I love pumpkin. I was thinking of trying to come up with a Pumpkin Smoothie..all the taste less calories than pie!

My other alternative high protein breakfast options are Greek Yogurt (I like Fage best) with 1/2 c berries (I like raspberry best) and 2 Tbsp of Toasted Slivered Almonds or Protein Shake with berries. I like Forza Chocolate that has 30g of protein, with 1 c almond milk, 1/2 c raspberries and 1 tsp Carlson Fish Oil. I make…

You look great! So much happier! Congrats and you're doing well!

I'm down 55 and doing a Half Marathon next Sunday. You can add me if you like. I'm flirting with the idea of doing a marathon but know I must lose more before doing it. My trainer is concerned I'm not light enough to do the Half Marathon next week. I'm not trying to win, just want to finish. I know I can do it.

Champion brand sold at Target has a premium line the last 2 seasons that many of the items are modelled after LuLu Lemon, but 1/3 to 1/2 the price. I love the stuff. My goal when I find my final weight is to buy a full LuLu Lemon outfit. I'm not spending that kind of money until then. I agree it's frustrating but I know…

I just saw your new picture and I was so excited, especially when I saw the beginning on. You look great! I know you have worked so hard and I'm so proud, even with your setback with being sick. I guess I'd only seen the middle photo but was so pleasantly surprised by the new pic! Continue to plug along and you'll keep…

I do but I know I shouldn't. Today I was wishing I didn't! I don't get big losses anymore. I should probably got to once a week but I want that quick motivation I get from a loss.

Congrats! That's fantastic. I hope you start feeling better soon. 25 lbs is a good mini goal. You might want to consider sub goals of 5 or 10 lbs to keep you motivated as well.

Congratulations! For being married 15 years! Having 5 children! and Fitting the wedding dress 15 years later! It even looks a little big so big bravo! You are amazing and so blessed! I'm sure it wasn't easy, but you look fantastic.

I've been using MFP for almost 7 months. I first started with friends as a way to track each other while doing a 6 week fitness competition. I was doing boot camps, strength training and eating clean. I read a lot of different stuff and one of the boot camp coaches suggested a book which turns out really helped and made a…

Welcome to MFP! It's a great community and really supportive. You can add me!

Congratulation! You look great. Thanks for sharing

Hang in there! You'll join her soon too! Way to go.

Great for you! That's just another sign post passed on your journey to where you want to be! Congratulations! Feels great, doesn't it!

I am a former fast food junkie. I pick up groceries on my way to work or buy them at night and take them with me to work. I do salads and have bagged lettuce, some protein (chicken breasts, tuna, salmon, etc) with veggie (cucumbers, tomato, broccoli, whatever I feel like) and a yummy low-cal dressing (my favorite is Trader…

Thanks fo tip! I've lost 51 lbs in 4 months so I'm thinking about this too. As long as I'm doing workouts and weights, it seems better. Fingers crossed, but the weight has got to go!

I've made egg cups before and froze them for breakfast. This sounds yummy with more protein.

You look fantastic! Congratulations! That's a lot of hard work you put in. Thanks for the motivation.

Congratulations! You look fabulous. Your story is so motivating.

Sounds yummy! Thanks for posting.

This sounds interesting. I have a frield who has had stomach issues for years. This might just help him. Thanks!

I started walking. It's cheap, easy and you just need a pair of good shoes. Finding an accountability buddy is nice too (someone you'll feel guilty about letting down if you don't do it. I walk with one of mine). Start small with mini goals so you can feel successful. I have been losing weight this time as I started a…

Thanks for this positive and wonderful advice.

Congratulations! I'm sure you feel a whole lot better. Keep up the great effort. You are inspiring.

Congratulations on being active for a year! Your post was so inspiring. The last two weeks, I've been stuggling being stuck in a plateau. Loved your advice and will continue to push through. I love your goal too!

This is also helpful. I was trying to figure out if eating back would help. I've been doing net under 1200 if I exercise. I want to experiment and see what happens if I eat back more of my calories. I'm using a Fitbit in conjunction with MFP. Fitbit has a little gauge much like a oil gauge on your car that tells you the…

This had some great comments. Thanks for reposting.

You can add me if you need another cheerleader! You made a great choice starting MFP!

You look amazing! Way to go. Thanks for the inspiration and encouragement. I hope you are able to reach your summer goal. Even if you don't, you're so much better off than you were. Congratulations!
