For my Birthday I made cupcakes and iced them my self. That way I knew exactly how many calories I was getting. You can buy gluten free cake mixes in Target now. As far as dinner is concerned I would eat what you normally do but when you order ask them to bring you a box when you get your meal. Then you can put half of it…

I love to do rice. You can add veggies to it like peas and carrotts or just eat it plain. That is one of my favorites. As far as veggies go I like ot get the bags you steam that have mixed veggies in them. I find that my kids will eat those with out fussing to much. Good Luck!

I have PCOS and have recently been diganosed with dieietes. I try to keep my carbs 50 or under per meal this has helped with everything. I now get my period on a regular basis and my blood sugars are getting under control. It might help if you went to see a nutrisionist. They could really help you understand what types of…

Wow I see alot of new people! That is awsome! Welcome to MPF. This is an awsome site and you will find lots of help and support. I know that anyone can do this if I can! So Good Luck and lets all accomplish some Goals!!

The Doctor is what started my journey. It just takes lots of support and MPF has that. Welcome. I am glad you decided to join. I really do not have much advice. I do not deny myself the foods I want I just eat them in moderation and make sure I excersie. It has helped me stay on track and even loose weight during the…

Try eating less calorie filling foods. I love to eat carotts and green giant individual serving of coliflour and cheese. Both of those are under 40 calories. When I am having a day when I am really hungry I eat those! Good Luck you will get there you just need to keep at it!

When I am having a rough patch I try to eat carotts (the crunch reminds me of chips). I try to think that I am eating the thing I really want. Just try to stay positive and excersie. When I am feeling down about my weight loss I force myself to get on the treadmill. It makes me feel so much better in the end.

I am an emotional eater as well as a bored eater. I have recently started to run when I am up set. It works sometimes. I do eat my comfort foods sometimes as well. I have been trying to find foods that are similar to my comfort foods but with lower calories. Just try to find something that helps with the stress and the…

Before I got pregnate with my daughter I lost 35lbs and I was pleaslently suprised when I got pregnate. My doctor told me that losing the weight is how I got pregnate. With my son I went on fertility drugs because I did not want to loose weight. Now I am taking the wieght off for good. I wish you luck in the future! Great…

I have had the same problem in the past. My husband and I go on the same diet and he looses alot of weight and I do not loose any ore very little. I was discouraged also. Then I told him he should just eat what he wants he does not need to loose weight. When I started on MPF he ate most of his normal stuff and lost wieght…

I have a 2 year old and a 5 year old. Plus I watch a 4 month old so I know how hard it is to excersie with them around. With my 2 year old I try to get him involved he likes to try to do what I do he even does situps and leg lifs. When I am on the treadmill I let them play playdough or do a craft. I try to let them do…

I think it is ok to have little set backs along the way as long as you keep trying. You will eventually get over the tough spot. I try to give myself rewards a different intervalls. This helps keep me motivated. Think of things that you want or want to do. I have gotten a mani Pedi as my 10lbs reward. I am working on…

I would add the icing recipe in the recipe section. As long as you know how many serving it makes it lets you know how many calories it is. I have used it and found it a lot easier than guessing. It sounds very yummy!! I love pecans!

I am diabetic. I recomend that you go to a dieatician. They will help. It helped me. You just have to watch how many carbs you eat at each meal. I try to stay under 50 carbs per meal. If you keep track of your calories then you will start to loose weight and then in turn it will help with you blood sugar. Good Luck on your…

I myself have had issues with rejection. I have not gotten under 200 but I have not stopped trying. I think it is a day by day thing we need to do. Every morning I look in the mirror and tell myself that I am important and that i matter. It is hard for me with 2 kids to take care of. I often put them before me. I actually…

I have had the same thing happen to me with ice cream. I ate ice cream all the time. I was seriously addicted to it. I have only tried it one time in 75 days and I only ate a little then decided it was yucky and through it away. It was kind of a relief. I am glad I do not have a craving for it any more.

Congratulations! I would just try to eat healthy until you go the the doctors. The doctor will be able to tell you how many calories you should be taking in. When I was pregnant I was supposed to be taking in 1800 calories(but that was me). I also lost some weight in both my pregnancies till my doctor said she did not want…

I would definitely get a second opinion. I am not sure if you have kids or not but you can have abnormally heavy bleeding after having kids. I myself had bleeding for 3 months straight before I went to the doctor. There are things you doctor can either prescribe for you that may work. I would just go back to the doctor.…

I had the same problem. I would loose the weight and then it would come right back as soon as I stopped the diet. I have not had much will power to do a diet. I have had great success with MPF.I eat based on how many carbs are at a meal I do not go over 50 per meal. I have diabetes. I pretty much eat what I want as long as…

I am with you I love food too! I started MFP 7 weeks ago. I have been doing good you just have to keep at it. My life also got alot busier. I am finding it hard to find time for me. I do however watch what I eat and keep under my calories. I know if I can do it you can as well. If you need more support add me as a friend.…

Thanks everyone! I did do some research on the medicine she gave me. She gave me a new drug called victoza. The drug just came out in January. I do not know how comfortable I feel taking it. I feel like a guine pig. Thanks for all of your support. I know I can get healthy I am already down to 211.6lbs and I started at…

I always look at the websites for nutrition information. I have even gone so far as to not go the places where they do not give the infromation. I never really knew what I was eating before and I do not want to go back to that.

I lived in a bottom floor apartment and had a rental office above me. They were not really that loud even with all the people walking around. I think that most people understand that living in an apartment is not always going to be the quietest place to live. I think the neighbors will understand especially if you…

My first week was like a trial period. It took alot of effort to get used to what to eat. I try to eat alot of veggies with my meals so feel full on them and they do not have many calories. As for the excersie if you have stairs at home and you are over calories run up and down the steps for 30 min that is a good at home…

I have that Game! I log it as circut training when I do a combined workout. It diffinatley kicks your butt.

I also do not have the charging station. We use reghargable batteries for the remotes. We have 3 remotes so we change the batteries about once a week. I like the rechargable batteries because we use them for everything in the house. Enjoy the WII your son is gonna love it.

I think that everyone makes there own choices and no one should condemn, ridicule or make fun of them. I think that it is great that you have found a positive way to help ensure your future weight loss. I do not think it matters how you loose the weight as long as you do. I myself have considered lap-band. My doctor…

Welcome! I just joined two weeks ago and I love it. I have already lost 4.6lbs. If I can do it I know you can to. Good Luck!!

I would go ahead and weigh in. It is always better to see where your weight is really at. If you gain a little back that is ok. Just work extra hard next week to make sure you loose what you gained. I believe in you and know you can get the weight off. Everyone has a bad day or two once in awhile.

I just started this week. I am also looking for people to loose with. I need all the help I can get. So far I love this site and it has been keeping me very motivated. YEAH!!
