I've been told that cutting carbs is the only way to lose weight and they count for more calories then what they are. My mom lost a lot of weight on a low carb diet but ended up needing her gallbladder removed and she blames the diet. So if I don't eat a carb with a meal she worries I'm low carb. Nope just didn't want the…

I have a 7 year old and a 22 month old.

There was a clearance in the workout clothes at khols (check it out. I went today FYI) and I actually found clothing in my size in the stack because I was just an xl instead of a 2 or 3x. $1.60 for t shirts and $3 for leggings! I got a few outfits.

You could literally workout in a gym 6 hours a day 5 days a week but if you are shoveling Big Macs and milk shakes you can stay fat. CICO is what loses weight. I log my workouts so I understand if I need more calories or if it's just a craving. If I am more that 500 calories below my goal and feel hunger than I might need…

I count my hard exercise. I clean out my turtle tank and that means hauling 55 gallons of water out and 55 gallons in. It takes an hour and I am very sore the next day. Even when I was thin and in shape it was a great work out. I would just look at whether it was a real workout or not before logging it. I always…

My dog is fitter! And it's super mortifying when your partner tells others before you are ready. I've still a long way to go but I started to feel a difference within weeks of starting.

I don't eat meals less than 300 calories. I would be starving. And that's basically eating from the bottom of the fridge meals.

I went to a baseball game with my husband, kids, and his friend and I couldn't keep up. We had to jog to get to the game on time and I felt like I was going to pass out. I lied and told them the city air was killing me but really it was being fat. The next day we went around town and was equally bad. I felt like I had…

8/4: 45 sec 30 at 1 time

I forgot to add time. 8/1: 15 sec.

I'm in. I can't really do a plank right now so I want to do the beginner plank to get to two minutes at once in 30 days.

Start weight: 230lb Goal weight: 160lb Loss so far: 3 lb I've only been on mfp for 2 weeks. I haven't longed in 4 days so hopefully I've lost a little more. I need to buy tape measurer and a scale. I weighed myself at my parents house.

Birth control is another huge weight changer. It's listed in the possible side effects. I got the implanon and gained 50lb in 3 months while trying to lose weight after having my daughter. I had to beg the dr to remove it and I lost the weight in 2 months without starving myself. It was clearly the medicine. My mom takes…

I always try to do a little carb, a little protein, and a little fat. Like a few slices of avocado and a few pecans on whole wheat bread. It's only a few hundred calories and I'm full until a meal. I only snack around 4 pm because I found I'm hungry at that time everyday. If I plan for it I don't eat junk and I have a…

You can add me. I have 67 to lose.

Beautiful before and after. Great results.

Amazing!

Some people think eating clean is no sugar, vegan, and gluten free and everything organic. That's a lot for people used to junk. I personally am not eating clean and I try to cook as much as I can but counting calories has caused me to lose weight.

They say a lot of overweight people take advice of being super low calorie to start loss and end up sick and binging. Our bodies have to slow down or else it says we are starving. Look up what mfp says is safe for 1 to 2 lb loss and go off of that, which will probably be 1700-1900.

I gained .5 lb but my clothes acted like I gained 10. I'm in sweat pants because my lose clothes don't fit right. Uterus(es?) suck.

I'm glad I found this post. I need to take a before picture. :# I will say I've lost 3 lbs this week and my stomach feels flatter but it's because I'm not eating junk causing me to bloat. I'm sure next week won't be as dramatic.

By fats they mean healthy ones like in avocado, olive oil, salmon, and nuts. Not bacon. Lol fats help keep you full longer.

Not really. I've tried smoothies and oatmeal with cooked fruit and I get feel sick. I can have basically plain fruit with other stuff. I'll have to look into savory hot cereal.

I need to lose 67 lbs. I've lost 3 so far but I've just started. I don't actually have anyone in real life to keep me accountable. They all think it's fine. :( I'll love some friends on here. :smile:

I tried to make banana oat breakfast muffins. While I was prepping everything my daughter are one of my bananas to where I didn't have enough. I thought I would substitute some oil. It was so greasy I couldn't get them out of the pan.

It'll be different for everyone. My SIL gains and bloats during ovulation and I do during my period. You can track it for a month or 2 and know when it is. I wouldn't worry too much since we know it's all hormones that will even out. I only gain 2 to 3 lbs but I bloat like 10 so I don't even go off of my clothing and plan…

That's very true. I was working out like crazy and dieting after having my daughter and gained 50 lbs. hormones from the birth control caused me to gain. When I stopped it I lost the weight in 3 months. I know my body doesn't lose on my period so that week I just expect nothing to change and then I'll lose 3 over 1 lb the…

It's 80% diet and 20% exercise. Track your calories or join a points system and keep up. Exercise is important to make sure you are tone but it's mainly saying right.

I would look to see if you have enough vitamins and set your calories to maintain and the workouts will help you firm since you are a healthy weight.
