I'm really bad with TOM, I crave salty one minute and then sugar the next. It's like my cravings are bipolar. Lol!

Yep you definitely have a little devil on your shoulder. :laugh: LOL!

That's awesome! I personally would just like to loose at least 15 lbs for the gym competition this June as to anything else not sure just yet. :wink:

You need to give yourself some time to recuperate after such a surgery the outside might seem like it's healed but on the inside it takes a bit more time. As for toning the tummy, sprints work really great. They not only tone your legs, and bum, but also your core.

Just added you :smile:

I can't give up carbs either because I'll also binge eat. And it will be with all kinds of sweets. So I don't give up my carbs I just try to control how much I consume. I'm not perfect at it but I'm still learning. :wink:

Added you. :smile:

Here for support, I just added you. :smile:

Request sent.

I'm also lifting and find that helps out better with the weight loss no so much on the scale but my jeans fit better, and that's better than what any dumb old scale says. LOL!:wink:

Just added you. :smile:

Congratulations on your weight loss.

I think that you should try it for a couple of weeks to see how it goes if it's not the weight loss you expect then lower the intake or adjust the activity level on MFP. You might have to run around two children but it also depends on your metabolism. There are other websites that you could check on the calorie intake for…

Why not ask your doctor, or nutritionist? I think that way you know for sure.

A good diet and exercise. Since I've started at the gym and modified my diet I've noticed an improvement on the appearance of my legs.

Hi, you should check with your doctor first on your fat % before you try to loose weight. The problem with dieting and not lifting weights is that you normally will burn your muscle mass. You might not need to loose weight but to tone, remember that you aren't exactly over weight you may have to adjust your diet as in less…

Look at it this way; So you want to grow old in a wheel chair, because your weight ruined your knees and back? Do you want to your children or grandchildren to ask you why you are in that wheel chair, and will you answer them honestly? I know this may be harsh but it's a reality. I had a grandmother that she was so over…

Best of luck! Just don't give up and you'll see the changes.:smile:

Hello! Once you start shedding those pounds you'll see that the high blood pressure will also go down, that happened for my mom, she was about 200 lb and she's only 5'. After she lost about 30 lb the doctor was able to lower her blood pressure medication to half which was great, she's now around 140 - 150 and has mantained…

Hi there and welcome. I would like to let you know that the slim-fast shake is a way to start, but keep in mind that you won't be drinking slim fast the rest of your life. Try healthier, and leaner versions of what you eat, that way you could stick to those meals without feeling deprived. I make a 3 egg white + 1 whole egg…

That's awesome! You have great will power! My hats off to you! :drinker:

Don't stress over it, sometimes mother nature likes to mess with us. Our menstrual cycle will make us retain water and just mess with our scale :wink: Just give it time, you've made awesome progress, just keep it up and you'll see how that weight keeps coming off.

Hi, what I've seen of your diary is that you aren't really eating 1200 calories to sustain yourself you're eating less and your body might not be letting you loose them because of that. Also do you jot everything down, I mean the teeny tiny bites that one thinks don't really count but when you add them up they actually…

You have shown that If we want it bad enough there is no excuse big enough. My hats off to you :flowerforyou:

I want to be able to run again, I understand how you feel on how running liberates your stress and clears your mind. Since I used to be a track and field athlete I feel frustrated that I can't do the same as before. I used to just warm up with a mile, now I can't even run it completely without stopping and walking some of…

I love pizza, but what I do is limit myself. I'll drink a large glass of water and a salad with no dressing, (if you must have dressing just ask for the dressing on the side and dip the fork in it and then eat the greens), and then just one slice of pizza. I try to be strict with myself in terms that if I don't control it…

You could try walking every day and progressively adding 5 to 10 min each week. If 30 minutes feels too much to start off with try 15 to 20 and progress from there. The idea is that you start no matter how little but that you start and keep going.

I've tried the GNC Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60 in vanilla and chocolate and they are really good, since I'm watching my calorie intake I mix them with water and only one scoop which is 93 calories and 20 g of protein and it's not hard on the stomach like some others. PS. The chocolate is awesome !

I'v actually tried Splenda, Same, Equal and I get the same reaction so I think there might be something in common between them not sure of the chemical make up, but I tried Stevia and just felt nauseas afterwards. So for me only the real stuff. Oh by the way also Truvia which is in the Bryer's yogurt found it was used in…
