I was JUST saying to my husband "I used to eat almost a whole row of oreos with milk"! Tonight (after burning 1000 calories exercising today) I had 4 Earth Fare Organic Vanilla Sandwich cookies and almost barfed! haha

Thanks for the advice- I saw a nutritionist once before, I should totally go back! I did just have a whole "everything but the kitchen sink" blood panel run last month due to "repeated random miscarriages". They checked my thyroid and all that so I think it's all good there! I TRY to do the grilled chicken with fruit (or…

For the record, your comments aren't terribly helpful or insightful, just condescending. I HAVE made up my mind to change things (I'm on here tracking daily and in the gym 5 times/week for 400+ calorie workouts), I'm just not sure yet what works best. I am learning and already doing a lot better than I was 3 months ago- it…

Good idea.

I drink my nalgene bottle twice (64 oz?), I just can't remember to track everything so I don't track water. It's all I drink other than my morning coffee/milk since I gave up Diet Coke.

Because it is a HABIT for us to leave school/work at noon and meet up with his friends for playdates at Chick Fil A, etc.

I have a Polar heart rate monitor that I wear during all exercise- it takes into account my age, weight, etc and it is timed. That should be pretty accurate with the calories burned, right?

Like I said, I thought two 150 calorie tacos with salsa instead of cheese would be a decent 300 calorie lunch- I was obviously wrong. I'm mainly surprised that I'm not losing any weight because two months I was eating worse and basically sedentary. I figured doing a little better on eating and exercising a lot would at…

ACK!!!!! Taco Bell is the DEVIL! I was convincing myself I could have some desserts because I was exercising but YIKES the sugar is out of control on those Dianna's Bananas! Our local CSA starts this week so we will have fresh fruits and veggies every week delivered to our hours- I will make sure to eat fruit instead of…

When I started back on here it was still set to my old goal weight and starting weight. I changed them then I got frustrated after a couple weeks and thought "Maybe I need to lose less/more per week" and messed around with it but but it is now back to my original goal. You don't sound mean! haha I NEED to hear these…

Can y'all define "clean"? The taco bell and chick fil a this week weren't my finest hour, but if you look back further we've been doing a lot of grilled chicken and veggies, pita chips and avocado as a snack- aren't those things good? Also, MFP keeps telling me that I'm going over on protein, but y'all are saying there's…

No offense taken! I have a 2 year old and we go to "lunch dates" with friends a lot. My idea of eating healthy is to pick the "best choice", but I think it SHOULD be "just don't go!" haha

Believe it or not, this is "cooking at home a lot" for me! haha We've cut back a lot on how often we eat dinner out. Lunch is still an issue because I have a 2 year old in pre-school and I work while he's in school. I will try to cook more on the weekends- that's a great idea! Unfortunately, we don't have a Chipotle- I…

I'm eating 1500 calories a day, not a lot of sodium (cook from home a lot AND have cut out all soft drinks including diet coke). My clothes are fitting about the same. I don't really have a TOM (Mirena).
