  • In addition to drinking lots of water, I have incorporated chia seeds and flaxseeds (ground) into my diet. They help immensely as well as help to keep me full during the day.

  • Sorry, I neglected to answer your entire question, I do use it for a meal replacement for breakfast and usually as a snack during the day if I'm rushed.

  • I use Gold Standard 100% Casein by Optimum Nutrition (I buy it at GNC). It isn't grainy and it comes in a few flavors. I tend to prefer the chocolate which also helps to cut down on my chocolate cravings. I have a shake within 30 minutes of my workout to help my muscles recover. I mix it with water, but you can use other…

  • My trainer has a saying "you can't out train a crappy diet". I was very much like you with getting the exercise. I was missing the part about the nutrition. We tend to forget or overlook what we are eating and trick ourselves into believing that we are eating a healthy diet. Start logging your foods and take a good, honest…

  • I'm having a fabulous day! I fit into a pair of jeans that are a size smaller this morning which made me feel like a million bucks! I even tucked in my shirt and put on a belt, which I never do. I have always worn my shirt untucked as I'm very self conscious about my tummy. It is rainy and somewhat dreary outside, but as I…

  • My plan is to keep under the 1200 calories, which hasn't been too hard so far as I am on a 28 day supervised nutrition plan right now in order to get my previously BAD eating habits back under control. It consists of 2 meals a day and 3 shakes a day. However, the last two weeks I have been working 12 hours a day so I have…

  • Right now I am thrilled that I keep "backing in" to my old wardrobe from when I lost weight a few years ago and refused to get rid of the clothes when I gained it all back. I will definitely be buying some cute clothes when I hit my goal weight!

  • I am a married mother of three boys ages 8 - 13. I also work a full time job, which during this time of the year is 50 - 60 hours a week. I decided that if I was going to do this, I had to hit the gym at 5am. I get up at 4:15, get myself ready, sign whatever needs to be signed in the kids backpacks (I usually fall asleep…

  • Hi everyone, I'm Dawn and I'm 41. Started on my fitness journey (again) back in April. I've been back on MFP for 11 days and am committed to taking control of my life and my weight. I became more determined after watching my mother pass in June from preventable health related issues at 68. I will not do that to my…

  • I just sent you a request. I am 41 with 3 boys that are also active in cub and boy scouts, married, and have a full time career. I am doing the boot camp fitness program at a local gym and am really loving it. I'm not sure I love going to the 5am class, but with our crazy lives, it's the best time to go.

  • Having been in your exact situation some years back, I would suggest trying to get together with others in your situation. You are going to need the physical and emotional support of those that understand what you are dealing with. I know there are stroller workouts that you can do which will involve your children. Not to…

  • I am also an emotional eater. Tonight was a tough emotional night. So, instead of eating, I came home and got on the treadmill. After 30 minutes, I felt much better, and no longer needed to eat. I have 60 pounds to lose (again) and am starting off 2013 with a healthy outlook. You can do this! It sounds like you have…
