Did you get your answer yet? I have been using my HRM on Week 1 and I have been getting around 325 calories. It does vary some based on age, weight, etc. If you don't have an HRM, I highly recommend one!

We add different meats. Whatever we cook up on the weekend in bulk is what we add in. Sometimes it might be taco meat, chicken, pork, beef. I also make my own dressings using a variety of citrus, italian seasoning, and olive oil. You could add fruits (mandarin oranges, beets, apples, pears, strawberries, blueberries,…

Funny...Many of the women I work with have joined WW since Jan. There are a few of us who are doing the MFP way. Those of us who are doing MFP feel better about food and overall seem happier with life. I feel like this is a lifestyle change and NOT a DIET as opposed to those who are doing it with WW. I am also glad that I…

You may add me. Full time working mother of 3 young children.

Me neither. My mother was overweight almost my whole life. My mother in law has been too. I see them unable to play with the grandkids, breaks my heart. I don't want to be like that. I also don't want to see my health prematurely deteriorate. So I am taking control of my life and giving my kids a better future. Please feel…

That is how I started, then I began eating "clean" more fresh fruit and veggies and whole grains. What is all boils down to is calories in/calories out in order to keep up a deficit. Ultimately it takes 3500 calories to make up one pound. So if you have a deficit of at least 3500 for the week, then you should lose at least…

I feel ya! I am not excited about exercising one bit. The motivation I have is looking better and right now seeing results on the scale. I know that the scale isn't everything but while I still have much weight to lose it will work for now. I am 37 from MI and work full time with 3 young children. I joined 1-1-12 just like…

You can still eat clean and boost your calorie count. Eating things like hard boiled eggs, avacado, bananas (those are around 100 calories but still healthy).

You look amazing! I love your hair cut! A whole different you, I am sure you feel great! Keep it up.

I would really love a twin too!!!

Raspberry Vinegarette Light Ranch if you have to

OMG!!!!!!!!!!! You lost all 3 of my kids combined!!! Way to go! You have A LOT to be proud of, keep up the good work!

I am having the same problem. I tend to be over in sugar every day. I do wonder how much of an impact this makes while trying to lose weight.

My stats: Start Weight: 200 Current Weight: 194 Goal Weight: 140 Height: 5'6" Age: 37 Clothes Size: pants 16/shirt XL Favourite Exercise: walking

I have found wearing my pedometer really keeps me aware of how much I am moving. Every step counts! I aim for my 10,000 steps every day. I even where it when I work out. Keep tracking your food. I got a food scale and use the mobile MFP app which helps a ton. I also stick to mainly foods that are grown (meats, veggies,…

Thanks! That's what I was thinking. So maybe I will get the Link. I see you are using Turbo Fire. How do you feel about it? I have limited time for a work out, would I be able to use this?

Bump

Thanks cj! I have added you. My biggest struggle is finding time to exercise. I wake up at 5 am so I have time to get every thing ready for the day, leave the house by 7 with 3 kids ready to go to school. My husband is not around in the AM to help. I am going to try to get up at 4:30am to workout 3 days a week. Will have…

You can add me. I have 50 to lose and need to do it for healthy, family reasons as well.
