You are killin it! Way to go

I know how you feel. I've been on here for years and noticed that I felt the NEED to log. I just had to know and make sure I was doing alright. For me it started to get a little out of hand. I stopped listening to my body cues about how full I was and instead would pay attention to what my calorie counts were. I decided to…

Hi! I just joined! My weigh in day is today (friday) and my weight is 148 :)

oh I'm in! I'm close to my goal weight so I'm finding it harder to get the weight off, All aupport would be so appreciated!!

I get really inspired by checking out before and after pics on here or pinterest. and honestly... "intuitive eating" is changing my life. If I want something I eat it and pay attention to how it makes me feel. Now when I look at something unhealthy I don't think "that's gonna make me fat" (which sometimes isnt enough…

Hi everyone! I have been on mfp a few years. A veteran here. I've been maintaining for two years and am ready for the push to lose the last 15lbs. Looking for friends as all my original friends on here have kind of dwindled away

Hey! First off congrats on the change! I eat minimal meat but I have some backyard chickens so I still eat a lot of eggs. As far as you consuming less water lately that is probably due to the amount of water you are taking in from fruits and veggies. It is very possible to get a majority of your daily water intake from…

Hey! Great topic idea. I have been practicing a once-a-week-cooking meaning I make most of my meals on the weekend for the whole week. This week I had: Breakfasts: 1 pack gluten freeda oatmeal (180 cals) with 1/4 cup of fruit (different fruit each day) = 200 cals 1 pc of udis gluten free white bread w 1 T peanut butter =…

PS way to go on only having 8lbs left to go!

Thank you for the links. I actually found those helpful to get the amounts in mgs! What I am still wondering if I consume 100% of my calcium for the day is that is 100% DRI for a 2000 calorie diet? Or has it been adjusted to my 1300 calories?

I hit mine at about 8 months into weight loss. For me it was because it was time to reassess my goals. In order to continue to lose weight I need to exercise more than I did when I was heavier. Spending 20 minutes on the treadmill at 4mph wasnt doing the same as before because I wasn't carrying an extra 30lbs with me…

Good resources but I am still not sure that answers my question unfortunately. I want to know when the site says I have had 100% of my calcium for the day is it 1000mg that I have consumed? And the same general question for the other nutrients. I can just keep adding things to my calorie counter until I find out but I was…

Touchy subject indeed! I EAT BACK.... kind of. My reasoning is that my body requires a certain amount of calories to keep my organs running and healthy. Therefore I never go under 1200 or I am probably killing brain cells ;) I don't always eat back ALL of my calories but enough to keep a reasonable amount of calories in my…

I also use zuccini or make my own noodles. To make my own I use: 1 cup flour (usually white rice flour but a gf flour mix works great too 1 tsp xanthan gum if the mix doesnt have it 2 eggs 1 tbsp olive oil mix it up and roll it out! I have a pasta roller. They sell for less than $20. If the noodles are sticky, add more…

Hello All! I have been gf for years now but am always looking for more ideas. Id love more friends who i can share my diary with and see theirs. Seeing other diaries of "gluten-eaters" it seems like thats all they ea!

I follow this reasoning as well. I am down 36lbs and have always eaten my calories back. Well at least some of them. I don't push it if im not hungry. I try to give my body the bare minimum of 1200 for my brain and organs to run properly. I rarely ever get sick and barely ever feel restricted in my diet. I like the idea of…

' Well I thought I would weigh in on this one too. Truth is that I like the interaction but Im bored of the standard responses. I dont necessarily need to hear "Nice Burn" after every workout lol. I agree with another comment I read about having something valuable to contribute. I comment when I have something helpful to…

And assuming we see the diary and everything is accurate then it is very likely it is something to see your doctor about. Most of the time I find people just aren't being 100% in tracking but it is also possible you have health issues that can be quite serious and cause weight gain as a side effect. Fingers crossed that…

Feel free to add me also! A lot of us on here can really relate. We will be your best motivators and support! :) I am just reaching out for friends on MFC again. I deleted my contacts on here and didn't lose a single pound since! Theres something to be said about being accountable I guess lol PS how do I put my weight lost…

I feel the same way! I have a bunch of friends on here in the beginning but they all started bickering and I deleted them all lol. I am looking to connect to more friends on here. I like happy/positive people! Optimism is key when working through something like this! So I have sent you a friend invite. I am open to friend…

I agree! I get this all the time! I was clinically obese and people I know were saying "you dont need to lose any more! You will be too skinny". I was literally... for real... clinically obese! I was shortening my life span and putting myself at higher risk for heart problems, diabetes and a ridiculous amount of other…

I use: Carrot Onion Sweet Potato Squash Turnip Coat lightly in olive oil, sprinkle with paprika and bake for about 30 mins at 350F (until veggies are soft). Put the veggies in the blender with some low sodium stock and puree. Serve with a…
