Don't think I could have said it better. Did the loss and gain game several times myself. I am currently working on losing the 10 pounds I gained back after a back injury. I basically used that as an excuse to take a break from the gym and turned my weekend into foodie adventures. Yes, I am that girl who plans her weekend…

Here are some of the ideas we use at home. 1. MEAL PLAN: Tons of money goes to waste when you go to the store and buy a bunch of things that don't make an entire meal. Go to the store or check ads to see what is on sale then plan meals around them. When at the store ONLY buy what you need. If you can, budget a small amount…

I am 5'2 my highest was four and a half years ago at 230 pounds. My current weights is 163 and my goal is 140, then toning.

I love making breakfast burritos with scrambled eggs (1 egg + 2 whites), fat free sour cream, emerald valley salsa from Costco, and fat free sour cream on thin corn tortillas (2 for 80 calories) I also heat up boca burgers and load them with lots of toppings Trader Joes Sweet Italian Sausages (100 cals each) and onion and…

I have been married two years and am down 13 pounds from my weight on my wedding day and I often think -- girl you could have tried to lose ten pounds back then! Anyway, what I am trying to say is that those photos last forever, I love the way I looked as a bride even with the extra weight and I bought a dress that fit me…

Wow, great loss! You look so pretty in your wedding dress. So glad to see you take charge of looking fab for your wedding. Keep up the momentum.

Amazing loss! You even look younger -- best of luck on the rest of your journey and congrats on 1 year!

One of my best friends used to suffer from these often, I get them as well but they let up a lot after I had sinus surgery. My friend actually tried everything including spending thousands on a special doctor. They still didn't go away. Then one day I heard that some types of birth control can cause migraines, I told her…

Congrats on sticking with it for three weeks so far! Sending a request your way!

bump!

Everyone I know talks about the pineapple whip, if I were going I would try it!

Yumm! Great idea

I agree with the above comment regarding a full body work out. I was never a gym class person but our gym has great instructors that make you feel welcome. I try to do full body workout classes-- our gym does LesMills classes. I rotate them on certain days, cardio and strength is RPM (Spin), Strength with Body Pump and…

Bianca has a group for the shred going that you can join. That will allow you to follow each other. I injured my back but am hoping I can start the shred again on Feb. 1, feel free to add me if you are looking for support!

I was doing the shred and made it up to day eleven. After only one day on level 2 I ended up hurting my back. If my back improves I will start back with you guys. I was so bummed to have to stop, this video really works! I am going to the doctor this week to get some help, hope I can join!

Feel free to add me, I have lost sixty since I started this journey four years ago however, I have at least thirty more to go. Feel free to add me. Best of luck to you!

I use real eggs although I used to cook with egg beaters and eat egg dishes with them. I think for me, these days I am trying to go for the most natural option available. I most often eat the egg white only, although sometimes I eat the yoke also.

I shop at TJ's all the time below are some of the items I buy: - Chicken Sausage - both Sweet Italian and Apple Flavors - Sea Salt and Peppercorn Grinders (did you know the tops screw off so you can fill them up again) - 21 Seasoning Salute (this stuff is life changing! I use it in soups, stews, on meat, in sauces, best…

Melissa, Sending you a request now. I am so excited for you to have taken the step and joined. Being a mom and homeschooling is a big commitment that is worth the reward. I know that if you keep with logging, exercising, and remind yourself that this is a journey with ups and downs and to not give up you will succeed! I…

Sending a request your way. I started three months ago after my best friend used it to shed 45 pounds.

As someone who works for a Health Department I have to warn against this aside from the obvious issues folks may see with this, there could also be a food recall on those items. The last thing you want is to rack up hospital bills from salmonella poisoning. Recent items the FDA has recalled include peanut butter, eggs,…

This is a great suggestion, even if you don't join the weekly option a food co-op is a great place to find low price items.

I can honestly say I am getting to be a bit of a pro at cooking healthy on a budget. I have been exactly where you are...well not the college part but the 22 and eating on a budget because hamburger helper is not going to help me lose the weight. Here are a few suggestions that may be mentioned already but to be honest I…

I would suggest you go to a store that can fit you for inserts. The New Balance store where we live will fit you for them. I was a sceptic until they fit both my husband and I and we found that he has a well supported foot with even pressure points and my feet are...well they suck with tons of pressure spots. I also love…

SO happy to hear that you were able to realize how you are feeling. I would also suggest that you consider finding any other MFP members that are located in Guam. My guess is that you are not the only person going through this same experience and you may find great ideas and advice from others that live where you do. Best…

Feel free to add me, I am 5'1 highest weight was 230. My current weight is 173 and shedding. My goal weight is 140, which I haven't seen since I was a freshman in high school :)
