most people dont eat back ALL of their exersise calories, strive to eat only half of the extra calories that should be managable enough, stir in some nuts, olive oil, etc.

i think people start running into this problem because when they enter their journey towards weight loss they cut out so many high calories foods and realize that some low cal foods are very filling. what i mean is you can eat 4 cups of boiled broccoli (100) or a single serving of mac&cheese (250) which do you think will…

my sister will eat mashed potatoes and wipe her plate clean before moving on to the salad, and then clean again before eating the chicken. i dont have many quirks but i do notice that if i am eating something mixed like salad or fruit loops or berries i will eat all of the same kind or color before moving on to the next…

Broccoli has become my new best friend in this journey. i have the cambells v8 garden broccoli soup cartons everywhere (90 calories per serving!!) they are super filling and taste great, and a bunch of bags of broccoli cuts mixed with carrots and cauliflower, just $2 a bag, 30 cal per serving, they are meals that hardly go…

try this: put a jug of water in the fridge with a few slices of lemon, or lime, or cucumber, or strawberries, etc. not enough to turn the water color but just enough that when you drink it theres a hint of something there. if you want something stronger try the new MIO water flavorers

you must not give in and you must watch what you eat, i went on the pill for a little over a year and i gained 30 lbs it is not a joke, going on the pill was the worst thing i ever did to my body. i could only do a particular one since it was to balance a hormone problem but talk to your doctor and try to find one that…

if people have road bikes going on sidewalks actually damages the tire quicker and in some states it is illegal for them to be on the sidewalk, and skinny girls still have body issues and have different ideas of what makes them "fat". a skinny girl used to weighing 110 and suddenly weighs 120 may still be skinny in your…

first my belly/ waist, as soon as i start a diet poof!! and if i do enough abs exersised i can get some killer abs super quick, then i guess my face because my cheekbones pop out more, but those thighs/ hips / butt just wont budge!!!!!!!!!

ohhh so on low carb diets people stay away from PROCESSED carbs? such as pasta and bread??? that makes a lot more sense. thank you so much for explaining. ps: for everyone else im not looking to start a new fab diet i just wanted to understand the logic behind this particular one.

NO ONE HERE SHOULD THINK THEMSELVES AN EXPERT. we're all here because we have at some point strayed from a healthy diet, and we're all trying to heal our bodies of the damage we've caused. everyBODY is different and we crave different things we have different exercise limits, and no one knows my body better than myself. we…

mfp doesn't actually give you the same number of calories to eat back that you burn it gives you less, add building muscle exersises (abs, push ups, weights, etc) and you actually burn a whole lot more because mfp doesnt give you calories for those

yes, but always scheduled. i allow myself to indulge one meal one day ( but i plan them out so i have to cook myself and its when we are running low on junks and snacks). or i schedule it so its on someones birthday or so because i will have to go no matter what and i dont like dealing with the whole "no cake thanks, im on…

first of all STOP DOING THE SAME THING EVERY DAY, your body gets used to it. try doing 40 mins one day, then another working on upper body strength (push ups, biceps and triceps curl) running on the elliptical as fast as you can for 5 mins between each set (5 sets total), then another day for core strength, lower body, and…

I think once you reach your healthy weight range for your height the difference will be drastic, i know it sucks but tough it out and keep on doing what you're doing DONT STOP. In a way you dont want to see the difference because theres a chance you'll 'settle' thinking "well i look better than before, i can take a day…

This exact thing actually happened to me when i first started dieting!!!! i have a very low tolerance for pain so i went to the doc. he said that what was causing this was the change in the food i ate in the sense that my stomach was used to producing a certain amount of acid to digest a large amount of calories that i had…

TEAM LESS!!! and when i cant take it no more or i binge thats when the crazy guilt exersising starts

can everyone please stop with the eating disorder claim attacks??? a mcdonalds burger is less filling than a potful of broccoli and still you eat less calories with the broccoli, on a diet o fruits and veggies it is simply easier ti eat less calories because you feel super-full!!! i suggest including more nuts into your…

explore the seafood section!!!! salmon, tilapia, even cod and shrimp!!!! they have lots of healthy nutrients and are a good source of protein without the heavy fats of red meat!!! try grilling some fish with lemon juice a nice serving of veggies on the side and light and fit ( only 80 calories!!! ) yogurt for dessert!!!

im experiencing something similar, before when i would be watching tv and a food comercial would come on (like taco bell, dq, red robin, etc) id get crazy cravings now im next to puking because of them

the only bad thing is that (like many fruits) they have A LOT of sugar

its ok to eat one, make it a treat for yourself. once a week or once ever 2 weeks or once every month. but tell yourself which day you're going to eat it and use it to motivate you. go to the gym, work out eat healthy and when you're tired of the taste of broccoli or of the treadmill just tell yourself " just X days until…

i spiked up about 4 lbs a few days before i started my period then about 2 days in it all disapeared, still on my period and i havent lost anymore in a week but hopefully 1 lb will come off once im done

i baked a huge batch of brown sugar cookies ate like 6 skipped dinner and my workout this morning (fell asleep)

i truly like it, today i baked brown sugar cookies using the splenda brown sugar blend, i used half the amount from the recipe and i got these amazing sweet biscuits that were to die for. they werent too sweet at all but they were kind of like sweeter scones. absolutely delicious.

Im still young but i also dream of being a housewife and working from home and like you when i tell people this they start yelling at me about feminism and how women have fought for years to be able to work. the thing is they fought for the CHOICE to work. i recomend watching MONA LISA SMILE, amazing movie about this very…

i was thinking of using it as an extra boost when i hit a plateau...

AUSSIE!!!!!!!!!! moist shampoo + 3 minute miracle + leave in conditioner spray before you blow dry it (the spray also helps manage frizz and makes it super shiny!!!!)

first of all im not for or against the diet pills. talk to your doctor, if you are medically obese or are experiencing symptoms of health complications due to your weight and losing weight would fix it (diabetes, heart conditions etc) the benefits of the diet pills outweigh the possible side effects. so if you're doctor…

because you DO things throughout the day, from smiling to running you're burning calories all day so you should eat the most at the beginning of the day and have the meals become gradually smaller throughout the day. after dinner you do little to no activity so all those food and calories are sitting in your stomach not…

this is an interesting piece of advice on this topic that i came across through cosmo that has really helped me out. sometimes ordering the plainest and healthiest dish on the menu is still seriously taking you off track because of the portion sizes. especially is you're with people its easier to get distracted and its…
