Filtered. I have been raised on filtered water and it is the only kind I really love. I have the New Wave Enviro water filter available at Whole Foods. I love it. http://www.newwaveenviro.com/premium-10-stage-water-filter-p-86.html?zenid=2be44baf0afafd873fc16b0f6cf70823 Water filtered through Brita or Filtrete is just not…

Are you logging all your food? Because it looks like you need to eat more. Try adding salads, more fruits, yogurt, and egg whites. All good sources of energy.

Great work. You are beautiful.

You look great. Congratulations.

Hi. What I noticed most about your food diary is the large amount of processed and pre-packaged foods you are eating. I think that is a large source of the sodium. Be mindful of how many pre-packaged food you are consuming. Also be mindful of the processed meats and breads, waffles, and pastas you eat as well (these are…

Great job. Beautiful pictures.

Well since I have vowed to only weigh myself the last day of the month, all I can go on right now are NSVs. 1. A Kung Fu brother keeps telling me I look like I am losing weight. 2. My work clothes are getting looser on me. 3. My stomach is getting slimmer. 4. I can see more muscle definition in my arms. 5. I feel better.

I put a tbsp of Welch's Natural Strawberry Jam in Stonyfield Organic French Vanilla yogurt. Yumminess.

Low fat cheeses, all-natural guacamole (I buy the Wholly 100 cal packs, great alternative to sauce on sandwiches), organic breads, Kashi cereals, peanut butter, brown rice. Egg whites are not high in calorie but they are low in sodium. Great for making a scramble-spinach, turkey, cheese. Will keep you full. Remember to…

Shakira is a great motivation. Her body is beautiful. Also, I am making smart choices all the time. And I do not deny myself when I really want something (but my desires have changed to healthier options).

He may be a little insecure or maybe just impatient with a response like that. Honestly, I think you should be true to yourself. If you would be more comfortable dating in the future when you have lost more weight, you should do that. Tell him right now is not a good time to date but maybe he wouldn't mind messaging you or…

I like Quaker Apple and Cinnamon. I use water and milk to make it creamy. Sometimes I add honey (allergy benefits)...banana...raisins. You can add eggs whites for protein.

8 months.

You are beautiful. You should first love and enjoy yourself and then look for someone else to love and enjoy. A book that really helped me to find self-love was Lust, Love & Faking It by Jenny McCarthy. I hope the best for you. Remember you are important. :)

Great pictures ladies!

I had a beer after work.

You have done so great. Congratulations. :)

http://www.superskinnyme.com/how-to-slim-calves.html I like this article. I have huge calves as well. At this point, they are mostly muscle; so I am not sure I can get them any smaller. O well, as long as I am healthy. :)

Congratulations Ed!!!! You did so great.

No...because I usually have to smell someone to have a crush on them. Haha ha ha. That is the creepiest answer. LOL.

"Real" men have...chest hair...a tool belt...and flannel shirts. :)

Hello Fellow Texan residents. I am here in Killeen/Ft. Hood area. I will be moving to Round Rock or Austin later this year.

This article on livestrong.com seems like it might be helpful. http://www.livestrong.com/article/467792-how-much-protein-should-i-be-eating-to-lose-weight/ Personally, I have been taught that we don't need as much protein as we think we do. Maybe you should try to eliminate animal proteins from one or two meals a day. Or…

Hi, meoohmee. Welcome to MFP. It can be a challenge. Keep yourself focused on what you want and what you need to do to get there. Remember you are important and your health is important. This struggle is one day at a time. Do not get overwhelmed by worrying about the whole month or next week. Take care of yourself new each…

You are young.

My hair and smile. I wish people noticed my eyes more, I am sorta insecure about them.

So awesome. Congratulations. And best wishes for the rest of your journey.

If you are having any anxiety about straying from your diet, don't do it. Say no. You should be more important to you when it comes to eating and working out. Yes, you can burn off the calories, but why should you have to do something for yourself because of someone else's desire. Whatever decision you make, have peace…
