you're going to love mine. as easy as they get. chicken breasts. 4-6 works well for me, in my 4qt crock salsa. usually 1-2 jars. 5-6 hours on low... but you really can't go wrong with this, as long as theres still liquid in the pot. shred it with 2 forks when it's done. tacos, burritos, rice bowls, etc YUM.

I like you, a lot. Keep rocking this, and show hypo who's boss!!

Water retention? What does your sodium look like? Also, when your muscles are sore they retain water. That could be it too. Just keep trucking! You can do this!

Honestly? I can't see it much in the mirror. I can see it a LOT when I compare pictures.

Yes, I do agree that 100 calories of fruit and 100 calories of candy are different. But if you go over your maintenence, you will gain. Whether it is fruit or candy. I think it's great that you've found something that works for you, but on a calorie counting website you should not go around telling people not to count…

This is not weight watchers. However, I think their plan is flawed. I've been trying to tell my mom for months that her 2-point fruit smoothie that she has before breakfast is nearly 300 calories. This is why she's stopped losing.

So basically what you're saying is that a large apple, a cup of strawberries, and a medium banana don't add up to 260ish calories and therefore eating them over your allotment doesn't matter? If you eat it, count it. It all matters. Edit to add: vegetables have calories too. A serving of broccoli is 35 calories. A serving…

This! I think I have more fun when I look like an idiot. You don't want to see me Zumba :)

Ive always been cold. My husband makes fun of me for it. I don't think it has anything to do with your weight, I was always cold even at my highest weight

Add me if you want! Planning on losing 125 pounds total

5'3" here SW: 270 and size 22/24 CW: 215ish and my 18s are a little loose but not enough to need a 16 Edit: 16s might fit me, but I refuse to pay money for more clothes until I need a 14

Mine is oxo brand from target. I want to say $20, but it could have been $30. I love it! The little screen pulls out too for when I have large items on it

5'3" here. Started at 270, down to 212.8. Feel free to add me! I like having active friends!

I learned to knit. Having something to do with my hands other than chip-to-mouth helps me a lot. Plus, I get cute scarves out of it.

If you're still losing and know they won't fit for long... Hit up goodwill. My current jeans are old navy and they were $8 :) I'm 5'3", and I like to buy expensive jeans at torrid. They're about $50, but you can get them in "short", which is nice. Hemming is such a small problem and so easy to fix, if you find jeans that…

Drink some water, and find something else to do with your hands- play a board game, learn to knit, read a book, etc. If you're truly hungry, eat a serving of something. And rethink your dinners so they last longer in your body!

I'm 5'3" and started at 270 too. I always took Zumba classes and used the elliptical, since treadmills make me dizzy. I don't think youre ever "too big" for something unless you literally can't fit on a machine. Take it easy and get your body used to moving at first, then push yourself more. Crawl before you run.…

Yup- that's exactly what you would track. Oatmeal Banana Brown sugar Cinnamon Chopped nuts Raisins It's a pain the first time, but next time you can add them quickly because they'll be commonly used foods for you. Sounds yummy!

Yeah I've been on the pill for 2 years and on MFP since January... The pill hasn't hurt my success at all.

5'3", lightly active, 215lbs I had it set to 1.5 a week, and I ate my exercise calories. My base was 1550. But I found it hard to meet that on my rest days, so now I have it set to 1 a week, 1800. And I still eat my exercise calories to keep my net AT LEAST 1200, preferably around 1500

MFP has it's protien goals far too low. Exceeding the default is good. :)

How many calories do you eat in a day? You need to eat close to your goal.

I got both of mine at target for $20-30 each. They've been working just fine for me :) And sometimes I lose like that too- nothing for weeks, then 2lbs out of nowhere. It happens.

Welcome!! How much are you eating? As long as you're eating most of your calorie goal, you'll be fine. I would see how another week or two go, and if you're still losing at that rate you might want to eat more :) And about the low fat- you do need healthy fats in your life! Things like olive oil, nuts/nut butters, avocado,…

MFP is a food diary. It's the same... I log everything I eat, and all my friends can see it.

Goodwill! Can't beat $7 jeans.

I've been on the pill for 2 years and haven't had any problems losing weight.

For snacks, I always have bananas, apples, unsalted nuts, peanut butter etc. on hand. You could also try yogurt(Greek or regular) or cheese sticks. I don't have huge problems with weekends, but my schedule is weird- I work weekends and am off work during the week. Someone else would be more helpful here :)

Yup, count it all. It doesn't go away.

Measure out a single serving and make sure it fits into your day/macros... And you can have ice cream every day.
