Maybe once or twice a month because I don't own a scale. I have to drive to the gym 20 min from my house if I want to weigh in and I will only do it after a full 8 hours of sleep, after I pee, but before I drink any water at all. I weigh in with a sports bra and pants and socks, no shoes. If I happen to go to the sauna I…

I just started doing it and I love it. Though someone said to do it as a cheat meal not a day and that works way better for me:) I do once a week but I will have say a piece of candy ( like 4 peanut m and m's) every now and again through out the week as a lil cheat.

I used to have the same porblem ( it's only every once in a great while that i do now) and i t h i n k it was becasue i wasn't eating well rounded enough. I was watching my calories but eating a ton of carbs in the am which gave me a spike in energy followed but a dip. It doesn't happen as much now as I am more careful…

hmm okI see everyones point. I look at it as a low calorie diet. I also see it as an "easy" low calorie diet because you don't have to think that much about it. cereal. cereal. small dinner. a cup of cereal and a cup of milk = 220 calories pick something a LITTLE more nutritious like 2 eggs and a slice of sanwich ham = 230…

My cellulite is genetic but like a previous poster said, as soon as I dropped the extra 10 pounds I put on it dissapeared:) I have 2tiny dimples on one thigh but those are fading as I do more leg and thigh work!!

You go over in sugar but does sugar have any other affect on you? If it doesnt impede your progress i wouldn't worry too much about it. I say that since you say it's coming from natural fructose. Personally I cut my sugar and I see it is TOTALLY helping my progress. I have one "cheat" meal a week and this week it was a…

I've been really good lately but I remember this happening. It would take 3 days to show up on me. Now it depends on what I consume. If i have a beer now it IMMEDIATELY shows up:( drinking more than 4 oz of milk bloats me severely too. And it doesnt matter HOW clean I eat, I ALWAYS gain an inch the week of my woman curse…

VERY ( incredibly) good point! I will be sure to caution how I give the advice of "do what works for you"

To each thier own! I try to write what works for me but every BODY is different. You offering what works for you is educating them. And thats what these forums are all about. It is hard to educate yourself about nutrition, it is a long process to find valid research and there are so many conflicting studies and srticles…

Last weel I ran 3 miles stright for the first time ever! This week i ran 5 miles straight for the first time ever! I have been running for 3 years and improving little by little every week:) I am now doing 5 days a week no less than 10 miles a week, this week my goal is 19 miles for the week!

In additon to the other sugesstions, I used to do one leg stands while cleaning ( kinda like standing leg splits. That worked my legs and bum. Then, I would do poses while I was on the floor mopping ( balance on one knee and one hand while one leg was straight and thee other hand was scrubing. Do sit ups for 2 min a day…

Hmmm, I'm surprised no one mentioned healthy carbs. I googled a list. Ditto on the avacado and nuts-walnuts and almonds for me. I drink over 2 liters of water MOST days too.

or almond butter as a substitute for peanut butter...it's better for you...

My personal favorite and hangover remedy is: 1/2 almond milk as MUCH spinach as you can fit in it ( or just 10-15 leaves if your not hungover) 2 tbsp peanut butter a handful of walnuts a banana I'd suggest google or facebook pages about smoothies/eating green/juicing pages. I have a ton of pages that post recipies daily on…

will he be close enough to you to "grocery shop" at your house? hat way it would be easier to continue to buy in bulk, ( if you do) When I was single living with my son ( he was under 10) I spent maybe $150-200 and that was just enough. A lot of oatmeal and wheat bread and eggs and tuna! I'd buy beans and cook them myself…

lol, yeah ell I only drink $40 wine, I only eat really really good food...its a trade off:) worth it for me but to each their own! I used to have the same philosiphy, that I am gonna eat whatever I want and not deprive myself, but I had to make a choice, eat great and look great or eat ok and look ok. My husband is a…

How OLD are you!?! Sounds like my diet ten years ago!! ( I'm 32 and my stupid womens metabolism has s l o w e d down. I think it stopped working the way it did in my twenties the WEEK I turned 30. )

I was logging my drinks for a long time and then I started eating REALLY healthy...and after 3 weeks of being REALLY healthy and had 3 drinks and it was ALL bad. I got SO wretchedly sick. Felt like death the next day. It litterally felt as though I had POISENED my body. 2 glasses of red wine. one martini. i've always been…

I was doing that pretty much all last year and while I lost...( 10 lbs in one year) It took so much more work. Now I am 5 days a week at the gym, running 15 miles a week and weight lifting, gaining weight but getting thinner:) And so much quicker! So I have stuck to eating clean. Since the husband is on board it's so much…

I was like that up unitl a month ago when the husband jumped on board my fitness kick. It's much easier to eat clean now. I just started REALLY seing and feeling results from eating 100% clean so we stuck to it. My question to you is how often do you ndulge in an ice cream or pizza? I will have 2 bites to satisfy a craving…

hmm...I like this Idea....though it was one meal I still saw a difference. On NYE I ate a TON, and had a glass of wine and LOST inches. It wasn't bad food though.

Thank you! This is the conversation I have with my son all the time: "I'm an adult. You are a child. I am your mother. I tell you what to do. You do it. Remember? You can ask why but it needs to be respectful, you still have to do it, and I don't always have to explain myself..to..you." Most of the time he laughs. Maybe…

I did a great cleanse a time or two. I lost inches not weight. Now, I dont pay for cleanses, I do it NATURALLY. Juicing greens is a GREAT detox. I checked out a book from the library and tried some of the recipies and WOW did it "clean me out. No gimmicks, just veggies that naturally help your body get rid of junk. I eat…

WOwza! lookin good mama!

Remember, every BODY is different. I have been on mfp at least a year and I really had to play around with calories, times I ate during the day, types of food ( high in carbs or protien) for a year before I figured oout what really worked for me. I am pretty much always "under everyday" unless it is a "cheat" day. And I…

I am a newlywed so we all say things out of anger. Channel that hurt energy into action! When me and my husband fight I let it go mainly because if I don't its a LONG life to be mad at your spouse. I gained weight with my husband too, I started losing it and now I am the healthiest I have evef been! I think the worst he…

I have been on MFP for awhile now but all my friends have dropped off! I need some motivation!! I have been on a good 5x's a week excersize kick for a month now! add me:)

I'm 5'2 measurements when started MFP 2 weeks ago: Bust: 38 Waist: 28.5 Hips: 38 goal: Bust 36 Waist 26 Waist 38 ( but I already lost an inch ! ( sad face I like a big butt!)

Helpful for me! I'm day two here and am skeptical bout how many MORE calories I'm being told to eat but SIGH I gotta try it!

I get it...but it still seems crazy to me to eat so many calories. I do remember in my 20's ( wahh! I miss that muscle tone!) I would eat a LOT when I was really active in the gym. I have been eating healthy for a month now. Lost belly fat but no inches off the waist which is what I need to fit my wedding dress grrrr!
