I usually get anywhere from 30 to 50 grams, not sure what happened today, O wait I do, the low-carb things screwed me up, I wanted potatoes and bread today so I decided not to have fruit--I'm not sure if it was a bad choice or not but I was really not feeling good--so I decided to eat some different carbs and I felt a lot better--uh I'm going to talk to my trainer on Friday about this low-carb business, I just feel like I need at least 150 carbs but o'well,(((RG please pass the fiber and carbs to me))) I signed up for this program, I just need to find what works for me and what doesn't! Wow, everyone is doing so great, I'm really impressed , make me want to step up my game

I made pizza again today, so that always puts my sodium up higher. I did OK the rest of the day so it's not too terribly high.
I have a quick question. My daughter is pretty sick right now and I was up in the middle of the night with her getting sick. I was up for over 3 hours and had to eat something. It was at like 2am. If any of you have ever had to do this do you log it in the next days foods or the day before or not at all? Just curious how others might do it...
WTG mel and 4sq... gotta love that scale moving again! I need to get down 1.5 more pounds in 10 days to meet my next goal by the date I had set of Feb 2. My parents are coming to visit and I set a mini goal of 175 by the time they come. I can't seem to make myself exercise right now, I think it's all the illness that has been going on in my house lately. It has left me feeling drained and with no real energy besides basic house and child care.
Hope you all have a great night!
How can you organize when you eat in a day? For a high school student who has extracurricular activities I'm totally stumped.
I have lunch forth hour which is around 10:15am. Should I have breakfast then or should I have it in the morning? I want to include snacks
Calorie goal: 1,600
Calories burn: 2,300 (BMR + exercise)
Defecit: 700
If I eat in the morning it would be like 6:30. I think meals should be around 3 hours apart with snacks in between so it could go like this:
B: 6:30am-450 cal
s: 8:00am-100 cal
L: 10:30 am-450 cal
s: 12:00 pm- 100 cal
D: 4:00pm- 450 cal
treat: 6:00pm- 50 cal?
or
B: 10:30am-450 cal
s: 12:00pm- 100 cal
L: 1:30pm- 450 cal
s: 2:00pm- 100 cal
D: 5:00pm- 450 cal
treat: 700pm- 50 cal?
Maybe I could lower my afternoon snack a few calories so I could have a good treat. What do you guys think? Any tips. I'm taking weight loss seriously right now I even calculated calories with splurge days I need some help with this.
have a good weight loss,

HB, I would eat that breakfast at 6:30 and I'm not sure about your schedule the thing your need to ask yourself is at 6pm are you going to be hungry? If so you may want to stretch your meals out an hour further? Whatever you decide you definitely need to eat your first meal at 6:30 to get your metabolism going , I wouldn't wait-----the rest of your schedule you just need to decide how hungry are you and how do you feel--maybe test them out--try a different schedule each day and see what works the best. Good luck

Ate less than usual, simply too late when I finished protein shake and exercise. Delayed by guests.
Exercise-- 750 extra cals burned. (Above reg. cals in same time periods.)
Shopping 3 hours 35 minutes-- 544 cals = 290 once adjusted (for reg. cal. use.)
Gym routine 99 minutes-- 492 cals = 370 adjusted.
Rebounding 41 minutes-- 238 cals = 190 adjusted.
Total time = 140 minutes + 3 1/2 hours shopping.
Total cals burned = 1274.
Adjusted = 750. 
Pedometer reading = 15, 650+ (Hehe!) 
Parking lot walking and rebounding add up! 
Good Night Gang!!! 
Wait-a-minute! *Gulp! *
Good Morning...!!!
Where is everyone at? I was expecting coffee and muffins to be passed around! ((No one around)))) Uh, so I decided to take today off work, I just don't want to chance getting re-sick again just when I'm sorta getting better, my antibiotics end on Sunday so then I will start work again on Monday. It just gets really tricky for me since I work in a hospital because I don't want to get other people sick and I don't want other people to get me sick--so the best bet is for me to stay home. The house is all to myself today, haven't had that it a while, I think I'm going back to bed since no one is here to pass the coffee (sigh), ok I will check back in later
Sorry, boots!!!
I was up till rather.. ahem... early!
When I came by, I didn't want to be the first poster when I'd been the last...Lol!!!
Up till 3 a.m. is NOT my regular plan! TRYING to be good...!
GOOD MORN--NIINNGGG, GANG!!!
Where'd the coffee go...??? I NEED it today!!! 
Thank you tamleech!!! I can't thank you enough for telling me to check my BMR!!!
I have lost 1 pound in 2 days thanks to raising my calories.
That's GREAT 4sq!! It takes constant adjusting, I haven't been active at all lately, so I'm staying at my lower range of 1300-1350... sick kids are not fun. I go to bed afte 10pm and I'm awake again by 3 am. I have a terrible headache from lack of sleep and it's all I can do to not eat an entire chocolate cream cake right now to make myself "feel" better!
Any of you prayer warriors out there please pray for my daughter Darien (my 12 yr old w/ disabilities). When she gets sick it's always bad and it's taking it's toll on me since I don't have hubby to help.
Gonna go close all the windows and watch Biggest Loser on my Tivo while I try to relax this headache away and convince myself that chocolate is not some magical cure for a headache so I should NOT make a cake!!!
hi Tamleech -- sending healing light your way. How about some steaming cinnamon tea with honey for sweetness? (good for headache, good for sweet tooth.) And maybe some popcorn on the side to get rid of the crunchies. I also find a cup of cereal in a pretty bowl with Almond Breeze or soy milk to be quite comforting.
Is there any help in your town from United Way or local agency who might be a trained person to help watch your kids while you can go out for an hour or two? My friend has a wheelchair-bound 14 yo with CP, and she gets the local agency to help out once or twice a wheel through MRDD. Justa thought.
We're here for you, post if you need to.

I did a 30 minute Gilad workout (1:30pm et) and he kicked my butt with squats, lunges and these plank thingys. Than I did my 30 minutes on the treadmill. My speed I know probably wasn't that good because my legs were so exhausted from Gilad. But I'm trying to get my workouts up to an hour and I did today!

Praying, praying, praying!
=^..^= MOLLY
Tamleech, there's power in prayer and you have me joining in.
Today was (or is ) one of my 2 hrs of exercise days. 30min of strength training and 1 1/2hrs on treadmill. It is kinda funny, I never thought I would be able to walk that long on the treadmill, but Molly's idea of movies while you walk is really helping me stay with it, kinda fun and it helps distract me when I get tired.

Fun food fact = organic apple butter (unsweetened) is fantastic with fat free cottage cheese!
(extra carbs today, hard workout and TTOM, no wonder all I wanna eat is bread...) Gotta get back to the protein scene, hopefully back on track tomorrow. Whoo hoo, loving my veggies and fiber though! That's a new daily high for fiber for me.

We're hot and heavy into our new house negotiations, the seller (a non-profit community development group) has offered to buy my house as part of the deal. If we can agree on price for the new house, then the deal is close. (cross your fingers, eyes, toes -- that's gotta burn some calories!)
Have a good day all, keepin' the faith...
Love, RG
