I wouldn't say this is a sucess story But
Because I'm not done, eight more lbs I want before I go to maintenance. I feel like this should go on a Bragg topic. So I am super excited. Shopping at Macys today for a suit for interview next week... The sales clerk was helping me in the petite section', I'm pretty short. My first pair of slacks were a 4, second a 2, and…

Uh oh
Worst weekly calorie count ever had, 1154 over, that's more than one day! Put back on two lbs, that's a pretty lousy feeling. Was afraid what my measurements would read, so skipped them today. Maybe I should just brave it up and take tomorrow, so my diary is accurate. Had my grands for the weekend. We did pizza tacos…

Calories right but what about sugar and fat and protien
I'm still struggling with my nutrients. Specifically the protein and fat, (and getting better with the sugar but still over more than not). If your week shows your calorie intake on target but protein still not reached often, should you still expect a loss? If your calories are on target but over in fat or sugar are over,…

Had grands over for 4 days, bday celebration with cake and ice cream, and when the cake was gone chocolate chip cookies with ice cream. Didn't logged 4 days in until now. The first day I marked up to an over maintenance day, following days kept telling myself I will do better the next day, it was like I already messed up…

Good weigh in, but why won't my inches go down
So weighed well this week, with a two lb loss, I'll take that. Over all 23lbs. Can't complain. But why are my measurements not going down. Anyone know what could be causing that? Appreciate any feed back.

Whole vs processed foods
Still been working on that old protien level. :( . Like it's so out of reach for me to make 70 grams and stay in my deflect, what a balancing act...lol Trying to be very careful not to go over calorie, fat, sugars. I know there are low fat and sugar free things out there, but aren't they processed. Been trying to eat whole…

Not sure what heading this falls under.
Just wanted to say, after my question about the best protien bars, quest was rated the highest. I really need something to boost my protien, and almost everyone suggested quest, along with their favorite favors. I bought about three bars a week ago just to try them out,and they are great! ESP in the microwave for 10…

Processed, whole, clean, organic
Eating clean whole foods, should not allow low. Fat, no sugar. And if it comes stored in a box it is most likely processed. There are even recipes for whole or organic foods? And even Organic foods are even more different. Am I on the right page?

Not sure where to ask this
I've lost 21 lbs, I've gone down from size ten to two, sometimes even 0. I just don't see it, it's seems like it has been slow but realistically I've done pretty well in this 18 weeks. I wish the tape measure would show a difference, but it has barely changed. I'm concerned with my neck, it looks like I lost some weight…

Two, three bad nutrient and calorie days

Work real hard to stay on track, but when I'm around the high calorie sweet stuff, like desserts, trouble! At home I keep several things a treats, organic icecream, or angel food cake, trail mix, chocolate covered…

Not loosing inches
0 Comments by Adpalangi1 , Today at 11:27 AM (0 Views) followed the instructions the Venus ladies suggested or tried real hard to understand. Last few weeks I've got to the scale to be pleased with 1-2 lbs. But disturbingly and no idea why, the inches have come down alittle, but then they go up more than what I started…

What's your favorite? How does yours fit into your days nutrition diary? I've tried a lot of different ones and haven't come up what I want, all in one bar, lol. Did try a zone bar today, can't remember what it ran high in, but it seems all the different ones out there, you pay in your fats, sugars to get if your lucky 10…

Protien bars
So I know I've asked prob too many times, but I'm still doing something wrong. I stay within my calorie deflect, but I'm no where near my protien goal of 70. Today I actually had the lowest 13. I try to add a lot of protien thru out the day, but I just don't make it, and usually I go over my fat and sugar. I'm so…

I just can't seem to get this right
I certinally have been expire ending from the wonderful advice I've got here..but still not getting it right. Starting my 4th week of second time around, shouldn't be such a problem. Mainly concerned with protien, of seventy that I never get close to, and my sugar and fat going over. I've gotten better with the sugar and…

Dinner before bedtime
Is it harmful to eat your dinner just an hr before going to bed. Concerned dinner usually holds most my calorie, and protien (which is still about 20 short of my goal) and by that time of day my sugar and fat go over goal, sometimes alittle sometimes more. So I'm wondering what happens to all the calories and nutrients…

I can't let this happen!
I followed the dietary program of Venus Index, 12 weeks I'd say very well. Started on my second round of the 12 week program because I had not done the weight training. I lost 16 lbs in the 12 weeks, not as much as I wanted, I' like to loose another 10-15 lbs to reach my target weight goal, so I'm adding in weight…

Calories, protien, carbs, fat and sugar
Is it very important. That you stay in accord enhance with all the nutrients. Seems like the closer I can get myself to the calorie goal, either my fat or sugar is over, not over a lot, but often. Reaching my protien goal hasn't gotten any better. I might get pretty close to it, but again my carbs sugar or fat go up. Any…

I know what the basic foods are, and I've been eating them, but still come up short on the protien and alittle over on the fat , and sugar, think I've got fat and sugar down.
