You're still assessing - that's GOOD! IMO, you are eating too little for your height/weight/workout (if you're still with T25) but that is just my opinion. Plateaus are a normal part of the process so STICK TO IT. Shake things up a bit - same ol'same ol' sometimes needs a kick in the butt ;) try taking a walk on an "off"…

Hello and welcome :D I have been here over a year and you are welcome to add me :D (Just send a little message with the request so i don't skip over it LOL). I am starting an easy challenge (the series is progressive) soon and you are welcome to join us! :D Its building new healthy habits (for those new) and reforming…

A job VERY well done! You look amazing! An inspiration to be sure \o/ Congrats on getting where you want to go and kudos for your dedication to your health :smile:

First, you CAN do it. I started out in a similar place. It CAN be done and YOU can do it. Second, there is NO GOOD reason to eliminate gluten UNLESS you are allergic. I AM gluten and dairy allergic. I have a hard time getting a lot of my nutrients that my body needs BECAUSE I can't have gluten. You can do more harm than…

I agree. I love my little seeds :bigsmile: You can make chia "pudding" with them by letting them sit in coconut milk (or whatever liquid you prefer) but a lot of people have a hard time getting by the slimy texture :ohwell: I like to think of them as "tapioca" seeds :wink: I put them in my smoothies too - they thicken it…

I COMPLETELY understand. Being both gluten and dairy allergic at work really bites. I get the same thing - I can't eat the pizza party food or the cakes, cookies and whatnot that people bring in and get comments and teasing. I just plain have learned not to care. I feel better NOT having it and they aren't the ones who pay…

I started working my way up to running when i was 252 lbs. I can honestly say it was hard but the rewards FAR outweigh the difficulties. PLEASE start with walking. Not because you CAN'T run, but because you don't want to create knee problems by pushing too hard too fast. Walk as fast as you comfortably can, slowing down…

I live in Northern-most Vermont. It IS cold here but, like some else stated, I just GO. I run or walk and just bundle up. Being we are away from the city here, wildlife is a concern as is the darkness. I make sure to bundle up, wear reflective clothing, take my cellphone(in an armband), and take a flashlight ( I have…

I LOVE my NutriBullet :bigsmile: I isn't a juicer though - a juicer leave all the fiber behind (well, mine did! LOL) I MUCH prefer drinking the food i buy as opposed to tossing it in the compost :ohwell: when i want something light : cucumber, pineapple, coconut water, kale, flax seeds when i want something sturdier:…

The biggest way my family saves money eating healthy is PLANNING our menu in advance using the sales circular for our grocery store... Buy frozen veggies when you need to - saves waste thereby saving more money. as for recipes, here are a couple we use quite often. Taco meat: brown 1 # lean ground beef with on large onion…

chocolate. I hand make chocolate confections for the enjoyment of those with peanut and tree nut allergies.... and I can't eat my own product because I am dairy and gluten allergic! LMBO!!!

also hard to help when your diary isn't open to see what you've been eating ...

while I LOVE poached eggs on toast (I refuse to give up my childhood simplicities) I have found a "breakfast" salad to be a nice way to start the day or be a nice light dinner. Just place a poached egg on a bed of lettuce, add a link of breakfast sausage (diced) and top with the dressing (1 t olive oil, 1T lemon juice, 1…

In the end, it was my determination to stick to my goals (calorie AND workouts) that got me losing the most. The only one that can get you up off the couch and moving is YOU and the only one making the fork (spoon, fingers, etc) got to your mouth is YOU is what I kept telling myself. In the end it was ME that had to make…

when I first started out: Jillian Michaels workouts on youtube, bodyrocktv, and dailyhiit.com were very good at kicking my butt. Now, I do those on occasion but I mainly run, hike with hubby and use Turbo Fire. walking, running, and phone apps work well for little and no money as well.
-
I have done both. I lost weight with WW but have had more success here, made more friends here and spent less money here. I love MFP. I agree with above though in that BOTH will only work if you work at them. It isn't an easy journey - my MFPeeps make it easier though :bigsmile:

My day has become a schedule all on its own :ohwell: It NORMALLY goes something like this... 230am up, breakfast, feed dogs and let out, feed cat, make hubby's lunch and dress 330am - 2pm work 210 let dogs out, spend some "they missed me" time with the dogs 230pm workout 330pm snack 4 start prepping dinner, answer emails,…

AWESOME JOB!! CONGRATS!!!!

ditto :laugh:

other than TONS of fruits veggies and such, I usually keep on hand a lot of canned beans of various varieties, canned chiles, with taco seasoning and fresh sprouted corn tortillas, canned tomatoes, fish (fresh and frozen fillets), brown rice (the boil-in bag kind for quick cooking), quinoa, veggie burgers and canned…

EXCELLENT NSV!!!! I must admit, if I ever saw my husband in my britches, I'd LMBO but I guess as long as you don't parade around town in them you're good to go! :laugh: :wink:

^^^ THIS. When I started running, I was 232lbs. I am just ran my second 5k and I didn't finish last :wink: I am NOT a fast runner (about a 13 minute mile) but i'm slowly making progress and I LOVE to run. Start slow. Just little slow intervals increasing as you get comfortable. Remember, compare your runs ONLY to YOUR…

I've done both and its easier for me to hold a locked pushup form... its easier to hold my hips and tummy off the ground because your arms are helping to increase the distance from the floor.... when i'm on my elbows, if my hips dip, its done for so I have to hold my hips and tummy firmer so as not to dip.... a better…

-marinate in apple cider, onion powder, garlic powder, sea salt and black pepper (I do overnight), pound thin just before grilling (or grill pan). serve with brown/wild rice and broccoli or salad (or on a salad with a mustard vinaigrette) - cut each breast in half, pound to an even thickness (without smashing to bits!…
