I have well over 100 pounds to lose, so I'd be more than happy to have some new supportive friends as well. :)

Thanks guys! I appreciate the new ideas as well! I will definitely keep it all written down in case the pulsin doesn't work. The pulsin is something I can get at my local shop and it is unflavored so I can just mix it in with some greek yogurt in the morning time. Thanks again to all of you who were so very helpful, I…

Thanks. I think I'm going to go with pulsin soy or hemp since it's just 100%.

Thank you moltobella, I will definitely take a look.

Thank you Happycampr. I'm trying to find it here in Ireland. :)

LOL, Lynn, all of that at once would make a very interesting concoction :) I love green smoothies :) Broccoli blueberry and banana is one of my favorites. :)

Thank you guys so much! You guys have been very helpful :D

Thank you, I will look at pulsin as well! :)

Thank you guys so much! :) I'm going to look up the About Time protein see if we have it here! :) Thanks guys!

There has to be natural protein powders out there, surely. When I say processed I mean chemical laden junk foods. I'm sorry to have been a bother. I see I made a mistake making the post. I'll continue to look online for something natural like a hemp protein or pea protein powder.

I love Greek Yogurt, I do eat that...it's great. Francl27, I am trying to follow the potato not prozac plan as it is supposed to help naturally heal my anxiety so I can cut down on my need for anxiety meds. It helps a lot, but breakfast is my biggest issue I'm supposed to get a good bit of protein for breakfast, but if I…

I've cut out processed things and chemicals make me sick. I don't use sweeteners because of the horrible side effects that go along with it. I'm not opposed to natural sweeteners like agave, but I steer clear of aspartame and splenda style sweeteners. I've done pretty good with eating whole foods only, and any time I have…

I don't have a scale that counts my calories.....didn't know they made those. I do use a scale to weight my food though. I weigh my meat once it's cooked so I make sure I'm getting the proper amount I need for my diet.

Hey thanks so much for responding. I will read that article for sure. Right now I'm not running but I'm building myself up to it. I'm hoping in the next couple of weeks to be at a light run walk and then a few weeks after that be able to run with very little walk breaks until I reach a goal of being able to run without…

Guild Wars 2, mostly when I find I have the time to play. :)

I really enjoyed the article on Staci! The nerdfitness looks like a lot of fun! Do you go there during September for the camp?

Hi Calliope, I will definitely have a look at all the links you posted and give them a read. The motivation clinic doesn't make you buy their products, there are people who use other protein supplements from different vendors as well. They're main goal is that you get some protein every 3 to 4 hours during the day. So far…

It's basically a clinic I go to once a week that goes over my food and exercise diary. They have different plans depending on the amount of weight you want to lose or how quickly you want to lose it. They basically have a guideline of what portions of food you should eat. Like for me I have 1oz of protein for bfast 1 for…

I know some people set up their own TDEE. However, MFP (I could be wrong) may have you "under" those calories as some people eat back the calories they burn. So maybe they are leaving some room for error. Like, if you burn the 600 calories that are on that TDEE, you can eat them back. I'm not really sure how it's all…

YaY! You're all brilliant, ty!! I didn't notice the previous entry one before. I appreciate your help!

Thanks, I'll try that again :)

I tried that, but it wouldn't change my tracker. I even put my weight up to what it was but didn't change that either. Maybe it's broken :)

I would have to say I would still go in with my mom or my partner. I've even gone in with friends before...and I'll be 30 this month. I guess it's all in how close your relationships are would depend on level of weirdness. I've never found it weird.

I have never heard of 5:2....Is it easy to adjust to? Do you eat nothing and drink only water 2x a week or do you eat a small amount? It sounds...interesting. However, is it something you are going to do the rest of your life? *searches google* !

Excellent work! You have an amazing figure! Lovely dress!

I made vegan oatmeal raisin cookies for my niece that I am watching tonight. I ate two this afternoon for a snack. Can't let yourself feel beat down. We all do it...at some point in time. However, you could always do a vigorous workout to get a calorie deficit so you can have dinner, or if that isn't an option have a light…

I don't know if this will help you or not? However, this is what I am trying now. I am the worlds worst for exercise! I'll start then be like erggg and stop. However, to get real results exercise has to be done. I always liked lifting (when I was younger and went to the gym) but right now with moving and college and a lot…

I personally find it motivating! I love when people post their progress pictures! I guess the people who make these comments have no urgency to change their life so they belittle the others who put in hard work. Which is disgraceful! I say keep on posting and forget about the bitter lazy people who would rather demean…

Thinking I shouldn't have taken that test. I scored a 52. It's telling me I need professional help and that I have some disorder....hmph.

HaHa no I personally felt ignorant for using mass over density. Maybe I need to bust out some old college books so I quit looking so stupid. LOL But yes, thanks for explaining that better than I could.
