I used to hate and I do mean HATE water too! I would never drink it, I bet at one point in my life I may have went months without any actual water... but when I made myself quit drinking soda, tea and energy drinks (still have maybe one a week) I started drinking extremely cold water, lots of ice cubes, and I now love and…

I am getting married in May and am working on losing the weight myself! I have lost a total of 14lbs so far, but only 3 has been since I started here (about 12 days ago). You will do great here if you are serious and motivated!!!

I am getting married May 19th and have about 25 lbs to lose. I do not realistically think I will lose it all by then, but would like to lose half of it. I lost about 11 lbs before starting MFP and tried on my dress today and it actually fit. Now I am wondering if I do lose more weight, if I will need to have it taken in.…

I have a friend that is a size 0, and always has been, hell after having her first child, she left the hospital in her pre pregnacy jeans. I have always been taller/larger than her. She is one of those people that constantly judges those she doesn't like. I would get so annoyed because at one point when I was around a size…

I agree!

I have to agree, I am a size 9/10 and I definitely think I look bigger than the size 16 through the midsection at least, but I think a lot of people carry their weight better than others, and I think that picture does not depict a realistic size 16. No loose skin, or trouble zones really... If she is a size 16 then she…

I guess I had the opposite problem for awhile. It dawned on me one night when I went roller skating with a couple of girlfriends and our kiddos. I had not skated in years and was a little unbalanced when out of the blue this girl comes flying by and cut me off! I said to my girlfriend "that chubby girl just about knocked…

Wow she makes me feel like a slacker in the parenting department!! I remember being a kid and always wishing I could bring my lunch. I used to do it for my daughter (oldest), but having 4 children now, I have started having them eat at school because it would be such a hassle packing lunch for all of them with very…

The moment I realized I can finally fit into my wedding dress AND if I keep losing weight may have to have it taken in rather than out!! (finally found the courage and tried this morning!)

Oh and I saw someone else mentioned coconut oil, I love that stuff! Its very light and has a wonderful taste when used for cooking. Once in awhile if we decide to cheat and make chicken strips or something like that, we will use the spelt flour, and a little bit of coconut oil to fry them in the skillet and it makes me…

I have to agree with everyone else. We just make sure to get unsalted (last time we figured out if we get the whipped it has salt, although the same brand in sticks doesnt.... and make sure its not "ultra pasteurized". The real thing is way better for you than all the chemicals!

Last night my fiance noticed he pointed ours north he weighed one extra pound than if he pointed it west... So I tried it and it gave me the same either direction. Then I took it in the bedroom to show him (carpeted) and I magically lost 50 lbs, no matter what direction we pointed it! So definitely would say not to trust…

I had my gallbladder out 8 years ago and I had very similar issues, I got to the point where I could not really eat at ALL without feeling stuffed and feeling like my food never went down past my ribs. The only thing that relieved it was vomiting and for obvious reasons that is not healthy! 1 month for the xray on your…

I am on day 9 of level one, starting level 2 tomorrow, but I log mine as around 200 calories for the video. I usually just do one 20 minute session of it per day (2 would kill me, especially the first few days, I was so sore I could barely lower myself to the toilet on day 3) but I do know some people who are on round 2 or…
-
Yeah for some reason I never thought of "non food" items! I will definitely steer that direction I suppose! I thought of doing packs of apples or maybe some other type of food (raisins was a good idea) but as stated above with 3 kids in school and having to buy for 70 children, that would get expensive fast! I will have to…

Oh and NOTHING tastes better than hot green tea with a little creamer and honey! Delicious on the cold days!!!
-
I use Stevia in the raw (the big green bag of powder is about 7 dollars at wal mart but lasts for months if used just for coffee and tea) We have found we like to "mix" different teas when brewing with the green tea. Usually we will use 3 bags of green tea and maybe 1 bag of the sleepytime mint tea (delicious with about…

Yes almonds have healthy fats, and 1/4 cup of them will stave off hunger for me for a couple hours!~! Other examples would be Avacodos 100% pure virgin olive oil ( I find that unrefined and coldpressed are healthiest, although expensive) coconut oil most kinds of nuts, not just almonds, even peanut butter (we get smuckers…

This may be different for different people. I find if I drink a whey protein shake, I can not eat for several hours afterward. I do like to add a fiber supplement to it, so that may have something to do with it, but I am trying to avoid these actually because then I do not end up eating enough calories in the day because I…

I am at 1200 and my diary is open to the public. As long as I am eating healthy I do not have a problem with going over, but if I do, here and there, as long as it is not by a ton, I don't let it bother me. I look more at the weekly report and make sure it is not over, because some days I might eat less, some days a little…

Bump! I love white chicken chilli and this sounds even better!

Kashi Honey Alomond and Flax LOVE this one and helps keep you ... ahem... regular!

Oops, meant to ask where you got your scale and if you feel it is accurate?

If you have shocked your muscles you are likely retaining water around them for repair. During the first 5 days of 30 day shred I gained 5 lbs, and my muscles killed me, but after 9 days now, I have re lost that 5, and am moving back downward slowly. I have lost a ton of inches in 9 days even when I still had the weight…

I was going to say the same. I have the app on my phone, so while I look at menu choices I see whats healthiest! For instance when we go to Ruby Tuesdays, a good option would be the salad bar alone ( I do this a lot) or my fiance likes to get the chicken bella (its so delicious) with a side of spaghetti squash and mashed…

Oh my fiance would love that! I will have to make it for him! I am not a pb fan but he LOVES it!
-
That sounds great too, but I am OVER every day on my carbs and sugars so was trying to make something without a crust! It doesnt set up as hard as regular frozen yogurt, but it is really yummy! My grandma used to make jello with fruit in it all the time and it was delicious so I think I will try yours on a cheat day!

Totally agree, when we did measurements I realized that even though I can wear a 30 in Silver jeans, my waist is more like a 34 right now, my fiance wears a 34 in mens and his waist is more like a 37.
