I'm 21! Let's do this :happy:

Thanks for all of your suggestions!! They really help out :smile:

I used to take Acai Berry supplement pills. They did not help with dieting, but they improved my immune system tremendously!!!! :smile:

You look great!!!! Such an inspiration..thanks for sharing! :flowerforyou:

I would love to join too. I've lost motivation lately, and I have a goal set for Sept. 5th, so this would really help me out! Where can we view the posts at?

I don't know what your schedule is, but I find that getting up and working out early works best for me. If there is any way that you can get up before your kids and husband to get your "me" time in, I would suggest that. If you're not a morning person, it will be VERY hard to get up and get motivated to exercise, but just…

I had the same situation about a month ago!! I ate and drank a lot that wknd for my 21st, but I was able to start again fresh on Monday!! Just make sure you get back into it right away. Live a little...you only turn 21 once! Have fun!! :flowerforyou:

Thanks for letting me know Laura! :happy:

Man, I am tired this morning as well, but I'm heading to Cardio Kickboxing in an hour! :flowerforyou:

I've fell off the wagon before, and I also did REALLY bad eating & drinking a lot this weekend!! I started working out again today, eating really healthy, and I feel great so far! I wouldn't weigh yourself until the end of this week, so that you don't get discouraged. You can do...it's easy to get back on the weight loss…

I am lactose intolerant, but only sometimes. Mine seems to come and go unexpectedly for months at a time. It definately affects everyone differently. Hope this helps:flowerforyou:

the last couple of days, i have fell off the weight loss wagon, and i havent been eating very well. i have been exercising, just not as much as usual. tomorrow i plan to start full force again, but i still have 14 more lbs. to lose. any motivation to keep on target with my eating and exercising would be great! thanks…

adopt4: what do you mean with the amount i need to lose?? do you think i am setting my expectations too high? I feel like i expect to at least lose a pound a week, but i am open to changing my expectations! do you have any suggestions on what i should change my expectations to? Thanks!! :smile:

I take Acai Berry & I love it!! It has boosted my immune system tremendously. I used to get sick all the time, but now (knock on wood), I have not been sick since I started taking it! :flowerforyou:

Thanks for the suggestions! MTGirl...where are these sticky notes?? Thanks! :flowerforyou:

Before joining MFP, I lost 6lbs., I have since lost an additional 3lbs., so a total of 9lbs. This is great; however, I feel that i have reached a plateau. I recently went down to 1200 calories a day, and some days, I don't even reach this calorie max, because of the exercise that I do. I am eating well and exercising, but…

Smoothie King offers a variety of "Skinny" smoothies, about 250 cals.

you look amazing!!!!!!!!!! great job! :)

i suffer from chronic tension headaches almost daily, especially around my period. i have tried what seems like a MILLION medicines, including anti-depressants. i take amitripyline for anxiety, but i would say they somewhat help with the headaches, but not much :( I hope all of us headache sufferers find some relief soon!…

I would do more cardio & less weight training. Also, if you really want to drop the pounds, don't have any days that you skip your diet. Stay on track everyday & don't have those cheat days. That alone will help you reach your goal much more quickly!!! Good luck. You can do it!

i just joined MFP a couple of days ago, and i have already lost a pound! i also lost six pounds prior to joining, so i am up to 7!! thats the good news...i am a little worried, because friday is my 21st birthday, and i know that i will go over on my cals this wknd due to drinks, food, etc. how long should i wait to check…

Good for you! Also, taking stairs is a great alternative to an elevator when there is one!!!

turkey sandwhich, some guacamole chips, and cottage cheese :smile:

Thanks for the advice! I have had issues with milk products in the past, so I don't eat a lot of dairy, just occasionally a glass of milk every other day or so. I'm going to try to up my dairy intake for the protein benefits though. Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your suggestions. I guess what my problem is is finding foods high in protein, but LOW in fat. Any suggestions?

I'm new to myfitnesspal, but I love it so far. What type of foods do you eat that have protein in them? I am having a hard time reaching my protein goals every day. Thanks for your help! :smile: Sydney
