So I weighed myself yesterday since I knew I had been retainging water from last weekend and I was 211.6!

Last week ... 214.2 This week ... 215.2 *My ring is tighter than usually and I ate entirely too much sodium all weekend so I am know I am retaining some water but not sure how much! I had family in town and then we went out of town so I pretty much ate out every meal from Friday through Monday so this was a rough week.…

The best time to excerise is whenever you can fit it in! I have a very busy day so I typically squeeze it in after work before dinner. I find that it actually makes me eat less at dinner. With the goal that MFP sets you will find it easier to watch your carbs because you will want to stay fuller longer and wasting all of…

I always keep fruit like Bananas, Apples, Clementines at work with me for snacks. I also always keep frosted mini wheat cereal in my desk drawer so when I am feelilng hungry in between meals or if I forget my breakfast I pour out a cup of those and snack while I drink a couple glasss of white. The fiber fills me up and…

Count me in! April is my daughter's 1 year birthday and I told myself when I started in October with MFP that I wanted to be sexy for her birthday!

Ghirardelli makes some tasty dark chocolate squares that are only like 50 cals each and they are individually wrapped so you can just grab 1 or 2 to satisfy your sweet tooth and then put the rest of the bag away out of sight!

Wait?! There is something wrong with giving crack to kids?!

To be honest ... I don't care much about the government stepping in to control diet suppliments since half of them don't do anything in the first place. The government should find better things to worry about than banning products that have no real effect. I do however think it is responsible for any company to label what…

Take care of yourself and when you are feeling better get back on track with your diet. I had a horrible stomach bug last month and I was throwing up for two days straight without being able to hold anything down. I was trying to stay on track but I was soo weak and needed any kind of food I could keep down. I took about a…

Do I have to?! I am scared to get on the scale after this week! "Shark" week was horrible on me ... I was craving EVERYTHING horrible for me! I tried my best to not give in too much but it was so hard. It took every ounce of control I had to not bake cookies and eat them all!

I just had mine taken out at the end of August this year. My pregnancy caused gall stones so there was no healing it just had to come out. I had it done 4 months after my C-Section to ensure that was all healed up before getting cut up again. So the gall bladder surgery was a breeze compared to the c-section. I had my…

I had heartburn randomly for a week straight and when I complained about it to one of my staff members they joked and said "maybe you are pregnant". That worried me so I bought a test on the way home ... it is now 13 months later and I no longer have the heartburn but I do have an adorable 7 month old daughter. =)

LOL - I went to Jason's Deli with some friends a while back and one of the girls got their basic baked potato and it looked tasty so I looked up the calories and it was 2k!!!!! I don't understand where the put all those caloies. I know butter and cheese are higher in calories but I could put a whole stick of butter and a…

I use Planet Fitness because they are cheap - memberships are either $10 or $19 depending on if you want to only use 1 gym or use all of their gyms. I do the $19 membership because I have gym by my house and by my office so it is sometimes easier for me to use whichever is closer at the time ... anything to keep me…

This is a lifestyle change and if you LOVE chocolate you aren't going to be able to just give it up completely! You have to learn to enjoy the foods you love in moderation or else you won't survive the change. Learn the serving sizes and calorie count for the sweets you like and learn to incorporate them into your diet…

I have bought a handful of dresses and skirts because those tend to be more forgiving if they are a bit too tight or too loose. I go with the pencil skirts that just have an elastic waistband so I can pull them up higher or roll the waistband as needed to make them fit more appropriately. There is no reason you can't look…

LOL - I actually did this already! I have only lost about 17 pounds but I have dropped nearly 2 pant sizes already and I gave some of my jeans to a co-worker. It felt GREAT to bring her those jeans after the past few weeks of her bashing the whole "dieting" fad. Since I gave her the jeans she hasn't said a negative word…

I use my strength training as my "buffer" for the miscalculations with calories burned and calories eaten. I figured there is often an overestimating of the calories burned and an underestimating of the calories eaten so I don't count the calories burned from any strength training to compensate for that.

What is your daily calorie goal? If you have been at that calorie intake for a while I know your body will eventually slow down a bit to adjust to the new lower calorie intake. Sometimes eating more will help kick start the weight loss again ... although I know that goes against everything we know!!!! The whole "zig zag'…

LOL - I know your pain! It is "shark week" for me and since Friday night I have been fighting with myself all day long trying not to eat everything in sight! I started MFP at the end of October and have been doing so well with eating around 1200 everyday but for some reason this cycle has me STARVING! I am trying…

Sex!

I was wondering that too because it actually has the same amount of calories as skim milk.

This week I am focusing on really keeping track of my water! I am bad about paying attention to how much I actually drink so my goal over the next couple of weeks is to log every ounce of water I put in to ensure I am getting enough! I think was typically drinking about 64 ounces but I want to try and get over 100 ounces a…

Hey! I'm Courtney. I am 29 and I started MFP on October 23, 2011 after my husband found some amazing weight-loss success stories on Reddit. He was so motivated by the stories and pictures that he couldn't wait to show me when I got home. He motivated me and we started planning all the things we would do once we finally…

I started taking Women's One-A-Day active metabolism multivitamin every mornign with breakfast when I started on MFP. It has 120mg of Caffeine. I found that it does help me get going in the morning. I used to reach for a soda or coffee drink in the morning and now I rarely grab anything but water in the morning. It may…

I use a lot of Cooking Light recipes ... I have books but you can get a bunch of their website too. I just made a wonderful turkey and bean chili that was only 211 calories per cup. I also have snagged some tasty recipes from EatingWell.com. I frequently make this lemon chicken stir fry which is only around 225 calories…
