Veggies and fruit! I usually have a nice big salad at lunch, with plenty of veggies, and for snacks I'll have fruit or veggies/hummus. And if I do eat rice or bread, it's always brown rice and wheat bread, which has more fiber. If you open your diary up, we can see what you're eating and how you may be able to incorporate…

Feels so good to be back on track!! Originally I was planning on adding in 3 days of cardio at the gym on my P90X lifting days, but then I realized that I'm less likely to get the P90X workouts in, so I'm just sticking to the regular schedule. So I just finished my workout for today, and if possible, I'll squeeze in a…

Yes! Yes! Yes!! I am totally in and ready to go....let's do this! Thanks for starting this....what a great idea!

Hello, fellow-thyroid person! :) I might have to steal your little trick here. I too have to wait an hour before eating (although I do have a cup of coffee with my pill), and I should use that time to drink water. Strangely, I also drink more when it's through a straw - maybe a kickback to when we were younger? I don't…

I guess my question to the OP would be....why do you want to take them? It's an honest question and one that I think is very important. Here is my personal experience with them: In high school, I popped Dexatrim, 20 per day. To the person who said it is an enabler for anorexia and bulimia, I say heck yeah I agree! I…

Oh I understand!!! I did a 2 step approach - first I told myself that I could eat breads if they were whole wheat, whole grain, etc. Basically, no white bread, which is essentially just sugar. Then, I cut down servings of that to 1 or 2 per day. I have to say, I feel WONDERFUL, have tons of energy, and now don't crave it…

I love the omelette idea! I do love salads, but I tend to like unhealthy ones, LOL. I guess I'll have to challenge myself to lighten them up! Thank you! :)

I hear ya!!! I can't tell you how many times I've started and done well, and then dropped off again. You'd think the loss would be motivating, but somehow I found it hard to keep going. I'm more determined than ever this time, though, and I'm sticking with it! I find that just getting online and MAKING myself track my food…

Well now I'm thinking about it and it makes sense. MFP says for me to eat 1380, but when I exercise, it adds those calories back in, so that I'd be eating 1380+700 or so, around 2000 calories. The site we both used to calculate says to eat about 2000, or 1770 for extreme weight loss. They ask you how often you exercise,…

Interesting. MFP wants me at 1300 calories, and the website you posted, which is the one I used when I signed up for MFP, has me at 1776 for "extreme weight loss." I tried 1700 at first, and didn't lose, then 1500, and still not losing. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I'm thinking of dropping down to 1300 and then…

Thank you all for your replies! I do get what you're saying about 4 pounds being really good, but *for me* it's terrible. Every time I've stuck to a good diet and exercised, I've dropped weight like crazy. The reason why I gained it back was because I went back to eating crap. So while 4 pounds might be good in general,…

Hi all! I just recently joined MFP, but am at the end of Week 3 of P90X. I am loving it, but have to admit that Yoga is my downfall. I'm supposed to do it tonight and I HATE IT!!! I'm doing Classic. Have only lost about 2 pounds, but have lost inches and joining MFP is keeping my nutrition in check so I hope to do really…

bump....anyone?

Thank you!!! I didn't realize I could actually put in "strength training" under the cardio workouts. It gave me about 300 calories, which seems MUCH more accurate.
