I think I do that at least 3 times a week, without even thinking about it, sometimes I just dont want me, or anything else for that matter, but I do not eat red meat, and if I do its on very rare occasions. ground trukey, chicken, or porkchops are the meats I eat. And since its so hot meat just makes me feel sluggish.

Hi Marty, I think that the problem may be due to the heat...I have been in the same situation...and I have found that I have fluctuated within the 4 to 6 lb. range over the past few weeks. I live in SC and we have had some atrocious heat, and that will cause you to retain water. Also our bodies change and sometimes with…

Yes I've been through this too...Actually its gotten to the point that I don’t eat meals at work i just brings snacks like pretzels and fruit, because I don't get that hungry...Another factor is that it’s HOT when I get hot I don’t eat much. As far as the calories go, i try to eat as much as I can but I have been WAYYY…

From what i understood from my Dr. is this. Using myself as an example....In order for me to get to the weight that I was at when I 1st started meant that I had to have eaten the amount of calories x10...(example) I started off weighing 333, meaning that I had to have been eating approx. 3330 calories on a daily…

I log all my exercise, my setting at this point is 1650 calories, and my exercise goal for the week is 30 minutes a day 5x a week. BUT I usually go over the weekly goal for the amount of calories burned and the amount of time. And although it does add to the calories you are allowed to have. It won’t hurt you to eat maybe…

My family loves pizza...so instead of going overboard with pizza hut, or little Caesars things like that we make our own. As a matter of fact I’m having pizza tonight. I use: Flour Tortillas (White or wheat) Mozzarella cheese (reduced fat, or low moisture)...whatever is on sale lol Turkey pepperoni (taste just as good as…

It may be that your body has gotten use to the running, you have to switch up, if your body gets used to a certain exercise then it doesn’t effect your body that much, but if you switch up you’re tricking your body to burn more energy and that in turn burns more calories. It’s not an easy road and kudos to you for losing…

if its over 20 or 30 mins I log it, if its something like fixing an egg I dont. Now cleaning I do log. you dont realize how much u move when you clean especially if you have kids becuase you're doing a lot of bending and stuff like that, if its a small thing like sweeping I dont, but If i clean the WHOLE house I log it,…

I totally get where you are coming from, just went to the store yesterday to grocery shop, and me too being a single mother I also have a budget. So when I buy items I try to by healthy for me and then a little extra for my child, I went to get some bread, normally my child eats white bread no big deal to me, so I got the…

I agree with all of the above suggestions. I use the Wii for the majority of my exercise since its so hot outside. But doing the Wii with the kids makes it sooo much more fun. I was playing Tennis on Wii sport and before I know it I was doing it for almost an hr. Another thing is I use it for stress...Like with Wii Sports…

WOW!!! I sooo needed this this morinng...Although I have not e-mailed this guy, and didnt even know who he was until now...I felt like he was talking to me. Thanks for posting!! I feel sooo much better now.

Would it be safe to manually lower the amount of calories for the daily goal?

What triggered my bad eating habits were coping with my life, trying to feel the void that I had for so many years with food. As a child at 9yrs old I was molested by my stepfather, and it went on for many yrs. I was 16yrs old when I found out I was pregnant with my daughter and it was by my stepfather...during that time…

Call me naive, but I honestly did not realize that there are calories in pretty much EVERYTHING that you eat...Something as simple as a grape, or carrot...I am learning A LOT with MyFitnessPal...and it makes me very aware of what I’m putting in my mouth and how much.

I think I may like this =)

I don’t do too many starches now that I watch what I eat, I do eat carrots and brown rice...I guess it depends on the person and what they like. You hear different things all the time, one person may say don’t eat those items where as another may say u should eat these items. I know my Dr. told me to be sure to eat protein…

. By looking at what others are saying I think I may try this INSANITY work out...my friend has it and she offered it to me...I have been walking everyday, and also doing "Just Dance 2" on the Wii which gets your heart rate pumping...But I know eventually I will need something else to keep my motivation and attention…
