So fantastic!! How did you not get discouraged and give up while waiting weeks to lose the first pound? How were you so sure that it would eventually work?

I can't open the links from work, they're blocked. It sounds like Absolut, even flavored, is a great choice...zero carbs? If so---YAYYY!! Thanks!! Mixed with some diet soda, it'll be perfect for my weekend getaway!

I've got 4 kids, all involved in multiple sports every night. It's rough! I feel your pain! The crock pot will be your bff. Also rotisserie chicken and frozen veggies or raw veggies with dressing/dip. Make extras of anything you make on your less busy nights to either eat as leftovers or re-purpose into another meal. For…

I wish we could "Like" posts on here as we do on FB. I "Like" this! ^^^^^

Where do you find Reduced Fat Salami? My kids love salami and pepperoni sandwiches. I've never seen a reduced fat or turkey version of these deli meats. I can find turkey pepperoni in the small circles, but not sandwich size!

I think there was a part of me embarrassed by how much difficulty I had. We ran a mile, I stayed up front. Got to the track to do speed laps and by lap 3, I was trailing near the back. By the end of the speed work and the mile run back...I was dead last. When I run by myself, I feel good about me. Last night, I didn't feel…

I made almost the exact thing yesterday. I used a jar of gravy rather than the sour cream. I added a layer of French cut, frozen green beans beneath the stuffing. A complete meal in the crockpot!

In for 31 miles in 31 days. I've been on a 6 week hiatus from running. I need this!

Do you have an Aldi in your area? I have cut my food expenses in half by shopping there first. There are only a few of our "staples" that I now need to go to the regular food store for. Aldi has tons of fresh, even organic, produce, lean protein, dairy etc. I'm hooked!

I agree with Psulemon...If you must drop the weight, low carb for a few weeks. You'll drop it quickly. I've done it before when nearing the end of a few weight loss competitions. Always successful, but for me, never sustainable. Does the job though.

I can't wait to try this! We love Reuben ANYTHING! I make Reuben Dip, Reuben Egg Rolls, Reuben Lasagna...and now Reuben Soup! Thanks!

If you don't mind me asking...can you give me a range/estimate of what can be expected for the cost of a surgery like this? I remember that going out of the country often costs less than in the US. I'd be interested in both options. I'll give myself a year or 2 of weight training before I commit to surgery to remove the…

Sounds torturous...I'm in! I hate burpees and love burppee results!

It doesn't sound odd to me at all! You may be my MFP twin! I'm 5'7, 36 years old, wearing a 14...some 12's. I too haven't been this size or weight since middle school. I currently weigh around 193, down from 340. I'm hoping to lose about 15 more pounds. Then that's it. I'd still be considered overweight by BMI charts etc.…

You can pop your own popcorn in a brown paper (lunch-style) bag in the microwave with no oil whatsoever. I use 1/4 cup of kernels. Fold down the top of the bag twice. Pop on your popcorn setting and wait to hear it slow down... a second or 2 in between pops...just like with pre-packaged microwave popcorn. Much healthier!!

I researched a variety of activity monitors for the same reasons you are asking. I wanted to know if I actually could be eating more and still losing without spending much time trying out...for fear it wouldn't work! I finally bought the Body Media Link armband about 5 weeks ago. It was the best $100 I ever spent. I have…

Hi! You can totally do this and you will!!! I graduated college weighing around 300 and hung out between 250 (my wedding) and 340 (after baby #1) throughout my 20's. At my highest I weighed 340 lbs. When I got truly serious about losing the weight I was around 315. I had lost some weight following a low carb diet but was…

I often skip breakfast. If I eat it...even an omelet...I'm hungry soon after. Everyone reacts differently. You may fall into the same type of breakfast eater as me though. Most days I just have my coffee and maybe a banana.

Welcome Back! I hope you are doing well post-op. I had 1/2 of my thyroid removed in 2008. Prior to that I had lost about 100 lbs. I was so worried that I'd regain the weight or have trouble losing more. I got pregnant shortly after. Gained weight a bit quicker than in my other pregnancies though I'm not sure it had…

^^^YES! I am obsessed with these. Great snack. High on protein, fiber...low on fat and calories. And like the above poster (quoted) they don't make me feel sick if I eat one before a workout. I keep them everywhere...my car, purse, work, lol! Edited to add: I also love them for post workout! Or any time I need a snack that…

I have the Body Media Link and I love it! It works flawlessly with mi old iphone 4 and syncs with MFP. Best $100 I ever spent!!
-
I agree! Each person is different! If I eat breakfast especially at a typical breakfast time, I find I am hungrier all morning. It doesn't matter if I have eaten eggs or fruit or oatmeal. I'll be hungrier. I made that mistake today and I'm paying for it! I am much better off having only coffee for breakfast with MAYBE a…

All information that I gather from MFP, the internet, books, friends...even dieticians, nutritionists, trainers and physicians, I take with a grain of salt. They are suggestions and advice. I don't believe that anyone has "THE answer". If they did, none of us would be here searching for the best way to lose weight,…

Sounds delicious!

looks delicious!!

yummmmmmmmmm

Sorry hit post too quickly above! Thanks! That's what I've been thinking/hoping to hear. Thanks for everyone's help!

I typically exercise first thing in the morning , on an empty stomach anyway. So that's not an issue. My occasional afternoon workouts might be but I guess I'll see how I feel. When I lift, that's in the evenings so I would have eaten something by then. Glad to hear from some that this might be my ticket to success!

Love this thread! I have about 10 lbs to get to my ideal (in my head) weight. I'm shooting for 15 though so I have a little buffer zone for vacations, holidays etc. I plan to weigh every day and go back to losing mode whenever more than 4 lbs. creeps up. If I weighed weekly...I'd likely forget!
