Take a look in the exercise data base. I think you will find that you earn calories back for things you didn't even realize. My goal is 1200 a day also, but given that I work out 5-6 days a week, I rarely eat below 1500. Don't go crazy eating all of your exercise calories back (that's my motto), but make sure you are…

a low sugar protein shake before bed was what my nutritionist recommended when i was having this problem. but try your best to front load your calories for the day so you aren't left stuffing them all in before bed. and 1200 is a MINIMUM. remember you won't lose if you don't eat enough, just like eating too much. you need…

Lost my first 50 lbs on taco bell, but i do NOT recommend it. sure, the weight came off, but i didn't start to feel better until i started eating clean. It's doable, but not the best idea for your overall health.

Count me in!

I agree and disagree. Portion control is key. HOWEVER, while you can eat taco bell every day and lose weight (I should know, I lost my first 20 lbs that way), it doesn't make it good for your body. I don't subscribe to the notion that deprivation is ever a good choice. Who wants to live without enjoying their favorite…

I call it my "fat girl mentality"... im down a total of 80 lbs and still find myself fighting the mirror. I walk into stores and pick up XL clothes automatically. Haven't quite figured out how to shake it yet, but I can say that acknowledging my victories out loud (e.g. "wow! these skinny jeans used to be tight, now i have…

Have you tried push ups on the dumbbells? I only do pushups this way now and it seems to take a lot of the pressure off of the wrists.

I am 6'1 and had to lose at least 20 lbs before I started noticing a difference in the way I looked (I've lost 74 lbs now and believe me you can see a difference!) Just remember that there are other factors to focus on: how your clothes feel, measurements, how you feel physically, etc. Sometimes even 5 lbs can make a…

You WILL feel hungry... AT FIRST. Your body needs to adjust to eating less. Eat smaller portions more often, good protein/good carb, and plenty of fiber and water. Having lost a total of 73 lbs on my weight loss journey, i remember feeling like i was starving at first. Now, the idea of 2 tacos AND a potato in one meal???…

I've been eating my daily alottment given by MFP, but NOT my exercise calories (i didnt trust that they were correct)... barely losing weight, i went to my personal trainer VERY upset, and when he checked my food log, he told me that for the amount i am exercising, i should be eating between 1800 and 2000 calories! I upped…

I gained 3 lbs this week, all muscle, and i have decided i couldn't be happier. My fiance has mentioned how much smaller and trimmer i am looking, even though the scale isn't moving down. Stick with how you feel, be healthy, and don't worry quite as much about the scale. Yes, have a goal, but don't become so attached to…
