What's next...alcoholic beverages especially all those frozen drinks! Really New York!

Wow what an awesome job. Your stats sounds similar to mine...started MFP at 190lbs in Jan 2012. I got stuck hovering around 155lbs. Just wondering what your routine is...how many calories, exercise & any other suggestions. Thanks & Congrats!

Yep I know what you're talking about ...I too wonder if it will even out. And the same thing if I was the size around my belly button I would be happy. Look like a permanent muffin top even when the waistband is comfortable. I guess time will tell.

Ooo would love to know too as I'm not a big veggie eater either. May have to google the book.

In a protein smoothie...there's a recipe floating around on this site called cake batter protein smoothie. I think it calls for about 1/2 C water, 1/2 C cottage cheese, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 6 g of sugar free vanilla pudding mix (or 1/2 t of vanilla extract), 1/8 t of almond extract, 2-3 packets of stevia(or…

Nice work...very motivating to get up & do something!

Biggest Loser Boot Camp with Bob Harper. Jillian's ok but I like the Biggest Loser's DVD better as they have real people who are also working/struggling to get in shape NOT professional trainers. Having real people demonstrate seem to motivate me more instead of the trainers as feel I never be able to be like them! Biggest…

:yawn: Going to bed it's 10:20pm where I live over in the Middle East! Night All.

Sounds like a good idea!

OK I'm in - love a good competition. I'll send a friend request & take a look at the spreadsheet...some knowledge of how they work & formulas.

Yep...she only does half the workout in the 30 Day Shred! Then she acts like it's way too tough for her to do. But I still like the workout.

Also was addicted to Jillian-had the love hate thing going with her! Got some good results too. Just to try something new as I get bored easily I tried the Biggest Loser Boot Camp with Bob Harper. LOVE the Boot Camp & I hate to say this but I think I see better results with the Boot Camp. But will probably go back to…

That's eating your TDEE. Total Daily Energy Expenditure= BMR + your daily energy (workout calories, housework calories, working calorie, etc). Yes that would be your maintenance calories but for some people who have been a very low calories (below BMR) find that when they first start to eat TDEE they actually gain weight…

Oops it posted twice :blushing: I'm 5'2" my starting weight was somewhere around 190+. I started in January 2012 and lost 33 pounds in 5 months. Hit a plateau and decided to do a metabolism reset so I'm still at 158 pounds. Set my weight loss at 1.5 lbs a week. I was doing about 2 workouts a day. DVD workouts (strength &…

I was going to post about this same topic yesterday but got sick. Anyway yes mine(Polar FT4) has been acting up. I'll get a ok heart rate check before I start my workout & then some times throughout it goes to "00" for a heart rate or I've also had it give me a heart rate of 200+. I wash mine after each use & I've readjust…

I'm sort of in the same situation. About 2 1/2 years ago my husband was offered a good job working oversea in Saudi Arabia so I quit my full-time career job, packed up the house & the kids and we moved overseas. We live on a company compound that sits right on the Persian Gulf so beautiful beach scenery, fitness trails and…

I have it & started last week. This week has been a bust so I'l be starting over again. I had done Juliann's 30 day shred before starting the Boot Camp and I enjoy the boot camp better! I'd love to share the journey...maybe that will keep me on track. Feel free to send me a friend request.

I made them with part-skim ricotta cheese as cottage cheese is hard to find where I live & they tasted really great.

I put in the similar recipe to calculate but came up with 405 calories. To reduce calories try a part skim(1-2%) cottage cheese and eliminate the banana. I made mine with a 2% cottage cheese and no banana. I did put in some Splenda Brown Sugar blend to add some sweetness and the entire batch was only 405 calories. Try…

I will finally finish up the 30 Day Shred after only 2 months...there were times I needed to take a day or two off. But I made sure I did each level for at least 10 days (level 1 & 2 I think I did more than 10 days 'cause I felt I wasn't ready for the next level). Definitely better looking arms & legs. My mid section still…

Congrats...I know the feeling when I finally hit the 180's.

Bump to add to my recipe file...later.

Bump to add to my recipe file.

I love to bake & I'm very good at it too, unfortunately! So I bake 'cause it's my love but the staff at my son's middle school enjoys my tasty treats & it's a way for me to say "Thank You" for their hard work & dedication. The best of both worlds. :flowerforyou:

I've too had several "Dear...". Well said!

This is where people think I live... But this is actually where I live (our fitness trail)... Ras Tanura, Saudi Arabia

Bump for later. Looks awesome...need to try some out!

Finally made this tonight & it was AWESOME! I had mentioned to my son what I was making for dinner & he turned his nose up so I put a regular crusted pizza in for him. So when the pizza came out I cut him a small slice...he tried it & then wanted my cauli-crust pizza instead of his regular crust. Thank you so much for…

I'm from the U.S. but currently living overseas in Saudi Arabia. We live right on the Persian Gulf although we don't have the right waters for surfing but many other water activities which require a swim suit...and my body was in no shape for a swimsuit. I started MFP in January 2012 although I have a gym available I not…
