You definitely need a food scale to be accurate. A few ounces could mean the difference of being under or over your calories for the day. Also, limit weighing yourself to once a week, same day, same time (if possible, when you first get up in the morning). That could be your 1lb fluctuation, I know I'm a pound or two…

I am thankful to have a gym onsite at work. I get up at 530am and do a cardio workout when I get to work every morning (M-F). Then 4-5 days a week I go with my husband in the evenings he isn't working and on weekends for an hour weight lifting session.

I do 1200 calories a day, and because of what I eat every day, I tend to find myself UNDER my calorie goal each day, but never left hungry! I do 20-30 mins of cardio most mornings Monday-Friday and 1 hour of weights after work every other night and on weekends. On Jan 2nd I weighed 173 and this morning I weighed 163. It…

Well of course it's not the same thing - or it wouldn't be a low carb/cal substitute ;) Regardless of what its called, the flavors are there and a great chicken recipe with the Cuban sandwich flavors!

For sure! I definitely know my proper Cuban sandwiches...but this is a good substitute!

Oooo great idea for using it as a main course during the super bowl! I will have to do that! :) Happy to share the wealth!

I have a trip to Costa Rica in May with my husband, best friend and her bf.... I ordered 5 new bathing suits and a dress for the trip. They get delivered February 22nd...right now my goal is to lose 7-10 more lbs by the time they get delivered!

Nothing boring about it - black and stronger the better - If i have a sweet tooth at all i'll add a little creamer and a little truvia, but that's pretty rare!

I actually HATE the taste of cauliflower - but we did this for New Years Eve dinner because my husband knew I was trying to lay off the carbs... Boiled it, threw it in a food processor with butter, milk, salt, pepper and sour cream and processed it all together until it was smooth. We made it the way we make mashed…

YUMMMMM! Brussel Sprouts

Just got done getting my hair done and snapped a pic when I got in my car because I thought it looked pretty :)

I actually LOVE pre-workout, but I can only do it for my evening workouts or if I've eaten breakfast before an AM workout...I use Mr. Hyde by ProSupps, it does pack a little punch...they have one that is less stimulating, Dr. Jekyl. I've used both, but personally I like the stimulants in Mr. Hyde. You can read the…

I got this! Lmao! :p

Well, because of this post I did just take a look! :D :D

Volbeat never fails me! <3

Morris here (about an hour 14 south west of Chicago)...looking to lose 20lbs. Also starting over after many attempts!

FROM West Palm Beach, Florida....moved to Morris, IL in April!

I'm 5'9 and I have to say this is the first time in my entire life I'm the shortest person in the group (even when surrounded by men!) - power to the tall people :wink:

I added you! :smiley:

This. Is. HILARIOUS! I was literally making fun of my cousin yesterday because she's telling me her child is a picky eater....I told her he gets it from his mama....her McDonald's order as a kid was a burger with nothing on it but extra pickles... lmfao.

Haha! If you don't yet, wait until you get into weighing your food and instead of eyeballing 2tbsp of peanut butter or salad dressing.... extremely depressing!!

I just have a gym membership. Thankfully, I work for a company that has a gym on site also. This week, I just started in the mornings when I get to work, I'll do a 20-30 minute cardio workout and in the afternoon after work, every other day, I lift weights with my husband. I've always been big into the gym, but like…

Same here - I actually do quite well during the week while at work, NORMALLY! My problem are the lunches out with people from work to celebrate the holidays that I tend to make bad choices along with the little holiday events (last night - Champagne and Wine tasting with my aunt) turned more into a night of drinking. While…

My puppy's first experience with a little snow fall this season! He wasn't sure what to make of it....

Congrats to you and your boyfriend! It's a lot easier to workout and diet with someone. My husband and I always work out together and are great in the gym together...however, I gain weight extremely easy and constantly have to watch what I eat, he on the other hand needs to eat A LOT to put weight on, so the only thing he…

Hi everyone! So i'm on my 5th day of my "back to me" diet and using mfp. I've been up and down for a few years now and this year has just been a lot of UP...so it's time to get back to where i feel best and most comfortable! Part of that is taking control of my bad habits and realizing the patterns that sink me into the…

Hey all, I'm 5'9 currently at 171lbs. Looking to get down to 155 and gain muscle in the process. Just started today. I was at my fittest and best weight three years ago at 142 and life just got in the way for me to keep that up. Good luck to you all :smiley:
