Drinking lots of water helps shed pounds too....to add more motivation, since I started drinking only water and hot tea, I feel so oops much better, and my skin has never looked more amazing! DRINK UP!

I love this thread!! That is exactly what I do. MFP set my calories at 1200 which I found out are way to low. I am adding calories every few days and now the scale is finally starting to move. I should be at 1900 but that number scares me. I am at 1500 for now which still gives me a deficit. If I stall out again I will raise my calories. I lift weights doing a total body workout keeping my HR at 135 to 145 which is tough to do since I have a naturally low heart rate to begin with. I had been with a PT but that is getting expensive. I will say though that he has taught me alot! So without him I am back to lifting weights and doing my cardio. Hope you don't mind if I jump in once in awhile.

There is a site called IIFYM.com you plug in all your stats. It tells you how many calories you should be eating along with how many grams of protein/carbs/fats. Come back to MFP and under goals, change your numbers. You can eat what you want as long as you stay within those numbers. It's called flexible dieting. My calories call for 1937 , but I am at 1500 right now because 1900 scares me.

I keep hearing about this Chunky Monkey and must give it a try. I normally have chocolate peanut butter, peanut butter cookie dough, or chocolate chip cookie dough. If only I could find a Choc-PB Cookie Dough...yummy...

Never heard of chunky monkey but I'm all over ben&jerry's peanut butter cups.
I just tend to avoid it since I can EASILY eat a whole tub
