^^ My thoughts as well. Could be your face looks a bit saggy in person now? or gaunt? Your BMI is underweight. Yes I know you said your not that your fine etc. etc. Just going by your profile and the info on BMI for your height and weight says your underweight. So maybe she is seeing something you don't? I'm 2 inches…

For me I was skipping my periods for a couple of months and then would get it out of the blue. This was going on for a few years. Lately i've been getting it every 2 weeks and very heavy. I called my dr. and he said in many women this happens just before they completely stop getting periods. Anyone have this? Can't wait…

MY EYES!!! THEY BURN!!! Someone please dig out the part of my brain responsible for remembering that image!!!

I have similar dreams. Most of the time I dream that my teeth are loose and I can wiggle them with my tongue and pull them out. By the time the dream is over I barely have any teeth left.

I live in PA. We have a lot of kosher deli s in my area so I get fresh REAL bagels. Not that garbage in a bag they pass off as bagels in the grocery stores. As long as I have the calories for it I'll eat one. I used to eat them a few times a week but my weight loss was extremely slow to nonexistent doing that. Now I have…

yes reward yourself but not with food. You're not a dog. I reward myself with new clothes, getting my hair or nails done, going to a movie etc. If you do go out to eat just make sure it fits in with your calorie goals. Don't splurge and go way over and then regret it later. To me splurging on a big meal was just defeating…

You're running on a treadmill you're not doing a science experiment. What is there to concentrate on? I'm bored to death on a treadmill so I bring a book and study while I do my run or prop my book on my exercise bike.

Try to make small changes in the way you eat. Start with cutting out one of those high salt foods you eat all the time. The highest I see is that broth. It says low salt but that is far from low salt. To prevent that feeling of always being hungry you may want to try low calorie dense foods. Try having a large fresh salad…

awesome!!! Keep up the good work! It's a great feeling when you reach those goals isn't it? :flowerforyou:

I did WW online and then after I lost most of my weight I started to track here as well as on WW tracker to see where I was with my calories. Now I do only MFP but continue with what I was doing with WW. Eating at least 5 servings of fresh fruits and veggies per day, 3 servings of dairy, the protein, water, vitamins and…

^^ this ^^ or drink ensure. But slim fast is junk. After my last child I thought it was easier to just do slimfast than exercise and eat right. WRONG!! It made me break out really bad and gave me bad gas not to mention the fact that after several months I had only lost 5 lbs.

sorry duplicate

This is exactly what I did. I didn't eat back my calories burned from exercise. I eat lean meats and fresh greens, greek yogurts, fresh fruit and nothing processed. I use fresh herbs for seasoning and don't use sauces or those bottled marinades. Watch not only what you eat but what you put on it. Weigh and measure…

I did several things when our kids were all young. One was to use the little ones as weights. They got a kick out of it. Lift them over your head, lay on your back and lift them with your feet and have them play airplane etc. Go for lots of walks. Kids love to go on walks. Put on music and dance with them while you clean.…

add some Prosciutto and I'm in heaven!!!

All of this talk about grilled cheese with tomatoes makes me want one but I'm going to add a slice of ham as well so :tongue:

I'm sorry but the majority of those foods you posted look absolutely disgusting to me. The oatmeal looks like soup gone bad and that so called icecream? ewww There was another one there I got completely grossed out over too but can't remember what it was called. But you have got to be kidding me if you think thats…

Then its time to log everything. Weigh and measure everything and log it. Most likely your under estimating what your REALLY eating and your probably eating way more than your body needs.. which is why we gain weight in the first place.

You need to track everything. I've noticed you track a day or two then for a few days you don't track at all. Also as others have suggested watch the sodium. Those frozen dinners are loaded with salt. Try to take a salad to work instead of a frozen dinner. Put some cut up chicken in with that salad or bring a packet of…

We forgot to lock our bedroom door one night while getting busy. Our youngest son who never knocks flew in our room...door slamming into the wall. Not only did we freak out and scream but so did our son. He ran away screaming and yelling MY EYES!! OMG MY EYES!!!!! SOMEONE BURN OUT MY EYES!! He was about 12 at the time. A…

When our youngest was about 6 or 8 maybe, we were just leaving one of those big box stores named BJ's and across the street was another shopping center with a sporting goods store we went to quite often. Out of nowhere our youngest son says very loudly "MOM!!! Guess what? D i c k's likes BJ's!!!" Our much older children…

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: poor kitty lol

I just read all 20+ pages to get a well needed laugh. :laugh:

Fantastic!! Looks like she also took off over 10 years with those pounds.

I don't deprive myself of sweets. If I want them I just have them in moderation. I like to keep dove dark chocolates in the house. When i crave sweets I have one or two pieces. They are only 43 calories each. Its when you completely deprive yourself that you tend to dive in and go over board and pig out on things. If you…

I heard this same thing from a relative about a year and a half ago. He had just lost his weight through some freaky diet. I had just started with MFP then but didn't say anything to him about it. He went on and on about how he lost his excess weight as he called it. I just nodded and thought well he can do it his way and…

I believe you because thats how I eat them. I hate them cooked and all soft. My favorite way to eat them is to add 1/4 cup raw to vanilla greek yogurt. yummm!!!!

My favorite is: take one can of black beans well drained and rinsed or equivalent of dried beans that have been soaked over night. Add one can of pinto beans well drained and rinsed. In a skillet add EVOO and diced up red onions. When slightly clear looking dump in your beans. Then add a can of chopped up artichoke hearts.…
