I believe what you say about Coke Zero. I never had a weight problem until I started drinking diet sodas. I believe Diet Coke made me hungrier, switched to Coke Zero and it doesn't seem to be the same. I just have to get to where I don't "need" it and drink every now and then. Trying oats next week and avocados, thanks for…

You went from not to hot, not hitting on you, just stating the facts. If there was ever a great example of what exercise will do for the body...you are it! Congrats

I just got back on the wagon and I've lost 5.7 lbs in 4 days of eating the following: breakfast 2 whole eggs 2 egg white omelet with mushrooms and bell pepper 1 tbsp of butter, lunch kale salad from Sams Club (half the bag) 1/2 c of cottage cheese, dinner varies but higher protein and veggies, snacks are berries beef…

@StephannieL‌ I too went on a spring break no diet. Didn't log one single food because ignorance is bliss...until you get on the scale. Then I wanted to kick myself. I hit it hard yesterday, low calorie and walked twice. My back and knees are screaming today, but I lost 2 of the 5lbs I gained at my food party. I thought…

I grew up eating these, but onion added to beef mixture. I totally forgot about them as a healthy low calorie dish. So thank you for posting

@shorerider‌ I can't even find the "tools" on MFP? I only use my iPhone, does this matter? Please help me find it. This topic is so educational

Not sure if this is relevant to you but I have noticed that the more expensive the clothing, the larger or more generous they are with the size. A size 16 at say walmart can be a 14 at Dillard's

I had a bad day yesterday so I know how you feel. This is my plan for today: get up and get moving. I have two sick kids and because I was so busy with taking care of them I skipped lunch. That left me starving for dinner and then late night snack. Today I had a larger breakfast because I'm pretty sure I won't be able to…

@misscrish‌ it's never too late to pursue your dreams! I'm wishing you the best of luck. I have zero talent in the singing department, possibly tone deaf. Congrats on joining my MFP and doing everything you can to drop the weight

@Will_Run_for_Food‌ lol lol lol

I was extremely low in vitamin D and always low in iron. Have to get more blood work since im sure my hysto could have fixed this. It's worth it to have lab done

I'm 5'8" went to a place like weight watchers, can't remember the name. They told me my ideal weight was112lbs. I think they were Nazis

Good morning fun people! I'm determined to make this day count, in a negative way! Exercise is my goal for the day in hopes that the scale will have good news on Sunday! Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing a strange phenomenon? I'm craving...wait for it... Weight for it.... Veggies! I don't even know who I am…

Every single person who posted pics look so amazing, thank you for sharing and inspiring me to stay on course! Best wishes to all

Not sure how to join, but would like to. I'm 43, married, and mother to 2 girls and 2 boys. I'm going to say it like it is...I'm fat. Grossed out and determined to change. I used to be athletic and my fast food diet caught up to me when I had my ACL repaired after a softball fail. From there, I steadily gained weight and…

What is a paleo pancake? Recipe please!!!

Stir fry veggies

You look so good I want to barf! I would probably show off too if I looked like that

I've had 4 major abdominal surgeries (tumors and hysto)and my belly will never look normal. But when I weighed 150 it looked so much better. It seems that the muscles can never fully recover from being cut so much. I think the pooch is hereditary just like birthing hips on some people. They can get smaller but will always…

I have learned so much in this past month from MCP about not beating yourself up over one cookie. Before this attempt, I would "cheat" feel awful and just say "F it". No more. I eat healthy almost all the time and every now and then have a bite of something I really like that's not so healthy. I'm still losing and that is…

I can't wait to lose my membership to that club

I feel your pain. Boredom? Find something to do anything physical. Put some gum in your mouth and occupy your mind as well. I have discovered I want to eat when I watch TV or I'm bored or stressed.

Not sure if that's worse or better than what my hub said "eat whatever you want, you have been eating so healthy for a whole week. One day won't hurt" I don't need his help wearing down my resolve to lose weight or my willpower to avoid fast food. He meant well, but ugh.

You look so FIT. You would never guess by looking at you now that you ever weighed 270! Thanks for sharing you are an amazing inspiration

Thank you to all! Inspiring pics

I will try it this weekend thank you

Thank you so much

Wow. What is wrong? Why so negative. Asking for the opinion on what "low carb numbers should be" doesn't mean go off on whether or not it works. We are all stating our opinions not facts. I have done low carb before lost 40lbs in 30 days. It was very strict, under 20grams. I couldn't have lost 40lbs of water. But I went…

I just made stuffed peppers with lean ground beef and substituted shredded zucchini and chopped mushrooms for the rice, topped with low sodium canned tomato sauce. It's a really cheap meal, around $10 with 4 servings. You could substitute veggies with quinoa or use brown rice if not concerned about having carbs.

Tomorrow will be 20 days for me and I'm hoping to make it -15 (-13.5 today). I guessed on my starting weight I was actually 10 lbs heavier than I thought so my progress doesn't show it. I can't wait to hit -20! Congrats to you
