Great job so far!!! Keep it up --- and you can certainly add me if you'd like to :) It's a hard battle to fight, but it can be done!!

Definitely trying the avocado fries AND that avocado egg salad recipe!!!!

I won't even bother watching this video. I love Jillian (and I love watching the Biggest Loser...don't hate me! LOL). I saw her Maximize your Life tour back in April - she completely motivated me, got me off my butt, I have lost 11 pounds since then and am in better shape than ever. Some people don't like her - that's…

Thanks so much everyone! I definitely don't have symptoms of water intoxication - just frequent washroom visits! lol

I'm just wondering. I feel great. My skin looks great. But I've heard and read things this weekend that it's possible I'm drinking too much. I just want to hear some opinions!

Love this way of thinking. I was once at the grocery store and put a bunch of butter together to show myself how much I lost - I got some looks but I don't care - visualizing it is the best way!

http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ Figure out your TDEE - this will tell you how much you should be eating to lose weight. Don't guess when there are so many tools out there to help us! Good luck with your journey :)

I'm opening mine up now - was only open to friends, but as someone said, if you have an account here, you can see it. Random people who aren't part of MFP cannot. I eat sugar - I admit it. But I also exercise - so why wouldn't I share!

I had no idea there was a pill that caused these things - I live with IBS-D (and have since I was a child) ---- it is a worry for me of this happening when I wake up with a bad stomach. Don't take a pill that could even possibly cause this (and has a warning on the package!) --- it is just not worth the stress. At least…

You can definitely set up a custom calorie goal on here! I don't have a fitbit (I think it's an arm band type thing -you could google it!) - from what I've heard they help, but I don't think they are necessary. Go to any of the links that have been posted - they will have instructions on how to figure out your TDEE. Weight…

It has absolutely worked for me! http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator use this to figure out your TDEE I upped my calories about a month ago - log everything I eat every day - and have gone down 7.5 pounds since!

hahahahahaha -- love some of these!!! Thanks for the laughs this afternoon !!! So many "experts" out there - it's crazy!

I have IBS - it's a constant battle with whatever I eat, but I have learned that there are definitely some things that irritate it more than others. I have not cut out breads/pastas completely, but since I have cut back on them - I have definitely found I have a lot more energy.

Yup I actually did understand that! LOL

That's the calculator I've been using - the scooby one. I am going to try the zig zagging too - just to see if it helps. Love this forum --- everyone is so helpful! Thanks!

Great - thanks for your help!! I didn't know what to be looking at!! So when I start to increase my exercise - should I re-do my TDEE to calculate my daily calories, or leave it as is?

My BMR is 1604; my TDEE is 1924 ---- I just re-did the numbers. (does that make sense) It's all so confusing to me - I hate numbers!

You look amazing! Such an inspiration --- congratulations :)

You can definitely tell the difference - great job!!!

Congratulations!!!

You look amazing!! Congratulations on a job well done!!

I've read through this thread - and while I have plateaued, I know it's only a phase and I will keep on doing what I'm doing (eating clean, eating at my BMR, exercising daily). I only weigh myself once a week for this very reason - I would get so incredibly frustrated if I weighed in every day and saw this sort of…

What an accomplishment, and how inspiring for those of us who have just started our journey. I want to lose 50 total, I have already lost 11.5 and can't believe how much better I already feel. Thank you so much for sharing your story AND your before and after pictures. You are an inspiration - and look amazing!!…

Great job!! Anything you haven't been able to do before and you can do ... is a VICTORY! :smile:

I am in! I am a 47 year old single mom, and just discovered this website a few days ago! My goal is to lose 40 pounds by the end of May. My goal for February is to keep drinking 8 glasses of water, and to get moving! I can't afford a gym membership, so I intend on walking every single day for at least 30 minutes. I am a…
