do not use frozen fruits because to me they do not have as much flavor as fresh ( I know I am weird). Sometimes…
