google the weight watchers vegetable soup

the South Beach Diet book had some good desserts using ricotta cheese. Very satisfying. I think you would have some luck using the Olivia method that some of us have been following. It helps you to calculate what your BMR is and maintenance calories are so you can create a 500 - 100 calorie deficit a day. If you want to…

CT! Freezing here and now with 8 inches of snow! Whoo Hoo!

Nope............He said under 35 grams a day! It worked back then but i remember being immensely frustrated! :)

MFP wants me to eat about 1600 cal a day but based on calculations of BMR and maintenance amount based on the "Olivia method" I should be eating 1233 to create a 370 calorie deficit without exercise. If I can get in 630 calories expended in exercise then that should create a 1000 calorie deficit for me and in theory give…

nope!

Hi, I am an oatmeal every morning girl too. I bring the regular oatmeal to a boit then cook it on medium for 4 min. then add 1/4 cup fresh blueberries and cook for another 2 minutes. with the sweetness of the blueberries you don't need sugar. Yummy!

good thought

you can change this under your settings. I now have sugar and sodium:)

good point. is there a way to adjust that on the computer version?

all work up's negative...

Hi Asheekah..Welcome to MFP. I know you will really like it here:) So what is a fitbit? Feel free to add me as if you would like.

1st week was mostly water with some fat probably. Your goal of 7 # this week is unrealistic if this is the last 7 # you have to go. So unless you are willing to cut off your leg I would shoot for 2 #. If you starve yourself and work out aggressively you will sabotage your metabolism and get sick.

Of course......but in the end I end up putting everything on it to hold myself accountable! The good, the bad, the calorie laden. Plus it drives me to work out everyday so I have the extra calories in my "bank" so I can "cheat" and not feel too guilty:)

Feel free to add me too. Working Moms UNITE! :)

I agree with the sashimi suggestions. If you are really craving a roll maybe go for a hand roll like a California roll. Also, ask for brown rice if you are craving a roll that has rice or sushi. I also like the suggestion of saving it for a cheat day or even better maybe put that as a reward for let's say a 5 # weight loss…

Stay friends for now. There are some big red flags here so do not jump into a serious relationship. Establishing a solid friendship may work in your favor to help him to find his way and motivate him to set and achieve goals.

I went into my goals profile and changed the calories to 1251 based on my BMR instead of the 1200 generic one I started off with. This will more accurately reflect the end numbers right?

How do you calculate the "maintenance" calories? I am sure that as I lose weight I will need to adjust that number.:)

Welcome...feel free to add me. I am with a great group of people!

Bump

Great pictures! How long did it take you to look so amazing? How did you do it?

me too! Great job on the weight loss

My trainer guesstimated that we burn approx. 200 cal. in the 30 minutes we work out. We do weights, resistence and some plyometrics.

It looks like we have the start of a really good group. Now we need to friend each other....

does anyone know how to do the friend thing without the email address?

Hi, I am 47 and in the same boat minus the hypothyroid.......my fat is happy where it is at apparently:)

Absolutely! Count me in. Do you know how to invite friends without their emails?

Your goals are right in line with mine. Wanna buddy up to stay motivated?

what is the 30 day shred?
