Thanks ladies! those are all really good tips and im so glad im not all alone in my struggle. i like the idea that we burn more calories, im going with that hahaha!

Quick increases in fiber intake definately cause bloat. Your body has to adjust. Id try cutting back and drinking more water.

Preach on sista! I couldnt agree more! Im especially getting irritated with all of the forum posts that objectify women and spread the mentality that women should all have bikini model bodies. Is this really what MFP is for??? I think not. btw congrats on your success so far!!

Its true, he is very supportive and encouraging! You should definately add him! :-)

Im 28 and I get 1200 calories. I dont really consider it eating back my calories, but if I have gone over by like 50 calories I will work out extra time to get rid of that.

I like to flavor ground turkey with worcesteshire sauce or put bbq sauce on top of turkey burgers. I also bake chicken breasts, let cool then shred and cook with taco seasoning (reduced sodium seasoning). Its very good warm for a taco dinner or cold on top of lettuce with salsa for a healthy taco salad. Thats one you could…

So ture!!! thank god for victorias secret :wink:

:laugh: too funny! my husband says the same thing!!

I like my fashion sense, my hair, my face and make-up skills, and having a curvy frame. I cant wait until these rolls shrink back into curves! Personality wise I think I have a great sense of humor, im outgoing, and can be friends with anybody.

I also am a night shift RN. I work 12 hour shifts (7pm-7am) 3 times a week, and commute an hour to get there. What I have done is changed my settings on here. Instead of Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner/Snacks I have it broken up by times. I eat "breakfast" right before i head to work so my first meal is around 5:30pm, I eat a snack…

I too have really long hair, though im a brunette...but what brand would you reccommend? How much to do you have to use on your hair?

Great post!! I couldnt agree more! If the clothes dont fit properly it doesnt matter what size you are. Ive also experienced (in my many years of yo yo dieting) that i dont gain and lose weight in the same spots in the same way. For example: awhile back at 175lbs I could wear a size 10 jeans, I gained 15lbs. then lost it,…

I agree with the idea that it could have something to do with the types of foods you are eating and when. most carbs tend to digest quickly, they raise your blood sugar quickly which makes your body feel great but then they "leave" quickly causing your body to crash in a sense. so when your blood sugar drops your body…

LOVE THIS!!:heart:

Thanks everybody! Im a little embarassed at how out of shape i am and how uneducated i am about working out. my elliptical has a heart monitor and ive never used it. i always thought it was pointless since the machine "calculated" it for me. i really appreciate the help!!

I agree, i change mine frequently. Im a newlywed so im into my cheesey wedding/honeymoon pics. I guess they say "im in love" awwww!

At my worst times (stressed out to the max) id easily eat a whole bag of chips..washed down with a whole container of dip. Still trying to get the emotional eating under control, but atleast the thought of that now makes me cringe.

I suck at letting other people take control of anything.

Ladies dont get down on yourself! If your men throw a temper tantrum because they dont like the food within your calories who cares?? Let him pout and eat what he wants. Keep your focus on feeling & looking great, you deserve it!

i crave everything, just not at the same time, its really strange cuz my cravings come in spurts. for example if im craving pizza, ill go on a pizza kick & want to eat it like every other day for a couple weeks. then i get tired of it and move on to something else. does anyone else do this?? the problem is that i never…

i can understand that! i had a very strained relationship with my mom for a long time and felt a lot like you. just remember, the best revenge is living well!
