MFP recommends to some people 1200 calories daily with a sedentary lifestyle. so the quote you quoted is not actually inaccurate or unnecessary for this forum. For me, i should be consuming 1200 calories daily and exercising 2-3 times per week. i don't need to eat back what i lose in the exercising because i'm not supposed…

Drink more water throughout the day and especially before bed. You're probably just thirsty but your body can't tell the difference

eggs usually fill me for a good chunk of the day. I'm trying something new this week but usually i like to have an eggwhite omelet filled with a meat and veggies with a meat on the side.

no this is false with corn.there is a difference between cupcakes (which ARE digestable just a matter of time) and corn. the shells of corn kernels are actually indigestible and don't entirely break apart when you chew either. so - and this may be gross - its not the corn you're seeing come through your body undigested. it…

Be HONEST with yourself about how much exercise you're actually doing so you know how many calories you actually need to consume. I like to think that i'm going to workout everyday but i really don't. I'm very busy with work and very tired at the end of the day. So i need to consume less than i actually would like to think…

butt and then arms

5lbs in 3 weeks is good. also you're working out.. you're building muscle. so it may not read on a scale but you're losing fat and gaining muscle.

Have you been walking or doing anything for exercise to help get rid of the binge? Don't be afraid of eating more just do some extra workout of whatever type that you like to do to make up for it.

The weight gain would not be overnight. you'd see the effects gradually on the days going forward. The person who told you the body cannot process all 24 cupcakes was right about that but wrong about not gaining the weight. You will gain the weight and keep gaining for longer than you wanted until your body has been able…

Eat a hearty breakfast. Eggs with cheese, maybe an omelete with everything. Bacon, sausage. with toast or just a bagel with everything on it... or more than just bran cereal maybe frosted miniwheats or cap'n crunch or something with more calories than bran. To your lunch: fast food.... or add more mayo on your tuna. and…

This sounds just like me. And really helped. Thanks :smile:

I've deleted people from other sites but not here. So far I only have one friend on here and she's been very helpful and motivational.

It's fine not to have fruit! I personally love it. But while i'm watching what I eat, trying to lose weight, etc. I try to stay away from it and only have it when my mom puts it in a smoothie. It's full of sugar and while i'm trying to stay away from other sugars, i just try to limit myself all together.

1) In terms of you "making up for it" with another meal before dinner: No. It is not okay for you to "make up for it". What i mean by saying it's not okay is that you can't think of it as making up for it. Think about this. If you miss breakfast and lunch is it okay for you to eat all three meals at one time? No. You'll…

A medication I was on contributed to my gaining 30+lbs in a year and prohibited me from losing any of that weight so i know how you feel in terms of that. Try doing increments. 2 minutes slowly cycling then 1 minute a little bit harder or even just 30 seconds. then go back to 2 minutes of slow easy riding. Breaking it up…

thanks!!!

where can i find that? sorry i'm new to this site and trying to keep track of things in general

if you're struggling to reach 1200 calories then i don't think you'll eat too much. if you're full but want the extra calories, then drink. and i don't just mean alcohol just have a drink of something with calories if you don't want to eat anymore.

it's actually more than it seems as the eggwhites spread out a lot. the omelet ends up taking up most of the plate. it's also not the only thing i eat at breakfast :smile:

I tried searching for it in the database but there weren't any prior postings of the same ingredients. :ohwell: which is why i'm asking for help

yes, sorry i'm a bit distracted wishing it was the end of the work day!

This is a place where people can come for motivation and support in their fitness goals. Not a place where people should feel threatened because they "aren't as smart" as others or "ask dumb questions" or may not have actually read a post about a certain topic. Weren't you ever taught that if you don't have anything nice…

Finding a way to make it fun is a great idea!

Everyday: The weight you are in the morning after your first pee is usually the most accurate as you're not carrying around all the food/water buildup from the day before your body has digested it. I typically weigh myself about twice a day. First time is in the morning as thats usually the most accurate (assuming you've…

Whatever-you-want-to-call-them days are necessary. Think about it this way. If you don't eat these foods until you're done with your diet or plan, then your body wont be used to them anymore. <<-- that is a big pain. you'll have gas, bloating, constipation, and feel all over terrible. If you have these "cheat" days every…
