Sticking to 1200 net calories a day. No weightloss. Why?
I'm doing a great job of sticking to my 1200 net calories a day. Sometimes a little less, like 1150, but nothing drastic. Two weeks ago, I lost 2.7 pounds. This week, I lost 0. Didn't gain either, but didn't lose. I thought staying at a consistent 1200 calories would help me lose 1.5 pounds a week. What gives? Advice?…

Atkins Bars.... weight loss success?
Anyone using the Atkins bars for meals and snacks, and having success at losing weight? I am nearly 2.5 weeks in to induction, and have almost lost 3 pounds. I'm losing so slowly, and its starting to frustrate me. I stay at 20g of net carbs or less, I run 3 times a week, and I'm staying away from diet sodas. Any…

Staying under calorie goal and still losing weight?
I have 1200 calories allotted per day.... most of the time, I stay under that. Not intentionally and not by a lot... I'm anywhere between 1100 and 1150 calories per day. Every time I "complete my entry", I get the, "you're under eating and this could cause your body to go into starvation mode". Do I need to worry about…

Anyone have success with P.I.N.K. method?
This workout method seems very similar to many others out there.... p90x, insanity, etc.... however, the thing that intrigued me was that workouts are wayyyyy shorter than with p90x. Has anyone been on PINK for at least a month (sticking to plan, of course) and seen great results? I'd love to try it, but I don't want to…

How long before you stop feeling like you're still "big"?
Went winter coat shopping this week. I got a size 14 to try on, even though I know I'm not a 14 anymore. Then tried on the 10. Then grabbed the 8. Yup. It fits! I was actually surprised at how well the 8 fit. Very surprised. This was a major NSV for me especially since I'm in a weight loss rut right now, and can't seem to…

Switched to Almond Milk months ago.... now regular milk make
It it possible that I have taught my body to go without lactose in milk, and now that I've been using almond milk for several months, whenever I have milk in coffee like Starbucks lattes, I get really sick? I've had Starbucks on Friday/Saturday, and a few hours later, I felt really sick. The small amounts of cheese in…

Giving "Paleo" a try. Here's to a 30 day Paleo challenge. An
Had an awful "food" weekend, so I'm afraid to get on the scale and see the damage that I've done.... but I've decided to try the Paleo diet. Day 1 of Paleo was a success today. Can't wait to see how this ends up affecting my weight. Anyone have success with the Paleo diet? Anyone have tips for modifying paleo when training…

How am I supposed to get to 145 pounds if I'm always HUNGRY!
I've managed to get to 161 pounds which is the lowest that I have been in FOREVER! I worked hard to get there from 205 pounds, but I am still considered "overweight". I am 16 pounds away. And that just seems like so much. I'm struggling with the idea that I just won't get there because I'm always hungry. I'm allotted 1200…

How do you stay sane?
Today: Super busy morning/day that I couldn't eat a good breakfast/lunch, so I was STARVING for dinner.... and I went over my net calories by 153 calories. Even though I ate a lot, I didn't eat over 1500 calories, but I'm on such a role with my weight loss that I'd hate to have a set back... I know, I'm over reacting, but…

I quit weight watchers and fell in love with myfitnesspal
Reasons I disliked weight watchers and I immediately fell in love with mfp: 1. Getting used to converting cals, fat, fiber information into points was very annoying at first (gets easier, but why convert when calories are readily available?) 2. I was paying $18/month to do weight watchers online, mfp is FREE! :) 3. I love…

Miracle Noodles
I have a few questions about the awesome miracle noodles that I've been hearing about.... 1. If they don't have to be cooked, why are people complaining that they are too rubbery when cooked? 2. Do they taste good with spaghetti sauce? Or only in Asian dishes? 3. Can they only be purchased online or does anyone know of any…

Great running shorts at a resonable price
I love my under armour running shorts with a little pocket in the back for my car key, but I'm looking for something more for my races. I'd like a few additional pockets for gu and something that won't ride up after a while. Anyone seen any great deals out there? Every time I see some awesome running shorts at places like…

Losing weight while training for a half marathon
I train for half marathons for about 3-4 months. In that time, I only manage to lose about 2-4 pounds. I'm getting enough exercise, so it's likely that my food sabotages my weight loss. Any tips/suggestions on what I can do foodwise to help my weight loss along? I know eat "healthier" and "smaller portions", but I'd like…

Calories burned with p90x
I've seen several posts about people doing p90x, but I haven't found anything on how they keep track of calories burned with the workouts. I'd think that doing plyometrics would burn more calories than doing the chest and arms workout. Other than using a hrm, how do you guys track the calories burned when doing p90x…
