Tuna, egg, or chicken salad with lettuce wraps or on top of a tomato

There is actually an adjustment for those with small or large frames since BMI is just an estimate. I believe the adjustment for people with large frames is about 10%...so instead of 167 lbs, that's put you closer to 184 lbs which sounds like where you think you'd be more comfortable, and judging by your profile pic, in…

I agree with everyone's post on here, I'm 5'4" and my goal is also 135...I've been there before, I was a size 9 pants...SIZE 9!!! I was hot! No one told me I was too skinny then, so what's their deal when I say I want to weigh 135 now? Or that I need to lose 100 pounds (it was 120 lbs, but I'm 20 lbs down now!)...they're…

As a nurse, I would just like to point out that many medications have what are called "off-label" uses, and just because the medication has been found to have other uses, does not make it a bad option. There are many medications used today for conditions that they were never developed for, but found to be more effective…

Bump :)

Congrats for joining! That's the first step, there's lots of great resources on this site between the friends you'll make, the blogs to read, the food diary (invaluable!), and ofcourse your motivation! I joined mid-September and have lost 16 pounds so far, and have just over 100 lbs. left to lose. I also started at 255…

Bump :)

That's awesome! It works if you work it :D I haven't been doing much to strengthen myself, just really focusing on correct intake since I just started about a month ago, but I hope to get there soon once I get a little more settled into my new job & schedule. Best of luck to you!!! ~Erin

You're right...that's what I was coming to do- offer encourgement. One pound IS huge! If I consistantly lost one pound a week, I'd be very happy to be making progress, after all, we all gained it one pound at a time...gotta lose it the same way :D Best of luck to you all!

Best of luck to you! Feel free to add me if you like, I've been using MFP for about a month and just love it :)

I'm all in favor of saving money, just be a cautious consumer. Check the packaging (for rips & broken seals), compare ingredients (for effectiveness), and definitely be mindful of the expiration date. Otherwise, you should be fine :smile:

Yes, IBS could def be an option, celiac disease also makes sense, lactose intolerance (even developed later in life), and the list goes on. The CT will let them look at your internal organs to see if there is any swelling, blockages, bleeding, etc without being invasive from up top, or down below if you know what I mean.…

When I make a marinade (whatever the ingredients) I measure the ingredients out and then put them in a cup to measure the total amount, then I put the marinade "recipe" into MFP to get the total cals of whatever amount I've made. Then after I remove whatever I marinate, I pour the marinade back into a measuring cup to see…

34?

Hi Kaitlin- Sounds like me! I just moved to Rochester from pretty far away to start a new job...and pretty much my life. I just graduated from nursing school this May & really need to get those extra pound off. Luckily it seems like lots of people are pretty health conscious around here, hopefully it'll rub off on me. I…

Awe that'd be great! I live in Rochester, & where close is good for day to day stuff, I wouldn't mind driving around an hour on the weekend to see a great park. Thanks!

Hi there! I just moved to Rochester last month....beautiful weather for walking right now! I'm planning to visit some of the state parks this weekend and take a walkabout during peak fall colors. I haven't lived up north since I was a kid, and in the deep south, there is no autumn so I'm just loving this :heart: :bigsmile:…

Hi there & welcome!!! I've only been here 2 weeks myself, but I've logged everyday and lost 8.8 lbs so far, so I feel like I'm getting the hang of it. I'm 32, 5'4" and 246 at the moment, I'm aiming for 135 so I have a ways to go as well. Oh, and I just moved to MN, from Mobile, AL....so I KNOW the southern food for sure!!!…

Alabama, Mississippi, and Minnesota all do it too.

Oh, I'm right there with you JamiroJunior!!! I think about it all the time, and believe it or not, visualizing our success is SO important! The more we think about reaching our goals, seeing ourselves in our mind's eye reaching those goals whether it be dropping fat %, lowering BMI, losing pounds, wearing those old jeans,…

Wow...it seems so far away I haven't even thought about it...maybe a day of pampering at the spa? I'll def need a closet full of new clothes too, and I'll actually enjoy shopping for them again :D

Fat free greek yogurt- read the labels tho, some is much higher in protein than other brands and those are the ones I like better. Also granola bars, an apple, a handful of nuts, hummus & carrots, oatmeal, also drink a hot cup of tea or low-sodium organic broth- they are all pretty filling for me as a snack! Hope that…

I love potatoes, rice, pasta, bread....yeah all the starches, but I don't eat them everyday with every meal now. One thing that I have found that I LOVE is the Steamfresh packs of veggies in the freezer section by Birdseye. They have all different varieties (I choose just the veggies, not the ones in sauce) and you just…
-
As long as you're eating those other things I would think it'd be fine, especially with cooler weather coming, warm soup is nice and helps up your water intake. I would just make sure that the sodium isn't too high (not sure if this is a homemade or pre-packaged soup). Best of luck ;)

LOL @ sleepytexan ;)

Feel free to add me...I'm fairly new to the site & def drama-free, best of luck to you and your health goals :D

Awe, great pics Kate! You really look awesome :happy: I took pics today so hopefully I'll have a good comparison in a few months too! That would be a fabulous Christmas present for me. Keep up the good work & thanks for filling us in on what you do, I've been thinking about getting a treadmill for the house, I could so…

I'm so sorry you're having a such a tough time right now. I, too, graduated from my university not long ago (in May) and passed my boards as a Registered Nurse, and it took me several months to find a job, and even now, I may have my start date put off until December, so I may have to get a job in retail for the Christmas…
