I have a friend that sells it, and to be honest I think it is a waste of money. Go to the Plexus website and look at the before and after pics. The before is close up, and the after is far away.... there is no real loss there! And the ones that do have loss, if you read through more they always talk about a calorie…

This is absolutely perfect, and every person that comes to MFP NEEDS to read this.... Thank you for posting this!

It is definitely a slippery slope.... there aren't enough teachers now as it is! Then you make it so you get rid of them at the drop of a hat, and that is going to leave even larger educational gaps than there already are! On the other side of the slope, I'd like to see the teachers that are just there now to check the box…

Both.... I stay up until 11ish on week nights because I get up for work by 5-5:30. And on the weekends I'm usually up until 1-2a.m. and up by 6 or 7.

To get a better idea of exactly how many calories you are eating, you should take the time to weigh everything, and if it enters your mouth you should log it! You would be surprised to see just how many calories you are getting with the veggies you are not logging! They still won't add up to a ton of calories, but some…

For me it was a culmination of things.... I would go for the week eating barely anything, then when we had family get togethers, I would eat all day long.... If I tried to stop and add up the calories that I would eat on Sundays it would probably give me a heart attack just thinking about it! I also went from being very…

I'm a 41yo single working mom of 3.... My oldest recently moved out, but I still have the 19yo and the 2yo at home, and it is most definitely a challenge! Feel free to add me.... the more support the better!

You look amazing! Great job :drinker:

I am wanting to lose around 100 pounds more, but that number is going to depend on how I look at my first goal.... I'm always looking for additional supportive friends! Feel free to add me, but fair warning, I have a few crazies on my FL now, and they are awesome, so if you are easily shocked you may want to reconsider…

A big ole plate of nachos.... with beef, beans, black olives, nacho cheese, shredded cheese and gobs of sour cream lettuce and tomato! Heaven! Oh I almost forgot the salsa....

"Up to the Mountain" - I prefer the Kelly Clarkson version from Idol gives back with Jeff Beck (freaking amazing) Why - because no matter how many times I get kicked, I keep coming back and getting my strength from Up Above! If you want to listen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxNYvzXQ3m4

I do that at least once or twice a month (I have a little one that often times doesn't sleep at night, so I get foggy brain in the morning).... I typically will go to a grocery store where there is a salad/food bar, and then get some fresh fruit or a yogurt for later in the afternoon.

I have found a few new snack things that are really tasty, and have helped with some of my cravings: Kale chips (already mentioned) My own potato chips (oven baked with a little fresh ground sea salt) My own sweet potato chips (again oven baked with a little fresh ground sea salt) And for chocolate, I have discovered…

Congratulations on making the change to become more healthy! It's a HUGE step, and it can be scary and sometimes very frustrating. I think there are a couple of things going on here, first going from 5000 calories a day down to 1200 calories a day overnight has probably shocked the H!@# out of your body. Some of the…

I have been single now for just under 3 years, and I totally get it..... But I have learned (or should I say re-learned) that I dress up for me.... Not for anyone else! If I feel like I look especially attractive, then I have a much better attitude about everything. Do those things for you, not because you have a BF, but…

Yes, you can lose weight eating whatever you want as long as you eat at a deficit, but there is definitely something to be said for the quality of food. Notice mention of protein, fruits and veggies... All of these things help you to feel full longer, and often times you can eat more of them than you can a piece of pizza.…

haha.... I've never used my sports bra, but have used my shirt and showed off the sports bra :wink: I was walking on the treadmill listening to music on my iPhone, I guess I was getting too into it, next thing I know the phone goes flying, then I go flying (I stopped shocked at my phone going). :blushing:

My grandfather was onboard a Navy ship on D-Day.... not really sure where at the time as he spoke very little of that time, and he is gone now so I cannot ask him :cry:
-
I do the same thing.... I've waited and worked this long to get exactly what I want, why give in now and settle??

Often times if you are in the heat for an excessive period of time, and you do not hydrate appropriately, your body will hold onto whatever water/hydration it is getting, which causes "weight gain". You definitely should look at your sodium levels too.....

Oh yea.... it is defnitely making a comeback here in MD.

You can't bring up the 80's without St. Elmo's Fire, Pretty in Pink, Ghost, Road House, Dirty Dancing and Weird Science :laugh:

I've had that happen before.... I just told them I didn't put the weight on overnight, and I do not expect to lose it overnight! I'd much rather lose it in a healthy way then to use some miracle weight loss product that once stopped will help me to gain back even more weight! Do NOT let the negative Nelly's stop your…

I'm not much of a breakfast person wither, however, I often times make an egg cassarole on Sundays, cut it into 4 sections and take it for the week. It reheats beautifully: 2 c Simply potato shreds 6 large eggs spinach - chopped 1/2 c shredded cheese Sausage or ham (depending on what I have in the freezer) 2 slices…

sounds delish, thanks for sharing!

When going to the pool I fix sandwiches and take lots of fruit and water.

OH no.... once I'm done working out, they have to come off! Shower and fresh clothes is the name of the game.... it helps me feel refreshed and keeps the blood pumping for a bit longer!

I always have beef and chicken taco meat in the fridge for quick easy meals during the week. You can use them as a base for many things.... obviously taco's, salads, cassaroles, etc.
