On off days or days where I can't fit exercise in, I get depressed. My mind just can't wake up and everything seems wrong. Funny that a few weeks ago I posted about how I don't like exercise. Now I think I'm addicted to it. Wicked! I LOVE exercise now and I want to spread the message. If you're feeling depressed, seriously, try it for a few weeks. If you're a beginner, start with Leslie's walk at home dvd's. I do them almost daily along with other things. It should pep you up!

Oh and that One has a part that says "formula." no clue what thy want from me there.

I won't then, garsh!! Lol. Don't want to anyway!! Ok. Mfp is putting me At 1200 calories a day when I entered that I'm lightly active and want to lose 2 lbs a week. I think lightly active is correct anyway. Their options are strange. No option for "I burn ____ a day".

Lol I'm pearish so I'll lose slow in my big old butt. Sigh.

Oh I realize. I mentioned that this is the first time I've felt that this is the real deal. I just want to know why. And if I should start eating more calories. I'm not even sure that i can right now though really since I'm pretty much just eating what I want (within reason), getting my Protein, 1 Protein Drink, taking my Vitamins and drinking my Water and that still keeps me under 800 calories a day. And I even fry my egg in bacon grease sometimes!!!

Hahaha I said end rant and kept blabbing. Lol I had surgery march 2nd this year at 224 lbs. im 5'3 so my bmi was 40. I'm 188.9 now. Don't get me wrong, I love that number and I'm not comparing myself to others, but I AM comparing to my own past history.

Ok I'm disappointed, not necessarily upset over this. I'd like to know the science behind this. I like to know how things work. So this week I was told that the "eat more calories and busy through a stall" thing is a myth. But why did I lose faster doing weight watchers eating about 1300 calories a day? Or vegan eating probably close to 1500 calories a day. Or Atkins eating a ton! (I know, Ketosis, but I lost slow in Ketosis on this 'diet' too. Now. I'm thrilled to pieces about the sleeve. For once in my life I feel like this is going to last. This is working. I just wonder why so slow? /rant Ps the last month I've lost 1.2 1.4 1 What the heck? On all 3 other diets I lost about 5/week. For weeks on end. Especially vegan. I remember getting on the scales every week and seeing a 6 lb loss. I'm working out a lot now and I was doing the same exercises then. It just doesn't make sense to me and I'd love to get all technical. This is making me wonder if I need more calories. Or if I need to eat more than 20 carbs etc. if I lost 3-6 lbs a week doing weight watchers, maybe I need to go back up to 1200 calories with a lot of Fiber etc. I feel confused.

What is an 18w? Do sizes go 14 14w 16 16w and so forth? My 18w's are too big on me so I was excited thinking I'm in a 16 now but it probably means I'm only in an 18 huh? I'm NOT shopping for jeans until I think I might be on the "normal side" or else I'd just go try stuff on. That's a sensitive subject- shopping for clothes has always left me disgusted and really disappointed in myself.

That's super fast weightloss. What's your workout plan? You look great!

I just got ddp yoga. From what I've done so far, I really like it. <-- crazy inspirational!

You know, I should start any day now. How would Sleevie be bigger when my uterus is throwing a fit? How's it related? And today, I wasn't able to eat like yesterday. I think stress tenses up my sleeve.

I'm trying to think. (Never a good thong lol) I measure with scales, and I'm trying to visualize my Breakfast in a cup. I'd say it was around half a cup max. dinner, 2 oz chicken and a Protein bite "dessert". Yeah, probably about half cup Do you ever have days that you swear you ate too much, look at mfp and realize you've only gotten 500 calories? Lol. Happens to me at least once a week.

Hello, I'm 10 weeks out now, and just in the last 2 days it seems like I can eat more than usual. For instance, usually I can eat 2 of my homemade Protein bites and feel full. Now I eat two and feel like I could eat at least one more, maybe two. Huh? I'm drinking more/faster too. I'm not hungrier, just have more room all of a sudden. Husband and I joked tonight that maybe I wasn't really sleeved, but got the privation and the stitches (things) popped. Lol. No way, I can't even eat close to what I could in the past. So is this'd pretty common around 10 weeks? I know some way farther out than me that can't eat chicken.

I'm bumping this because i just bought the 4 disc set on eBay and I'm SO excited to start!! Tips? Do I need a yoga mat?

Something that hasn't been mentioned i that a lot of low carbers are counting net carbs. (Carb count minus Fiber count) that's what in doing. I usually get around 38 carbs but minus the fiber, it's still under 20 like I'm aiming for. I eat meat, cheese, some nuts, dry roasted edamame. I won't touch crackers because they make me crave more and I haven't had much in the way of fruit since being sleeved 10 weeks ago. Fruit makes me hungry as a snack, and I don't usually have room for it during my meal. I want mine super low while losing to lose quicker and hopefully consistently.

I hate the whites too. Much prefer the yolk. In fact, with hard boiled eggs, I'll only eat the yolk.

thanks for the link i've seen this mentioned before and forgot i wanted to get it.

So about a week ago I committed to keeping my net carbs under 22 and to get my 60 g of protein finally. I've made 2 desserts for my family (all healthy-ish versions of stuff) and I've skipped it all. Until tonight. Tonight I made banana bran muffins with nuts. I picked the smallest one and ate it. It was a whim and I realized that I hadn't waited 15 minutes after drinking. I also ate the muffin fast. Uhoh. This means its probably coming back up. And a few bites did actually. I also went and did a ttapp "hoedown" (on YouTube) for carb busting. I feel bad about myself a little when I eat junk on a whim. I mean here I am working out 4 days a week and trying so hard to stay low carb. I'm researching heartrate monitors and planning c25k when It warms up in central mo. What did I go and do that for? We're all human and we have to live in this world and we'll all have weak moments. Whatever. Now I commit to ONLY healthy desserts for the family.

Went off it a few days back. Today I started noticing I can only eat about half of what I could before. I feel the acid feeling and I feel full faster. Either it's the lack of a ppi, my pancreas acting up again or maybe gall bladder? Anyone have this happen with a ppi?

Thanks everyone! Indefinitely had a list of polars, including the ft4 in my amazon wish list, an dim gonna go with that as a starter. I can't wait to play with it!!!! And I love the pink and copper color, can't decide. Edit: maybe the ft4f which is only a couple more would be better. I don't swim, but it's Water resistant. I will run in the rain if necessary. Well poop: I want it to tell the time too. Perhaps the white ft40f would be better. It's REALLY cute. Would anyone want to take a minute to tell me the main differences between the ft60 and the ft40f?

Where do I start? I would like to know how many calories I've burned as well as heart rate. Whatcha got? Love it?
