I hate to hear that hopefully I will learn from this one I just know I like not being hungry and craving

How do I friend the Ideal Protein Facebook Page please

I was concerned with the cost as well. I hate to say the cost because I don't know if its the same in all locations. I do know I don't go through Drive Thurs anymore and don't stop for snacks. I bring my lunch and other than the meal packets you will need to buy vegetables. I personally paid $350 for my 1st visit which…

Thanks good points to consider. Also it is so hot here and fluids may play into it.

Thanks so much

I have learned that MFP has been the best tool for me. I started in January 2012 and I'm now 40lbs thinner and 20lbs away from goal. The reason it is such a great tool is because if used properly you can't help but learn things about yourself. I started slow just attempting to keep in my caloric range, I went on to water…

I printed this out great tips and I llike your ticker. Thanks for the info

I have been with MFP a year and have found that I gradually incorporated all the elements for a healthier me. First I just tried to stay within my daily calories. This helped me find foods that I could grab in a rush. Veggie Chips, Carrot chips oh and so important. I had two packages of instant oatmeal every morning. I new…

I'm at around 1200 but also add back my exercise calories. Have lost 45lbs of 60 in exactly 1 year. This is the best tool ever. If you are patience and utilize it to it's fullest. That means exercise, water and nutrition. I don't do well at all on the water, and I have been straying alot lately since the holidays. But I…

I do have RA and I also have to take iron & folic acid. I dont know if that is what you were speaking about. Thanks for your comment.

Thanks so much I read what you suggested and I think it may be best to give my doctor a call. I would hate to trigger any readings that would call for more testing.

Merry, I think that is great wish I would have thought about it. But maybe not I don't let anyone know my weight. Kudo's to not only your efforts but your success. I have enjoyed our journey together and look forward to seeing what the future holds for us. It is in our control to decide if we choose to succeed or fail.…

Sounds great, I'll try it. Do you know the calories etc?

Thanks very good info.

I think these are some really good ideas.

Great read thanks

I also started in Jan. 2012 but have only lost 32 pounds so I'm a little behind you. Congradulations doesn't it make you happy, and you are not loosing it quickly so it will be easier to maintain. I always tell myself one pound at a time. Good luck and be sure to give a shout out when you hit goal.

That is so great I look so forward to that day. I have a ways to go, I just reached not being obesed. But I believe taking it slow and incorporating calories, nutrients, water and exercise will help me achieve my goal. One day I'll be able to post a I've done it just like you. Relish in the moment and enjoy it I'm sure it…

I have 30 but less than 10 that I keep a close eye on.

Yes currently, but it is weight/mind plateau. I've wandered away went over not only calories but also type foods. I know I'm doing it and trying to stop. I notice I'm consuming to many sugars/fiber and until I get back to healthly eating my scales will either stay or go up.

THAT'S WHAT I DO AND EVERY NOW AND THEN HE WILL SURPRISE ME WITH A TREAT. THAT WAY I GET TO ENJOY WITHOUT GOING OVERBOARD

Only eat Jiff smooth. Luv Luv Luv it.

Tuesday water done for the day. Exercise won't happen this week due to family needs. But I'm walking the stairs a little

Water yes exercise no, but will work on it.

So much helpful information. I think for me drinking 16ozs of water to every cup of my coffee is a good plan. Now if I'm able to do that is a different story. The color of urine was great and I have placed in MFP folder. That will help me to judge if I'm on a good path. MFP is so helpful with members giving such a wide…

Oh my gosh I drink so many cups of black coffee a day so I should start counting them as water. If thats the case I drink way over 8 glasses a day. I know I should cut back on my coffee but I love it so much and it keeps me warm.

Challenge excepted, but won't be easy. How long will this one last?

Tons of good information. But the TV time I could not even come close to. I love my TV and I'm on the computer while I watch. I have to keep some things I love in my life while trying to get healthy

Good tips, I gained about a pound last week, but not down just keeping on track. I will prnt your tips out and use them as a guide.

Hi I'm 57 with one grandson, a great husband and daughter. I started this journey at 206lbs in Jan. have lost 25lbs. It has been slow going. I'm still trying to get in the habit of drinking water and working out. I walk 4 flights of stairs once or twice daily and will be starting the gym in June. I will do elypitcal and…
