This is why I don't do too many cheat meals...
It was an unplanned cheat b/c I was starving...Chicago style pizza, garlic roll, fried appetizers. I FEEL LIKE CRAP NOW PHYSICALLY. I told DH I think I'd feel better if I just purged this. Instead, I'm going to drink more water & possibly even get in another workout tonight. Anyone else feel physically gross when they eat…

Light? Diet? Lowfat? Low-cal?
Are any of these labeled foods okay for you, or are they mostly processed chemical crap? Should I stop using my light ranch dressing, 98% fat free cream of mushroom soup, Edy's Grand Light Slow Churned ice cream, etc.? Just trying to figure this out so I can eat "cleaner"? Thanks!

1200 measily calories?!?
I don't mean to call anyone out or anything, but how can you have trouble eating enough to get to 1200 calories? I don't have any problems getting to my 1500 allotted calories (although it's really 1800 because of breastfeeding). I just don't get it. Am I alone here?

Fiber One products
What are your thoughts on these various products? I know a lot of people on here don't eat processed foods, so I was just curious about these supposedly healthier processed foods.

Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) Supplements
Anyone take these? Do they help with your weight loss? Some people on another weight loss board I visit claim they do. Also, if you think they help, any idea if someone who's breastfeeding can take them? I hear they're just Omega-6, and I know I can have Omega-3.

sleep and weightloss???
How does not enough sleep affect weightloss? Could just a few days of not enough sleep make you gain a little?

nursing moms?
How many cals are you eating, and what's the age of your nursling? Do you add breastfeeding into your exercise log? If so, how many do you put? My son is 2.5 months and EBF. I put bf in as 300 cals for exercise, but I'm not sure if that's right. I eat most of my exercise cals, so the number varies but is never below 1800.…

No wonder my mom died of a heart attack!
I'm going to Olive Garden for lunch today, and luckily I found a few lighter things I can eat...something my mom NEVER did. I calculated all the crap should would have eaten for ONE meal, and it ended up being 3500 calories and 220 grams of fat. She would have eaten that and sometimes would have even gone out for another…

Say no to Splenda?
What's wrong with it? Maybe I should buy Stevia instead?

clean eating question
I browsed the thread on clean eating, and it's intriguing. What do you do when you have family events where you may not be sure what others are serving (the ingredients)? Any book recs for me to read up on this CE? ETA: Does your whole immediate family eat clean too? I am afraid I'd have a hard time selling it to my kids…

30 Day Shredders--level 3 or done
Did you do other exercises while doing the program? How often did you do it? Results? I'm on level 2. I'm doing it five-six days/week with other added cardio. I was wondering if I should add in more strength too or if that's enough.

sodium intake
If you know your sodium intake is going to be too high one day, is there anyway to counteract its effects on the scale?

What do you do when you have a lot of exercise calories left
I know you're supposed to eat your exercise calories. Today, after I plotted my three meals and 2 snacks, I'll have 400 "remaining" calories since I'll have a big workout today. What would you do with them? I feel like I should be healthy, but the first thing that pops into my head is a big ice cream treat. Plus, if I do…

Inches lost question
When you're trying to figure out your inches lost, do you add up the inches for each body part of which there are two (i.e. arms, legs), or do you only count those as one measurement lost? For instance, if I lost 2 inches off one thigh, do I also measure how many inches I lost off the other one and add those both into my…

What are net calories?
I've basically just started this calorie counting stuff. What are net calories? Should I eat my exercise calories back? If it matters, I am breastfeeding a 2 month old. I am aiming for 1800 calories per day, and I burn anywhere from 200-700 calories in exercise alone depending on the day. That doesn't include the…
