Are you using the web version? If so, you can track them! :) you just have to go to settings>diary settings and change the nutrients you want visible. You can choose 5. :)

:) Oops.

I've thankfully have not had anyone to tell me to hurry up. I guess it's just more stressed, not so much pressured, because it's not really society that is getting in my head. it's more of me hoping that I'll be able to and have the energy.

I know 28 isn't old. I've got a brother who already had his two and we both grew up without cousins we were close to. I'd of liked to change that for our kids, but... I don't know if that's going to happen. Not feeling as young as I once did too kind of concerns me. Am I even going to have the energy to do it crosses my…

First of all congrats! :) You look amazing! I hit my goal weight a year ago, but have put on 10 pounds sadly. When I hit my goal weight, I thought I needed to lose more. I wasn't content with being 135lbs; I still had stubborn belly fat, but now when I look back I can't believe I thought I needed to lose more weight. What…

I'd totally go to Academy, but I'm in SC right now where there isn't one near by! Just a ****'s, which is crazy expensive!

hard boiled eggs deli meat--- add cheese, mustard, lettuce, avocado...anything low carb that you'd like to make rolls. low carb tortilla w/ cheese fat reduced ritz ... 5 are 11g of carbs i believe... spread laughing cow cheese on it and/or tuna. quest bars... most have around 25 carbs, but have about 20g of protein as well.

Holly, I should of mentioned that those pictures are from last year. I was 135 pounds in those pictures at 5'6". I'd like to get back to that weight. I now weigh 145-147. I lost weight netting below 1200 calories and that's not the way I want to do it this time around. I got married Nov. 2012, didn't workout much the next…

Ok, okay... I'm getting that carbs aren't the issue... I did leave out that I was hitting the cardio machines like crazy, some days I'd spend almost two hours if I could. I was weight training, but it was minimal in comparison to the cardio I was putting in. I want to say that maybe I wasn't getting in the nutrients that I…

Ok this makes sense. Today I focused on my protein and fats more and I was left with more carbs than usual.

#1 Mustard!! :) #2 Chunky Salsa If I'm craving ranch dip, I'll get chobani plain greek yogurt and the ranch dressing dry mix and mix it up. Taste almost the same as sour cream to me. :)

Quest has a flat rate, so yes if you order 1 box or 5 boxes it'll be their shipping rate which is either 4.95 or 5.95. I always ordered my boxes from amazon.com though. If you spend 25 dollars or more, you get free shipping. :) I was really hoping to like the lemon one... I couldn't even eat more than half of it because I…

If you get your heart rate up high and then lower the intensity (walking) on the treadmill and your HR is decreasing fast, then you're probably getting in better shape. If it's taking a while to recover, then it's likely you're burning a lot of calories. I don't trust machines at all. I can get on a spin bike and it's…

I got down to 135 last year, but I weigh 142 now. No idea how I gained 7 pounds, I'd understand 2 or 3, because my body looks almost exactly the same. The first time I was 142 back in 2011, I wore a size 8, I wear a size 6 at this weight this time around. Last year I wasn't content around this weight at all and was aiming…

i move on and realize that it's not setting me back too much anyhow. Somedays I have calories left over (i try to net my brm or no more than 1490) so it sometimes just evens out. I've had several bad days throughout this weight loss journey and even lost weight sometimes. Some people find success with having one day where…

Mine are 14.5'' They haven't changed much at all. I've lost ~30lbs and I believe I only lost like half an inch in that area. It took a while to just accept them, but it doesn't seem like I can do much about it. Everyones bodies are different and some may be able to slim that area down, but like in my case, it's mainly…

I'm 5'6'' I've got thick thighs and calves, I've just had to learn to embrace them. They won't slim down. :( My goal was 130. However, I got down to 134 last year, but I'm back up to 142 and my measurements are the same. And since that's happened, I think I'm aiming to stay 135-140 and shape my body at that weight with…

I see others eating clean and seeing their stomachs look smaller after just a week. I just don't have it in me to eat 80-100 percent clean right now... I'm bloated majority of the time! :( BUT the thing that has helped with losing inches has been incorporating more strength training, lower, upper, and whole body, because…

I bought two bottles of the peanut butter flavor thinking I'd love it, maybe half of one is gone. :/ It was okay in shakes, but not so great on bread. Thankfully, I'm not really craving PB too much anymore that it isn't a big deal that I don't care for PB2 too much. :bigsmile:

YES YES YES i wish everyone would realize that inches > weight. I've been struggling with a plateau, very small changes with my weight and measurements, so it's frustrating that people are upset about not seeing weight changes, but still see inches. I'd love to see changes with my measurements and not weight! :bigsmile:…

I much rather lose inches than the numbers go down. I've worked out, ate the best I could, created a big enough deficit to lose weight, but the scale has not moved much since May for me .... and I've lost maybe only an inch, so if I saw the inches dropping instead of the weight, I'd be THRILLED! What's kept me going is…

maybe try to cut back on carbs a little? and get more protein in? I haven't been losing weight, but since I cut back on my carb (i use to eat over 200 not knowing) intake, increased my protein I've noticed visible changes in my body. I'd suggest your measure yourself...waist,bust,hips because if you're losing inches than…

Protein fills me up (chicken, eggs, tuna...). if you're on a diet with very little protein you may find it hard to feel full...at least I do. I drink protein shakes when I can't get all in my calories or prefer not to get them in with other foods, because my protein powder has very little carbs and fat...you can get some…

I have not lost but maybe a pound since May and I became frustrated with not losing weight, so I did more strength training. I've noticed I've lost body fat. I'd rather lose body fat than pounds now, but I think when you do strength training with cardio, you're going to be able to notice bigger changes with your body.…

the treadmill is how I lost most of my weight. Just put the incline to 1 percent at least ... heard chris powell say that if you don't have your incline at 1.0, then the treadmill is essentially walking for you. I would sometimes put my incline up just so that i was working out harder.

So far this week 1750 Last week:3622 haha, had no idea.... :) Guess I'm slacking a bit this week...only in comparison to last week.

squintana1979 pretty and pretty dress! :)

Hi! I'm 5'6' Heaviest Prior to MFP: 175-180 (back in 2006 ... kinda weird for me to admit these days) CW: ~134 Goal : around 130... really just trying to lose the stubborn fat. Struggling to lose any type of weight/inches though, maybe lost .5 at the waist and .5 of a pound since May :sad: .. it'd be great to find others…

I use to set my diary to private because i was ashamed i couldn't eat clean 100 percent of the time... but I log everything, good or bad! I'm only human. :)

Nike Training Club app! I love that app. I don't know if it's for android, but if you have an iPhone, I'd recommend it.
