Containers feeling overwhelming..
I find the containers extremely overwhelming. I have a lot of weight to lose and am supposed to have 6 red and green containers, 4 purples and yellow containers, 1 blue and orange container, and 6 tsp. It's hard to fathom planning for all those containers!! Anyone else have this problem or have suggestions on how to make…

Please Read! Need Help with Macros..
Hi! I started the Ideal Protein diet a few months ago. I've since "fallen off the wagon" sort of speak due to the expense and feeling like the food really wasn't all that healthy for me (I don't like to eat packaged/boxed foods/sucralose/etc). I lost about 25lbs on this diet in about 2 months. Now, after the holidays have…

NSV.. HUGE for me.
Today I had a huge NSV. My dad hasn't been physically in my life for 19 years, but in the last 8 or so of those years we've had sporadic contact via email and once in awhile phone, and more recently it's been fairly often through email and chatting via messengers. I was talking to him about a comment that someone had made…

Sooo Overwhelmed!
Not sure even where to begin. I recently started a new job and am working close to 50 hrs a week, its finals week and I can't pay my bills no matter how much I work! I try to always look at life with a grain of salt and I am a very positive person in general. I understand that many people have it worse than I do but it's…

Vegetarian.. low energy
I am a vegetarian of about 2 years. I have found that recently (in the last 6 mos or so) I just feel very low on energy! I do work a lot and am a full time student so that will inevitably take it's toll but I feel like I need to change something about my diet. I have heard that many vegetarians are quite unbalanced so I…

Feeling "stuck" - Vegetarian
Lately, I've been feeling so stuck with what to eat! I used to eat a lot of talapia and shrimp, but I'm cutting that out of my diet. Now I just feel like there's nothing for me to eat, which is absolutely ridiculous. I've been a pescatarian (vegetarian who eats fish) for 1.5years now and am only just now feeling stuck,…

Trying to find out some info on the HCG diet..
Hello friends! A girlfriend of mine who has PCOS (I do, too) was telling me about her struggles with weight loss. Now, I've always been very particular about making sure not to use PCOS as an excuse as to why I'm not losing weight, but I know that chemically, it does make it a little more difficult. She was telling me…

Is there a difference??
I feel like I was a totally different person before I started losing.. I've never seen myself look that unhappy and miserable! SO I was wondering - is there a difference? I've lost 31lbs and some days I can see a difference and some days I look the same! The first three are me at 256lbs in April 2010. The next ones are me…

Know a good Heart Rate Monitor?
So, about a week ago I purchased a Sportline SX Combo with the chest strap for continuous heart rate monitoring. Yesterday, I spent 20 minutes at the gym trying to reset the calories burned so that I could start at 0 for my workout. My reset button had stopped working. So I took it back and exchanged it for another one of…

Sportline ECG monitor?
I bought a Sportline ECG (heart rate monitor) and calories burned tracker. The calories burned part is what troubles me.. it looks like the screen says "233kC"... the 233 being the calories already burned but what does the "kC" mean? Im assuming "calories" but I've never heard of it referred to as kC. Any one else have a…
