@ astroub-eat this and not that gives great ideas. We need change for the better. I prefer homemade whole wheat thin crust and make my own pizza. It is really awesome to have something sorta close to homemade. It is good to make your own because you can add new stuff. Do the bell peppers need sautee'd? I have spurged with…

I tried herbalife years ago. I started losing alittle weight, but my stomach wasn't feeling right so I asked for a refund. Then I was given a partial refund. I was relieved to be free from that product!! 5'4" S.W.234-Sept. 5,2011 Prior weight 227.4-Sept.12, 2011 Previous weight 228.9-Sept. 19, 2011 Current weight…

I love it, I am getting an education on fiber now. It is a good thing I asked, then I shall receive. I will be careful to add it slowly, I am at about 12 grams right now. That is a plan to add 5 grams every few wks, sounds alittle complicated. I will just do the best that I can & as long as I am aware I need to make a…

I had the opposite of constipation the first time I added those fiber pills to my diet. I did not know it causes all that, thanks! I will be careful to add it gradually.

:smile: :flowerforyou: Thanks everyone for the help. Now I just need to do it, and looks like I have my tools in hand now thanks all. I realize there is no excuse not to get enough, I'm not paying close attn to that though. Funny thing I have been eating more oatmeal than ever, I like it like McDonalds makes especially…

Hi, glad to have you back. :smile: I got my first horse when I was 17, he was the best gelding ever. I could jump on him and just go bare back anywhere.

I gradually started picking up my exercise routine :smile: G.W. 125

I don't know how to deal with it, except try to include him/her in on the eating healthy & exercising. It sounds like he/she may feel like he/she isn't getting the attention like your diet is, that is what I hear. Like I'm on that pc all the time, how do I expect to lose weight? My suggestions is not to look outside the…

I would see if there is a kegel exercise or google to see how many calories that has, then use it, u might have to adjust the calories to fit, like add them twice, depend how long you actually do this exercise. I prefer walking while doing this exercise, that way you are getting more benefits. I like the fact that if you…

Remember Misery loves company! Plz plz do not allow them to change the you who you are inside...stand your ground! :flowerforyou: You will become stronger, the more you say, "no". I am on you side! Do you bring a better choice for your own preferance? Or what are you doing in the break room? Reading a book, drinking water,…

Now that is a nice easy mousse with low calories, it sounds delicious! 5' 4" S.W.234 (Sept. 5,2011) P.W.227.9 (Sept. 12, 2011) C.W.228.4 (Sept. 19, 2011) It was a tough one when I saw that number! I will be alright! The 20th was my worst day, but the 21st I am really back on track. I AM NOT BOTHERED NO MORE:) THANK YOU…

It depends what you are hungry for? Rice cakes, some popcorn, apple, orange. All that good stuff!! How is your Daily Calorie Allowance intake 1200? Did MFP give that to you automatically or did you adjust it? Does your Daily Calorie Allowance go up after you exercise? What do you do than, eat some more or not?

Hello. What I learned is that 1200 is too low, because when you are lowering your calorie intake & you up your activity level. You need extra calories to fuel your body so you can burn the extra calories, to boost your metabolism. Plus to repair your body after exercising. This is something I have been battling with MFP. I…

These diet pills are very strong & they do that to a person. I think a person can take less of those pills than are prescribed.

I know how that is, to be hardly eating anything or even wanting to eat. I use to go on low fat diets & I would get this same way. You must force yourself to eat!!!!!!!!!!!! Breakfast.....................Lunch.....................Dinner.................and several small snacks in between...................... What you are…

Thanks Mark, This helps me figure out the confusion. Like MrsCon40 said about giving myself two wks before I get on a scale, that is where I went wrong. Now I want to get back on track...I'm ready to try it again. I appreciate everyone's advice.

How is your cholesterol? Mine is 249, & I came here to bring it down. So I am eating oatmeal or cheerios for breakfast. I am learning to eat in moderation. Like I love to go by the serving size on the container or package, then there is room for more food. I just need more exercise. I have health issues; back & shoulder…

Hi bethdris, I agree with you because the way you were eating was the way I was eating & it was working for me. As long as I ate enough calories to prevent my body from going into starvation mode. That is where I felt safest. I do agree it is trial & error. Plenty of mts. along the way, to help tone up the muscles, gives…

I heard both ways! This is confusing, but I think I can understand how it is suppose to work. It does sound like you are in the same shoes as I am in that sense. I do know as long as we seek we shall find, that is just what God says we are to do. Keep on Trucking:flowerforyou: Thanks very much for everyone's opinion. Okay…

So it is getting clearer, plus you make more sense which is easier for me to understand...Cool! I will try to stick to it! I don't ever want to get in that…

Hi young lady, I was your age when I started gaining weight after my first baby. I just never lost any, kept going up alittle at a time. Then I stayed at around 240 for many yrs. I thank the Lord for my dr who ordered my blood work, it makes me feel important. She really cared :smile: I got online to look how to bring my…
