I would love to join, I am on day 7... man it's hard but I think it will totally be worth it!

I honestly prefer Tera's Whey Bourbon Vanilla. I prefer my protein powders without a whole ton extra junk in them and I can't have anything with soy. It does taste amazing.

I fiddled with a recipe this morning so I thought I would share it. Definitely a denser pancake but much healthier. I am still messing around with the recipe (maybe I will add more flaxseed and less pancake mix (I will be subbing the Bisquick mix for white whole wheat and up the baking powder and a little salt next time -…

I gained weight due to depression and not loving myself enough to take care of myself. I maintained that weight gain because I was lazy and kinda hedonistic and didn't pay attention to what I was eating. It's funny, once I really accepted and loved who I, with a little exercise and paying attention to what I eat I am…

I hated exercise for years, it's one of the reasons why I never had much success losing weight. But once I found something I genuinely enjoyed that I found exercise as fun, it's still a lot of hard work but I am loving it. The key for me was to work out with a group of like minded people that I felt comfortable with. I…

Make sure you take a good multivitamin, be wary of vitamins with lots of fillers, preservatives and vitamins that are food based not synthetic. I am really liking Rainbow Light Women's One Multivitamin right now.

I enjoy most of Jillian Michael's videos - Boost Metabolism, Banish Fat and Ripped in 30, the You Are Your Own Gym app, and I am really loving the Sworkit Pro app right now. But to be honest I am doing much better working out with a group, it seems more fun and I keep really pushing myself.

My skin is currently breaking out due to exercise it seems. I make sure I wash all that sweat off but maybe my body is purging, thus the break outs. I am treating myself to glycolic peels every 2-3 weeks so long as I keep up with my workout routine. My skin and my energy level seems to be getting much better :)

I have both right now and I am preferring to use the Fitbit Flex. After wearing my Jawbone Up for 6 months on an every day basis, it started looking really gross and beat up, I did not want to wear it to work because it was so shabby looking. With the flex you at least have the option of purchasing a new band when yours…

Feel free to add me as well :flowerforyou: http://www.fitbit.com/user/25JLD8

I am 5'1" as well. It is always hardest when I start out with exercising and watching my calorie intake because it ends up being such a numbers game for me to find balance. I have about 85lbs to lose, I have only lost a lbs. but I have lost 1-2 inches off the body when I measured today so I am satisfied with that so far. I…

I use a heart rate monitor when I do my cardio workouts, I have a fitbit that tallies up the daily walk with the dog. I eat back my exercise calories if I am hungry. Since my stomach bug a month ago my appetite has been squelched a little but I try to make sure I try to eat at the very least 1200 calories, but I am trying…

I am 5'1" and I have 85 lbs to lose. I am working up to eating 1400 calories as an average and being as active as I possible can be! I would love some MFP friends who are on the shorter side. Things aren't as easy for us short girls so I would love to have more friends for support and to be supportive! Feel free to add me…

I have both a Jawbone up and a Fitbit Flex as well as a Polar heart rate monitor for when I do cardio. I prefer my Fitbit to the Jawbone for a number of reasons. First thing is cosmetic but the Jawbone started to get pretty rugged looking really quickly, I didn't want to wear it at work because it started just looking beat…

I just started week 1 today, but I think I am doing another round of week one again next week. I am loving it but it is kicking my butt!

Congrats on your hard work so far! I have a ways to go but I am working to find the right balance, I am strangely loving working out now that I found something I enjoy. Sending over a friend request :)

Hi! I am back on myfitnesspal also from a long hiatus. I am determined to keep with it this time around and would be happy to be supportive! Shooting you a friend request, and anyone feel free to add me :)

I would be very happy to be your friend, sending over a request :)

Thank you so much! I have my phone beeping at me to remind me to log everything now so hopefully that helps a little on my end too

Will do! Nice to know I am not the only one. So frustrating too because I was doing well for a little while, but then I got sick - couldn't eat for a while, lost 10lbs and then gained 12 back! Since it was a struggle to get up over 600 calories a day I didn't have energy to do anything with regards to working out. I will…
