I saute some veggies (bell pepper, onion, and mushroom) and add taco seasoning, then put it in a tortilla or a lettuce wrap for a nice veggie taco alternative, and you can still add toppings since you're saving calories. A sneaky way too add servings is to blend veggies with a little bit of fruit and yogurt to make a…

Though I agree that you need to be supportive of your daughter, it's not like she is just slightly overweight and needs encouragement and told she is fine just the way she is. These are not "vanity pounds" or a "You'd be prettier if you were thinner" scenario. She is, by definition, obese at that weight and height. I'd…

Bahaha you're my favorite. I ate a sleeve of Thin Mints last month before I even realized it - on the plus side I had minty fresh breath and super attractive chocolatey teeth.

I used to do the same thing, try sitting on a balance ball and just doing ab twists or even moving in a circular movement. It will keep you a little more active and if you are doing that you won't be able to eat. I've also found that painting my nails is effective as well, unless you want to eat toxic "OPI Lincoln Park…

You may be my twin! 28 Ht: 5'9 CW: 160 GW 145 I was athletic and then I found pizza and beer in college =( Doing a 5k in May and mostly want to be toned and lean, and I think anything Zombie is probably the coolest thing ever.

JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL

I was the same way sweetie! There are a lot of little things to do. Try to work in little bits of activity- if you ride the bus, stand instead of sitting and do calf raisers (Just make sure to hold on to a bar or something!). I do these at the fax/copy machine. People probably think I'm weird but hey I am burning calories…

Alcohol, you made me giggle.

^That.

Morningstar/Boca products Black or pinto beans Eggs You can use these for meat substitutes in almost every dish =) I have been a vegetarian for 13 years and found that you just have to get creative, a lot of trial and error to see what flavors you like.

I don't think it affects weight loss for me so much, but definitely affects whether or not things get thrown across the office in the morning =) If anything I think it would keep your metabolism going, and could be good as long as it isn't full of sugar and cream.

That is a ton of weigh to lose in that amount of time. Stick with the 2 lb. weight loss per week on MFP - and STICK TO IT. You can't cheat it or lie to the MFP as you'll only hinder your success. If you're slightly under some days, all the power to you! But thinking that you can drop 80-100 without medical supervision in…

^This! Proper planning ensures success! Just takes dedication and YES it is worth it and YES YOU CAN DO IT!

Ahhh college... the reason I got big in the first place. College, pizza, and beer. And kick-*kitten* mashed potatoes in the dining hall. #1 Make smart food choices- LOTS of fruits and veggies, avoid lots of dressings and junk food sides. Choose an apple over chips etc. Plan your meals and snacks around your class schedule…

$h!t just got real. I'm breaking out the popcorn and just watching the drama unfold. This is better than if "Mean Girls" and "The Biggest Loser" were made into one show.

I was in a horrific accident 5 years ago, and made sure that I got a week's worth of rest. Once I was out of bed I started with walking. Then soon after I started doing some light stretching and biking. Just take your time, and as long as your doctor doesn't want you on bed rest, walking is probably the best thing right…

...your co-workers get annoyed that you can rattle off the amount of calories in EVERYTHING.

I am fairly certain after one workout with Jillian Michaels I'd be at my goal weight.

All I hear is excuses. I am on a limited budget, and grew up on public assistance and have always eaten healthy (minus the fours years of undergrad when I lived on pizza and beer). It IS possible. With stores like Aldi and Bottom Dollar, you CAN get healthy options for low prices. Prep and planning are key. I can take 10…

Badass strong

She's a few pounds (5-8) underweight - she likely lost extra to A) win the grand prize and B) give her some cushion to gain about 10 pounds when she gets back to her normal schedule post Biggest Loser. She's a former athlete - if you saw her standing in line in front of you at Starbucks you probably wouldn't say that she…

Oh man I am glad I'm not the only one! I've had mine pretty much since puberty. My mom once asked the doctor what was wrong with me. Gee thanks Mom. Even after weight loss and being ideal weight for my height in high school and then now it is still there! I call it the ButtStomach or 'BS' for short. Never really has gone…

Currently 5'9'', weigh 159. My goal is 145-150, but I have stalled and have not lost any weight for two weeks even though I've been diligent (which is hard, I only get 1150 calories w/o a workout). I may start doing the 30 Day Shred by Jillian MIchaels, it's an *kitten* kicker.
