I did the South Beach Diet a few years back and lost lots of weight which I kept off until 2 years ago when I had to take prednisone. I tried it again recently and it isn't working for me this time. Not sure why. Worked great the first time though

Hi Everyone, It was recommended on some of the forums to come check out this group so here I am. I'm struggling to understand exactly how many calories I should be eating everyday, MFP says something much different from everything else and I don't really understand the TDEE and all of that. Maybe someone on here can help…

I'm in too. I missed April so I'll be posting May 1st :)

I'm in: Starting Weight April 26: 137lbs 1. lose 22lbs 2.Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day 3.Consume under calorie intake (safely) 4. Do 4-5 cardio workouts a week and 2 strength workouts plus a rest day which will include Yoga for relaxation 5. Recognize my progress achievements every week and be proud of myself…

Oh and how do you set this up in MFP

Ok I'm really really confused now. My BMR is 1406 and I burn about 500 a day from exercise so should I be eating 1906 to lose weight then bringing my net to match my BMR at 1406? or am I completely confused

Don't worry the 4lbs isn't fat, it's impossible to gain that much weight in that short of time. It's likely water retention. Stick with it and try and kick up your exercise routine a bit that should help. I'm going through the same thing but I notice changes in my body but not the scale. The scale is not your friend, it is…

Thanks everyone for the great advice. I also have mine set to sedentary because well while I'm at work I'm at a desk all day, all my exercise comes in after work I park my car 3 blocks from home and walk back and forth every time I need to drive somewhere and then of course there's all my work outs. Previously I was a…

I thought I was getting enough fibre, but perhaps I haven't balanced it enough. Ill try and pay closer attention and Ill try the water trick. Thanks for the advice

I do the CX worx class at the gym twice a week and the Ab Ripper X from P90X one day a week

1846 but thats with exercising 1 hour every day

Well it says with the exercise my goals are 1,769 Calories per day 243 Carbs 58 Fat 66 Protien does that sound right? The calorie counting thing is always very confusing to me

Hi Everyone, Would someone look at mine also for the last few days and let me know if I'm on the right track. I'm not done logging for today, I'll likely be having another snack.

I was on the BC pill Tricyclen since I was a teenager. I have a hard time recommending the pill ever since I had a mini stroke from it. I can't take the pill anymore or risk a full stroke so I have the mirena IUD now. I enjoy the IUD nothing to worry about for 5 years periods are mostly just spotting now, nothing to…

Don't you find it has a lot of sugar in it? I checked the nutritional facts and it seems like alot of sugar to me - In reply to the Kashi Ceral

I have that same problem with my step classes. Around the 35 minute mark I start getting exertion headaches and feel like I'm going to barf. What I started doing now is making sure I'm drinking plenty of water, and remembering that if its getting to be too much there are lower options. So I just keep going but I take it…

There are signs around Goodlife with all the LesMills classes, if you look at the bottom they tell you the average calorie burn, the duration of the class and what type of exercise it is. I know its not definitive but it will give you an idea.

I just look around for sales. I've gotten some awesome stuff at the Nike Outlet store near where I live, also Sportcheck sales. Winners

I have a long long history of depression and I'm a constant stress ball. I stress about everything, my life is a struggle more than it is peaceful. What I found helped was getting the depression under control with proper medication and therapy. Once I started feeling a bit better I started makes changes in my life I could…

I'm interested to know how to figure out the nutritional information for things you make yourself at home?

I have the same problem. I'd be interested in finding the answer to this also

As each day passes I try and remind myself why I am doing it and what things make me feel good everyday after doing it. For example I feel stronger now, I can breathe better and my skin looks fantastic. So I remember those things and it pushes me to keep going. On the days I find myself making excuses I do it anyway and at…

To add someone click on their profile and click add friend :) The ticker I, I can't remember how I did that. I think I clicked on the automated one on my profile then personalized it. Once I was done there was a link to add it to the forums I believe.

Hi Everyone, Thank you so much for the encouragement and already making friends. You are all so supportive :) I will be tracking my calories from now on. I track my exercise in advance to make me accountable to do it :) Previously even the thought of exercise made me want to roll over and play dead. I'm really starting to…

Thanks Jamie, nice to meet you. My diary is a bit empty, I have neglected entering information into it recently. I am going to be more diligent about it.
