Me too, my plan is to work out my emotions also. I enrolled in online college last year and gain 20 pounds due to my crazy schedule and quarantined with kids. Now with no work this summer, I drive bus. Thankfully I had online classes happening that keep my mind busy from 6/1 until yesterday. Fall classes online don't start…

I am not here to judge I am here for the same reason as you! I started here in 2015 and lost 4o pounds, fell off track loss of father in law then mother in law has added stress in my life and I stopped eating good and started consuming Bud Ritas along with Mikes Harder drink which has helped me gain 40 pounds back that I…

Cool!! That's what I needed I am happy to know I can still make it work!! Thank you so much!!

This man sounds like he wants his cake and eat it too!! I'm sorry for what you are going through! I hope you are able to move on without him he he is trying to emotionally control you. He wants you and her he is selfish and only thinking of himself.. I am not sure how the other woman feels but chances are he is telling her…

Thanks everyone I have enjoyed reading all of the most resent responds to this thread! I came back todays since I have looked at my nails and seen my thumb had split and peeled again. I have started taking Vitafusion mulivites.. I found a Try ME Free coupon on them. I was actually trying to remember the l lysine (sp)…

9g sugar is all there is in just the ovaltine... 120 calories oval tine and skim .......then if I add banana and strawberries its like 230 calories total then 24 g total sugar with skim and all the fruit figured together. I really am seeing results going from maintenance mode to this for a week. I was doing the Greek…

Thank so much for all of this information! I Will be looking in to these and hope to see some improvements :) Take Care!!

I have been working on getting my digestion cycle in order I will start taking my multivitamins. I just don't want it to mess with my going to the bathroom. In the past I related some of my "bm" issues to my multivitamin. ( May or may not have been related but I stopped taking them to get relief.

Luckily I have never suffered from cold cores!! I will check it out and give it some thought! Thanks for the suggestion! :)

Happy Birthday!! I would love to be in too!! Current Weight: 170 Challenge Weight: 165 Let's do this!!

There is only one concern that I am possibly lacking nutrients or minerals my body needs. My thumb nails have been splitting for at least 4 years. It started after the birth of my last child and I have never seemed to get them to stop. Both thumbs do it and it drives me nuts. Un knotting kids shoes and any thing really…

Thank you everyone! I think I purposely let myself get to the point of obesity and stayed there for a while. Not sure why I let my self go.( Maybe a touch bit of depression) It's kind of sad though! But I guess I needed to prove to myself and others around me that weight can come off by hard work and determination. Sure…

That's awesome!! I am happy for you and You and I sound a lot a like! I have been trying to pep talk my self to get back in gear and your post has inspired me!! Thanks Keep up your hard work and be happy when you reach your goal weight!! :)

I'm 5' 9" Current goal is to get into a healthy BMI then keep toning!! I'm doing it!! Start weight my highest was 213 marked obese!! currently 175 My goal is 160's some where in the middle healthy weight and toned! This was taken a few days ago but I am currently 25.99 My coal is to be into the healthy zone and stay…

Yup the scales made all the with me!! We both sound like were in the same boat I started being even more strict with the scale over the last couple of weeks and it is showing on the scales small but steady loss. I have a BMI goal of 25 I want to reach by Dec. 25 I am so close yet so far away!! I hope to get there!! :) 26.1…

This is exactly why I do it! When I first started on MFP I was using cups and then I read a lot and learned that 1 cup of yogurt is not as accurate as weighing it. So I played with it and found it to be extremely true. I started losing weight pretty quick and now I am playing with the recipe builder to make my logging even…

Thank you!! Glad to know I'm on the right track!! I will continue to work at it!

ok so I found a couple of things I needed to change! My onion I put it is as 2500g so that needed to change to 225g I forgot to add a decimal in the selection I choose for that! Thne I shcaned to venison only and found a gram setting for that so MY amout of calores consumed is 226 for 330g It was saying 766 for 330 g…

actually I just noticed the venison in the ingredients says with 10% beef that is not right!! I uses all venison 930 grams! I guess I should try and change that!

Ok it was trick logging the ingredients but I will continue to work at this and hope to get better over time. My total weight of the entire dish was 4425 g I consumed 330 g for my dinner! I am hoping that I geot everything correct I consumed more calories that I thought I am just logging this Sunday morning which I ate it…

Thanks for the suggestion! I am going to still have to practice at this. It's going to take some getting used to for sure. I have pretty much nailed my daily logging for my salads, sandwiches, smoothies and things like that. It's a bit tricky when I am making a main meal and watching and weighing everything I am putting…

Ok so I did a ounces converter to grams and changed my number of servings to 1134... lol I am hoping I am on the right track to fixing this! Made my serving portion of 210 grams to 7.40 ounces, making my meal look like this!

Ok so here I am again stuck this is going to take me some getting used to but I want to eat the same things as my family sometimes and know what I am consuming in calories so this is what I have! So I can tell I have messed something up with the home fries they were 20 ounce bags, I used 2 of them. I weighed what I ate in…

This sounds like an awesome plan for my next recipe I look forward to giving it a try. Thanks so much everyone I appreciate everyone who has taken the time to post to help me figure out my journey. It's not always easy but sure is worth it! :) Have a great day everyone!

Thank you so much for taking the time to break this down for me I REALLY appreciate it!! This will help me at least log for the day I am working very hard to keep track and I haven't felt complete with out adding the sauce.. Sounds silly but it's just my determination and accountability kicking in and a bit of OCD lol!! I…

Ok so given what I have added to the recipe at this point yes I know it was yesterdays meal so I can no longer weigh it but moving forward and learning can I figure what 1/2 cup of these ingredients is in calories I got the elbows already separated trying to log the cheese sauce for my diary I will have to play more with…

Awesome job!! Im In a size 12/14... 5'9 and weigh in now at 176 now! So I l"ll use your success story to motivate me!! Thanks for sharing!! :) Need to get the camera ready so I have some pics to look back on!! :) I have already dropped 30 this year but nothing really other than toning and pulling everything in. hope to see…

Thank you so at this point I have all my ingredients in and now I am hung up on the amount of servings lol!! Or serves blank?? number of people!! I am not sure what to put I only had a half cup of this lol!! Hate to be a pain but want to be sure to learn the right way to do this since this will continue to be a way of life…

I love all the ideas I was just thinking of way to change up my breakfast because I am tired of eating the same boring shredded wheat 1 serving with 1/2 cup of skim milk! I seen some protein powder on a clearance shelf in a local drug store was thinking about getting it next time I go there if someone else has not bought…

The Crane ones or any Heart monitor? I have never owned one and not sure if $14.99 is a good price to consider getting one. Maybe if I wait long enough they will reduce it even lower ;)
