Suggestion 1: Can you handle Plain Greek Yogurt? I admit I didn't like it at first, but got used to it and now I hate flavored yogurts. I generally eat Fage 2%. I think it just tastes better than the 0%, although I prefer the Total version if I have the fat grams to spare. One thing I do is make a chicken salad with Greek…

Humans have been eating grains for a long time, but they're not the same grains that we're eating today. A great place to buy a grain that less people are sensitive to: http://www.sunriseflourmill.com/turkey-red-a-heritage-wheat/

This post made me feel so much better!! I used BFM for about 3 months and got fed up when I was following the Calories in and out religiously, and I was supposed to lose 2 lbs per week and didn't lose a darn thing! I will play around with the 12-15% overestimate that most people were saying the BFM was off by. We'll see…

The problem is there is so much added Sugar in everything we eat. Too much sugar actually causes a fatty liver which can lead to cirrhosis of the liver just as alcohol does.

Eff 'em. First of all I'd like to see them with 100 lb weighted vests doing what you're doing. THink about that...isn't it amazing what you are doing?! Your body is working for you! That's an amazing thing in itself. Put it in perspective. You are making HEALTHY choices and that's what is important. And good for you for…

WOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW! This is a great transformation!:smile: :smile:

Thank you. I appreciate it

You must sync the apps. Once they're synched it should automatically update into your Activity mgr. Do you have the LINK?

It's so super easy. Linking to MFP is very easy. The directions are so user-friendly. It does take about a week to get used to the band. It does get kind of annoying at times. But beauty is worth the pain ;) I'm LOVING it. You find that you are so aware of your activity that you find yourself doing extra just to exceed…

I love weight loss buddies! Add me. I love to encourage and love encouragement. It does help!

I guess I'm not a brand new mommy- my son is 9.5 months old. I just stopped pumping recently. But I found that when I was newly b-feeding everyone told me around 500 calories. But, after digging quite a bit, I found that was on the high end. I know on WW, which I'm not currently doing, they gave me 11 extra points for…

You can add me!! I've also had issues with binge eating my entire life. It's a constant struggle and I've even gone to therapy for my binge eating. A lot of others are in our boat. I'm looking to lose about 40 lbs as well to be healthy.

Thanks everyone for your advice! I bought an inexpensive jogging stroller and started to jog a little bit here and there. My little guy is in daycare almost until they close. My husband and I carpool to work which makes it a little more difficult. BUT- I did find a hidden free (VERY SMALL) gym in my work bldg. I'm going to…

I agree with the natural foods approach. It makes a lot of sense, afterall you are what you eat. Our bodies aren't made to process man-made chemicals efficiently. Therefore, we end up backed up, unable to process the real food that we do eat, and we feel sluggish because our organs are inundated with crud. I don't know…

I know how you feel. I lost 25 lbs over the course of a year and I'm sitting at a plateau as well with about 20 to go. It is extremely frustrating, but keep goin! It's worth it. A personal trainer told me to switch up my routine (diet & exercise), lift weights at least three times per week, and really watch my protein…

I tried using MFP on my HTC Hero and I can log in successfully, but I can't change the servings of any foods and I cannot add the food to my diary. Any suggestions? I too cannot wait for a MFP app!

I agree- if you're settings report Lightly active you are already accounting for those calories. : )
