How/where did you get your rate tested? I've been wondering if this is possible? Also, theoretically, could you increase that rate by eating more? (Truly wondering bc, as i said, this has been an issue for me.)

igsdesigner: I wanna look like that!

!! I've been there. Heck, i still am but MOST people on this site lose by eating well above 1200, so we should be able to also. We may been to "train" our metabolisms to work better, but it will be worth it. There is nothing more frustrating than eating low calorie, exercising and NOT losing :/ Someone suggested increasing…

He was my second boyfriend but first LOVE. We were friend in high school and college. Married right after i graduated. 11 years and 5 kids later he's still my best friend. :)

Yeah. I would say now is the time to up cals. Longer you wait the harder it is. I did 800 to 1000 for over a year, netting 500 to 700 most days. I've been working since June to "fix" this. Lots of people on here have convinced me that it will work. Best of luck to you!

I know how you feel (bc i feel the same way )but we have to look at the positive: we are working to change. It won't happen overnight and we need to be proud of ourselves for putting forth the effort . :happy:

SURELY not EVERY woman? Lol Op is very pretty. I would be jealous of her :)

Oops. that was for BOb :)

Looks like he's holding a cutie

It's not all its cracked up to be. I'd rather be petite (and thin :)

Healthy, fit, attractive AND a good example to my kiddos.

I just posted this on another thread but worth reposting :) 1/2 cup cottage cheese(2%), 1 TBSP sugar free smuckers, a little splenda and 1/2 pack of crushed emerald cinnamon almonds. Heat for 20 to 25 seconds. It's around 140 cals I think. (I used a full cup and it was 260 cals.)

Not sure how LOW you want (like South BEach Low or Atkins?). If the first, try 2% cottage cheese, splenda, 1 tsp to 1 tbsp sugar free smuckers and some crushed nuts sprinkled on top. (I used 1/2 bag of the emerald cinnamon almonds 100 calorie pack.) Heat for 20 to 25 seconds. Soooo yummy and LOTS of protein.

JUst had a YUMMY non egg breakfast : 1 cup cottage cheese (2%) warmed for 20 seconds, mixed with 1 TBSP sugar free strawberry preserves, splenda and 1/2 pack of Emerald cinnamon roast almonds. (I crushed them and sprinkled them on top.) It was abot 260 cals. Sooooo yummy!

Thanks! I forgot to buy beans at the store last night. Have to get them later this week. Def. haven't cut back on caffeine . (Not with my crazy kiddos :) Thanks for the ideas!

Groundhog Day

THanks! I plant to have yogurt for "dessert" tonight. I'll have to buy some beans. Has anyone ever had them slow weight loss? They are higher in carbs...

corn63: nope.SHe looks nice, but i bet she can be tough ;) Of course, to be fair I prob. wouldn't PURPOSELY steal one from anyone.

Great job! Love when people post pics. REally inspiring.

BTW, you don't need to add me to the chart. If I could just hang out here for support and accountability that would be great!

Chalean extreme burn circuit 3.

None yet. Look forward to being ok with pictures. Letting dh pick me up. Not feeling like people are scrutinizing what i eat. (To name a few :) Oh yeah, and being ok with "lights on".

Thanks! THats what i was hoping. As i've increased cals in past, i've put on many lbs, so i'm nervous about doing that again :)

Thanks!

This happen to anyone else?

Second day of eating more and finding im hungrier. Is that normal? Thank you all again for your insight.
