I like the Greek yogurt...there's lemon flavour as well as coconut flavour that is really really delicious... I tried the caramel and it wasn't so good (and I love caramel). I know it's not ice cream but I prefer yogurt...they have so many flavours now! And there's lots of protein!

Vent all you want...this is what this is for. And now that you've seen yourself you can start losing weight in a healthy way. 880 will not work. Figure out what you need and slow and steady wins the race. It probably didn't take you 1 week to gain the unwanted wait, so it isn't going to take you 1 week to lose it.…

While I was waiting for a friend at a doctor's office I read a magazine...can't remember the name but it showed how to put salad in a jar. So take a big mason jar (buy some, ask someone who cans to give you one or try a thrift store). Put the salad dressing (low fat) first, then lettuce , spinach, cut veg, I add…

I love carbs,,,,, but today for dinner I ate baked cod, acorn squash with a bit of parmesan cheese, steamed Brussel sprouts and a corn...oh maybe one of those is a 'carb' but I look at carbs as = bread, pasta, rice. I'm pretty full! But For the last 3 months I haven't eaten a plate of pasta like I used to. I tired…

Wow. Thanks for posting. A picture is worth a thousand words! Have you ever posted on the thread that describes the NSV ( I think it stands for not scale victories). I bet you've gotten a lot of comments in your weight loss journey, people not recognizing you, etc. Share! Good job and congratulations it sure motivated me!

Yes, sometimes it takes longer for the brain to figure out that you have this new body...same for weight gain and weight loss (in my experience).

Yes, hormones don't work for everyone.... thank goodness there are barrier methods which have no hormones ( copper iud and condoms) so really no side effects. Except I need to add that the copper iud isn't for everyone either.

Hi, I teach sex ed and this question is a very common one. About a third of women on hormonal contraceptives gain weight, a third stay the same and a third lose! The first three months are always the toughest. You are just there, so I would recommend you wait for one more month before you switch to another form (unless you…

My favourite, very filling thick smoothie is 3/4 cup non fat Greek yogurt, 1 Tablespoon light peanut butter and half a banana. Blend ...yummy and it keeps you full for a looong time (because of all the protein). Also orange juice, banana and strawberry...but the o.j. has too many calories for my liking. I also have spinach…

Made me cry....sweet!!!!!!

I love them! Thanks for sharing. I had one just this afternoon from a colleague I hardly ever see. She kept saying 'you look great' about 3 times until I finally clued in and said 'I've lost weight' and she said 'I could tell, but I don't know you enough to comment on your weight'. But sweet! :smile:

This may sound harsh...but the sooner you realize your husband can't help you with this, the happier and healthier you will be. I'm sure he's a lovely husband, and has many talents, but he just doesn't have this skill....so get more MFP friends, or other support...

Yikes! Not sure from your post if you wrote/called the 1 800 # I 'm sure is on the wrapper? Just last week I found a very very very long black hair (not mine) in a yogurt container...They apologized, told me not to eat it, return to the store (I didn't need a receipt) and the nice guy at the cashier told me that when this…

Starbucks also sells black coffee that has minimal calories, last time I checked. Anyway, good for you for logging on and refusing. What I sometimes do to get someone out of my hair because they don't get 'no' is to say yes and then leave it there (or put it in the garbage later). I do this with my neighbour who is always…

Get job...thanks for posting... very motivating....good luck on your new relationship...oh, and girl, you need to buy a new sports bra...that pink one is too big :smile:

I eat Greek yogurt almost every day. Smootie: Greek yogurt, 1/2 c of water, berries, half a banana and 1-3 cups of spinach... honey if you want..... or Greek yogurt with a tiny bit of vanilla (the real kind - no calories) and it tastes great....for a 'treat' I have Greek yogurt with a teaspoon of (homemade) jam....really…

First of all congratulations on your weight loss. Inspiring! My 2 cents worth - since you asked - is that you don't feel emotionally like you thought you'd feel.... for example, and I apologize for my lousy comparison, you final get the shampoo from those fabulous commercials and you use it and now you have super shiny…
-
That I shouldn't eat cucumbers at night because "they will sit heavy in my stomach"...that I should not eat mangos or bananas, or rice, or tortillas... that I should take up smoking.... !!! That I should watch tv because then I would be 'inspired' to lose weight after watching all the beautiful people on tv...that I should…

Thank you for posting...very helpful to see the emotional side of this journey. And congrats on such a big loss! wow.

Good job.... that BMI label sure motivated me too! Keep up the good work and thanks for posting photos

I love smoothies and eat them regularly. My favourite ones: Orange juice or milk and half - whole banana and a handful of strawberries...honey if you like. Ad Wheat germ Or 2 cups of spinach, 3/4 cup Greek yogurt, half a banana, strawberries and honey if you like... or 1 cup of milk, 1 banana 1 Tablespoon of light peanut…

That's so great ...congratulations..it's never to early to celebrate the mini milestones. I have a few of them instead of one far far away from where I am now... Keep up the good work. Have you tried weights? or walking in the pool?
