Fiber, gas, weight gain...Kashi to blame??
For the last 7 days according to the numbers I have had a 4433 calorie deficit. Yet, I am 1.5 pounds higher. I have been eating Kashi everyday and have been, um, bloated and stinky, could that cause scale change?

Great discovery and eating ice cream
I have been recording everything I eat- even on days I cheat all day. I used to never record the "bad" things I ate and after a few days I would say "screw it" and forget about eating healthy at all bc I'd figure what's the point. Anyway, I now know that one or two "bad" days is really nothing in the big picture. I ate…

Look what my body can do!!
I get so caught up in the fact that I want to lose 20 pounds and fit back into my clothes that I ignore everything else. This past month I have ran a 5k and a mud run- two things I have never done before. I also work with special needs kids all day- for some of them I am literally their arms and legs. My body gave birth to…

WTF??? How could I have gained 2.5 pounds??
I am consistently eating between 1400-1600 calories. When you look at my diary I do drink at least 90 oz of water and eat veggies, I just don't usually log them unless they have calories. I wear a fitbit and I have at least a 300-600 calorie deficit a day. I had ONE cheat day this week, but there is no way number-wise that…

Fitbit users eating all their calories
MFP gives me 1420 calories to lose weight. I aim for about 1500-1600. I am on my feet at work and fitbit gives me usually at least a 500-600 calorie exercise allowance. I am already NOT losing weight...If I ate what MFP and fitbit want I'd be eating at least 1900 calories a day! I am 5'3" and 147ish pounds and want to be…

UGH!! No loss!
Three weeks of logging and also having a fitbit. I have a deficit of 300-600 calories daily and I am moving, moving, moving. Walks, jogs, weights. Do I just need to be patient? So hard to do when my husband drops pounds just by breathing. btw- I am 36, 5'3 and 149.5 pounds

I LOVE chia seeds!
I have been eating 1 tbls a day. Sometimes I put it in tea and other times I put it in yogurt. I usually don't like slimy things- but I love drinking them (my husband loves to joke on this one!). I also think they are helping with weight loss- no proof, may just be placebo effect- but I feel healthier eating them. Anyone…

I wish I liked chicken
My main forms of protein seem to be greek yogurt, eggs, cheese, bean, peanut butter. The only meat I really like is hamburger; not crazy about steak or chicken and I won't eat seafood. Anyone else who doesn't eat much animal protein find it harder to lose weight bc the protein sources you do eat (ie beans etc) are carb…

Why can't I do this?
I am so pissed at myself. Over the past year I have gained about 10 pounds. I work out daily, but only watch what I eat half the time. I am well educated in what I need to do to lose weight, I just want to know why I can't seem to do that! I end up getting mad at myself and say ***k it, and eat everything in sight. I also…

How can I wake up???
I work 8-3 and try to fit in exercise when I get home between 3:30 and dinner. I also have 2 kids. I know my life would be way more easy if I woke up an hour earlier and worked out in the morning, but every time I set my alarm I turn it off and re-set it for later. My question is for all you early risers...how do you do…

Blue Diamond unsweeted almond milk
Just bought this and tried it for the first time today. It only has 40 calories per serving, but if you can drink skim milk I don't understand why one would drink this instead. Are there more health benefits? It has a lot less protein and more fat.

Why do I sabotage myself like this???
I have about 10 pounds to lose- same 10 I have wanted to lose for years. My workouts are great- I have no problem with them. Eating on the other hand... I will do ok for a while, but for the last few weeks it's like I am seeing just how much crap I can eat. Why am I doing this? It is so frustrating bc I will start to see…

Yay!
I am 5 foot 3 and my "happy" weight is 125. Since July I have gained 10 pounds and got to 139 through diligent beer drinking and crappy diet. I have cleaned up my act and in the past 4 weeks have lost 3 pounds, 3 inches, and 1% body fat. It may not sound like much, but for me it is. My body doesn't seem to want to shed…

Horrible acne break outs
For the past 2 weeks I have cleaned up my diet and cut out simple sugars, bad fats, and alcohol. In that time my normally clear skin has broken out with small zits all over including my neck. My trainer said it is my body detoxing through my skin. Anyone heard of this? I feel so ugly!!!
