Shell I wasn't sure what to do today when I wanted to post so early. I was so excited about losing my pound that I couldn't wait.  I was like 'where is that post for 3/21?'

BMR 1793 + exercise (1 hr walking) 224 = 2017 - 500 = 1517 food budget
Pre-breakfast: 2 tea biscuits (32)
Breakfast: oatmeal w/ banana (244)
AM Snack: canned peaches & 2 tea biscuits (92)
Lunch: 1/2 southwestern meatloaf burger in 1/2 pita with soy cheddar (boy, that was a mistake! blech!) & chili sauce, cooked carrots with salad dressing (291)
PM Snacks: Luna bar (180), 1 large gumdrop (45), slice of bread w/ margarine (97)
Dinner: grilled chicken w/ honey & soy sauce, baked potato w/ margarine, spinach (399)
Dessert: orange jello (90)
Drinks: 4 mugs teeccino w/ stevia & nondairy creamer (40), 2 glasses water = 80oz
Food & drinks total: 1510
Fruits & veggies: 6
Well, it's official... I've gained 5lbs.  I'm really upset & kinda depressed about this. I'm just barely fitting in my biggest pair of jeans. Gah! I don't even know if I'm doing this BMR thing right now. I have to admit that I haven't been very diligent about reporting the BLT's, as they were called in here a few days ago, and I'm sure all those little bits of candy and whatnot added up. But I'm looking at a food budget of 1517 and thinking, how am I going to lose weight eating that much? 
I'm using the BMR calculating formula here: http://www.theministryoffitness.com/mof/library/articles/article6.htm For a body weight of 130 and an activity level of "quiet sitting" (which does accurately describe the majority of my day), I came up with 1793. My height is 5'2" and I'm 30. If that sounds way off base to any of you, let me know.
By the way, anybody else have a spouse/significant-other who can eat junk and sit on their a** all the time and not gain weight? God, that's annoying. (And yes, I have wicked PMS, which isn't helping my mood any!)

Maybe your weight will be quite different after 'that time'. I suppose you could be holding water. Keep up hope!

B: same as always- 435 cals
snacks: luna and banana- 280
lunch: banana, sweet potato and orange- 370
then I had a nap which was a bad idea as I now have bloating again after a few days without. And it is bad. I am home with it tonight.
snack: some baked tortilla chips and pistachios- 200
dinner: feel pretty sick! had 4 slim pieces Italian Peasant bread toast and honey- 225
total 1510
exercise: 50 minutes treadmill and weights no ball work yet. 350 cals or so.
Water: not so much but lots of tea this evening.
I am taking the night off of editing and I am watching Shrek 2. I am always behind on movies since taking on the project of writing a novel. Very lame and uncool.

Maybe your weight will be quite different after 'that time'. I suppose you could be holding water. Keep up hope! Good point... I really didn't think of that. It's funny how I never used to have problems like retaining water, but the older I get, all these dumb things start happening to me. We'll see in a week, I guess.

Well, Adam's not a small guy either, but his weight is constant, know what I mean? If I sat down and ate a bag of brownies or chips (pretend for a minute that I don't have IBS, hah!), and did it often, I'd gain weight. He doesn't have to count calories, and he's always the same size. Not fair!

OK - I posted yesterday and it disappeared on me! I must have not clicked continue 
Here we go:
B - Usual - UFO beverage/UFO food, SFS
Activity - Walk on treadmill for an hour
S - Dulce de Leche Luna Bar (I finally found where my grocery store was "hiding" these!)
S2 - Grapefruit
L - Sandwich made with Two slices of Mesquite Grilled turkey and a slice of Swiss *****, Potato salad - 1/2 cup, SFS
S - Brown rice cake - unsalted
D - Lean Cuisine Lemon Chicken, DH made me a Greek ***** with low fat vinagarette dressing, SFS
BMR = 2166
Activity = 131
Food Total = 1569
2166 - 131 = 2035
2035 - 1569 = 466
Better than yesterday. I was VERY hungry yesterday. Much better today. I am still sad over my bunny. I am going to sell his cage and carrier on E-Bay. I have no plans to get another rabbit. The carrier is too small for Leo and Oreo.
Take care,
Karen

I would say an average of 1500 cals a day is probably good for you. You don't necessarily have to get all precise with it in calculating what exercise you did that day and then making yourself up a food budget (though some people prefer to do it that way) - you could just say 'everyday I should eat between 1400 and 1500 calories', going no lower than 1400 and no higher than 1500, and making sure you're getting some light exercise like walks throughout the week.
I'd second Minnie's comment that you're possibly retaining water. Weight can be so wonky sometimes. Also it's evident that you're already doing this but the key to fat loss is many small meals throughout the day - again, I know you already do this and that IBS-wise you probably don't let yourself get hungry or stuff your face at one sitting when you do - but that's a key to fat loss too, not only staying stable! (Another great thing about this diet!)
I wouldn't worry too much about it right now. See how you are next week I guess.

AF started late last night, so for giggles I hopped on the scale when I woke up this morning, and sure enough - I'm 127, not 130. So I was apparently holding water or something and I did all that fussing for nothing. Sorry about that, guys! I should have known better... like I said, I don't eat THAT much, I should have figured it wasn't actual gain when the scale suddenly jumped 5lbs. Duh.
I still need to be more diligent about paying attention to what I eat, though. It wasn't until yesterday that I realized those stupid gumdrops are 45 cals apiece. I don't usually stop at 1, and I don't always report those, either. Just an example.
Anyway, thanks for the reassurance.

Have you tried keeping some soda crackers by your bed? Eat a few before you even sit up. I found that helpful. I munched on soda crackers all morning and it did make a difference. Have you tried drinking some tea to help? Peppermint worked for me as well, as well as ginger for the nausea. There's also a med for morning sickness that's called Diclectin. It's an antihistamine with B12 that also is helpful. HAng in there, Mommy to be! The morning sickness will be over before you know it. Are you feeling tired? I was exhausted those first few weeks.

Hello all! Yesterday I did very good. I still don't completely trust fitday, since I have not taken the time to input all my "custom foods" and rely on their calorie/fat/carb counts which don't always seem accurate.
Breakfast - 1/2 grapefruit, 1 slice ww toast w/PB, 1 c. soy milk w/fiber (296)
Snack - banana, UFO beverage (247)
Lunch - Turkey on ww w/spinach and spicey mustard (234)
Snack - PB (naughty!)
Dinner - broiled tilapia fillet w/lemon pepper seasoning and UFO sauce (YUM), couscous (509)
Snack - green grapes (114)
Excercise - 1 hr pilates class. Pilates is not an "activity" on fitday - anyone have any idea how many cals it might burn???
water - 80ish oz
TOTAL FOOD CALORIES - 1498. So if I burned say 100 cal doing pilates I am almost in my 1 lb/wk weight-loss range. Pretty good, I'd say! Especially since my only added sugar was in the coffee and PB.

Hi Alicia!
Thanks for the wonderful advice!! I do keep graham crackers by my bed and snack on those in the morning before getting up... I'm just really struggling with keeping my belly at a happy-medium. I'm constantly snacking but I still feel hungry all the time. I just bought a whole bunch of fresh fruit, fruit cups and baby food at the store since that's kind of what I've been in the mood for lately, so we'll see how it goes.
Exhaustion was one of my first symptoms, but lately I've been coming out of my naps with a yucky tummy, so I've been hesitant to keep doing them. Thankfully I'm not working so I have that in my favor and I can just lounge around if I need to.

I had a personal trainer for awhile and she kicked my butt. She was such a great motivator. Unfortunately, a little too expensive so I took what she taught me and use it on my own now. It was very helpful to get on a routine and learn how to properly use the equipment. My other problem when I had her was the problem I have now. I would go straight from work and starving and would completely exhaust myself and upset my tummy. MORE CALORIES, more food for me, let's hope I get better with this
Good luck I am sure you will love it, and will feel so great

It was very helpful to get on a routine and learn how to properly use the equipment. Yes, she is NOT cheap.... but she told me that she will teach me EVERYTHING I will need to know to do it on my own by the time she is done with me.... she is one of those that wants to TEACH and move on to the next "newer" person to get them going.... I think that is great...other trainers just wanna keep ya around to make more money off of ya... the only reason I'm getting her is because I think I have done as much as I can on my own and really need to start playing with the "Big Boys" and she is gonna teach me HOW to do this..... My other problem when I had her was the problem I have now. I would go straight from work and starving and would completely exhaust myself and upset my tummy. MORE CALORIES, more food for me, let's hope I get better with this
This is what I had.... but did not always.. and it is great cuz you don't need a blender... I just have a two little funnels one for the milk and one for the powder, I just use the bottle that I refill and drink out of all day... put it in there and shake it really good...then throw the bottle away when done....then I grab a fresh bottle for the gym and the balance of the evening...

Lunch : 287 calories brought my own sandwich (Tuna w/RF Mayo and Pickles)& Water
Snacks during the day not in any order: 410 calories Toasted Nutz N Cranberry Luna Bar, Mini Box Cheerios DRY, Mini Box Golden Grahams DRY (those do have a little dairy but I'm ok with them) & Water
Before Working Out: 196 calories Spiru-Tein Energy Drink (Chocolate w/Vanilla Silk Soy Milk) I think this is REALLY helping me to have this before working out!! & Water
While Working Out: 7 calories 2 Altoids & Water
Dinner: 770 calories UFO's, Mashed Potatos & Water
Fiber Pills: 2.25 calories total
Without any more snacks at all....(subject to change) = 1912.25 calories
Total Water intake = 96 oz
I DID NOT have UFO w/water. That DID NOT add 250 calories for a total of 1912.25 . Still in my food budget!!

I remember I felt worse if my stomach was empty. Try to keep something in your stomach all the time. When it got empty, I felt worse, didn't feel like eating which made it worse - it was a vicious cycle. Glad the fatigue isn't getting you down. I remember I dragged myself to work those days - it was awful.

BMR 1793 + exercise (1 hr walking) WOW that is wonderful!! 224 = 2017 - 500 = 1517 food budget
Pre-breakfast: 2 tea biscuits (32)
Breakfast: oatmeal w/ banana (244)
AM Snack: canned peaches & 2 tea biscuits (92)
Lunch: 1/2 southwestern meatloaf burger in 1/2 pita with soy cheddar (boy, that was a mistake! blech!) LOL  & chili sauce, cooked carrots with salad dressing (291)
PM Snacks: Luna bar (180), 1 large gumdrop (45), slice of bread w/ margarine (97)
Dinner: grilled chicken w/ honey & soy sauce yum , baked potato w/ margarine, spinach (399)
Dessert: orange jello (90) you do ok with that? I have not tried it in a long time, I made a Jell-O fruit salad for Easter as requested by the family guess I'll give it a go...
Drinks: 4 mugs teeccino w/ stevia & nondairy creamer (40), 2 glasses water = 80oz good!
Food & drinks total: 1510
Fruits & veggies: 6
Well, it's official... I've gained 5lbs. I'm really upset & kinda depressed about this. I'm just barely fitting in my biggest pair of jeans. Gah! I don't even know if I'm doing this BMR thing right now. I have to admit that I haven't been very diligent about reporting the BLT's, as they were called in here a few days ago, and I'm sure all those little bits of candy and whatnot added up. But I'm looking at a food budget of 1517 and thinking, how am I going to lose weight eating that much?
I'm using the BMR calculating formula here: http://www.theministryoffitness.com/mof/library/articles/article6.htm For a body weight of 130 and an activity level of "quiet sitting" (which does accurately describe the majority of my day), I came up with 1793. My height is 5'2" and I'm 30. If that sounds way off base to any of you, let me know. I've noticed that others replied to this already, seeing as I'm 4 days behind on posts...I'll come back to this one if needed after I read the rest of the thread.
By the way, anybody else have a spouse/significant-other who can eat junk and sit on their a** all the time and not gain weight? nope....he puts on the weight too when he eats crap all day...(like today) God, that's annoying. (And yes, I have wicked PMS, which isn't helping my mood any!) I know the feeling...that was me last week

AF started late last night, so for giggles I hopped on the scale when I woke up this morning, and sure enough - I'm 127, not 130. So I was apparently holding water or something and I did all that fussing for nothing. Sorry about that, guys! LOL , but that is GOOD news!! I should have known better... like I said, I don't eat THAT much, I should have figured it wasn't actual gain when the scale suddenly jumped 5lbs. Duh.
I still need to be more diligent about paying attention to what I eat, though. It wasn't until yesterday that I realized those stupid gumdrops are 45 cals apiece. I don't usually stop at 1, and I don't always report those, either. Just an example. I know....just like my Altoids and smarties.
Anyway, thanks for the reassurance.

YEAH.... you will work things out... your body is adjusting....
