Foods	The Devil makes Pop Tarts!	Dec 02 2009 19:54 (UTC)	6
Hi my name is Taryn and I am a pop tart addict. I had to sadly give up my chocolate fudge, strawberry, and cinnamon sugar tarts a year and a half ago. I would definitely eat the two in the package pretty much every day. It was a sad day to leave that relationship but I have just found the Fiber One pop tarts and even though they are a litttle less in everything but more in fiber I have found it will be worth it to me. At least I get my fiber in for the day AND they taste exactly the same, it feels like a sin. they aer 180 calories so it is alittle bitter still good for a snack when I am craving a sweet tooth.
Weight Loss	workin out for 30 mins	Jun 15 2009 20:16 (UTC)	1
1200 cal a day is a bare minimum to just have everything function correctly. If you are working out for 30 min, I think you should eat closer to 1350-1400. It depends how hard you a pushing yourself and how many calories you are burning.
Weight Loss	when you crave something, think about this	Apr 14 2009 22:52 (UTC)	1
I like to think about these .... A minute on the lips means wipe your mouth already Do I want it, or do I need it When in doubt don't There will always be another meal With your diet, don't dawdle -- if you don't want to waddle! Craving is only a feeling What you eat in private you wear in public I have a full page worth of quotes I have hanging in my pantry. Good reminder!
Weight Loss	Deca Slim	Apr 10 2009 21:35 (UTC)	22
I have a question about it. What happens when you reach your goal weight? Do you stop taking it because it is a "weight loss aid" and not a maintenance aid? What are the chances of gaining back some of the weight after you stop taking it?
Weight Loss	Tell me your current Weight Loss Frustrations	Apr 10 2009 20:54 (UTC)	19
thanks! Yea, I know. But it is still frustrating. lol. I know as long as the trend is going down time and speed isn't important. It's a lifestyle change and I'm doing this for health reasons. Now if only I could quit those pesky cigarettes haha.
Weight Loss	Tell me your current Weight Loss Frustrations	Apr 10 2009 20:37 (UTC)	21
A few weeks ago I finally decided to start working out (I had lost about 40lbs just by my diet change) and since then I haven't been able to move the scale! I believe my scale is out to get me.lol. HOWEVER, I am losing inches so as long as I am losing something somewhere (except my mind) I am happy. I am also having a REALLY hard time with self control over foods. That is my current battle and it is an uphill one.
Weight Loss	Celebrities Who've lost tons of weight	Apr 02 2009 00:32 (UTC)	2
Original Post by justice4me: what celebrities interest me the most are those who gained tons of weight but lost it all and kept it off. like Jared Leto and Rene Zellweger. what does that say? shouldn't it give people who gained a lot weight from binge eating or whatever some hope that dedication, exercise, and proper nutrition would help lose those un-needed unwanted pounds. It is different when a person is addicted to food as I am. Obviously Jared and Rene don't have that issue.

Weight Loss	How can upping your calorie intake help lose weight?	Mar 26 2009 17:18 (UTC)
Original Post by jj_jinxd: she was eating 1500 calories a day which is a little less then ideal to lose weight. What exactly do you mean by that? Do you mean little less ideal for you or in general?
Weight Loss	Silly question - weight trend	Mar 25 2009 13:01 (UTC)	3
The blue line represents your actual daily weight (what you input based on your scales reading), and the green line is a moving average trendline. The trend is an average of your last 10 weights which you inputted. The more frequently you input your data (once a day as opposed to once a week or less) the more accurate the trend data will be. If the trend is going up it shows you are gaining (on average), if it is going down it shows you are losing, if it is the same you are plateauing or maintaining. Hope that helps!
Health & Support	how do you know if you have an eatting problem???	Mar 24 2009 23:55 (UTC)	7
Original Post by xodeana03xo: this is mi diet i eat/drink under 500 calories a day not to bad iam still eatting. I exercise an hour a day iam not lossing weight and i dont know why? iam eatting the same i was before STARVATION MODE ~ LESS THAN 500 CALORIES This is a great website dedicated to helping people manage their weight in a healthy manner. Did you know that the bare minimum a woman should ever eat is 1200 calories a day? This is a widespread recommendation by the medical community and eating less puts you at risk and should only be done under the supervision of your healthcare provider. But even 1,200 calories a day may be too little and put you at risk of losing too rapidly. The other main guideline would be to lose 1 - 2 lbs a week which is considered a safe rate of weight loss by the medical community. To lose 1 lb a week, you would try to keep a 500 calorie deficit per day (double that for 2 lbs/week). [you have to cut back 3,500 cals to lose 1 lb; if you divide that over 1 week, that is 500 cals x 7 days = 3,500] Here's a nice explanation of the starvation mode theory and why it's better to try for a weight loss of 1 - 2 lbs a week... http://www.weightlossresources.co.uk/calories /burning_calori es/starvation.htm The following article will explain why calorie-count.com has chosen to promote healthy, sustainable weight managment. As you read the article you will recognize many things that people suggest as a healthy approach. The Skinny on Fat There are wonderful resources on this site to help you achieve a healthy daily caloric intake.

Undereating/eating every other day is an unhealthy habit, and one that is commonly connected to an eating disorder such as EDNOS (Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified.) *Ubdereating/eating every other day* is often considered to be a precursor to more dramatic behaviors and should be considered a warning sign. Do I Have An Eating Disorder? can help you determine if you have an eating disorder. You need to EAT in order to lose weight in a healthful manner, with a REASONABLE deficit of 500 to 1,000 calories and not more. I encourage you to check out the information in the library from our Eating Disorder Guide, Matthew Tiemeyer.

Weight Loss	What are some good detox diets? or good diet pills?	Mar 24 2009 21:05 (UTC)	3
Original Post by sammy45: for the billionth time today. HOW DO I DELETE THREADS? i'm sick of getting harassed, i get it, i know now not to post things such as that. okay? I hope that you stop posting things such as these topics because you know they are wrong and it is a wrong way to go about weight loss and not because you feel you are right and the rest of us are wrong so you will go ahead with it after a billion people have told you otherwise.

Weight Loss	Why is everyone on CC so against being slim?	Mar 24 2009 01:58 (UTC)	61
Original Post by chelseagirl: I feel like anyone that wants to lose weight and get down to slim is attacked for being vain or unhealthy. Exactly. We do not promote unhealthy choices rather, Calorie Count's mission is to promote healthy and sustainable weight management. Also, I feel we don't attack people, we just want to make sure it is healthy and people are doing damage to their bodies. We are like family and want to make sure everyone succeeds in the best and healthiest way!
Weight Loss	Why is everyone on CC so against being slim?	Mar 24 2009 01:53 (UTC)	62
Original Post by raychelc: I all for slim. I think it depends on a person's current weight, because clearly, someone weighing over 200 (women) with a goal to weigh 110..well, you know..that's a long way to go and might involve drastic measures for that person. I disagree. There is no drastic measure for women over 200lbs to get down to their goal weight. I started at 235lbs and my goal is 135lbs and I have done nothing "drastic" just slowly change my eating habits and incorporate exercising to my life. I've lost 45lbs since August doing it the healthy way. It took time to get fat so it will take time to get slim and healthy again.
Weight Loss	Foolproof way to stop eating when you're full and there's a plate in front of you!	Mar 21 2009 02:32 (UTC)	17
Original Post by banana_anna: I get all my extra food to my Bf, who wasn't fat but after almost 2 years of dating is now counting calories with me...oops, i swear i didn't mean to do that do him :/ Hahahaha. I did the same ting to my boyfriend. Now he is the fat one. I feel bad because he picked up the habits that I am now trying to break.
The Lounge	So, who decides what "pretty" is?	Mar 20 2009 22:52 (UTC)	23
Original Post by boston93: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. :) This is true, however, why are there so many girls trying to look like stick figures? I've never understood that? Which is part of my problem and the reason I got up to 235 lbs lol.
Weight Loss	what is YOUR most successful strategy to lose weight?	Mar 20 2009 20:12 (UTC)	15

Weight Loss	Is the mirror lying to me???	Mar 19 2009 21:55 (UTC)	9
well thank you nomnom! It has taken me 7 months to take it off and I am not quite to my halfway goal yet! lol. I am hoping to be at 185 by May 16th! (Moving to a new apt and want to be able to move things up three flights of stairs lol) It is always nice to hear that from people because I just don't see the difference. Except today I put both hands on my waist and I was like WHOA! it IS smaller. SW: 235 CW: 194 GW: 135 Height: 5'6" Thought since both ya'll put your stats I should as well.
Weight Loss	Is the mirror lying to me???	Mar 19 2009 20:28 (UTC)	11
It is probably because you see yourself every day. I have that problem I have lost 46lbs and I don't think my brain has caught up with my weight loss. I still look at small clothes and think to myself there is no way it is going to fit and then.... Ta Da! IT DOES! I also got on a plane the other day and I finally fit in the seat. Of course I doubted myself thinking well, maybe this seat is a little bigger. Nope, I have actually lost weight.
Weight Loss	Beware - Starbucks Crumb Cake!	Mar 19 2009 20:20 (UTC)	1
Original Post by lisad2003: Next time try Starbuck's low-fat (or no-fat, I don't remember) cinnamon coffee cake. VERY good, and much better for you If you are talking about the low fat cinnamon swirl coffee cake it isn't much better for you. It is still 360 calories! I made that mistake once. The only thing I get at starbucks is the Tazo Tea and if I am hungry (which the tea helps surpress) I eat one of their fruit thingy
