Ditch the Low fat/light stuff...they are usually filled with other stuff to make it taste palatable that stall loss... I add chia seeds to yogurt, cottage cheese with raspberries (my fav), and even my coffee in mornings. Adding fat does add calories but our bodies process better and you feel fuller longer on less. It took…

lost 51 a little over year... right now I am up about 8-9 pounds from then. Been doing this since on Aug. 2012 and trying hard to stop the upward swing currently in last couple years. It is a day to day/hour to hour struggle. Hang in there and just keep at it.

When I started this process in 2012 I too had trouble figuring out food... What worked for me was getting a food scale (yea! gift exchange at work during holidays) and digging out the measuring spoons and cups Every time I served myself!. Reading labels and finding what I thought was a serving was in fact sometimes 3+…

2017 was a doozy for many of us... personnally lots of stress, loss and deaths so I KNOW how that feels. I started this journey several years ago and was doing well at keeping within healthy eating and weight but 2017 I completely lost it.... momentum, accountability, and healthy diet fell by the way side and in turn…

The red food dye they stopped making (caused cancer) years and years ago is why the Red Velvet Cakes do not taste good. We used to make from scratch as a child with the old red dye and they were delicious!!!

probably oldest to group and late to the "party" so to speak but here goes: age: 54 height: 5'2" hw: 173 cw: 125.4 gw:115 started with MFP several years ago and did very well for the first several years.

Not that I have found. :'( I have tried several times. Wish they would include that as option as would make a whole lot easier for many of us.

Yes, one a day ... you build on how long (seconds) you hold it each day with scheduled rest days too in the chart. I have a list I printed 2 years ago, but never did so this time I put on side of fridge to remind me ....hahaha!

didn't make the entire time last night but 2/3 of it...should have just kept going with another but .... tonight I'll just do 2-3 times until I work up to the total for today. I applaud all the ones who can hold it for the entire length without having to do 2 or 3 shorter times. But I'll keep at it...slowly but surely I…

Day 10 done....60 seconds. much better than yesterdays. :smiley:

late to the party so to speak...so I did 1-5 days on the 6th to catch up... hehehe! today was a challenge (9th day) not sure if just as it was now 60 seconds or if it also has something to do with the bad fall I took on kitchen tile floor 2 days ago, but I did a total of 60 seconds plus just had to break it up into 3…

Wash & remove stems and toss in with stew/soup fixings for delicious healthy meal! Yummy even the pickiest eat this way in our house. You can always fix like collard greens with a bit of fatback which is how I grew up eating it. Reading several others I am going to have a few more options to try it seems. They all sound…

I can empathize with your soda (coke) addiction as being a TX gal I was drinking 1+ 2-liter of Dr Pepper everyday... when I started trying to lose the extra weight I had packed on over the years Dr. Pepper and alcohol were cut entirely, so I could concentrate my calories each day on healthier foods... don't get me wrong it…

There are no good/bad foods as others have said. For me I had to measure/weigh everything to figure out what a true portion size listed on the ingredients section was actually. It was a shock to find that what I considered a serving was in actuality 2-3 servings. Portion size and charting everything as well as trying to…
