I only prep for 4 days at a time. That way everything will get eaten before it goes bad. If you want to prep things farther out than 4 days I would make things that freeze well like soups, chili, low carb turkey lasanga, taco meat. I do not like the taste of a plain precooked frozen chicken breast so I find that having the…

Try Quest Protein Bars. I like the Lemon. You can buy them on Amazon.

Oatmeal, Lettuce, Chicken breast, Eggs, Clemintines (need something for my sweet tooth)

One thing I do is cook up a big batch of chicken breasts in the crockpot with a little (1/2 C) water or chicken broth. I find this method of cooking keeps the chicken moist. I can heat up the breasts for dinner but I call also use the meat in a chicken salad, chicken taco or a veggie soup. I also make different sauces to…

Best thing I could have ever done for myself. After 2 babies and losing 70 pounds I was miserable with the gut that hung over my jeans. Makemeheal.com is a great resource if you are looking for any helpful information. The message boards are a great place to meet people going through the same thing.

I need friends who share too! Please send requests.

I am in the same boat! BMI 27. I am a bit older than you, 40 in 3 weeks, and I have really struggled with my weight. I come from a family of short 250lb women. It's like a curse. I have to work really hard just to get to 150lbs. My trainer says I am what you call "thick". Now the term "thick" would have really hurt my…

Drink more water. I try to shoot for a gallon if I can get it in. It always helps when I stall out. Another thing that helps me is to add an apple every day. I don't know why it works it just does for me.

Tummy tuck! Gave myself the gift a little over a year ago and it was the best thing I have ever done for myself! My doctor said that all the dieting and working out was never going to fix my problem. He was right. I love my new flat belly.

Feel free to add me! I am a L&D nurse who works 12 hour nights. The best part about nights is the cafeteria is not open so I have to pack my lunch which is not difficult for me. I have been gaining and losing the same 15 pounds for the last year and I am completely convinced it is because I work nights. My sleep cycle is…

You look amazing! Your hard work is definately paying off!

I did an 7lb ham on low for 8 hours. That is a little ham so maybe 4 hours on low but I am just guessing.

I work 12 hour shifts in a labor and delivery unit. Unfortunately, I do not walk as much as the average nurse. I spend a lot of time at the nurses station watching fetal monitors. I wish I could workout everyday but it is just not possible. On my work days I usually rest. I try to make up for it by spending extra time…

If you are hungry, drink a glass of water, slice up a cucumber and some celery and eat that. Very filling for very few calories. If it doesn't sound good to you than you aren't really that hungry are you?

To me it looks like you are eating a ton of processed foods. Your sodium intake is way too high. Try eating a clean diet. There is actually a book called the Clean Eating Diet by Tosca Reno which maybe helpful to you. Try eating foods without nutrition labels....like vegetables from the produce department not the freezer…

I am probably the only person you will hear on this board talk somewhat positively about hcg. I lost 50 pounds doing the hcg protocol 2 years ago and have kept the weight off. Was it easy. NO! It took a lot of hard work, planning and disciplne to follow that diets. I had mild side effects compared to a lot of people. I…

I work night shift so I always take my dinner to work. The day before I go back to work we always have grilled chicken for dinner. I have a marinade of EVOO, soy sauce, lemon juice and spicy ground mustard that I always use. I typically cook up 8 chicken breasts. We eat 4 or 5 and the rest becomes my dinners for the next 2…

yum! I am going to make these tomorrow

I buy the plain greek yogurt and add a packet of truvia and some frozen raspberries that I thaw for a few seconds in the microwave. It is a lot less sugar and carbs. I also like the Carbmaster yogurt you can get at Kroger supermarkets.

I read somewhere that you can wrap duct tape around your shoes at the balls of your feet. This helps give you a little more slide on the carpet.

Don't tell anyone (LOL) but they are Lose yourself-Eminem Fighter- Christina Aguilera I wanna go- Britany Spears Blow- Ke$ha Enter Sandman- Metallica However, I will take anything with A LOT of bass, usually rap or pop music

Yep! I was 3 pounds less today that I was 5 days ago which was my TOM>

I am one of those people who may only show 800 or 1000 calories a day. The reason I try to stay around that amount is because I do not log every little bite I eat. I may have bites, licks and tastes of things as I am cooking. I might pick up some candies as I walk by the candy dish. I might add sauce or a condiment that I…

Sending you a request now! :)

I love ranch dressing. I could drink it out of the bottle. I couldn't take the calories any longer so I made up my own. It is so simple. Cottage Cheese (about 2 tbsp) splash of skim milk garlic salt onion powder dried dill dried parsley Blend in the magic bullet blender. You can make up larger batches and just store in the…

Congrats to my fellow 66 pounder! I love that you are finding great ways to motivate yourself! You look great!

I am a huge binge eater too. It completely goes along with my mood also but I really like to eat. Stress and depression are my main triggers. Something that has really helped me is starting the Clean Eating Diet by Tosca Reno. I have tried to eliminate a lot of processed foods out of my diet. Following this eating plan…

Wonderful! You should be very proud of yourself!
