I usually say that I've just eaten but thanks for the offer....

I like to grill a chicken breast and slice it up and put it in a wrap with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, peppers and then drizzle it with bruschetta salad dressing. So yummy. If you put the dressing in a small container the wrap stays nice and fresh.

You can never beat yourself up for having an off day. A big part of losing weight is allowing yourself to indulge every once in awhile. If you don't allow for days like that, this will never work because it will become a chore and not something you are choosing to do. Rub your belly, put on your sweats and chill out and…

I'm in ! :happy:

Welcome to MFP !! I too had breast cancer, just last year. I opted to NOT take the pill and that is why I am here. A change in my lifestyle will go a long way towards preventing the cancer from coming back ! Here to help support you in any way I can !! Lynette

You are doing great and looking fantastic !! :happy:

OMG !!!! You are looking amazing !! What a change !! Keep up all your hard work because it is really paying off. :happy:

Change up your routine to help kick start things over again. Go by measurements not weight because you could be losing weight and building muscles at the same time and the scale wouldn't show the weight loss but your body is still getting smaller and tighter. :flowerforyou:

My daughter had shin splints when she played softball and they gave her a compression sock to wear.

I make a fat blaster shake with plant based protein powder. I saw it on Dr. Oz. It really helps. I make it as my breakfast. I t has the powder, sugar free juice, frozen fruit, flax seed, chia seeds and flaxseed oil. It really fills you up for 4-5 hours.

If you don't enough calories your body will go into starvation mode and you won't lose anything. If you arent hungry try eating things a little higher in calories but not fat (unless it's good fat). Try nuts .

I was initially inspired to join for my daughter. I wanted to be here and healthy for her as she grows into adulthood. But, no matter what it is that inspired us to join, the important thing is that you do it for yourself. You can not imagine how seeing yourself get smaller and healthier makes you feel. I have so much more…

I use them in my fat blaster protein shakes and they really do help to keep you full because they expand. I love them but they get stuck in your teeth...lol Don't buy the powder form though....get the whole seeds. They lose nutritional value when they are ground up and can't fully expand.

Great job !! Loved the pics !!

I think because the rest of our bodies are getting smaller it just feels like "the girls" are getting bigger ??? :blushing:

Ha...I LOVE it !! You have an evil sense of humor !! :devil:

OMG !!! You are amazing and beautiful !! Great work. You must be so proud of yourself !! You are an inspiration !!

There is a program called Couch to Marathon. It walks you day by day from being a couch potato to running in a marathon. It takes you in realistic steps.

All you can do is move on and start the new day fresh and back on track. Don't beat yourself up....we spend years abusing our health and it isnt going to change overnight.

I think you look great....too much smaller and you will look anorexic !! Congrats on your hard work !! :happy:

I am SO with you on this comment !!!

Hi....in total I am working towards a weight loss goal of 138 pounds. I am half way there !! Willing to support anyone who needs it because I know how much that support matters !!

I'm with dls....who cares if they notice...all that matters is that you know how hard you are working and that you feel good about yourself !! :flowerforyou:

I too have been stuck on a plateau for almost a year. I have recently started working with a trainer and he says I am not eating enough calories for the workouts I do. Maybe that is your problem?? He also said that sometimes when you stall at weight loss you need to gorge and then start all over again. Hope that helps…

I use Spiru-teen. Its a tri part plant based protein powder. It tastes pretty good. It comes in different flavors and then I add 1 cup frozen fruit, 1 cup sugar free juice or almond milk along with 1tbspn walnut oil, 2 tbspns chia seeds and 2tbspn ground flaxseed. It tastes great and keeps me full for a long time. But, I…

I would just count the whole thing....too hard to guess what you really ate.

Great job !! You look fantastic !!

My addiction is exercise. I just cant get enough of it. I'm always in search of some new class to try. I drive my family crazy by never wanting to rest !

they key is to find things that will fill you up and keep you full. I like protein shakes. You can change the flavors every day to suit your mood !!
