Yes, there is soooo much information out here that I tend to get lost and, in the process, hurt my chances of achieving my small goals. I, too, am trying my best to focus on "regular" foods that are whole that I can eat during maintenance. I've tried fad diets and crap in the past but now I need to really focus on this…

Today was my first day trying to make 1700 calories. I've never thought I was one of those people who didn't eat enough...but now with help from you, and other posters, I've come to the fun realization that I need to up my calories...which seems will be another challenge! But at least I can put my apples and peanut butter…

Thank you for responding! The think thin bars were for protein. I found these to be high in protein with 0g of sugar

First I read an article that said my protein should be 45-50% of my macros. Other than that I just went by the defaults on MFP. What is the ideal protein target for fat loss? I'm currently jogging about 3 times a week and doing heavy weights 1-2 times per week

And struggling is exactly what I've been doing. I just reset my goals and that took me to 1700 calories a day...this scares me, but you're the second person today to tell me this so it must work! Thanks for the feedback!

Fish...I always forgot about the fish girl! Thanks for reminding me

I am 5'2 and 160lbs and I need to lose close to 20, but I'll take inches over pounds any day...thing is...I've been struggling to lose ANYTHING over here! And I really think it's because I'm not eating the right things and it's really becoming frustrating. MFP gave me 1200 calories...are you telling me 2 lbs a week is…

My diary will look pretty much like this for the next couple weeks...so if there's something I can nip in the bud now...that'll be great

Oh how I wish there were replies here :(

I started yesterday for the "ump-teenth" time. I've never gotten to level 2, but I did go through the full workout without stopping which is more than I can say from my past experiences with it. So, now I'm motivated to get these next 9 days behind me so I can finally see what level 2 is all about

One day at a time!

Thx @strong_curves

I'm going to try something new today but I'm just so tired of working so hard and only seeing my scale go UP...it doesn't even stay the same...I'm actually .2 more pounds than when I started. Yes, I initially lost 3 pounds in the first week...but idk what changed. And then seeing my fiancé just disappear in front of my…

And I eating too much protein? I usually eat just 4 oz of whatever protein I'm having for lunch and dinner.

I knew my food was too tasty to be good. I love sweet potatoes and everything else you named. I just figured if I stayed under the percentages that I would be good. @livingleanlivingclean

Thx @gonebeast Sometimes I forget that the exercise part has been added into the equation and end up eating the amount of calories it says I have left!
-
Yes, I'm using a food scale, but I have been focused on keeping my sugar, calories, sodium, and carbs down. I just don't know where I'm going wrong. Should I be walking faster, eating less of something, changing my meals??? I eat pretty much the same things every day

Interested

We've all lost our way at some point...I guess. Im usually a self starter, self-motivated person; but NOT when it comes to diet and exercise! And it doesn't help that my boyfriend is itty bitty and LOVES to bring his junk food home! Anyways, you guys feel free to add me and we'll see what we can work out!

Jello cups...YUM!! This will be soooo much easier when I move BACK on my own this weekend! My fam loves to snack...so there's the temptation! When I did stay alone I never bought sweets, so I wholly agree on the fact that if you don't buy it...you won't eat iT!

The first week was the HARDEST, but eventually the soreness went away, and I was able to breath better...even got a little jog in the second week. I'm now on my 3rd week!

Very Good Suggestions! I've never heard the brushing teeth part! Thanks!
