Maybe you're in a slump? Talk to a friend, or your doctor if it last more than a couple weeks. If it's just hormonal/low energy, get your blood checked for possible nutritional deficiencies (low iron comes to mind first) and in the meantime try a little ACV in your water throughout the day and some fresh air. Hope you feel…

Wait, wait, wait, wait... so 5'5 is considered short?? Lol. I have my 6'3 husband convinced that I'm the perfect height. I believe it, too.

Nice of you to notice/care. Let's buy him a big fruit or Whole Foods basket with an anonymous note, or maybe just the quote from Socrates: "make food thy medicine.." or something similar. Perhaps showing anonymous concern for his eating habits may help him take notice (if he's somehow unaware he's so unhealthy) or care a…

You got this! You CAN do this if you want to.

I won't attempt to define junk food for anyone else but I ate a lot chips, white bread, hormone-heavy milk, sugar-filled juices, and those fake cupcakes - with the white "stuff" in the middle, as a kid. I have no doubt that my health (and happiness) suffered as a result. I cringe just thinking about it. I'm strongly…

200 calories in this sample dinner/lunch entree. They are all around 200 calories as I stated above.

Did I mention the small portions? Lol. Here's a comparison to a lemon and a dollar bill to give you an idea.. and keep in mind the breakfast dishes are about half this size and half the calories...

So since I ordered the "south beach.com" diet before I checked MFP and it was too late to cancel, here's a couple things worth noting (incase anyone checks this thread in the future and is curious because their website doesn't give much info at all) from my order that arrived today: 1) you can only order a month at a time…
-
Oh no! Is this for the south beach diet delivery service I keep seeing online? I ordered it to give it a try. It's chemical filled crap? Yikes! Guess I shouldn't be surprised. Ugh....

Me too! I've got 5 months until my brother's wedding too, which adds more pressure. Let's do this!
-
Add me too! I'd love to help support some other new moms and I need some kicks in the butt to keep me going, too. I put on 53 ilbs (uops) and have my brother's wedding in exactly 6 months... I'm a bridesmaid and the dresses are long, form fitting AND a blush color. They will show everything! Help!! I'm determined to lose…

Well.. It works for me. ;) To each their own. I try to cut out sugar and get to enjoy fats. My cholesterol, bp and sugar numbers are perfect. Hope whatever you're doing works for you, too.
-
Congratulations!! That's amazing and you look so happy, too!

Sugar (carbs) always seem to make me fat and give me more sugar cravings. It's an ongoing struggle. I'm a sugar addict! Then I read how sugar breaks down cell walls and collagen and causes early aging/wrinkles and ever since my vanity has been doing a better job controlling the cravings then my healthy-willpower. Lol.…

Hmm.. Looks like I'm off on my calorie goals. Thanks for the comments! I'll work on it. Serfasc, I'm a little over 5'4 and I work out, too. Enter, I like your meal plan much more! I'm going to add peanut butter to my shopping list.
-
Welcome to MFP and congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
-
Everyone I know who has done it, loves/loved it. The only negative is becoming one of those "crossfit obsessed people". Lol. I vote to give it a try.

I'm trying to follow the guidelines in this book that was recommended to me: "Better Baby Book.. How to have a healthier, happier, smarter baby" and it includes diet and supplement recommendations. It's a lot of protein and healthy fats and very low sugar if any at all. Typical day.. I'm having egg omelets with veggies in…
-
I've been in denial! I kept seeing photos of myself posted on Facebook and thinking "Yikes! That's me?? I look so fat!" I'd write it off as a bad picture or bad outfit, bad week.. but after a couple years those are becoming the only pictures of me around. Final straw was when I was organizing my closet and realized most of…

Lol! I didn't know he sold juicers? Then you're probably right

I'm not a fasting or "detoxing" follower but to each their own. I'd try a vegetable juice cleanse for a couple days if it was organic and made fresh but I just love food too much. :) I used to think all fasting was nonsense but the documentary "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead" changed my mind. My friend made me watch it as she…

If you try it, check out sugar free Sheila's site.. sugarfreesheila.com She's been low carbing for over 10 years. I tried it and got to my goal but couldn't stick with it. Good luck whatever you decide!

- Flavored vinegars... I sprinkle them on salads and don't even miss the oil. - Coconut milk.. Unsweetened vanilla (only 45 calories a serving!) and a "green" protein powder mix like Katie's gluten free greens - half an avacado for a snack... ~115 calories and kills my hunger
-
Absolutely! Start now ;) maybe check out some YouTube clips or buy a couple intro to strength/weight training videos to make sure you have the right form. Go for it and you're going to love the results!

I was in the best shape of my life and my energy and overall mood were absolutely AMAZiNG when I was a vegan on and off for a couple years (I slept better too) but after moving back to the Midwest it was hard to keep up. I'm back to eating everything again. Check out the movie "Fat, sick and nearly dead" if you want to try…
-
This is a great discussion! Thank you for starting it. We just found out I'm pregnant so I'm back on MFP for the first time in years hoping to gather as much info as possible to help me through it. My doc says to load up on avacados, eggs, tons of water, protein and fats. I'm still figuring out how many calories I'll shoot…

Would love new friends to help keep me motivated. Good luck to everyone starting MFP! :)
