What you experienced is not uncommon. I've read/ learned/ studied a boat load about artificial sweeteners since 2006. Aspartame is the WORST! There have been soooooooooo many health problems resulting from that stuff. I only use a dash of stevia on occasion in my tea - natural, no calorie, doesn't alter blood sugar, etc. I…

Umm... "Exercise isn't going to do it." ... Are you on crack? Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge advocate for eating well. I'm pretty sure I eat better than anyone I know personally right now. But exercise is HUGELY important.

I don't understand this diet fad either if you don't have a medical reason to be gluten free - as long as what you are consuming is healthy in the first place of course. I did start getting a couple gluten free items the past couple months though, like bread. Only because I don't like eating processed carbs with a bunch of…

I tried it back in 2006 - the 1st time I gained weight - for about 6-9 months. I gained weight - I know I didn't lose any for sure. Once I learned/ started learning about nutrition, I realized Slim Fast was crap - both nutritionally & as a weight loss aid. I changed my eating habits & lost 17lbs in about 4 months just by…

This is interesting to learn - I've heard of Topamax (my mom was prescribed it once) but I hadn't looked much into it. Thank you for sharing. I have somewhat a history to B&P that I've only dealt with on my own, & probably could never be anorexic if I wanted to. I like to sleep & usually don't have a lot of energy anyway…

Hi mhixxie! I'm on here every day now so we can help each other stay motivated. :) I had planned to lose 2lbs/ week but just lost 1 in 2 weeks so far. I do notice a difference in my body already though from exercising so that's encouraging at least.

^ You just reminded me that I got a jump rope about a year ago & I don't think I've used it yet lol. Maybe I'll try & find it tomorrow & do it for the Daily Challenge. :smile:

I'm guessing this is the Asian chick in the videos that seems way too happy to be jumping up & down for 40 minutes?

3pm? Geez... I don't even start eating until like 2pm...

LOL!!!!! Oh that was a good laugh at 3am... Anyway, I'm on week 3 & I love it even though it's hard as hell. I'm pretty sure I forget half the English language including my own name by the time I get to 10-15minutes left of the workout. And definitely go at your own safe pace, especially in the beginning. Or you'll end up…

I just eat it out of the container. :)

Hi there! I'm 5'2" & just started using MFP a few weeks ago. Currently 154 wanting to get back down to 110 now that I can exercise again. I eat pretty healthy & started a group to try & help motivate & support friends on here: "We Are Awesome!" <--- search group. And trying to post daily challenges to keep myself & friends…

Hi there! I'm 5'2" & started using MFP about 3 weeks ago & on every day. Currently 154 want to get back down to 110. I eat pretty healthy & usually about 1,250cals/day. Just started being able to exercise again this month so I try to most days for around 45mins. Feel free to add me too!

Ok creepy guy with 2 posts, 1 asking ladies what they wear to work out & the other requesting pics. You & your non-profile can leave now.

Umm, where did I say clean eating ensures health? Oh wait, I didn't. I said it's good to look at the quality of calories you're consuming as opposed to flat out quantity. Ideally, a person would want to eat healthy to feel healthy too. It's not black & white, but I'd bet $100 on black that I'd feel like crap if I ate for 3…

The only reason I can imagine a person putting someone down for doing something positive is because they're bitter they can't do it themselves.

154 right now...

For the love of god please stop talking about McD's, the thought of it makes me feel like I'm going to throw up. >.<:sick: It's good to look at the QUALITY of calories than the QUANTITY - what's a few pounds off the scale if I still look & feel like crap? I want to be healthy & feel amazing! Wouldn't you? I eat pretty darn…

I haven't yet but I'm planning on it. Will probably lose a size - size&1/2.

I was pretty much bed ridden for about 2 years, & the only time I got up was to go to the bathroom & shower. And I did laundry about once every week & 1/2 - which was actually some exertion for me. Definitely would be fine eating < BMR.

Daily Challenge for Friday February 1st: Add 10-15mins of a workout you don't normally do & post it here. Extra stretching? Weights? Dance around your living room? Some weird yoga poses?

I don't log vitamins or water. Things that I sometimes do/ sometimes don't are 0 calories: tea, vinegars, stevia (I put a dash in my tea sometimes)... That's about it... Oh, & if someone goes "Here try this" and I have a bite.

BMI was 31%, now it's 28.something. I want to get it under 20%, like 17%, but I'll be happy with 19%. I don't have a large frame, but my structure is wide (shoulders & hips have always been that way.)

^ If you don't mind ingesting a boat load of chemicals in liquid form. Vinaigrettes are usually 25-35 cals per serving. Raspberry is usually my fav, but I use balsamic vinaigrette a lot too.

My 3 will be: Hello - Martin Solvang, Crazy in Love - Beyonce, Feel So Close - Calvin Harris

Not all fats are created equal. Some are good, some are bad. Might want to have a chat with him about different kinds of milk since it got brought up. I drink rice milk, but a lot of trainers suggest almond milk. Both are good options, just depends what your needs & wants are.

I would definitely not be complaining if I lost 7 lbs in a month. I only lost 1lb the past 3 weeks while eating practically perfectly & began exercising 5xs/ week.

Tried it about a year &1/2 ago for the full trial time. Didn't work at all. And I used it religiously during the trial.
