Yay new friends! I've added all of you as well! <3 <3

I've added both of you! ♥

If you're really uncomfortable with your waist dimensions, you could always try waist trainers. But I'd recommend against it. Just get your Dr involved if you do end up trying it. Here's a basic source about it.

Any kind of veggie wrap :) throw down a tortilla, put hummus/peanut butter on it, throw in sliced veggies (cucumbers, peppers, etc are always good) and roll 'er up.

If you have any self control, just grab a bag of dove/hersheys pieces from the store :) they're a great treat every now and then!

I lost 70 lbs over 2-3 years by eating the same old normal foods in moderation (aka calorie counting, but without really changing my diet) and exercising more. It worked and I enjoyed it. About two years ago I became depressed, and turned to comfort foods to keep functioning in work & uni; up 90 lbs (20 above starting),…

I could use a handful more friends right now too!

Yes please!

I'm always up for new MFPals! (✿ ◕‿◕)

There's a decent chance that your BC is one of the culprits here. I'm a fellow Nexplanon user; I've had it in since Dec 2014 and have since gained 45-50 lbs. I've also had a myriad of other problems with my period & PMS that are causing me to have it removed halfway through its lifetime. Not to scare you - I'm just sharing…

Great NSV! =) I can't wait until I'm able to do that myself

I'm on my second journey myself - lost 70, gained 80, and now I'm back down 10. I'd love more fitness pals!

Me too! :( It sucks to know that I worked so hard to drop it and then gained it all (and some more) back! I'm open to FRs!

Came here to say this.

I try to avoid foods that don't fit in my plan unless it's "rare and appropriate," like if I'm seeing a friend I haven't in ages or there's another major event going on. The thought process is that "You know what? I can have this literally any time. It's not a big deal to go to the store for it later. I don't need this…

If you use a heartrate monitor to measure the calorie burn of your exercise, I'd suggest eating back all of it. If you find out what your calorie burn is from MFP or an exercise machine, I'd eat back about half of it (it's normally inaccurate, leaning towards being larger). I myself use my Fitbit (Charge HR) and eat at a…

I switched from whole wheat tortillas to spinach & whole wheat tortillas (ole brand, at Walmart). The difference is almost 100 calories, plus EXTRA fiber!! :D

Today my goal is to be a good girl and eat at a 1,000 calorie deficit like I'm supposed to be doing... Unlike what I was doing this past weekend :D :p

Congratulations on yours and your family's weight loss! I'd love to be friends to help support you on that path. PS: Please fix your run-on sentences. They make your post difficult to read :(

Welcome! This is might be a long journey for you. The best advice I have is that when you "screw up" (and you will: go over on calories, skip workouts, etc.)... don't stress it. Brush it off. There will always be a tomorrow :)

I just cleaned out my friendslist of inactive people... Help me build back up! :)

How much of it are you using? I only put a tablespoon (about 10g) in a giant shake and it doesn't do anything for texture or taste. Is your flaxseed fresh? If the problem is definitely flaxseed, you can switch it out for Chia or other alternatives.

Hi hi!

Beachbody's workout DVDs (P90X, Turbofire, Insanity, etc.) are consistently awesome, but cost a pretty penny. Jillian Michaels DVDs are also pretty tough and much more affordable (plus are normally available at Walmart/Target). If your local library is the kind to carry DVDs, I'd go see what kind of selection they have! A…
