First time logging for seven straight days
I have bad consistency issues. I have lost 3 pounds this week, although I am sure the first day I weighed myself there was definite bloating so I think it is actually closer to 1 pound, but I am happy all the same. My diet it pretty horrible though. I am either eating things that are okay for me such as whole grains,…
Workout Fitness Plan for Beginners?
I have been looking around on the internet for quite a while but I can't seem to find anything that I am looking for exactly. I am trying to find a fitness plan, that is relatively low impact, (for health reasons) that I can follow. I don't care if its 5 days a week or 7 I just really wanted to start getting in shape and…
what to do on those days when your constantly hungry?
Everyone has the days where you just become a bottomless pit. I feel that today is going to be one of those days for me. It is only 9:30 in the morning and I have already eaten 1/3 of my calories and I don't even feel like I have eaten anything at all. Granted there hasn't been any protein in there really so that probably…
Home life is draining me...how to rise above it?
I have never really had a problem with motivation or support, but this is not the case right now. I only have about 10 lbs to lose but the bigger problems are my eating habits are horrendous!! If I keep this up, I don't know how much weight I will gain, but more importantly, I will be slowly killing myself:( I am in a…
No idea how many calories I should be eating
Okay so, I don't really understand the whole BMR and TDEE thing. I understand what they mean but different websites seem to be conflicting. I tried these two sites : http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ and http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/bmr/ and they tell me how many calories I should be eating to lose…
What does everyone allow in terms of "cheating"?
Every Saturday and Holiday I don't obsess over what I eat. I don't count calories and if I want a treat I have it. This is all within reason of course. I don't go binging once a week, but I don't log in here and don't think about calories as much although still try to make the healthier choices. I feel that this keeps me…
Lost 8 lbs this week
So I think I am doing this wrong... I just had a baby two and half weeks ago and am breastfeeding. I wanted to start loosing weight so I cut my calories down to 1800 which is 1200 plus 500 for breastfeeding and I lost 8 lbs this week. That doesn't seem healthy to me. What could have caused this? I don't want to lose too…
Would like some friends for motivation!
I just started logging at the beginning of the week and will be weighing in on Saturdays. I have 28 lbs to lose and am excited for the journey. I am currently 22 years old, 5'4/143 lbs and just had a baby two weeks ago and have a 3 years old as well. I am just calorie counting until I get the okay from my doctor to start…
Pregnancy Pounds!
Hi everyone, I am a young mom of 2. I am 22 years young and just had my daughter 10 days ago. I have 28 pregnancy pounds to lose and am excited to start the journey. I won't be super active for the first 6 weeks (until I get clearance from my doctor) but would like to start tracking my food at least. I love how they have a…
