I've noticed those posts too and I have always wondered what that weight would look like on me. I can understand frame and body fat can play a role, although many of the women would describe their shape as medium or large... I am a little under 5'8 and I an currently 169 lbs. My goal weight is between 155 and 160. Beyond…

Over the years I have become lactose sensitive although I have never liked milk. As a kid I would eat the cereal and leave the milk and didn't care for mayo or American cheese because it reminded me of milk. And even when I use plant based milks, I never drink them straight (unless chocolate, yum) because the color just…

I've tried several brands and not one taste like fresh coconut water and they all have a "thickness" to them. I am so not a fan. I've also noticed the new crazy with maple water and that's horrid too but more tolerable than the coconut water.

Iike truenutrition.com because you can customize your protein and it's pretty cheap. They have many flavors and protein bases.

I like trader joe's brand which is about 60 or so calories. It's only $1.99 and taste pretty good and not sweet at all.

I agree with the pp. I feel like we all feel this way sometimes whether we are on a weightloss journey or not but we have to remind ourselves of our beauty and strength to continue. The reminder of what we once were and where we are and where we want to be is a continuum even when our weightloss goals are conquered. Send a…

I would use the search engine on mfp to get a better understanding about the benefits or lack thereof using a waist trainer for abdominal fat loss. Wearing it while working out would/possibly cause water weight loss. If too tight may cause organ damage and being 3 months postpartum, I would suspect your body is still…

Not sure if this was suggested yet, but how about cashew milk? It's very creamy and only 30-90 calories ( unsweetened to sweetened ) for a cup. It pair well with coffee because it is pretty similar to half and half and not watery. Silk and Almond Breeze brands offer cashew milk. I am not sure if Trader joe's does because I…

No shade but are dealing with any mental issues? You post quite often and they all appear to be starving for attention. Additionally, your posts or statements regarding body image and diet are irrational at best. There are tons of information on this site regarding CICO and sustainable ways to lose weight but you seem hell…

The diet iced tea has a weird aftertaste to me. I prefer trader joe's unsweetened brewed white and green tea.

Right now, it sounds like water weight due to the running twice daily and weight training. I would increase water intake and definitely take advantage of the microwave. You may just have to visit the market (fresh or frozen veggies and protein)daily but at least it will help you control your calorie allotment. Also try and…

I actually like all chocolate with the exception of white chocolate. I love Trader joe's peanut butter cups...they taste much better than Reese(although I am a sucker for those too).

I think it's more preference. I tend to work out on an empty stomach because I usually go to the gym around 5 am and I am not hungry at that time. Also I don't like the full feeling and as previously stated, sometimes I will get acid reflux if I'm working out pretty hard. On the weekends I will eat about 2-3 hours before…

I'm getting pizza Hut tonight...lol My issue are sweets and I run into this issue all the time. I either move on and start new the next day or I get up and move more to get back into the green (I have a Fitbit too). No worries girl, just start new tmrw and just plan ahead in the future.

Omg, when I was a teenager me and my girlfriend did this like 2 am (that was the time they would air the commercial) making these awful sounds!...lol I am so surprised we didn't wake my parents!

Have you searched other discussions/posts on here regarding this product?

I find steel cut and rolled oats(they're thicker) more filling than the instant. Also you can control the sugar and sodium. As other's have mentioned you can make overnight oats with steel cut and rolled oats the night before if you're under time constraints in the morning. Go to pinterest and you will find so many great…

I absolutely love cream of wheat and growing up preferred it over oatmeal(now it's vice versa). I used to love a lot of sugar and butter in mine. Once in awhile I would add cinnamon. I recall going to my cousin's house when I was younger and they would always try to push grits on me instead (they never had cream of wheat…

I usually just lurk on this thread but seeing this I just have to respond. I have to try these out on my next wawa run! Looks so yummy

I think we have a similar build. I am currently 172 lbs and wear a size 10. I think I am a medium build because my fingers touch but I have pretty small and rounded shoulders (pear shaped). My ideal weight would be 155-160 and even at the low 150's I was told quite often I was too thin. I was a size 6 at that weight. When…

I really like my fitbit! My only issue (not including my current syncing issue...give me a break mfp!)is that the charger hr isn't waterproof. I would love to start swimming again and would like at least am estimate on how much I'm burning. Otherwise, the challenges and fitness communities are awesome and inspire you to…

Excellent point!

To friends that I have had numerous discussions on the matter and have even suggested this site and speaking to a nutritionist and YET they continue fall for such hype, I try to change the conversation. Seriously, I get a headache repeating the same information. By all means, I am not an expert( and I make it a point to…

So I see mfp is having issues syncing once again. I sure hope this issue is resolved quickly.

There are enough horror stories on mfp and other sites about heart issues and other nasty side effects...not to mention more than half state gaining all the weight back and plus some (see above comments). I personally would try the CICO method and make sure there aren't any underlying medical issues that are deterring…

Just about...I work out 6 days a week which includes cardio and weights. I usually average about 25k steps daily. OnSaturday is my rest day and I tend to just make my 10k goal or a little over. I personally like working out because it's a stress reliever and it allows me to eat more among other things. Oh and I too, work…
