Low Sodium VEGGIE Burgers?
Where to find them? I love love love my morning star black bean chipotle veggie burgers but they have 700 mg of sodium and that's just too much for me. I try oh so hard to keep sodium between 1500 and 2000. Suggestions on where to buy pre-made veggie burgers or please post if you have a recipe I can try at home to make my…

Saw Me In a Picture today...
And I was so totally disgusted with myself. I thought, "Ah! What the hell have I let happen to me and how did it get this far gone?" Seriously, this time last year I was 142 pounds and I am now 192. How the hell does being sick like I have been take a toll so quickly on how I look? I can't stand it and no matter what I do,…

Month 6 and I've only Gained - What's up?
I've been on MFP for 6 months now. I found the EM2WL group relatively early on and followed the advice of eating at 30% below TDEE and to date, as of this morning I have GAINED 11 pounds. I work out 3 to 4 times a week lifting and do a moderate amount of walking and am just trying to figure out what is going on here. I eat…

Anyone Have or Use a POLAR PACER HRM?
I am getting this on Tuesday for cheap cheap cheap because it's 2nd hand. I know it's not the best but for me, it's a good starting point price wise. So has anyone used this one or have it now? What has been your experience with it? Did you have any issues? It *looks* like it has the chest strap with it and from what I…

Scared outta my mind
I don't know why but I'm scared to go to the local Zumba class. I've never done a group exercise and I can't get through 30DS without collasping in an asthmatic heap on the floor at home so I'm kinda not wanting to put myself out there in public to do it with on-lookers. I know ppl would be sympathetic but that's not what…

It's my baby's birthday and I want to eat ALL THE FOODS!
No kidding. I ate like complete **** this past week. To the point that I didn't even log most of my late night snacking. Well, about half of it I did but I can't fool myself. I was THERE dammit! Stress, some more stress, headaches, NO desire to stay on track right now and I don't know why. I cannot figure it out and man do…

HELP me structure my diet and exercise routine!
Title says it all. I've done the 1200 calorie a day thing and not eaten back my exercise calories. I've done 1200 a day AND eaten back exercise calories. I've eaten at my BRM blah blah blah. I've not lost a dang pound, in fact, I've gained. Not much but even 1 pound is unacceptable when I'm trying to loose weight. Take a…

Carb Counts? All of them?
I was told by a friend that carbs that come from fruit and veggies are not counted in NET CARBS. Now, before I go all crazy with the fruit today, I want to hear from those of you who eat low carb, say...100 net carbs or lower. What carbs do you count and what type of carbs do you NOT count? Do you ONLY total your daily…

A Wonderful Intolerance leads the WAY
I've been on this weight loss journey for a couple months. I've lost and gained back the same darn 9 pounds several times, learned a lot of new and helpful information about food nutrition and portion sizes, gained friends for support who have been wonderful and often inspiritational to me and my journey. Well today I woke…

Does anyone know of a website that has the best standards of dietary guidlines? I would like to know how many calories, grams of carbs, fat, fiber, sodium, sugars etc is the "standard" and what should be the standard for 1200 cals, 1400 cal and so forth. I did a google search but just got a bunch of ads and I'm not feeling…

how much fat is to LITTLE?
I watch my calories, fat, sodium and fat very carefully. I eat 1200 to 1700 grams of sodium per day or less and my fat intake is low, as in 18 grams on a low day to 35/40 grams on a high day. I freak out if I eat a high amount of fat but a friend told me that I'm not eating ENOUGH fat most days. Is eating less than 20…

All the RIGHT choices and NO LOSS...just GAIN
Okay, my first thread to have my own tantrum about "my weightloss journey". I began 7 weeks ago and made some rather significant eating and exercise habit changes. Went from eating whatever, whenever and mostly sedentary to eating my 1200 calories a day, walking a lot, using my recumbant bike, making my stairs in the house…

What is my Fat Burning Zone?
I've tried reading up on this and just can't seem to figure it out. I need some helpful, easy to understand/read links or advice on how to figure out where my heart rate needs to be or a range at least, so I can exercise productively. I've been working on my journey for a month now, and have gained, not lost. :-( I will…

Sodium...How much is "the right amount" per day?
I'm stumped on this one. I retain water just by looking at a salt shaker and omitt it from everything, even when baking. I just passed my first goal of 10 lbs and now I want to start watching the sodium more than I have been. So, how much should a "normal" person be consuming in sodium per day? How much is too much?

NO fiber in a bean-n-cheese burrito?!
This irked me...a little hard to believe but I can't find any info online to contradict it so... We gardened today for 6 hours and I didn't feel like cooking the fam dinner so we ate Muchas Gracias take out instead. I recorded my Oregon Buritto (holy cow! 22 grams of fat!) and just for grins and giggles, looked up my…
