I just started this month. Today was my third session. I signed up for 8x a month. I definitely lost a pound with just the 2 works outs and no changes to my diet. I am not back to tracking food intake yet but have not made any other changes. I may have lost more than that as the scale dipped even lower, but I am only…

As far as bananas, the more ripe they are, the better the ratio for those of us who deal with a low FODMAP diet.

I'm in! Had a shock to the system when I was weighed at the doctor's office on Monday. I had been a regular at MFP in the past but not recently. I am now at the heaviest I have ever been and will ever be. I will not go back here again! I got rid of my clothing for this size the last time I lost weight and don't want a…

Since quitting cold turkey isn't working and diet sodas are not an option (and not a healthy choice either), begin weaning yourself off. Treat it like a medical issue. How much soda do you drink in a day? If it's normally 4 cans or glasses (for example), allow yourself 4 for a day for a week. Next week, you are allowed 3 a…

Not yet, but I will before the day is out! Dinner came in at 685 calories. Couldn't resist having some stuffing and a little bit of gravy, but I held off on seconds. Probably overdid it on the mashed sweet potatoes, but better that than some other things. I have about 175 calories left for the day, but we have not had…

The Thomas's Pumpkin Spice Bagel thins are something like 110 calories and totally work for my bagel fixes. Our supermarket also sells day old bagels sliced quite thinly. Another way to cut the carbs and calories from a bagel.

I am around 5 feet tall. I0 lbs generally works out to a pants size for me.

I was just thinking the exact title of this post. I've lost 7 lbs in the last 6 weeks since joining MFP. My goal is another 5 by December, so count me in

My gym has a machine that provides a little assist. Makes a huge difference. I am sure I have not done a pull-up in decades. Tried it yesterday for the first time with the machine and did 4! Did 7 today with less of an assist. It's almost like having some on spot you at the very bottom.

Breast tissue is primarily a fatty tissue. When you lose weight, typically they will change (but not always). How they change depends on your specific body composition and your medical history (age, pregnancy history, etc).

This morning, my daughter and I made egg and banana pancakes for the first time. 2 eggs and 1 banana, blended together. Total- 245 calories. SOOO good and very quick! You can add a little vanilla, salt, cinnamon, a few chocolate chips, whatever! We tried vanilla in one batch. I think it's not necessary at all. It was too…

I imagine most women have been aware of vanity sizing for several years. My best example is from a few years ago. I had a pair of black pants that I adored. Size 8, petite. Didn't need to hem them which is a huge plus for me. I wore them so often that they no longer looked good a year or so later. When I found the exact…

Are you sure it is fat? That would be an incredibly quick time to put on that much without gaining a large amount of weight. My guess, without seeing you, is that it is bloating. Your body makes large amounts of progesterone during pregnancy.Progesterone levels that high can cause bloating. It is why many women feel more…

Good question I stumbled across the Tabata method of interval training this morning... the concept that a short high intensity workout is more beneficial than a longer moderate intensity workout.. which makes me think the answer to your question might be 3 bursts of 20 minutes. That said, an hour on the same machine is…

Isn't it crazy?? I regained weight this summer. My husband had started buying muffins at the supermarket bakery. I often had half a muffin for breakfast this summer, sometimes a whole muffin. Found out this week that they are 600 calories per muffin!!! No more muffins for me unless I make them myself.
