Hey still not losing (loosing)! Unlock ur diary if u want help.

I started ae 270 5'6" my calories was 1390. Then I changed it to a sedentary and dropped to 1310 (for 2lbs per week). I am now at 1200. Of course I have to eat back calories after exercising to keep it above 1200. Looked at your diary. Your calories and carbs seem a little high. Try recalculating it.

I know what you mean. The weightloss is a huge accomplishment! Congrats!! But, the goal is still a ways. This only proves to yourself, that you know how to do it. I'm right behind you.

Sorry to tell you,but that's crap! I am a diabetic, blood sugars under control. In fact, I'm off my meds. Losing 2lbs a week. Drink 2 diet sodas a day. I don't drink, don't smoke, don't do drugs, don't eat chocolate or fried foods, and I am totally celibate. So, don't think your taking the only thing that saves me from a…

Started out blonde, recently dyed my hair chestnut brown

Wow, you made me cry. My goal is 120. I started my battle 3/27/12 after being diagnosed with diabetes, ha1c 8.5. Its funny, we have the support of others, but it is a journey that is traveled alone. The more I struggle, fight and conquer my demons, it makes me just a little bit stronger. Its just you and the fridge at 3am.…

I take fiber capsules. You can also add sugarfree metamucil or other fiber powder to any drink.I add it to my Crystal light. And no its not a laxative. Anyway, I can increase fiber w/o adding calories or carbs. You can even track it Psyllium (fiber) caps are in MFP data base.

I love them both, but I just can't afford the high carbs and calories in my calorie budget. Same way I that I won't eat brown rice. Been trying to substitute w/quinoa, but just haven't developed a taste for it.

You probably already know this, but you can add the 100% egg whites by egg beaters to your smoothies to increase protein. Its already been pasteurized so its afe to consume raw. Can't taste it at all. Low cal, no added carbs or cholesterol. And of course beans is a great high protein food;but have to really watch ur…

What I meant, is that my new job requires me to wear real clothes. My baggy old scrubs witch hide a multiple of sins can nolonger be worn. That meant I had to go try on clothes and look in the mirror at myself. My ego just got deflated. Since 3/27/12 I have been working really hard losing weight. Today just slapped me on…

You know the gov does all these studies on the reasons americans are fat? Cause for a 1.50 for hamburger helper and 3.00 for a lb of hamburger we can feed a family of 4. Fresh vegis and fruit is expensive for a family. I should know. It was always a luxury to splurge and buy some apples when you can barely pay the…

1/4 cup egg white 1 slice smoked turkey 1/2 slice 2% pepperjack Few jalapenos 2 slices of 35 calorie ww toast Add the egg whites and jalapenos to a microwave egg cooker, cook on high 1.25 min; place on toast; heat turkey for 6 seconds; add cheese; and out the door you go! 175-180 calories, super fast. The microwave egg…

Coke zero and rum is one of my rewards when I cross another milestone. Only 65 calories. Ok, I am ready for the stoning.

This is my theory: Have lost 40lbs as of today. I bought the same brand of jeans except for a size smaller and just now able to aqueeze into them. For me I have a lot of belly and midsection fat. Spot reducing is a myth so don't waste your time. Keep up the cardio and counting the calories and it will move off. It was…

Ok, I'll answer your question. A lot of low calorie food is high in carbohydrates. For example sugarfree frozen yogurt has approx 100 calories for 5oz but has around 25 carbs. Increase in carbs increases your bodies production of insulin if your pancreas is working properly. Over time if forced to over produce insulin it…

Apples Turkey Tilapia Egg whites Green beans Cucumbers Fat free sour cream w/ranch dressing mix

Ricky you are my hero. Only way I would know it was you, was your nose. WTG!! Your my hero. My goal is 120 lb loss. So I'm with you. How are you doing with loose skin? I am losing approximately 2lbs a week, everythings fine so for. Thinking the next 40-50 lbs could have issues. Anyway, continue being everyones champion and…

My rings, shoes and underwear all too big. My pants too long. What's up with that? My bed doesn't creak when I sit on the edge; I lost my smile. Literally, it got lost in the fat. Its coming back. Biggest problem I am always running out of fresh vegies.

I ts real simple when I explain it this way. If your baseline awas 1200 per day, and you burn off 100 calories walking. This will put you under 1200 which will put u in starvation mode. Now that I have increased my calories to 1310 I just make sure that I eat back enough to keep it above 1200.

I was at Whole Foods today. Saw a flax seed meal. Is that the same as ground flax seed. I know this is a dumb question. Just wanted to make sure.

What kind/brand of protein powder do you use?

The ultimate slap on the head; I was diagnosed with Diabetes. I took control and stopped the nonsense that very day.

When my blood sugar was dropping I was cranky and starving even though I had just eaten. I was cutting out too many carbohydrates. Starting eating at least 15g og carbs w/each meal, and both issues went away. Keep up w/ ur diary so u can monitor ur intake.

Sometimes it easier to blame others for our failures than ourselves. I should know. I'm the one who puts the food in my mouth. I'm the one who made myself a diabetic. I'm the only one to fix me. No éxcuses. You allow her to manipulate you.

Wait a minute. I am a diabetic and I don't count sugar grams. I count carbs. That is what the exhanges r based on. 15 carbs equals 1 exchange. Sugar is a sub catagory of carbs. Anyway, I totally ignore the sugar content. Its completely irrelevant. My blood glucose is under control by controling my carb, protein and fiber…
