I log my weight around every two weeks or so.

I use shakeology in my diet. They have chocolate, greenberry and tropical. They taste great especially when you mix fruit with them. It has all the nutritional value you need and it's only 150 calories! Check it out: beachbodycoach.com/brittney85 http://www.myshakeology.com/brittney85

Typically the nutritional facts will tell you. For example, rice: 1/2 (dry) makes 1 cup cooked. You best bet is to just measure dry and measure again once it's cooked. That's what I do, especially foods that are high in calories like whole grain rice & whole wheat pastas.

I am there! I would like to shed 5lbs myself.. While keep my muscle mass :)

I've tried it. I use it for nutritional purposes. I love the chocolate!

Good for you! I love the chocolate one, it's my FAV :)

Alicia, Don't give up!! Ask yourself some questions and see what answers you get: 1. Am I eating enough? If you aren't your body will go into preservation mode, and you will actually gain weight 2. Are you drinking plenty of water? This helps flush your system 3. Are you eating enough fiber? We all know what fiber does :)…

I'M not saying its not possible but you want to make sure you lose it the right way. Losing large amounts of weight fast results loose skin if you give your body time to adjust to the weight loss. But you go girl! Keep me posted.

I commend you for doing Insanity and sticking with it!! I completed Insanity twice already and it's definitely tough!!! You can do anything if you put your mind to it!! Being a women of color you have natural curves but to be completely honest, something has to give. You will lose some curves and your butt will go down.…

It will be much easier to log in your workouts once you get your HRM, especially when it tells you the calories burned. Then you can create your own personal workouts and enter your information what way. For now, you can put your information under Database under the exercise tab and look for the best one that describes.…

It could be muscle that you are gaining. Muscle weighs more than fat, just keep that in mind :) Make sure you are drinking your water as not to maintain that water weight.

Staying on track while out of town gets easier the more you do it. It would be awesome if they could accommodate your healthy eating a little. Don't think it's selfish! That's crazy =) Fitness is a lifestyle. How about working out early in the AM before everyone gets up or late at night when everyone is winding down. I…

Use the goals tab on MFP and this will help you figure out how many calories to consume. It's pretty good too! P90X or Insanity workouts should also help tremendously with your weight loss along with healthy eating. Good Luck and I am sure you will do fine =) Welcome to MFP!

Fresh Fruit, Whey protein shake and ice with a little bit of water.. YUM!!

I don't have a lot to lose but we can be friends and still motivate each other!! :happy:

Good Luck! If you stick to your goals and calorie intake, you will lose it! Remember cardio is key to weight loss and keeping it off :happy:

Sometimes are bodies get used to our everyday routine, even when you gradually interduce something new. What you will need to do is totally switch up your workouts. How many days a week to you workout ? What are you eating THROUGHOUT the day? Drinking water is good, don't stop that. Trips to the bathroom are annoying but…
