Thank you! I will definitely check out all three.

I would just try mixing things up a bit. Maybe search Pinterest for a new recipe that looks fairly healthy - it may excite you to cook and taste something new. If you are like me, you may tend to get in a rut and eat the same foods over and over because you know they fit your macros, and eventually you just get sick of…

I love to make ziploc baggies of mixed fruit - my fave is strawberries (5 oz) with red grapes (3 oz). Pretty filling! If you're willing to go over 100 calories, I also am really digging the sargento 'balanced breaks' trays lately. They usually have a cheese, and then a nut/dried fruit mixture. It's portion control at its…

If you like mushrooms, try roasted portabella caps. I slice and season them, and roast them in the oven. Pretty low calorie and they are very hearty and filling.

First I must say, great work on the weight loss... very inspiring! But what honestly stood out to me even more than your huge loss is how your smile changed in each progress pic... you look SO happy in your last photos, and that's exactly how I hope I feel at the end of this as well.

We're not close to planting season yet (located in Wisconsin) but I am SOO looking forward it! We will be planting tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, bell peppers and jalapeno peppers (these are my fave).

Welcome! In my short experience so far, I've learned that (at least for myself), the MOST important thing I can do is prep food in advance. If I don't have LC options I can grab FAST while I'm flying out the door, I'm bound to mess up. Sounds like you're off to a great start! I've also been really motivated using Instagram…

Add me! :smiley:

Everyone, feel free to add me as well! Looking to lose 50LBS to start with.

I'm new to low-carbing and definitely looking for more friends! I, too, like to look at diaries for meal inspiration.... which is hard when your non-LC friends eat 200 grams of carbs/day. Please add me!

Thank you everyone for your suggestions! I really do appreciate it.

If the pill is making you sick, you may want to look into the copper IUD, Paragard. I got mine in October of last year. It doesn't use any hormones, which might be what is irritating you about the BC pill and can also be the cause of weight gain. Of course you should ultimately speak to your doctor, I don't have any…

Please feel free to add me! I'm 5'2 and weigh a little over 200lbs, so I don't have quite 100lbs to lose but still a pretty serious amount. I also would classify myself as a food addict. Hoping to break that and have a more healthy relationship with food. I love having MFP buddies to help motivate and encourage me!

Everyone feel free to add me! I am not new to MFP, but newly committed! I love having an active dash board here and hope to provide motivation and encouragement for all of my friends. PLUS, my diary is open!

Hi ! I have added quite a few people from this board, but to anyone reading: Please feel free to add me! You can never have enough support from fellow MFP'ers. And I get a lot of good meal/food ideas from y'all! Lets do this thing !

Adding everyone here!! Awesome motivation!

I need to lose 60-75 but I'm only 5'2 so I'm guessing our goals are pretty similar! Sending an add :)

I love Pirate's Booty. They are crunchy, salty, cheesy puffs (white... not orange like cheetohs). I get a big box of individual size bags at Costso ($5 for 36 bags) and each bag is only 60 calories! Yum. I'm eating them right now LOL

Chop and freeze 4 cups of berries, then throw them in the food processor with 1 container of greek yogurt, the juice of half a lemon, and honey if you like it. Ta da.... strawberry sorbet... better than ice cream!

I haven't tried rainbow, but Steelhead trout is my new absolute fave. We get about a 1lb filet, brush it with 2TB melted butter + dill + salt, then squeeze half a lemon over the entire thing. We sometimes grill it, more often we just stick it under the broiler. Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good, I could eat it…

I think it's really a shame that most of the responses to her topic have been condescending, some downright rude, and overall NOT HELPFUL AT ALL. She originally posted the topic just as a way to vent about not enjoying going out to eat as much as she previously had. Aren't we all at that point? Wasn't it nice to just go to…

Danon light n fit greek yogurts have a very reasonable amount of sugar (7g in vanilla) with a variety of amazing flavors - probably less sugar than you're getting from PB or honey. Just a thought!

Lol this thread is making me feel sort of bad because I only wash my hair 2-3x per WEEK. I have super long, super thick hair and used to wash sometimes twice daily because I had really greasy tendencies. Surprisingly, if you STOP washing your hair all the time, the grease problems will go away. It also saves your hair so…

I've seen them at GNC & Vitamin World

I'm also looking for friends nearer to my age group - I'm 24. Hope it's okay that I add all of you here, feel free to do the same lurkers!

Bump!

Healthy Soft-Serve Ice Cream!! Banana PB2 Milk Blender -or- Food Processor 1. Peel, slice and freeze your banana 2. Once frozen, add to blender or processor 3. Sprinkle in PB2 to taste (regular or chocolate works great) 4. Add a tiny bit at a time - milk, almond milk, whatever you have on hand. Yogurt might work too. 5.…

dcshellz - thank you for the advice! You're right, I associate most vegetables with how they were made for me when I was a kid. I have been experimenting lately, hopefully I can start to find my groove soon. I think a big part of it for me is texture, rather than taste. Broccoli feels like brains in my mouth (blech). Just…

I will, Claire! I am also doing a little research on the FitBit today. Your kiddos are adorable!
