Thank you everyone - this was helpful

THank you so much - I didn't think to add it TO food but that is a good idea :) And I do love me some Starbucks treats :)

The reason I'm not hitting protein is because I can't imagine fitting any more into my day and enjoying it. I typically eat 2 eggs at breakfast, 1 protein shake at some point during the day, and 4 oz of meat (chicken, pork, or steak) for dinner. I really do not like meat, so I can't see myself adding more in. I don't want…

I read in a few places that it is ideal for weight loss....

Thanks ladies! Excited to have some likeminded MFP buddies! :)

5'6" currently 130, goal of 120. 27 y/o female. Feel free to add me if you'd like!

Awesome - sent a request. My goal is to lose 10 lbs.

Thank you for being motherly :) Yes, I think you're right. I should go get this looked at. I have been negligent about it

Wow, this is a popular topic - thanks all for your help :) I am going to try to increase my fiber and water intake, and also take some supplemental stuff (Miralax or Citrucel). I will make a doctors appointment if it doesn't help. Honestly, if the laxative I took tonight hasn't done something by the morning, I might make…

Thank you :)

this is awesome, thanks so much for posting! :)

Hi All! My name is Natalie and I am from Buffalo NY. After graduating from college and getting a desk job that has me on my *kitten* 10-11 hours a day, I steadily gained some excess weight. I am 25 years old and ready to get rid of it! :) I have a bunch of things motivating me right now: my fiances birthday weekday…

Thanks all :) I think I am just going to manually change my cal goal to 1600/day and stop entering exercise burn on here (I will enter minutes so I can keep track but then just put 1 calorie burned). The reason I do not like using the net calculation that MFP recommends is because it really screws up my macro counting when…

So glad to have some partners in crime! :)

wowza! you look amazing!

Such a great post :) Thanks for sharing your experience! Water is so important, isn't it? I just can't get myself to like water, but I need to change that attitude!!!
