Thanks. I think that was the issue!

"There, however, some very general estimates made about the number of calories Pilates burns. My survey of online calorie calculators showed an average measure of 191 calories per hour for a 120lb person, 206 calories per hour for a 130lb person, 238 calories per hour for a 150lb person, and 286 calories per hour -- all…

Just be cautious with all those beans sprouts and the pesticides they're sprayed with - get organic if you can afford. Rather be a little heavier than sick or cancerous.

Oh that is a good idea - putting it into my calories right away. Also I didnt realize there was such a big difference between red and white - I like both, but have been drinking more white with summer temperatures and foods, maybe moving into red will help. 530 for a bottle of red?

Also if you are working out - I beg you - get this scale http://www.amazon.com/Omron-Full-Sensor-Composition-Monitor/dp/B0020MMCDE/ref=dp_cp_ob_hpc_title_3 When you are working out your are gaining muscle which weighs MORE than fat... so you may have weeks like this where you don't weigh a lot less. I always base my week's…

yeesh although now looking at the 750 cals I drank last night, thinking I need to change away from white wine...

I save calories for my wine on the weekends but I also drink a lot less now that I am making an effort to lose weight. On a day when I am planning to drink I try to make sure my food choices are good but not highly caloric and then if I know it is going to be the kind of evening where I have a whole bottle of wine, I…

Really? Carb timing is a myth ? That is amazing news. Because I want carbs way more at the end of the day than the beginning. If protein keeps me fuller longer ya it makes sense to eat that breakfast and lunch but if carbs make me feel sated at night and peeve r me from overeating then maybe I should switch it up- I've…

ETOH? What is that?

I guess I am wondering if 'being under" is psycholigically enough for the original poster (and for me) - even if I am under, if I end the day with a huge meal and know I am going to sleep on it and know it is going to get stored much differently than if I ate protein or ate those same calories more evenly distributed over…

I didn't realize my food diary was closed! Thanks for the heads up.

20 miles this morning! WOW. Tell me that was your LR of the week?

I totally appreciate that we need to foster a community of healthy weight loss/maintenance and healthy choices, compassion, support, and I do apologize if anyone is offended or unhappy with my question. I think I just am hoping to supplement my effort with ideas I hadn't thought of for a short term goal within a long term…

Report from last night I ate a 100 cal pack of almonds at 5:15 pm and went into the date with 940 cals to spare. I walked to the restaurant (20 minutes brisk). I arrived and realized my date was a lot older than I remembered (sigh) and felt a bit overdressed having come straight from work. started with a big glass of…

Personally I disagree that eating subway is putting something into one's body that nutures it and gives it quality energy. Subway sprays their vegetables to keep them fresh - above and beyond the pesticides already on them, the bread is full of sugar, and the meat and cheese are highly processed. I dont' think mcDs is any…

I use distraction technique. I "think" I'm hungry a lot more than I actually am - this comes from both 1) emotional hunger and 2) not eating enough throughout the day and then feeling so hungry that when I eat I don't eat slowly enough or take a long enough break that I eat too much thinking I'm still hungry. so. I…

1 cup 1% cottage cheese (lots of protein and keeps me full) - 200 cals or 1 cup Fage 0% with 2 tbsp toasted slivered almonds and 1/4 cup of blueberries or 2 poached eggs over tomato slices (weekend) or 3 rice cakes with pumpkin seed butter and apple slices. to keep me going I have a 100 cal pack of natural almonds at about…

Also Netchik - GREAT GOALS and rewards!!! If you have any questions about South Africa, I have a million suggestiosn.

I seriously doubt he's "the one" a bit of an age difference but I am taking my friends advice and saying "yes" to (practically) anyone who has the courage to ask. But I agree with your sentiment. But I think my birthday slimdown goal is a more important priority than enjoying this particular date...

and use protein enriched flour

Cheese plate with crackers and baguette. There is NO stopping me.

It is a blessing but I'm not into dessert! I'd rather have an extra glass of wine than a cake any day. Thanks for all the great advice. Kate

can't do sauce on the side in front of a chef (I cook a lot too and used to cook professionally and would be mortified to do so...) thinking the salmon or the bison tartar. thanks for the advice. I missed my workout this morning and wont have a chance between work and date...

PUMPKIN SEED BUTTER! It is the highest in protein and is all the good fats of almond butter - it tastes amazing. My naturopathic doctor who is also supervising my diet recommends 2 ricecakes with pumpkin seed butter and sliced apple as a delicious 200 cal breakfast. I love it! I eat it with a spoon as a snack!

If it is really giving your self esteem a run for its money, I'd recommend saving up for laser removal. Yes, cosmetic procedures are expensive but if they give you comfort in your body, they are worth it.

sounds like you'd benefit from some core workouts - crunches, planks, pilates, anything that builds muscle (which will cause you to gain weight but tone your middle -) muscle weighs more than fat - so better to measure yourself than weigh yourself if you are increasing your exercise. if you are just dieting and no…

GREAT IDEA - trying that now!

We eat either there or at another pub type place down the street. The money saving on lunch is nice but the fear over what to eat and how it is prepared is a downside. It would be frowned upon to bring my own lunch or skip out on the working lunch. I'm seeing a lot of greens with grilled chicken/salmon in my future - maybe…

Same feel free to add me vsalter - Good luck! Drinks lots of water!
