daily calorie level
Today I weighed in. I lowered my calorie intake according to MFP. I had previously set my calorie level at 1500 a day. MFP says around 1300 a day. Another website says I should be at around 1900 a day. All I know is the 1300 a day plan does not seem to give me weight loss. Any suggestions on what I should do?

Do you have an aversion to protein shakes?
I have been having protein shakes for breakfast for the last three weeks. Just a few days ago I found a website called dashingdish.com On it you will find a post about protein shakes, something about it being a milkshake, can't remember what the user called her post exactly. Anyhow she gives a base for the protein shake…

very discouraged
Seriously weight loss should not be this friggin difficult. I know I don't track on the weekends so that might be where I'm failing myself. I have only lost 5 pounds since the end of March. It really bothers me that I have such a difficult time. I also don't know what I am doing wrong so basically starting yesterday I am…

Metabolism
finally noticing an increase in my metabolism. I wake up really hungry and I am craving water. Did you notice a change in your weightloss after you noticed your metabolism picking up?

Yummy snack today
Made kids coconut oil popped pop corn. I did melt some real butter (will not put fake stuff on my popcorn) and tossed together. The two cups I had after my workout hit the spot. I will never buy bagged popcorn again :-) It's going in the snack rotation for sure.

The best feeling is...
the feeling that my elliptical machine is no longer a chore. I am no longer super exhausted and I can tell I am getting in shape. I am sweating a lot more and I love that I am doing something for my health. Losing inches and weight is just a bonus :wink:

Not hungry in morning
I am going through a phase where I have no desire to eat breakfast. Any tips?

Small NSV
well yesterday and today my clothes are starting to feel a little better. My tops seem to be a little lower in length and my workout shorts seemed baggy yesterday. Don't think this is from air drying. Oh and my shorts today don't feel super tight. I am hoping for good things when I get back from holiday. I won't have…

Holy Cow

Trader Joes Is my new fave place
Not only does it cost less but I love the foods and that the portions are labeled so well. It also pleases me that their foods aren't as bad as some of the other "junk" in the big chain stores. Love that place!!!

weighing food
weighing my food has become part of my daily routine. So much so that I swear I must be obsessed. :-) Not really but it has really helped me learn portion control. Sad I never thought about it before when I tried to lose weight.

Guess what we are having for dinner
Orange Tofu (like orange glazed chicken), Whole wheat cous cous, steamed broccoli or maybe roasted brussel sprouts. After I try recipe tonight I will share.

Yummy snack salad
Had a long 60 minute workout and I was hungry. Almost went for chips or some other quick carb. Instead I ate this. 1/2 cup canellini beans 1 persian cucumber 1/4 cup carrots 1 ounce FF feta 1 tbsp ranch dressing (the full fat version as I use it to count my oil intake) It was filling, crunchy, creamy and satisfying.

Not expecting loss this week
I have had a revelation. In the last three days I have not done well with getting my fruit and veggie servings in. I am bloated not a surprise since I am not exercising much this week and eating too many carbs. I need to plan my meals and grocery visits better. I'm hoping for a loss but won't be surprised if I don't see…

trying not to stress
I am on week three and getting into the doubtful phase of this working. I get to three weeks and I always struggle and I worry. Will this be the program that helps me to lose 20 more pounds? I haven't been able to workout since last week. I have been doing a lot of cleaning around the house. I am tracking my foods and…

I peaked
Got on scale this morning and I am down another pound. Don't weigh in officially until Sunday but it is enough for me to keep motivated tonight and tomorrow. Friday and Saturday are difficult days for me. I always seem to run amuck.

Yummy combo

Chobani yogurt
the 2% pineapple flavor is AWESOME!!! Wanted something sweet after dinner last night and so I tried it and my sweet tooth craving was curbed. Yummy!!

I am under most days
I don't know what to do. I am trying to keep what I learned in WW in mind and eat my dietary guidelines each day. However, now that we are approaching spring I am way more active during the day. I am a SAHM with two boys and we are now getting into a busy time of year. With swim lessons, play dates, nice weather, and…

Any burger at Red Robin can be made petite size. It is the size of the kids burger. It is not on menu so you have to ask. HTH

New found encouragement
For the first time ever my DH has to join me in weight loss. He had a physical this morning and was informed he MUST lose 10 lbs. I think he probably needs to lose 15 and then try to maintain within a 5 lb window. What sucks is that he only has 10 he must lose and I have at least 22 lb to lose. Right now I have a few…

Do you plan your calories?
I am thinking about planning my calories throughout the day to help meal plan a bit better. Do you do that? I am thinking based on a 1500 cal day. Breakfast 300 Lunch 500 Dinner 600 Snack 100 (not a big snacker)

Newbie
Hello all, I am on day 4 of this program. I have tried WW in the past and even go to experience their Points+ program. I do great for awhile and then give up. I am not happy with my weight, more importantly how my clothes fit. Summer is quickly approaching and my clothes are not fitting and lets face it a new wardrobe is…
