1 pound of lean beef or turkey 1 egg white 1/2 cup of quinoa 1 tsp garlic Onion Salt/Pepper (or garlic salt) Any other spices you like I add all the ingredients and separate them into 4 oz balls. My meatloaf is more like giant meat balls. That way I have a good idea of how many calories are in it. I switched bread…

I love having new friends! Please feel free to add me. I love talking to some of the very nice people I have met here. I like to hear your stories and successes. I like to offer information, ideas, and support too! I still have a little ways to go. :)

Feel free to add me. I am fairly active, and I try to give support and motivation to friends.

I agree, lifting might make you feel better about your appearance. I was looking a pictures when I first started, and people can weight more, but look smaller and more amazing just because they lift and strengthen their muscles.

I have lost 78 pounds, and all of my clothes started falling off. I had to buy new ones and they fell off too. Normally, I do not see myself as the much smaller person than I was. I feel kind of in awe and a little strange wearing non-plus sized clothing. I went to a store the other day, and all the women there helped me…

I hold water weight for about a week before quickly dropping a few pounds.

When I was pregnant, I wanted a funnel cake soooo bad. I craved those evil things for months. I was not able to find them! I log everything I eat and I weigh all my food. Anyone can add me as a friend. I am active on MFP every day.

I have browsed through the forums before and noticed some of the negativity. I suppose it is because everyone is different and everyone has success different ways. People think their way is the best when it may not be the best way for someone else. I like to hear the different thoughts and opinions of everyone, but I wish…

My food scale is my weight loss best friend forever. I did not realize I would need it everyday!

I take supplements for nutrition, energy, and support. Nothing "makes" me lose weight. My own hard work, will-power, and self control do. However, I do notice a huge difference in how I feel when I take them and when I do not. However, I was talking about when I was on a 3-week plateau. I was working hard, eating right,…

I went about 3 weeks without shedding a pound. I was so mad! I had just started taking a new brand of supplements and was rocking my exercising too. All of a sudden, bam! I lost 5 pounds in a row. I know I get water retention, and my weight loss slows for a while. Then it flushes out and I drop 2 pounds. You could also try…

Nobody said anything about my weight loss for a very long time. When I got sick one day someone freaked out because they noticed I lost quite a lot of weight. I think they thought I had some sort of illness. lol. People see me and tell me how great I look now. People who have not seen me in a few months do not recognize…

Hi Carrie! I still have over 50 pounds to lose! I would love to run a marathon beside my brother one day. I will add you as a friend!

I have been using MFP for for several months! I would love to find new friends! Go ahead and add me.

Peanut butter, bananas, and whole grain bread? A small turkey you can use for several days?

I love it. I did not try the 24-day challenge, but I use a lot of the other products for various reasons: energy, health, and weight loss. It does get expensive, but if you become a distributor you get a discount. Every advocare representative I have met has been very passionate about the products because of how it has…

I used to loathe exercising! It was such a chore, and I was always so tired! I started by purchasing Just Dance 2014 for my daughter and we played it together. After I started feeling good from exercising, I decided to try other things! Now I run, walk, use machines, and still dance with my daughter. Also, I feel great…

Hi everyone! I am 35 (have and 8 yr old little girl), and I still want to lose over 50 pounds! I do not have any MFP friends yet, so it would be nice to talk to other people about their journey.

I usually ask for a box when I order a meal I know I will not finish. If they look at me funny, I tell them how much weight I lost! I have never been denied a box, so go ahead and ask!

I love to go out and eat! Here are a few of my tips/tricks: Instead of fries, I choose a plain baked potato. I check calories before I go into the restaurant. I only choose restaurants that have items for me. I always order dressings/condiments on the side. I ask for "no cheese" and avoid bread on the table. I eat half the…
