I don't pay for a gym. The distributors offer a free fitness club to all of the Herbalife customers, so at the minimum of buying one shake a month its similar to a gym membership, i used to pay $60 a month at another place to workout. Not trying to overtake this thread or ignore the op in any way! Just speaking from my own…

Full price can of shake about $48 for 30 (+ or -) shakes. I know its expensive. That's the shake only, not to mention the full program including vitamins and other drinks, I'm not sure the whole program costs. I like the taste of them and I enjoy the workouts that my distributors offer, its not at a gym its more like a…

I know people on mfp generally do not like Herbalife. The way i see it, many people use some sort of multivitamin, protein bars, meal shakes, or other supplements. Personally I think slim fast shakes are worse than Herbalife. But if that's what it takes for me (or you or them) to cut calories then why is that a bad thing?…

Great stuff, I'm sure you will reach your goals.

Also, instead of watching TV and eating the whole time, I have gotten some of those coloring books and I do that.

Log it and move on. Tomorrow is a new day. If you feel really bad about it like you can't just move on, then go outside for a minute, go for a walk or even just go out and look at the moon or something.

This is great, congratulations! This actually brought a tear to my eye, how many times has this journey seemed hopeless and pointless, and how many times I've also wanted to give up. I've been too afraid to go to a Dr. Or even take a "before" photo, two things that you have done even when feeling at your lowest. I'm…

I don't know what the best is, but stay away from slim fast! After buying their so called protein shake, I realized it was 10g protein when made with milk! Only 2g without milk. I make my shakes with water and ice. I could add milk to a bag of sand and call that a protein shake! Also its high in sugar.

I'm just starting to notice that many beers are finally starting to put nutrition info on the can! So I've been looking into lower calorie and carb beer with still a 4 or 5 % alcohol content. One I just bought and I'm going to try tonight is Sleemans Lift. Made with coconut water, 150 calories for a tall can, 13 carb. 4% .…

Depression for me can last a day or a year or any amount of weeks in between. Each bout seems to be worse than the last, and I sometimes think that it will kill me in the end. When in such a state of mind, while everything is difficult, I do have to still keep going to work. Sure I can call in one personal day like once a…

Cottage cheese and fruit. Basically I guess get some protein and fiber.

I was off mfp for months, but I did keep going to my fitness class all year. I'm only down about 6 lbs from a year ago, but the other day at work a guy asked if I've lost weight and that my butt looks smaller!

The other night I was craving ice cream, I made a vanilla shake with a bit of cream and maple syrup and ice and water. Did the trick.

I'm 5.7 and 230 lbs and I eat 2400 a day and lose weight. If I just want to stay the same weight I could eat 2900 calories a day. If I exercise for an hour and burn 500 then I'm allowed to eat the 2900 a day and still lose. Does that make sense? You are a guy same height as me and a few lbs more so there's no way that 1920…

Great job! Yes it is noticeable. Can I ask what some of the diabetic symptoms are? I haven't been to a dr in years and I'm scared. For a year or so my pee smelled funny... I've been drinking lots of water and it doesn't smell anymore... But I'm tired a lot, no energy, could be not enough sleep but I don't know. Also low…

Sounds interesting, I'm curious, do you just add your miles to a map and do a virtual trip? Are you actually travelling this trip?

Go to bed with hubby... then lick Flavoured lube?

We call it the booty blaster... It's a plank position or downward dog and doing leg lifts.

I think of the exercise like work... As in, you HAVE to go to work 5 days a week for the next 40 years right? So, you HAVE to do some exercise every week. No excuses. Even if you don't want to or don't feel like it, just go. After a few weeks, very slowly, things will change. Keep doing it. Forever. The time will pass…

Yes I've had that happen, both the hands feeling swollen and the itchy legs. Doesn't happen when I go to fitclass, just when brisk walking/ jogging! Weird.

It sounds like you are getting enough exercise. If you're thinking of skipping the gym- think of it like work. As in, you HAVE to go to work 5 days a week, right? You can only miss work for a very good reason! And Just keep plugging away with the calorie counting.

For me I have to restrict what I actually bring into the house. I'll eat a whole big bag of chips. So I had to just stop buying chips. Now instead if buying and eating about 3 or 4 bags of chips a week ill have maybe 2 a month. Still eat them all but way less often.

Recently I'm finding that Mfp is reducing the calorie burn for the exact same exercise I do each week. Why is it less calories burned than it was 2 weeks ago? Exact same input.

Yes the yoyo thing, each new high weight was progressively higher. The clothes, the jeans being too tight, switching to wearing just leggings (and thinking that looked good- until I saw...) the PHOTOS! Ack! Being depressed and not caring about myself, but feeling bad for my boyfriend having to deal with me like that. And…

Shakes or smoothies. Protein powder, Ice, water, and a banana or berries. Although i dont like using blueberries in mine, they always seem to remain chunky with the skins all clumping up at the top. You can add peanut butter or milk or yogurt as well. It's usually under 250 calories and it gets something into your stomach.…

The worst things about getting fit and healthy? Ok definitely portion control. Still feeling hungry after eating. Even being hungry after going way over my limits some days. And also how slow it takes to get results. But those tiny results are keeping me motivated! And I have a lot to look forward to as I make progress.

It's the natural curve of the back. I have a small curve like that. But I'm quite chubby and with my butt and back flab I've actually gotten my back suctioned to the bottom of the bathtub :/

I was fat and out of shape my entire adult life. I never did any kind of sports or exercise. I lived right next to a karate school and my then bf kept bugging me to go. Well I took the free lesson then I signed up. I took karate for 2.5 years! I lost 34 lbs and I have my green belt. My worst mistake was "taking a break"…

I caught someone doing this. I said very loudly and flailing my arms "what are you doing? There's a bin RIGHT there!" They got all embarrassed and picked up thier trash and threw it out! Also what irritates me, picking up my dogs poop then carrying it for twenty minutes because the city doesn't have a bin in sight on my…
