Yep...I'm struggling not to eat more than my daily calorie allowance. I'm drinking more hot water or tea, which helps a little bit...

Just bought the link version on costco.com. It's on sale with 12 months free subscription. :smile:

You look fantastic!!!

Call the doctor and tell him it didn't work, ask for additional directions or guidance, and a payment plan. Additionally, if the doctor doesn't offer much help, ask the doctor for a referral to a specialist. Spend the money to help your fiance before this problem gets worse and a lot more expensive... Maybe he is allergic…

I like this...I'm going to get the body bugg in April...can't wait! Your reward choice sounds perfect to me :-)

Thank you for these tips :-)

She rocks. I use the 5 mile dvd. It's perfect for me because I can roll out of be and begin exercising. I add weights along with it, and I wear a HRM. I'll often play it twice and do 10 miles or backtrack a couple miles to redo them and extend my work out session. I've been doing it for about 6 months now and I'm…

Try this: figure out what is easiest to change. Maybe it's going to light dressing and guaranteeing yourself a healthy breakfast every morning (like hearty oatmeal or something else that is super healthy). Also, try starting with 15 minutes of exercise every other day. My husband starts every day with oatmeal. It's his…

You look GREAT!!!

Welcome Back! You can do this...I'm so excited for you!!! It's going to be a great & successful year for us :happy: Best, Marriedmama

Hi Makayla, When I cook, I use my biggest pots, and I cook for the whole family. For example, here are some of the things I purchase at Costco: dry organic pasta, prego red sauce, alfredo sauce, kirkland bacon bits, shredded cheese, 25lb of blue ribbon rice, chicken tenders, and chicken nuggets. Also, I'll buy their…

Hi ~ Welcome! I often eat less than my target calories, but I always try to eat 1200 net calories a day so that I don't go in to starvation mode.

What you wrote is real talk. I am very sorry for the loss of your mom, dad, and then your cat. Budget issues can really magnify coping with tragedies. When moments get really challenging for me, I like to focus on what part of my life I can make better: one's health is definitely something that people can strive to make…

The main problem is your nurse's attitude. You should talk with your doctor about that nurse. I wonder how many other people she treats like that. You'll get back on track, and where you want to be in no time at all. :flowerforyou:

Hi! Just an extra idea for you: consider trying Leslie Sansone 5 mile walk/jog video. It's a great work out, cheap, and doesn't take up any extra floor space. I've been doing it for awhile now, and I have amped it up by adding weights in to the routine. It's been a great calorie burn for me: approx. 700 calories (when…

Hi Busy Mom, I totally understand. I solved it by using Leslie Sansone power walk-jog videos. I use the 5 mile walk/jog (12 minute miles) for 1 hour, and sometimes I'll double it for 10 miles. I added weights for toning. I love it because I don't have to drive anywhere, or leave the house. It doesn't matter what I wear or…

Oh my gosh, I'll be cheering you on. Best wishes with your goals too. You can do it :happy:

Awesome Niki! I think you are going to reach milestones. Best wishes to you and your family.

Hi, Maybe you are burning more calories from excercise than you are logging in your mfp diary. When I go long distance walk/jogs, I definitely get more hungry, and sometimes even have a ferocious appetite. More water will help too. Best wishes, Marriedmama:smile:

Hi! Welcome! I totally get what you are saying. This is one of my favorite sites. Please feel free to message me anytime :smile:

Hi :-) I know how you feel. I blew my knee out going off a ski jump a few years ago, and they reattached it with titanium. Sometimes it acts up when I excercise a lot too. My suggestion would be to follow your doctor's guidance very closely so that you don't damage it more, and perhaps consider eating foods that are super…

That's AWESOME!!! I can't wait to get there too :happy:

Hi Azadi, I've had a few challenges in mid-June & this July 4th weekend. I took my family to Disneyland in June, and all the restaurants really made it difficult to stay within my calorie allowances. I thought I was sort of careful, but when I started logging all the calories in my fitness pal, it was clear I was way over…

I buy certain foods for when I get in that snacky mood. A long time ago, my nutritionist told me that I could eat these foods at night when I wanted to snack: lowest fat, no butter - natural popcorn, watermelon, green leafy vegetables, & lots of water. Best Wishes, Christina
