| Weight Loss | I seem to be stuck... | Jul 10 2007 16:44 (UTC) |

| I think that increasing your exercise should definitely help, but if you're being more active, you probably need more calories to continue losing weight.
I would recommend using the allowance tool at the top of the page. Try plugging your numbers in for "sedentary" days as well as for "light activity" days- you will see that you need more calories, possibly even more than 1600 if you are very active. You should not be discouraged by the fluxuating weights. I weigh myself daily, but at the same time everyday, and I usually do see some consistency. I weigh myself when I first wake up in the morning (which is usually when I'm at my lightest), before I've eaten or moved around much. Although it may not be very accurate for my actual weight, I can usually tell if I'm gaining or losing anything. I think it can be encouraging when I'm losing, and when I'm gaining or staying at the same weight, it's more motivation for me to continue eating right and exercising. |

| I know it's probably hard to resist- maybe you could ask your mom to buy low-fat peanut butter instead of the regular stuff? It's still probably not good to eat every day, but if you limit the amount you're eating, you shouldn't have to completely cut peanut butter out of your diet :) | |||

| Weight Loss | low carb?? | Jun 30 2007 02:33 (UTC) |
|
| Personally, I could never give up carbs. I just joined CC a little over a month ago, and on the days that I have recorded all my foods/calories, I found I am averaging 170-200 carbs a day. I have continued to eat the same amount of carbs, and the weight is finally starting to come off- I lost 1 lb in the first month, and 2-3 more lbs just this past week and a half. I know there have been a lot of fad diets that encourage low carbs, but from my understanding, it is not necessary to lose weight. Just try to eat healthy and watch the calories, and you should be fine :) | |||

| Weight Loss | I need help! | Jun 29 2007 03:56 (UTC) |

| My advice would be to use the tools link at the top of the page. They will help you to calculate how many calories you should be eating each day to reach your goal weight. The tools will also help you to determine what that goal should be. You could set one long-term goal, or you could set a shorter-term goal to begin with, and set a new goal after that.
Rather than going on any specific diet, this website offers a lot of advice as to how to eat healthy and limit your calories to a reasonable number- which is a great way to lose weight. I am just getting started myself, but I have found the forums and information on here to be very helpful. I think it's great that you're being active. Continuing to ride your bike should be good exercise. Another inexpensive suggestion would be to buy some workout DVDs that you can do from home. Some people have mentioned that you can buy some at dollar stores, or Wal-mart and stores like that have some for only $10. I have a pilates DVD I really enjoy, but you can also get cardio and other kinds of workouts, depending on your preferences. Good luck, and don't give up! |

| Sounds like fiber does make a difference. For one of the challenges I'm doing on here, I'm tracking my fiber for the first time ever- and I'm coming up way short of the recommended minimum for women (21g). I've been getting 11-14g a day. I don't like veggies (but force myself to eat some each day), and beans are even worse. Any suggestions for other ways to get my fiber in? Should I consider taking a fiber supplement? The silly challenge now has me obsessing over fiber lol. | |||

Calories: 1192 (goal 1200) Cholesterol: 93mg Fiber: 14g I'm noticing that I'm always way under on my fiber. I've never tracked fiber or cholesterol before, so I'm sure this is good for me - but should I be taking some kind of supplement if I'm not getting enough fiber? |

| I thought this idea sounded kind of silly, but after so many people gave it great reviews, I thought I'd try it last night.
I made a french vanilla cake with Fresca- delicious! I couldn't taste a difference between my cake and cake made with oil and eggs. For frosting, I used Jell-o sugar free/fat free white chocolate pudding. It came out a little clumpy (I probably didn't mix it well enough), but the cake tasted great! I cut into smaller pieces- less than 100 calories for a piece of cake with the frosting :) Great idea, thanks for sharing! |

| Thanks someday- ugh, I hate veggies. I always have to cook them into something else I'm eating, but I will work on that. Fruits are just so much tastier to me! I guess I'll try more salads to boost the fiber. | |||

(Monday) Goal Calories: 1400 (I exercised today- 1200 on days I don't) Actual Calories: 1310 Fiber: 11g Cholesterol: 111mg I have never tracked my fiber or cholesterol before, but they are probably something I should pay attention to. Didn't seem to have problems with cholesterol, but my fiber seems very low- any suggestions for high fiber/low calorie foods? |
