Hello
Hi, Id like to introduce myself. I am Amber, 33 yrs old and have 165 pounds to lose. I have a wonderful hubbie and three amazing kiddos. Looking for support from others in the same boat as me.
PEANUT BUTTER ALTERNATIVE?
I fell off the wagon for a few weeks and have gotten back to business in the last few days. I am still fighting wanting bad for me food again. I am having the worst time with a serious craving for peanut butter. I just can not justify 200 calories for a serving that is only 2 tablespoons. That is 1/6 of my daily calories!…
just want to share
I found an awesome site that has incredible vegan recipes! I am not vegan, but noticed a lot of vegan food has low calories and I make stuff from the site all the time. My sweet tooth thanks me. www.chocolatecoveredkatie.com I promise you will love it!
BIG NSV TODAY!
So I took my measurements today. I havent taken them since October 25th. Since then I have lost 6 inches off my hips and the fullest part of my bust, 2 off my waist, 1.5 off my neck. I have lost 4 off my ribcage (you know where they measure the bra band). I called the bra shop because none of my bras fit anymore and they…
I'm wondering
Often times when making dishes, I make a sauce it cooks in. I figure the calories using the tool on here, but what I am wondering is how do I figure the calories I actually consume since I dont eat all the sauce or marinade. Anyone have any idea?
so far to go
When I weigh in I see the pounds lost and I am so proud of myself. And then I look at the number I have yet to lose to get to a normal or even overweight range weight and get discouraged. ugh! I know this is the best way to go, the healthiest option. Good diet and exercise. But dang why does it take so long. Im an instant…
Im just going to break down
Ive been at this almost 6 weeks. I have been exercising like mad, and I never ever go over my calories (though sodium is my kryptonite!). I drink as much water as I can stomach. And it has literally been 2 weeks since I have lost even an ounce. Im getting to the point Im ready to cry. I cant let this get the bast of me,…
quick question
I have 2 work out videos I did today and I am trying to figure out how to log them. One is a kettlebell workout and the other was biggest loser cardio, but I didnt see either in the database. Am I missing something?
where exactly to measure
I know this sounds like an idiotic question, but I just got a myofit tape measure and I am trying to do the weigh and measure in thing here. Now the neck is prett simple, as is the waist. My question though is where exactly do I measure for my hips?
Ladies TOM question
I thought my body was going in to freak out mode after dieting and exercising for a month, turns out that nope, it was TOM sneaking up on me. I got on the scale today for my official weigh in day and I didnt lose since my dr's appt Thursday. What in the heck can i do to squash these cravings? How can I make myself not over…
feeling frustrated
I usually do 60-120 minutes of cardio a day. Yesterday my legs starting hurting really badly for the first time in a month! My knees kept buckling when I was on the elliptical and my quads feel like they are just about to rip away from my body. I got on the elliptical today and had to quit 15 minutes in. I still did 90…
HEEEEEELP!
I want to make some authentic curry and everything calls fro coconut milk. And i just googled it, and it has tons of calories! DOES ANYONE HAVE A SUGGESTION FOR AN ALTERNATIVE? I really want curry tonight
quick question
I know that when a person is uber heavy like me, weight seemingly falls off at first. So when does that stop happening? How long does it take for a person's body adjust to the lifestyle change and quit dropping weight that fast? My doctor told me he doesnt see it being unlikely at all that by May I could lose 70 more…
question...
I went to the nutritionist today. I have lost 7.6 pounds since my last visit to the doctor. I printed my food and exercise diary and took it in to her so she could see what I have been doing. She told me today that i need to exercise at least 90 minutes a day 6 days a week and consume NO MORE THAN 1200 CALORIES! And she…
certain this has been asked before
So does anyone eat their exercise calories? Or do you just let them be? Im lost as to what I should do. MFP recommends 1700 calories for me in a day. I usually only eat about 1200 (or less really) and usually have at least 500 exercise calories everyday. So my question is, Am I supposed to eat my exercise calories or not?
just joined a couple of days ago
Hi. I am 31 years old. I am very heavy. I requested weight reduction surgery from my Doctor and was informed my BMI is too high for the lapband procedure. This was the kick in the seat i needed to get moving. I have decided to make changes in my diet, and to exercise. I have not actually exercised in ten years or more. I…
