Am I paying for my red days?
I was so successful in August/September and was sticking to 1200 calories. When I fell I was ok for a bit but now want to get back to it. I upped my intake to 1400 because I just don't need to lose 2lbs a week or be so strict. I am comfortable with where I am at but there is still room for improvement. Anyway I weighed…

March 2010 I was 170lbs. When I joined here I was around 168/164 and set my calorie intake to 1200 and was execising quite a bit ( walking nightly + Wii). I did really well in August and September where I lost the bulk of my weight. I always ate most of my exercise caloried and found because I was working out I could eat…

Good and quick DVD
Looking for some type of exercise video that is about 20 mins or shorter that really does it all. I have been totally slacking and want to get back on track.

Can it be real weight loss?
I have been having a rough few weeks where the scale hasn't even moved an ounce. I weigh myself daily and have never seen a 2.2lb drop in 1 day. I recorded yesterday for the October challenge and then recorded today because I like the Sunday weigh ins. When I recorded my weight yesterday I was iffy because after no major…

Slow week...keep me motivated
I have only lost .4lbs this past week and have been maintaining 1-2lbs since August. I am a little disappointed but know it is a phase. I had a planned cheat last week but it never even happened so I was that much ahead on that day. I have kept to my 1200 calories and eat most of my exercise calories. I am just curious…

Panzerotti
I am having a hard time figuring out how many calories are in it. It has pepperoni, bacon, mushrooms, cheese and olives. I usually skip it but I would like to have some tonight, I really want to get as accurate as I can for calories so I don't go overboard.
-
Is it still considered cheating?
I have a planned splurge that may or may not happen tonight. I put in the food that I think I will be eating just to see how many calories it might be close to and got -496 +. If it happens I want to be prepared so I just did 2 rounds of slim in 6 and a custom workout on the wii. I am now only -52 which is nothing! I can…

question about weight watchers
I have no clue about any of it but I am curious is it the same as calorie counting? I got the impression that you get meals worth points and you are allowed so many points. To me it sounds like calorie counting simplified and without the extra cost. Is that correct?

Quick Wii Fit help
I never use my wii fit because I don't like how you have to stop to pick a new exercise but thought someone on here said you can set it up so you can just go through them without having to go back and choose new. How do I do this? I want to switch it up tonight and will go back to my EA tomorrow.

Low cardio day?
I heard someone mention it once and I am curious. I normally walk either pushing the stroller or on my own. I live in the country and if I walk alone I can burn 50+ calories just by walking to the neighbors house. Today I went with the kids and it took me 3x's longer to get the 50 calories in. I walked about 4 miles today…

Quick p with rice please :)
220g of uncooked rice is 711 calories that much I know but what about when it is cooked? How do I weigh it to find out what I am eating? It will be heavier so do I just weigh the whole pot and if it is 500g and divide by 4? Then it would be 125g's = 178 calories? (711 divided by 4) Does that work or is there a better way?

I eat 1200 calories a day…

Could this be a plateau?
I started August 1st strict and dedicated. I lost 10lbs in 31 days. I weigh myself daily ( I know, I know) and there is usually a loss even if it is an ounce here and there. On August 29th it seemed to have stopped and so far nothing. It went up a few ounces then down 1 but it isn't just hovering in the same spot. I know…

My grandmother is going to show me how to make tomato soup with cream of wheat dumplings. I have no idea how many actual tomatoes we will use or I should be weighing the actual tomato or calculating the juice. Can anyone help me weigh this recipe?
