Do you track your activity with Pacer or FitBit or anything of the sort?

I've really learned a lot about food and portions on MFP. The food diary is key! I love looking at other people's food diaries, checking out their meals and snacks and calorie counts. You can also get the Pacer app- you can link it it MFP. The pacer app will track your steps, you can choose if those steps are a mild stroll…

I LOVE LOVE LOVE ME SOME PEANUT BUTTER, I COULD JUST ABOUT LIVE ON IT. MY MAJOR WEEKNESS IS VANILLA ICE CREAM WITH NATURAL PEANUT BUTTER POURED ALL OVER IT. But I think that's where those last twenty pounds came from- the twenty pounds that took me from overweight to OBEASE. I love the " Trim Healthy Mama" diet/ new…

I do the same thing! I cant stand the taste of a hard boiled egg yolks! Yucky yuck. When I make scrambled eggs I use 5 egg whites and just 1 yolk.

Currently there are 5 weight loss pills on the market, but by prescription only and they come with many side effects. It's up to you and your doctor to decide if it's the right choice for you.

Miss ana3067, Squats don't have to be done 20- 30 squats in a row, do them 1 or 2 at a time. It's all about form, working up to more squats at a time and really just the personal satisfaction of completing something with a good possibility of a couple of stronger tighter muscles.

When I reach a plateau, I usually watch every single carb that I eat. I stick to lean protein and veggies!

. I don't think it's bragging. It's encouraging one another. I thought that was sorta the point of the FITNESS AND EXERCISE FORUM?

I'd be happy for some lost inches! Time to bust out the tape measure!

Hey miss BONNIEDALBERG! I completely agree with many of the points you make ! Most of them actually. I do love many of the recipes, there are some crazy concoctions for sure! I think those mamas musta had the munchies when they were piecing some of those recipes together!

Ah yes the joy of an apartment built in the 1970's,

That's how I feel! I shouldn't have to listen to their music. Nor should I have to dodge giant piles of dog diarrhea ! What the heck happened to common courtesy? Common decency?

Haaaaaa! Love it, I get up for work at 2:30 am, perhaps tomorrow morning I'll start to stomp tap around the house :)

The land lord says call the cops, the cops don't really care till after 10pm

I wish buying a house was that easy- at least for me in sunny California about all I can afford to buy is a house the size of a bathroom :)

That is OUTRAGEOUS! Trader joes has a good price on babybel cheeses! Under 4 bucks a net.

Do you live by a trader joes!!? Bananas are 19cents each, comes out to about 34-38 cents a pound depending on the size of the banana!

Yay! I know this sounds silly, but I'm thrilled someone else has tried this amazing smoothie!!! I add chia seeds and unsweetened almond milk, and if I'm feeling festive I'll add some frozen or fresh spinach!

Do you like cottage cheese? Trim healthy mama has a great protein packed smoothie made with cottage cheese, frozen berrys( which only have 5 grams of sugar per serving)

Thanks lady!

Thanks! Good to know.

I pop on everyday, a few times a day. It's been encouraging, informative and kinda fun! I look forward to sharing successes, stories, festive recipes and possibly even set backs!

I know right!

Yep, obese vampire... You've found me out ! Lol that's actually pretty funny I better fix that! Ha

Sweet! Thanks!

I'm on day 5! I've also linked this app with another free app called pacer! It's great tracks all my movement and calories burned. Give it a try :)

Northern California , about 53 miles north of San Francisco

Same problem here! I'm only eating about 700-800 calories a day- I'm going to start adding more protein, I surely don't want to add more carbs!

I totally understand, I'm still finding my way around this app, 5days later lol. Today is the first day I've posted anything, and I'm pretty sure I've been posting my questions in all the wrong forums... Which apparently is a no no. Lol . It gets easier to log your meals and snacks cause it will have a list of the things…

Welcome! I'm pretty new also, I started 5 days ago. That's pretty awesome you have a gym membership! I know it's hard to get the motivation to get in the car and go! I had a gym membership for an entire year , went twice and never went again... And it was right across the street from my house..... Those two trips to the…
