  • IMHO, too much sugar/carbs, and not enough protein. Try and eat as much "real" food as possible (avoid processed foods). Try making lean protein the focus of each of your meals, and compliment it with a leafy green veggie or fruit. Aim for > 100 grams of protein a day (minimum). Replace yogurt with plain greek yogurt or…

  • I am 19 days away and am sleepless too!!! I've tried Sleepytime Tea, which helps a little. Otherwise I would suggest trying a sleep meditation app or download from iTunes.

  • Vanilla Stoli, "Cake", or "Whipped" flavored vodka with soda water, extra limes. Tastes like a key lime pie!

  • I try and stick to one "fun" or craft beer then switch over to Mich Ultra if I want another (or two...). It's all about finding the balance between treating yourself and sacrificing some progress. Good luck!

  • I'm 5"9, 145 and trying to get down to the 135-137 range, while adding muscle (I've lost 5 lbs thus far). I like lifting, HIIT, and eating semi-clean... some of the time. Feel free to add if you have similar interests/goals!

  • Congrats to all the Brides-to-be! I am getting married in early September and am hoping to lose about 10-12 lbs, offset with added muscle mass. My one and only dress fitting is in 45 days, so I'd love to be close-to-goal by then. I have found MFP to be so helpful and I love the camaraderie it brings! My plan includes…

  • Hi All! I am so excited for everyone getting married this summer/fall! I hope for June to be a momentum month to really springboard me into a fat loss July and August for my early September wedding (although my one and only real dress fitting is on August 11th so I actually have to be in ideal shape by then). I hope to…
