  • Nothing wrong with being a trophy girl for your hubby! thats awesome!
  • I love my coffee in the morning too! maybe just try to limit yourself to 1-2 cups a day and stop there! If your looking to drinking teas, I've read in a bunch of different articles that say green tea is the best way to go! It supposedly speeds up your metabolism and has antioxidants in it too! Just make sure that you…
  • so agree! couldn't agree with you more on this one! good post!
  • shut theeeee ??? up! I can't believe someone had the nerve to be so rude! I guess I shouldn't be so suprised since I do live in this town and know what jerks alot of people can be!!! With that being said... I want you so bad now to show those girls whose boss! Push yourself even harder now and even if its a few years from…
  • ITS SO CRAZY HOW THERES SO MANY HIDDEN CALORIES IN IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYTHING! I RECOMMEND READING THE "EAT THIS NOT THAT" BOOK! SINCE EVERYTHING IS FILLED WITH CALORIES AT LEAST IT HELPS YOU CHOOSE THE BETTER OF THE CHOICES! IT REALLY OPENS YOUR EYES TO WHERE YOU CAN SAVE 100 CALORIES HERE AND THERE!
  • don't feel bad... I'm having the same problem. I just thought it was my thyroid acting up lately but reading the others comments makes me think I too need some biotin and other vitamins? I do agree though with one of the past comments about thyroid problems. When I first found out I have hypothyroidism I knew something was…
  • try to eat more calories but in healthy foods like lean proteins and fruit, veggies. Also pay attention to your processed/ packaged foods. One rule I TRY to remember is anytime you see high fructose corn syrup, or sugar in the list of ingredients... don't eat it. Yoplait was one of my fave snacks but I had to delete it…
  • In the beginning when I would tell people about it its as if I was selling it to them! I would go through the details, features, and tell them how great it is! Some of them have joined, some of them have stuck with it, and some have quit. My personal rule is when people ask what I'm doing to lose weight I just say, working…
  • of course drink a ton of water for you and the baby. The way that I've been logging my breastfeeding calories is go under snacks and add breastfeeding nursing mother to your snacks or one of your meals and estimate the amount in ozs that you feed your baby a day. It calculates it for you. This so far has been successful…
  • working out in intervals.. like start slow, speed up as hard and as fast as you can go, then slow down for the next 2 minutes and do over and over again for the whole time of your workout. Spinning classes are the perfect example of interval classes. Also drink green tea (recommended 3 glasses a day). Eat 6 small meals a…
  • it taste delicious with pineapples!
  • cut up some pork (chops or roast either one) cook it all the way, drain the grease. Add some chopped up green chile, onions, garlic (or garlic powder), tomatoes and you have yummy green chile. eat it with some mexican rice using no grease only tomato sauce or whole tomatoes and beans... wonderful mexican dish if you ask me!
  • don't live to eat..... EAT TO LIVE!!!!
  • I used to do monday mornings but then I would eat a little more on the weekends and it would be a bummer everytime! Fridays are my favorite day. For me I work out most days during the week and I always do better with eating during the week too so it made sense to me to do weigh in after a hard work week and if then I…
  • hello welcome to mfp! you will like it here if you do it! mfp is here for support, and to open your eyes to what you are actually eating. Theres some foods that I ate all my life that I never knew were fattening until I joined here. The best piece of advice is to be honest to yourself! Even when you don't want to face a…
  • I sooo agree with you on that! Treats do turn to disasters so quick! And not only that but for me a treat on a cheat day turns into me craving more of that treat in a couple of hours and the next morning and on and on. Its basically just a tease for me so its better if I just stay away completely! And I know the feeling of…
  • WOW! great idea! I have a measuring tape and thanks to you as soon as I get off of work I'm gonna go measure myself!! Way to go!
  • don't waste your calories on any empty calories like juices or refined flour foods like tortillas. They take up way too many calories, make your want more, and don't keep you full. Fill up on fruits, (apple w/ reduced fat peanut butter is my fave) veggies, and whole wheat items. Also what works for me sometimes is to start…
  • I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING (on the 1st of the month... woops!) but I am back on the deal!! thanks for the idea... or should I say reminder!!
  • I have been going to zumba for a couple of months to two different instructors and they are both so different! One is more hip hop ish, and the other is more latin! But the fun thing about it is that you can expect to go in have a good time, shake your booty, and get a great workout! And don't worry about looking like a…
  • I usually enter it in my snacks for the day. Just enter nursing mother and estimate how many oz's that you breast fed the baby and it adds in calories for you. I am not on a specific diet since I am still nursing but eating a well balanced healthy diet has helped me to lose weight and I'm sure that eating all the extra…
  • Welcome to My fitness pal! As long as you stay committed to yourself I think you'll see a difference! Patience is the key! You can do it! Yay you!!!!
  • baby steps are the best way to do it in my opinion! before you know it you won't even miss the cokes or sweets and you'll feel so much better and want to stick with the healthy lifestyle! Good luck!
