Sorry about that. I am eating 1800 as I ease in. MFP says to eat 1200, but for me, right now, that would be sabotage. I will work to get down to 1200 calories, but for now, I am focusing on eating less and eating more whole foods. The first week on MFP, I just logged food (without "dieting") I was eating well over 2500…

Thank you! I didn't even know about those sites! I will check them out!

I am 34 years old. All my hormone levels, etc looked great according to my doctor.

I am right in the middle of my cycle. In retrospect, I did eat a lot of sodium yesterday. Thank you.

I posted in a fit of rage and thought I deleted this from the other thread. But thank you, I will check!

Thanks for your encouragement! I do need to remember it will just take time. Right now, I am doing spin class at least 2 times a week for at least 40 minutes and also doing strength training once a week (for now, may move it up as I get more fit). I did look back at my food diary and I have very little in the way of…

Thanks so much for your input! I really appreciate it :) I think I will invest in one...and maybe start with a video until I get down some moves (lol :) and then maybe I can just do it while watching tv, listening to music, etc. Thanks again!!

I know this post is from a while back, but I was wondering... those of you who have been successful, did you "just" jump? Jog? I really want to try this, and would love to just be able to put music on or watch HBO while I jump, but will that burn a fair amount of calories? Or do I need a video to go with the mini…

ahhh, thanks everyone. It helps to see your posts. I guess it is only 2 pounds...and I should definitely be drinking more water (that is the one thing I have not been keeping track of and need to). Thank you. Feeling less discouraged.. :/

Bump! I have the same question!

wait, was this the one featured on Oprah??

Oh! I wouldn't mind be your buddy! :) I have heard of, but am not familiar with this challenge...I have been vegetarian for 18 years (though not the healthiest vegetarian) and would love to try going Vegan for a time. I will google it and see what it's all about. Like you, I would welcome anyone who has done this sort of…

I love my pink Polar F6. Check it out on amazon :)

Hi Sarah! I am new too :) But, I have used MFP and lost about 10 pounds, then I stopped logging my food and here I am again! (Only now I am up by about 5 pounds...my heaviest :( Anyway, you should definitely eat breakfast (as I am sure everyone else here will tell you). Special K is a great choice, and I truly find eating…

My weight on my licence says that I weigh 23 pounds less than I do right now!!! :)

Alright. Thanks everybody. I am still frusterated (I have been doing so good!!) But I am going to move on and drink a ton of water doing it!!! Thanks again

I am trying to get in a shape for a big trip I have coming up in a week and a half...(plus I want to continue my weight loss, but just trying to maximize the next week or so as best as possible)

For the last week and half I have been exercising 50 min everyday and eating 1200-1500 cals. Yesterday i had 2700 calories!!! I had wine with dinner and it was all down hill from there :( No more alcohol for me. I do NOT make good decisions!!! I am just wondering how much this will set me back this week?? any ideas?…

Napa, CA the Vino Country!

I tend to crave peanut butter and I love Quaker Granola Bars the Chocolate and Peanut Butter Ones. Some are 100 cals and some are 90 per bar (depending on if you get the full sugar bars or the 25% less...both are good!)

I think it just depends on you personally. If you feel like you are able to "keep up" at 2lbs a week, go for it! However, if it's a struggle and you think you would fare better in the long run(cause thats what this is all about right?) by going at it "slow and steady" then change it. Do what works for you. Good luck!

I kind of feel the same. I have been working going into my 4th week and trying to eat well for maybe the last two weeks and I have lost two pounds. Now, I am happy I haven't gained but I guess I am just a sucker for instant gratification. I hope you get out of your funk soon, but till you do, I feel ya. I try to think "if…

Haha! I have so many of those!!! I know exactly what you mean!! Congratulations. That must feel great!!!

Do you find that it is not accurate with calorie burn? if so, is it over? under? by how much? I want to make sure to get one that is accurate! thx!

oohhhhh I'm with you! I'm with you!

Perfect, that is actually the one I was looking at on Amazon. Thank!

Yes, that does make sense. Thank you for your input! :) and Congrats!

Wow! You have done great! Congrats!

Bump...

Thank you both for your help :). How do I change my diary to "low fat/low cal?"
