    in My first BIG NSV: clothing size! Comment by JennJayBee October 2011
  • Oddly enough, not eating enough is my biggest problem and reason for weight GAIN. I can lose weight easily enough as long as I'm eating something every few hours. But since I became a mommy, I got horrible about skipping meals. That's when the pounds really packed on. So when I started using MFP I vowed that I'd eat all…

  • I like the Smart Balance Fat Free milk. It doesn't taste as watered-down as regular skim milk, and it's packed with protein (11g per 8oz serving). You can also get it with extra calcium or omega 3's. One serving of the +calcium will give you 40% of your daily calcium. My regular skim milk is 90 calories per serving, and…

  • I'm a HUGE junk food junkie. Here are the substitutions that I've found for when I get "the cravings." For the most part, portion sizes seems to do the trick. Munchies (crunchy) = mini rice cakes (any flavor) Ice cream = ICE CREAM. No seriously. Buy those little birthday party cups in individual sizes. Just one will set…

  • Keep in mind that muscle weighs more than fat. So if your clothes are fitting more loosely, it could be that you're gaining muscle-- which is a good thing. Be sure to keep up with your measurements, and that should give you a better overall picture.

  • Vodka cranberry or vodka lemonade. I'm a vodka girl, no doubt. I like champagne cocktails, too. And whiskey sours.

  • I've only added a few so far since I just started. I'll probably end up with a ton, since I've come up with a hundred or so ideas already, but it's good to be excited about a new diet plan!

  • I'm new as well- 32 y/o, looking to drop about 50 lbs. My SIL was just diagnosed at 28 and is set to have her first radiation treatments in a couple weeks. (She should be cancer free after that.) Definitely praying for you, hon! Add me if you like. :smile:

  • I'm always looking for something quick to grab when running out the door in the morning, and I always eat a snack between breakfast and lunch (and another between lunch and dinner), so I only need just enough to tide me over until about 9 or 10am. I like the Fiber One chewy bars (90 calories). If you want some protein, try…
