Start Sunday June 1, 2014 at 188 Goal Weight 170 Looking forward to the beach and since I live in Orlando, it's not far away! I lost 32 pounds on this site when I started in 2011 but I have gained 20 pounds in the past 6 months just because I quit eating right and I need to get back on track. When I lost it before, I was…

How do I join this group?

Ok, so is it all that detrimental if the sugar is over the goal on a daily basis? It's mainly because of the intake of fruit. It doesn't take much and it's over the limit but I'm of the understanding that there is good sugar and bad sugar. Can anyone explain that to me further?

I do eat regular oatmeal practically every day when it cools off but I can't eat it first thing when it's this hot. Wish I could...that's been on my mind a lot lately but I just can't make myself eat something hot then go out in the hot and humid weather we have here in Louisiana.....thanks for the input though and i will…

Those are the only sugars I use too but it still goes over.... I haven't bought sugar in years but it's inn so many foods. That's why I was concerned. I go over more often than not....so frustrating!!! LOL

I can always add a few carbs with some fresh vegetables or whatever...I am all of a sudden addicted to carrots! LOL

Ok, got it! I'll eat them back and see how it goes. I understand the concept (I think) and I will use it. I've stuck to this 1200 calorie thing now for two weeks and only lost two pounds so I'm rather frustrated since I can't eat any LESS food becaue I am borderline hypoglycemic and I get weak and shaky so I have eat when…

Basically, I just lowered the carbs some and upped the protein which makes more sense to me anyway.

I just set custom goals so I'll see how that goes...

Ok, I figured it out and changed it so we'll see how that turns out!

My calorie goal is 1200 too and one of the guys told me I can change the other goals which I am going to do if I can ever figure out how. I can't find the place to go to in order to do it. I always go over the protein too and think it should be much higher...check the post out where he said he uses of percentage of his…

Thanks everybody....I'm going to go try to tweak the goals to make them reasonable. I NEVER eat up the calories I earn from exercises...seems like defeating the purpose of the exercise...lol

So, in other words, 40 % of your goal for calories...is that what your saying? So, if my calories are 1200, I use those percentages to arrive at my carbs, etc.? I need to figure out how to make those changes....thanks much!

They have it set at 45 and 1200 calories...why are they different, I wonder? Everything I've read the past couple of days says it should be 10 to 20 percent of your calorie intake which would make it much higher. I go over the goal they set every single day. I can never meeth their goals equally....I, myself, think it…
