  • figured since it is only supposed to be cheese curds it shouldn't have anything extra. i really hate buying anything with extra fat in it but now for me sodium intake is way more important.
  • the ones we have bought they have been 34 grams also if it's like the bulk barn they usually have nutritional info on the description board
  • yeah i'm pretty sure we are all the same color only goes skin deep so i've heard. all your idea about black body image is cultural which is completely fine! me personally i want to get rid of all my jiggles and excess. if you think you are beautiful where you are than that is all that matters, right !! and if you think…
  • let me just say thankyou right now
  • congrats that is a great nsv to gauge your success thus far. I still can't do boy-style but with the help of my fit camps, aqua zumba and then my routines on opposite days I find I can do more proper pushups with nose hitting the floor. Great Work
  • thank you for your insight on this. you describe it a bit easier and that it is possible. thankfully i've never had to deal with something like that. hopefully it is only short term for people to be on that kind of diet. But one question- do you take all your nutrition through supplements? i can't see you getting even…
  • how is it possible to get the proper nutrition you need at such a low intake. i'm feeling faint just reading your post !! i probably did that low years ago but just out of stupidity. you are right to second guess their plan for you. I think the way you are going about it is great. doing what feels good to you. see what an…
  • Everything that everyone else has said plus I'm sure at least one of you have a phone that can do video. Noone can deny when it is being shown on video. Higher ups NEED to know what they are promoting . I don't really think they want a dumbass piece of s&*% representing your company. Stick it to him but make sure you have…
  • Protein is what helps rebuild your muscles after exercise and a big factor in helping you lose weight because it is a great energy source for your body to feed off. I hope I am explaining it properly. If I'm not I'm sure someone will correct me but overall concensus would be don't limit your protein. Even carbs and fat…
  • Welcome ! You definitely are in the right place to get healthier and lose weight. I am only going to be brief because I know the more knowledgable pals on here will tell you the in's and out's. With feeding your body only 600 cals a day your body wants to hold onto all of it because it thinks it is in trouble. In order for…
  • It is tough I know. But the way I deal with the REALLY down times is; Each pound I lose is a pound that is gone for good. As I've heard many times before from others 'you didn't gain all that weight in a short period time so you are not going to lose in a short period of time. I've been really slow if not back tracking a…
  • Every time I see you post I am blown away at the progress you have made. You look through and through happy with yourself and your body and that's very great to see. P.S. I still find it different hearing about people wanting to GAIN weight ! lol I almost want to 'grumble, grumble' but I shut myself up and realize that…
  • I do Aqua Zumba for the same reason. My knees especially my left can't handle the jumps and the quick knee twists. But in the water it is completely different. I can do everything but if I did have water shoes I might have better grip on the pool floor. With Aqua Zumba and all the other bits of exercise I have been doing…
  • wow thank you ever so much. Now i just have to figure out how to keep it in 'my topics' permanently or just try and remember them. Thanks Again
  • Did you book a sidewalk with the kids yet?? You look great ! Keep at it!
  • If MFP set your daily cals to 1400 than you should be eating that much. Not sure if you know this but the MFP program already sets you at a 500 calorie deficit. So even if you just followed the calories with no exercise you would still lose a bit of weight each week. Hope this helps you because I remember the years of not…
  • 41lbs since january
  • i wouldn't shy away anymore either ! you look absolutely beautiful ! i bet a lot of your students have commended you on your success !
  • Congrats and good luck on getting into body fitness competitions you can do it!
  • Congratulations !
  • Have you looked at the exercise database ? It has all regular day stuff like cleaning and what you do as everyday stuff like hiking etc... I figure why not include things like that, if it makes you work like you are working out- heart rate up, sweaty etc.. you are burning calories. So even though it's not "exercise" it…
  • Congratulations on your journey thus far! I completely get you with the motivation waning. I've been having that for awhile now and if my weight doesn't move or goes up I get right down BUT as you said I'm not giving up, I'm not gaining this weight back, I'm not stopping until I am at my final goal and I am happy with how…
  • I'm not sure if anyone is familiar with this but I live in Canada and work at Tim Horton's. Similar to Dunkin's or Robin's. I've worked there for 14 years now. It sucks to put it bluntly. Donuts, timbits, cookies all within arms reach. The healthy stuff takes too long to make ( 30 secs ) I'm a manager so I rarely get time…
  • No one on here should lecture you. Pretty sure you do that well enough yourself. Believe me I still do! I would try and do all of your exercise and most if not all of your eating before he gets home. Than when he wants to eat junk you could focus on drinking your water which will fill you up or a healthy snack so you don't…
  • log everything because even though they are healthy they still add up quickly. For example grapes, can't remember cal amount but serving was like 12 grapes and it was much higher than i expected! I assume the natural sugar content makes the no. so high. I was unsure of MFP's #'s so i checked on 3 or 4 other websites and…
  • great work! i especially love your arms :smile:
  • you are right ! i'm a bit on the fence. i look at both. if i don't see the scale move i try and see if there is a change in my body shape. which is usually the case but if not it means i have to kick my butt into a higher gear.
  • Wow great work, you look soooooo much healthier. Good for you. I'm sure your kids think it's awesome too!!:wink:
  • i do it quite often; every morning to get my daily true weight and numerous times throughout the day just to see how much it fluctuates but it doesn't upset me like it may others. i see if i am doing well or that i may have to increase my water intake. my weigh-in day is every wednesday am. it may seem like i dwell on it…
  • i've said this numerous times. when i go online this is my homepage. there is always something being discussed and you see many people's opinions on it good/bad. absolutely love it. i just started on facebook a few months ago and i really don't see the point of it. oh well, to each his own
