Thanks for the info! I took the calories from both websites and then am logging the average ;)) I had found the Self calculated, but hadn't come across the UNM one - thanks so much!

Hi Ya! Ready to get back on track! =)) 1. Current weight (optional) - Pass - lol 2. weight lost since last week: - 2.4lbs 3. Other accomplishment or NSV (non scale victory) for the week - Saw some friends I haven't seen in 5 months b/c I've been MIA working on the diet and working out....got some really nice compliments ;)…

Hi ya ;) I think the calories they give you on MFP might be the minimum number of calories for you to hit to lose weight????? Does that make sense? If that's the case, then that's why they would be lower maybe ;) I'm just guessin' though...

Eyes, arms, hands, smile......oh and mouth! lol

Wow! That's soo interesting! I had never even thought about that...am definitely gonna look into it. Thanks!

You can buy it in pure liquid form (with a "dropper") in the organic/natural section of your local grocery store. It's a little…

I just made a ground turkey meatloaf w/melba toast, onion, egg whites and a diet-friendly ketchup/tomato sauce and it was super delish! Made enough so that I could freeze some and eat it later in the week. You should give it a try! Surprisingly yummy!

Hi there! I was in the saaaaaame spot! I was "stuck" for a week...and actually gained a little back! I know how frustrating it can be, but keep with it!!! It WILL pass! I was soooo frustrated so I definitely can relate! I'm hoping I'm back on the "losing" side of it now again ;) But, what I did was added some green tea to…
