Same here. I'm back from a year-long break after an injury and doing WW with my mom in the interim. Y'all can all add me :)

I'm Nancy, 42, live in Florida. Need to lose about 100 lbs. I did well here for awhile, suffered an exercise injury and used that as an excuse to fall off the wagon completely. Joined Weight Watchers with my mother, I did okay but it's kind of expensive. So I'm back here looking to picking up where I left off. Except all…

Same here. Started awhile back, fell off the wagon. Trying to crawl back on. Anyone is welcome to add me!

I have the exact same problem and although I fail to follow my own advice frequently, at least I have, over time, been able to identify the cause and solution. When I plan out my day either in the morning, or the night before, and I enter everything I can eat within my allotted calories, I stick to it better. I do better…

Re: the squats.... I would do body-weight squats until the cows come home. I can squat more, but I weigh enough that my body weight is MORE than sufficient to give me a good strength AND cardio workout (my heart rate gets up higher with BW squats than anything I do with dumbbells. I echo the guy who commented before. When…

Different reasons over time. In my younger life, depression. In my early married years it was staying home with young kids. In my working days it was eating in front of the TV at night. When my thyroid stopped working, that added some more. When I "semi-retired" it was boredom eating. In all my life I've tried every diet…

Feel free to add me as well. I used to have 100 lbs to lose (or 100 was my first goal) but I'm down 32 lbs now so I've got a little less than 70 to go. I'd be happy to share any information, experience or encouragement I've gleaned along the way. P.S. To the people whining about her "coat hangar" comment ... if the OP…

Ha! I have three jobs, but not all at the same time. I'm a baker by day, a sportswriter by night and I also do foreclosure inspections.

Cottage Cheese Ambrosia 2 cups FF cottage cheese Sugar-Free Lime gelatin mix (1 box) 1 cup crushed pineapple 1 cup drained mandarin oranges 1 container FF cool whip Mix all together ... a 1 cup serving is only 193 calories (30g carbs, NO FAT, 13g protein, 1g fiber) Of course that's based on the stuff in my store and almost…

Wonder if half that sugar could be stevia or splenda. I know you need some for the moisture it creates when it melts, but ... I'd sure love to knock some of those net carbs down.

I love it! It doesn't taste exactly like regular peanut butter... the consistency is a bit different, but it is very yummy and I spread mine on rice cakes for a mid-afternoon snack that doesn't kill my calories for the day. BTW... from a health food store, I got my first jar of PB2 for about $6.... but if you get it from…

I post my exercise and weight losses on FB (through MFP). I have friends on both sites that support me and I enjoy letting my real-life friends and family know how I'm progressing, since most of them are vividly aware that I'm overweight. If your friends were worth worrying about, they would be supporting you. If if they…

PB2 undergoes a process that removes the oil. Peanut flour does not. The difference would be in the calories and fat content.

Go ahead and ask all you like. Don't let the mega jerks tell you to spend the day searching to see what people thought two weeks ago. There are new people on every day with new thoughts, ideas, and opinions. Honestly, everything has probably been asked at least once. So ignore the self-appointed forum police and feel…

bump ... I have this problem, too. As in bag of chips with mac n cheese chaser (or rather mac n cheese with brownie chaser). Anywho, looking forward to reading later and picking some very fine brains!!
-
I don't when I'm wearing jeans because every time I bent down my panties ride up ... and stay there until I dig them back out. But I do wear underwear to the gym for 2 reasons: first, I have cottage cheese *kitten* and its noticable in nylon running shorts or thin cotton shorts. Second (TMI warning), I have been known to…
-
My advice: see another doctor. Minus the injury, I had the same "law defying" experience a few years ago. Was the same general weight for 20 years, then all of the sudden I gained 30 lbs in a year. Saw a doc. Blood test. You're fine, come back in 6 months. Six months later, now 45 lbs up from my normal weight (no change in…

You. Can't. Spot. Reduce.

LMAO... this!

I just bought some sports bras last night... there are definitely two different types. The kind meant to be worn as underwear (thin, hides nothing, eye-protection only) and the kind that are meant to be worn as a top (spandex or some thicker material, holds it all together well... no visible nips!) Honestly, I wouldn't…

Hope you find someone who's been through the same thing. In the meantime I can tell you that my TSH was extremely high for the 2 weeks between when my thyroid was removed and when the pathology reports came back that I was clear to start taking the levothyroxine. The only thing I really, really noticed about that period…

Me, too! This whole journey has been a bunch of trial and error. I've found that losing weight and getting fit is a VERY individual experience. What works for you may not work for me and vice versa. But no matter what kind of diet or exercise each of us chooses for ourselves, we ALL need support! Sent you a request, and…

I think what he's saying is to figure out your TDEE accurately, then don't eat back exercise VS marking as sedentary in MFP and then eating back the calories in the database, which are oftentimes way off. My issue is with how you figure out your TDEE correctly. This one seemed the most fine-tuned, but it also seems kind of…

^^^This! I hope you get your question answered. I can't wait to read the response. (Except I'm a bit heftier and am eating at 1,700 cal plus exercise calories after raising it and changing my protein to 40% prior to starting a free weight program. But I've had the same stall. Two weeks, no loss on scale or tape measure.…

I'm having the same problem. I gained a few pounds when I started strength training regularly with heavy weights instead of the circuit machines with cardio mixed in. I upped my calories to 1,700 and changed to a 40% protein macro ratio. But I haven't lost any inches or weight in 2 weeks, so for me it's not about getting…

Whoa! I consider myself a pretty sharp tack, but could someone translate that into "Fitness for Dummies" language for me? It sounds like it could be really fascinating, if I could only understand it, lol.

I quit one year ago. The reason people gain weight when they quit is because they eat to keep their mouth and hands busy. I chewed on cinnamon sticks. They are like wood, but yummy, lol. You can chew them for HOURS and they dry out and you can chew 'em again later or the next day. Anytime you would reach for a cigarette,…
