I've been back in for a week now. I started mfp in December 2011 and by March 2012 I was down 30lbs. I'm sad to say I gained it all back PLUS some. I just gave up for awhile but, I finally feel motivated and since eating better for the last week I've been feeling better and have much more energy. If you start today than…

I was told by a trainer that you should so 5 minutes of cardio, then weights, and finish with cardio.

Great job. 365 days is alot of dedication. You look great and I can see that you feel great also!

I was 5'8 and 207 when started mfp in December 2011 and with healthy eating, logging everyday, and exercise I lost 30 lbs by March 2012. I don't exactly know how, but I fell off the wagon and I am currently back at 207. I am doing it again and I am going to log everything. The good, the bad, the ugly. Let me tell you,.when…

Looking good!

Ummm... YEAH! You look great! Your arms are smaller and you have lost a lot in your stomach. Your shape is really showing now. Don't feel bad about people not noticing yet. The ones you see everyday probably won't since its a gradual change. I lost 29 lbs and nobody said a word, until I saw someone I hadn't seen in 4…

I just went through this. I have been back to my old ways the past 2 months and gained back almost 8 of the 29 lbs I lost. I am officially back on this week and feeling awesome. I did have to admit it to myself. I got the courage to get my butt on that scale and see what my bad choices have done to my body. Read some…

Lmao! My grandma would have been full of calories and sugar ;-)

You are awesome! Great job. I think the natural you is gorgeous.

My goal is anywhere between 145-155. I have it set fo 155 atm. I was 145 at my thinest in hs and I was pretty comfortable, but I have had 3 kids and I want to be realistic about my expectations.

Sounds good! How many servings does the recipe yield?

Can't see your diary. You need to go to settings and make it public. From the info you have given you need to eat more, up your protein , and do some strength training. You only have a few lbs to lose and you don't need such a large calorie deficit. If you don't like meat or fish try eggs or protein shakes to get your…

I agree with the others, also I see a lot of quick add calories. When you do this it doesn't track your other macros.You have your carbs set pretty low and your protein set very high, but you are not following that. I follow the macro numbers mfp has set and I usually go over in protein. This has worked for me. I do some…

Wow you sure eat a lot of processed food....pot meet kettle. I guess if you spread out your junk food its okay in your book. I am a working mom of 3 who has lost 29 lbs in 3 months. I try to eat as clean as possible but I still eat processed food and fast food. I also have spike days and days when I am just too tired to…

I am going the crock pot route. Put it in the pot, add carrots and potatoes, add seasoning, add water to just cover, cook on low 6 to 8 hours, add cabbage for the last hour, and there you go. I'm skipping the cabbage. I might make sandwiches. Not sure yet.

I don't know if you have an Aldi near you but you can usually find some good deals there on fruits, veggies, eggs, fish, meat, and "diet" foods. Also if you have any asian or mexican markets around go in and look around meat is often very inexpensive at those stores as are their specialty items. I feed a family of 5 for…

You look amazing! I've lost 29lbs also but you can't really tell yet. You look like a completely new person.

My only advice is to use them if you need them. If you are hungry go for it, if youre not than don't. Only eat about 80% back when you do to leave room for error.

Hey everyone. I'm in Waterford. I am a 28 year old mom of 3. I started mfp on December 5th 2011 at 207 lbs. I am currently 180 and my current goal is 155. Feel free to add me.

They look awesome. I am trying the stuffed shells. I used to make them with mozzarella, ricotta, parmesan, and sauce. I can't even imagine the calories.

This sounds great! How many servings does it make and do you have the nutrition info?

1st at 22, 2nd at 25, and 3rd at 28. My parents were a little older when I was born and I felt like they were out of touch with me so I wanted to have kids when I was young. That was just my experience though. I think you should have kids whenever you feel ready be it 20 or 40. Enjoy this time with your hubby. You are…

Awesome link. I bookmarked it on my phone under "craving saver" Thanks.

Thanks ladies. This has been the first time since joining that I have been so down. I appreciate all the wonderful advice and support.

I'm 5' 8, 182 lbs and I just started to fit into a 13/14 (Aeropostle) comfortably I started at 207 and size 16. I hold most of my weight in my tummy :-(

Have you taken any measurements? Sometimes the measuring tape is a better indication of your hard work then the scale. Also make sure you are drinking enough water.

Although it is best to avoid fast food, you can still eat it and lose. Your subway club was a good choice but the mayo was not. Also at bk you could have removed one our both of the buns or got a grilled chicken salad with a light dressing. You just have to learn how to make better choices. What I find helpful is to pre…

Don't try to compensate for the last 2 days. Eat the correct deficit today and from now on. Everyday is a new day and a fresh start.

I have actually heard that if your poop floats it means you are having a healthy movement. I don't really know much about Dr Oz, I haven't heard the greatest things about him. I think I will pick up some calcium supplements though. Thanks for the info.

Sometimes I get a pain in my right ovary while jogging. I have a history of ovarian cysts. I would talk to your dr about it at your next check up. If the pain gets to bad you should get it checked out sooner.
