what about cottage cheese. I was drinking a fair amount of milk but now I only use milk in cereals and my iced capps. yogurt the odd time or when in smoothies

I love it. I tried the class in a gym setting but my knees can't handle the twisting and turning. BUT... I found Aqua Zumba at my town's Sport Facility. I found it awesome. You can shake your booty as much as you want without feeling conscious since your lower half is under the water. Jiggle,Jiggle :laugh:

:smile: Man, not too many maritimers . I myself am from Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. We are such a big place that at the widest part it is 16km from the North Shore to the South Shore. Big Huh! :wink:

your weight can fluctuate day to day but also during the day. As far as I know you are at your lightest in the morning and heaviest in the afternoon. Even taking your weight after a workout you will weigh heavier ! I weigh myself a lot BUT I do have the expectation of the fluctuations.

When you do go out alternate, one alcoholic, one not. Best bet would be water with ice and go with garnishes like lemon/lime wedges. Maybe a cherry or two. Dress it up asa much as you can, try to trick your mind into thinking wow this is a kickass drink. That's all I got. But at some point I am sure you will be think…

not necessarily what was said but when i was in jr. high in class in front of the whole class one of the bigger a@@'s took a yard stick and measured my rear end when i was sitting down and yelled out the number for everyone to hear. let's just say it was not a good day

is there a way to copy this into my recipes? Or do I have to write everything out?

Are you exercising as well? I started Jan. 5 and I have lost just over ten lbs so far. I am doing alot more exercisingthan before. In regards toyour caloric intake you don't want to cut it down any further because MFP already started you at a 500 calorie deficit and if you cut out too much you are doing more harm than…

:happy: I started a few days after you and I as well log in every day I love seeing people's thoughts, ideas and successes. I have 90lbs to lose but I have lost a little over ten so far. Your welcome to add me as a friend:smile:

Hi, I use kraftcanada.com alot. They have very sinful recipes but also very good recipes. I as well look for the quick ones and there are a lot I am actually doing one right now. Enjoy

Great Job you look wonderful

I started at 259 and I lost 11 lbs so far. I notice subtle differences, my daughter I think is quietly cheering for me she is the only person who has noticed anything so far. She knows how I feel about all the extra crap (fat) on me and wants it off me as much as I do so I can be happier person. I can't wait until I can…

My knees can't handle the twists and turns of a regular zumba class. so i do the aqua zumba, i am sure i dont't burn as many calories as i would in a regular class but it is awesome, great music, great teacher and i will end up with great everything else with its help:laugh:

Yes I am 5'11" and he is about 5'7" so automatically there I would be heavier but with all this "wonderful" extra weight I am carrying I am around 90 lbs heavier. We are the odd couple that is for sure. Even when I reach my goal I will still be heavier than him but we will both love how I look and take great aadvantage of…

As simple and small of a thing as going through a turnstile, I myself am looking forward to not having to turn sideways to get through. 8 lbs down 80 more to go.

I live in Canada and there are many ways to get help when needed. She just has to do something about it. She just wants the easy way which is you since you have rarely denied her before. You and your fiancee are trying to build your own lives and you need your own money for that. As hard as it is say no and let her figure…

my trainer told me it is always better to weigh yourself before workouts because with working out you end up weighing heavier.

Hi, Our scale is out all the time so I check it numerous times a day. BUT I know that my weight is going to flucuate many times and even drinking a bunch of water will affect it so I just do it for interest's sake. For my main weighing I do it in the mornings I always like that number better. With how well I am doing right…

to horrorchix89- you may have taken a lot of preparation for this photo but you are absolutely beautiful. Your face is so bright and full of life ! As another pal said noone is ugly there is someone for everyone. If you aren't one person's cup of tea than you are the next one's. Don't surround yourself with people that…

Congratulations !!!!! I really liked how you compared it to a bag of dog food. What did your success come from more? Better nutrition, exercise or much more of both?

I do a few things. I wait awhile to see if i am actually hungry because that is part of the reason why I look the way I do right now. I try to have some water first to see if that will satisfy my hunger pang. But if I have some calories left I will try to find something that will not affect my numbers. Or I brush my teeth…

Congratulations that's a great way to start and I'm glad you know that it wil slow down and that you will have to compensate everything for that slow down so your success will continue. Good Luck

I'm sorry you have to deal with someone like that. Regarding your poems I can understand how you would feel that way.When your father seems to constantly remind you of your downfalls.But I really hope you have a much more positive outlook of yourself.I would think you do since you are on MFP to better yourself. I would…

I live in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. It is really interesting to see where all of you live.

I would like to join this challenge. I will set it for 3500 weekly but hopefully be able to increase it within the month

It is almost like an addiction problem. You have to do it one day at a time, one meal at a time. The results will come. I just started a few weeks ago and MFP has helped tremendously on holding myself accountable for what enters my mouth and if it will go to my hips or not. Good Luck with your journey, just remember there…

Congratulations ! I can't wait till I achieve my goal of 90 lbs. I only started MFP a few weeks ago and I am amazed at how great it is. I am accountable for everything and it's great to see it right in your face. Congrats once again

Congratulations, you look wonderful. I bet you have enjoyed a few shopping sprees since you have lost all that weight. How many days a week have you worked out to get you to where you are today ?

Hi, brand new to the website, and I am definitely in ! My goal is to lose 90 lbs. But I haven't gotten into the nitty gritty of timelines yet. That is my weekend task. I know I am not the only one in the world who is overweight but it is definitely nice to see and hear other people having the exact same struggles as I…
