to be honest, i was NEVER a chocolate girl, and i mean ever! i loved candy, but fruity stuff... nothing too rich... that all changed when i quit eating sweets... ive never craved chocolate more in my entire life! but i quite enjoy salty foods... and i dont think gender has much to do with what you crave. but thats my…

welcome!!! good luck on reaching your goals and if you would like, you may add me :)

welcome!!! congrats on making the first step! :smile:

added you :tongue:

dont feel doubtful, feel encouraged! you've made the first step by admitting your insecurities and food struggles and your want to change them. you can do this! btw i think your a beautiful person and being someone who "carries it well" also i understand your self esteem issues but the harder you try to be healthy, not…

daily goal - 1720 cals overall weight to lose - 10 -15 lbs but i'll settle for 10

yes you can, just go to your goals and customize them :)

this is true. when you signed up the calorie deficit was immediately put into place and thats what gives you your daily intake, if you exercise, you need those cals back to fuel your body so eat those cals!

keep up the good work, you're looking fabulous!

actually, i have also been diagnosed with acid reflux AND ibs... and i will tell you that for most of my life i have suffered from both of these in various degrees. sometimes it was worse than others and sometimes not as bad... on march 16 i stopped drinking sodas or eating candy/sweets/pastries. i started eating…

i personally believe its both the type of food and calorie count. Most of the prepackaged junk food you buy is high in sodium, sugars, and fats... Its not that you cant lose weight counting just cals but you wont be able to eat as much, have a much energy, feel as healthy, or be as full as you would if you were to eat…

holy cannoli i was just thinking this! btw shes right ya know, you do look nice with a thinned out face! :)

you can alter your ratios by going to your goals and customizing them :)

as far as i can tell by research as long as your listening to your body and have no previous heart conditions your heart should be in good shape to take such a workout. many elite atheletes do this on a routine basis and they seem to do ok. but if you are still concered i would suggest consulting with a doctor to get a…

i count it all too... best to do so when you want to know exactly what you put in your body :)

way to reach your goal! yay!

thank you! and your day will come, im sure of it! :smile:

you should check out the stickies at the top of the "general diet and nutrition" section in the forum, that may help answer your questions :)

way to go!!! and i agree, there really is nothing better than being smaller than the spouse! :)

it may be a good idea to try and log your meals before you consume them, i do that every day and plan for the next and make sure to get alot of small calorie snack in the mix of my meals and i find it to become harder as you go along to fill those cal limits... hopefully this helps!

are you counting the calorie that are in beer as well? if not that may be a factor... just a thought
