Is this math correct?
I've been serious about counting calories and weighing/measuring my food for three weeks (this time anyway). I've lost 6.8 lbs in 21 days I've eaten 1,200 calls every day In 21 days: 25,200 calls eaten 23,800 deficit (3,500 x 6.8) 49,000 divided by 21 is 2,300 2,300 is my TDEE Is that right or am I doing this wrong?

Being a "foodie" and losing weight
I would describe myself as a foodie. I love cooking shows, collect cookbooks, and get very excited about planning our weekly menu. I cook our bread products from scratch. I cook most of what we eat from scratch even yogurt and sour cream. Have not tried cheese yet. I was told by a weight loss coach last summer that I'll…

last 10-15 lbs change to 1/2 loss per week, why?
I've seen this on this site a lot and I'm wondering why. I'm on my last 10-15 lbs and my weight loss has really slowed down the past few months. I'm wondering why I should up my calories and change my rate of loss to 1/2 lb. Won't this stop my loss completely? Just want to know the reasons behind the theory. It's appealing…

Protein powder reaction
My husband picked up some Isopure zero carb protein powder for me a few weeks ago. I finally had a chance to eat some yesterday. My protein was low for the day so I mixed one scoop in a half cup full fat Greek yogurt. I immediately got a very bad stomach ache after I ate it. A half hour later my heart was racing, I…

Question about cheese
For those of you who eat dairy (I do, it doesn't stall me) I was wondering if you limit yourself to 4 servings as Atkins does? Do you include cream cheese and sour cream in that total? I'm asking because yesterday I ate a ton of cheese as I was feeling sick and nothing else sounded good to my tummy. In general I try to…

Figure Competition for old ladies ;)
I am a 41 year old mom of four. I weigh 170 lbs. Obviously, I am in no place to enter a figure competition, nor do I ever plan on entering one (unless they have an old lady division :) . Anyway, I've always wanted to get that in shape and have been close a few times, but every time I got pregnant and lost all my fitness.…
