  • Sweets have always been my problem area as wel. I also managed to stay away from sweets for a month, but then a couple of days ago I gave in and had ice cream. I love all chocolate of any kind. I discovered protein shakes in multiple flavors, but chocolate is my favorite by far. I drink one called Premier Protein. It has…
  • I just began changing my lifestyle 2 weeks ago. I would love to have others for support, motivation, recipe and diet ideas, etc... I keep my diary all open so that it helps to keep me accountable. Feel free to add me. I'm all in for this journey.

  • Like you, I played with MFP for a bit, but didn't truly make a commitment until 2 weeks ago. The fact that you are already doing 5000 steps a day is wonderful! I have fibromyalgia and struggle with pain on some days, but am determined to make a healthy life change. Let's do this together!!

  • I am going with the doing 'something' is better than doing nothing attitude. I am loving the exercise, and already see an improvement in what I can do just 2 weeks in. I also like having the gym and pool to myself.

In fact, they've been requesting it every week. Here's a link... http://www.gimmesomeoven.com/blueberry-chicken-chopped-salad-recipe/
  • I've been making lettuce wraps in the mornings stuffed with eggs, turkey bacon, a sprinkling of cheese, and sometimes I add salsa. To make the mornings easier, I cook my bacon on the weekends and store it in the fridge. I also bake my eggs for the week by putting a dozen in greased muffin tins, adding salt and pepper, and…
  • My husband used to drink an entire 12 pack case or more a day, and I would drink about 3-4 cans a day. About 2 months ago we decided to change our lifestyle in order to improve health and well being. We just stopped drinking pop cold turkey, and replaced it with ice water. My husband had headaches the first week, but no…
  • My friend had this same situation. She cut calories, and wasn't hungry, but didn't get the results she was hoping to achieve.
