Face fat...
It seems even when I lose weight, my face stays fat. I used to get complimented on my cheekbones and now they are buried under the fat on my face. I also have a double chin that can't help but pop out when I smile a toothy smile, so in a lot of pictures I'm kind of smiling/smirking with my lips closed. I've thought about…

Do you think this is right?
So I love my Dunkin Donuts "iced coffee", I type it with quotation marks because really I'm not a HUGE fan of coffee, sometimes I need the caffeine, and I do like the taste of it the way *I* order it. So I order a M french vanilla with 4 creams and 7 sugars, sometimes 5 creams and 7 sugars. Today I got 4 creams, 7 sugars.…

WHY can't I do this!?
I am getting so mad at myself! For a few months I was doing great, lost 11 lbs and had no problem counting calories. Now, for the past few months, I've been trying to do it, but most days I just say "eff it!" and just eat whatever. Summer is now closer than it was before, why have I lost all of my motivation? I really need…

Ugh...Subway's Nutrition Menu
Is confusing me! We're ordering from there tonight because we basically have no food left in the house, so DH is bringing me a sub at work. Anyway, I am looking on there to find a "low calorie" sub but it's confusin me! I want a lowfat footlong turkey sub, with yellow mustard instead of mayo, no cheese, but cucumbers,…

Cell Phone Buffs...Help!
I am looking to buy a new phone within the next few months. I have metro PCS, and they have a new touchscreen phone for sale, but it's pricey, $349.00, I love it but I don't know if I want to spend that much. It's this one: http://www.metropcs.com/shop/PhoneDetails.aspx?ProductId=SCHR810ZKAM(Phones) I've looked on ebay for…

What kind of staple food should I buy in bulk?
We have a BJ's membership (kind of like a Sam's club or a Costco's) and I want to go there and buy some staple "healthier foods" in bulk so I won't run out and have any excuses. I need some ideas though. We used to go get water, juice boxes for my son, etc there, but we haven't gone in a long time.

Getting back on track.
I was slacking, I'll call it a hiatus though, lol! :embarassed: I didn't gain any weight, but haven't lost any either. I suppose it's good to know that I can basically maintain my weight eating whatever I want. I did add some things into my food diary here and there, but I wasn't giving it my all like I had been before.…

How would you figure out coffee?
I get DD iced coffee, and I get a medium FV iced coffee with 7 creams and 7 sugars. (I know, crazy). I KNOW it's going to be like a million calories, but I didn't care today, I needed one after the morning I had (someone stole all of my jeans at the laundry mat) :noway: So yeah, I want to enter it in right, so far I put in…

Been doing bd this week...
I have been falling off the wagon, so to speak. It's so much easier for me to eat out and count calories than to make my own meals and try to calculate. Especially if DH cooks dinner, he doesn't measure how much oil he uses to cook the chicken in, etc. So I have gained a pound or two back. I need to get back in the saddle,…

No WAY!
I weighed myself today, and I am 164.5!!! I thought the # was wrong, it HAD to be, so I weighed myself again, and again, and again. All 164.5 I know some could just be daily fluctuation, but I haven't been under 170 since before I got pregnant with baby #1. Even then Imy lowest was 169! I don't feel like I LOOK like I've…
-
Yay! Finally past the week long plateau!
Just weighed myself and it came up 171.5!!! I plateaued at 174 this whole past week, AND I had some slip ups with going over my calories. Anyway, I never got past 186 after my older son, then I got pregnant with baby #2, I got down to 172 while breastfeeding, but then I started chain drinking Lipton iced teas and gained…

100 Calorie Packs!
I love them! I used to think it was so lame to buy them, I had NO clue how many calories were in what at that point, lol. The Hostess chocolate cakes ones are SO good and they really satisfy my chocolate craving with the 3 little cakes. I also have the keebler cookies ones, yum!

I put my exercise in before working out and then...
the instructor accidentally goes 15 minutes longer than planned with class! :bigsmile: So I worked out for an hour doing spin class (which is very vigorous and burns a lot of cals) So I feel like I have to have a million calories now, lol. I had some BK for supper (side salad, 6 piece cheesy tots, and a whopper Jr) AND I…

Need some encouragement!
I've been cal counting for almost 2 weeks now, and so far I've done ok with motivation. I just DO it, no second guessing, no thinking and dwelling. I just get out my measuring cups and do it. Well I am having a hard day today thinking about counting cal's for ever. No leisure of grabbing a handful of chips at a party…

Going to a buffet Tueday, help!
No measuring portions (unless I want to take my measuring cup with me, but I think DH would get annoyed, lol) We're having a date night and have a gift certificate to this place, it used to be our favorite when we lived closer to it. It;s Chinese food, so it's probably going to kill my calorie count. Do I just throw…

Having trouble figuring out calories for meals.
I am making a version of that slow cooker salsa chicken today. I entered in the ingredients I used (some differed, like I couldn't find low sodium taco seasoning, and I used 1/2 cup more salsa than the original recipe called for, and I didn't have cream of mushroom soup, so I used cream of chicken). Anyway I added up all…

I went over again :-(
So again, I went over my calories. :frown: This is the 2nd time this week. I was doing so well before. I made shepherd's pie with ground turkey for supper and it brought me over like 800 and something calories. I know we're not supposed to dwell on the #'s, but I feel guilty. I was starving and only had 300 and something…
-
Do you ever cheat or knowingly go over calories?
So out of the blue, my brother in law suggested we order out tonight. Had today been one of my exercise days, I'd have plenty of calories to eat left over, but I am down to 554 calories, so no steak and potatoes for me. :cry: While we do order out occasionally, we don't order from steak house type restaurants regularly,…

It's sad (but in a good way)...
that I can't eat the other half of my D'angelos turkey sub without going over my calories, BUT I just made 2 little strawberry shortcakes and still have 302 calories left over. So yeah, I'm kind of glad I only ate 1/2 my sub and didn't go over my calories. Strawberry shortcake is yummy! I would have thought those little…

OMG, Mac & Cheese is EVIL!
So I really wanted some today, I figured I have been snacking to eat my exercise calories lately, so might as well just use them at lunch right? Well now I have only 395 calories left for the day, over a cup and a half of mac n cheese! I just sat here for 30 minutes figuring this out, because I was sure it had to be wrong,…
-
Do you eat differently or just recuce portions?
I basically eat the same things I've always eaten, I just reduce portions and measure instead of slopping it onto my plate without measuring. I can't afford to buy all healthy stuff, I shop sales. Oh and no-one in my family is a veggie lover, so it's hard to make family meals that everyone will eat, even DH will throw a…

How do you measure chicken, or sliced turkey?
I was making lunch (turkey franks) and noticed we had 4 slices of thin & trim turkey left, so I ate them, lol. I have tons of calories left for the day because I am doing a spinning class later, so I wasn't concerned. But how do you measure out slices? I added t to my food diary as 2 servings, each serving is 2 oz. Think…

I found out today that...
One of my favorite shakes (not my top fave, but it's still good) at work (I work at a gym) only has 137.5 calories in it and it's pretty decently sized. I was so excited! AND it's chocolatey, so I'm psyched! I've never looked through the shakes at work, and looked at the calories, my fave that I used to get all the time…
-
So it's 10:48 pm and I still have 187 calories left!
Is it ok to not use them? I am not hungry, and I even managed to treat myself with 2 toaster strudels and still have these calories left over! lol. I feel like it's too late now to use them, 187 won't hurt right? I know eating too little of calories isn't good either, so I want to make sure.

How do you tone & strengthen?
I just got into spinning a few weeks ago, but that is basically just fun cardio. I don't know how to lift weights correctly or use the weights/resistance machines at the gym and I don't have the $ to pay a personal trainer to show me. I was thinking of trying yoga for toning, but what else can I do?
-
I stayed under my daily limit today!
I still have 45 calories remaining and it's 11:14 pm, so no more eating for me now. I signed up 2 days ago and the first 2 days I was over my calories, day one, by 520, and day two, by 114. So to be under by 45 (not too much) is exciting for me! I think it's because I had an apple and a banana for breakfast this morning,…

Hello, I'm new.
I just joined this site. I started doing spinning classes last week and it kind of threw me forward in my weight loss attempts. I've never liked a class as much as spinning, I love pushing myself in that class, and now I look forward to going to the gym. I've never steadily gone to the gym before, even though I work at one…
