That's a good question. Especially because they say when you weigh less you don't need to eat as many calories. So maybe Sally's body would get to a point were 1200 calories (example number) would keep her at the same weight. Like if I ate 1200 calories a day for the rest of my life I would eventually not lose anymore…

I personally would skip the logging. I would have very low cal breakfast and lunch. And just pick up in the swing of things the next day! Have fun and ENJOY it. This is what I do when my husband takes me to a fancy place. We don't ALWAYS need to worry about how many calories are in each bite :P lol you want to enjoy it,…

Pickles are yummy snacks! Just watch the sodium. Also I love spagetti squash with a little salt and pepper! Hmmm, any veggies are great snacks. And I'm not sure if it's the same for anyone else but I always go WAY over in carbs but stay with in my calories. I don't think carbs are crucial to restrict, I go over and still…

Hey! I'm sure you'll love this site. And a suggestion of mine would be to try logging your food before you eat it, that way you know where you stand BEFORE you go over on calories!! goodluck :bigsmile:

do it!! you'll feel GREAT when you're done! :bigsmile:

wow, 43 pounds already! that's great, keep up the good work. Mfp is great, i'm sure you'll love it!! :happy:

I've always heard to take your weight and divide it by 2 and that's ATLEAST how many ounces you need daily

Maybe you're not getting enough good carbs? Make sure you get carbs from whole grains breads and pastas and fruits and veggies. Also if you're taking a daily multi vitamin already starting to may help. I take vitamin b-complex pills which are really important for energy and stamina. But that's all i can think of....hope…

Top 5 worst drinks: 1. Margarita in a pint glass (2 oz. tequila, 2 oz. margarita/sour mix, 1 oz. triple sec, lime juice, 1 tsp. sugar) - 550 calories (11) 2. Mudslide (1.5 oz. coffee liqueur, 1.5 oz. Irish cream, 1.5 oz. vodka) - 417 calories (8.5) 3. Long Island Ice Tea (1 oz. vodka, gin, rum, tequila, and triple sec, 2…

nonfat cottege cheese - low in calories & carbs very high in protein!!! try putting almonds in it for an awesome snack :love:

i used to have the same problem then my sister suggested buying spinach and a bunch of healthy salad toppings. So everyday i always have my spinach salad with anything from raisins, sunflower seeds, hot sauce, almonds, fruits, tuna, chicken, so this way i'm not focusing on the salad...i focus on the great flavor of…

i think it meant sep 07.....like september 7th. That seems the just the time it should be expiring if you just bought it. If it was from last year it was smell outrageous!

hey, i"m really not familiar with the tints of nature dye but i do know that going lighter at all is always harsher. Going dark actually condtions it more. But i think as long as your not highlighting every couple weeks and you leave a good amount of time in between your hair dying sessions then i'd say go for it! just…

i've never done any type of diet like that but i do know that carbs are an essential part of a person's diet because they fuel energize your body. so that could definately be a part of why you're so exhausted....maybe you're going to low on carbs...?

i have one meal a week that i cheat on and don't really care about logging.....and it's usually on the weekend after a long hard week - like a reward :tongue: also, i try to make my cheating healthy......i love hotdogs and all that good stuff but now i eat veggie burgers and veggie dogs! they're just as good hamburgers and…

alright, sounds good. thanks guys!

so tonight i went out to a baseball game and went over on my calories :( ......i've been doing so good! dang it. but i was wondering if i should try to go under calories tomorrow because i went over so much today?

i am by no means a professional or anything but a few tips that have helped me get out of my...eating everything fase has been..... *not letting myself keep treats in the house.....if you want sweets go out and share 1 dessert with a friend *keep lots and lots of fruits and veggies around so you can munch on those with out…

don't be so hard on yourself :ohwell: i know it's easier said then done but you should be proud that you did what you could to make your going out to eat more healthy and calories. As long as you're making effort (which it sounds like you're making a great effort!!) to be healthy! we all have our down days though, even for…

or does that not answer your question.......i'm not exaclty sure what you're wondering

welcome! and from what i know you want to eat as close to that as possible....because maybe your body wasn't getting enough calories before and went into starvation. when i irst started i felt like they gave me a ton of calories but i think that helped me to eat more healthy snacks here and there

I love fitnesspal and the way it logs my calories but i also found another great sight that gives you health tips on how to reach all your food groups each day! So you"re not just eating calories you"re picking the right calories!! www.MyPyramid.gov

yeah, and i feel really good. i think i do the same as you, i just choose low calorie foods so it's hard to reach my calorie number

i have the same problem too! everyday i have like 500 calories leftover, but feel content throughout the day....
