Perdue makes a type of frozen chicken nuggets that are low breading and pretty low carb (4g carbs and 150 calories for 5 nuggets), and they're pretty good. You could microwave those nuggets for yourself and make "regular" ones for your child. Or give her those nuggets since really they're just chicken in a convenient and…

Thank you, everyone! Thank you! I just had to super-focus for a couple weeks on improving the quality overall of my exercise and diet, eating the right foods rather than just the right number of calories. And I started using the Zombies, Run! app which is awesome. I totally recommend it.

Chicken salad, no dressing, with mild salsa, cheese, sour cream, and guacamole-yes-I-know-it's-extra. :) My order's the same at other similar places like Qdoba and Moe's, though at Qdoba I get the dressing and not the black bean and corn salsa, and at Moe's I also get grilled onions because they're separate from the…

Congratulations! I have a bit of the waddle going on too, but haven't thought about looking at my footprints recently. What a great idea!
-
Congratulations! You look great!
-
Bonjour! I hope you enjoy your stay!

I'm on a mix of low-calorie, low-carb diet because of other health issues. I try not to eat over 100 carbs a day. But honestly, the "secret" is simply logging in every day. On days where I "mess up", or I don't know the calories of what I'm eating (like yesterday, I ate hibachi chicken and vegetables at a Chinese buffet,…

Not necessarily a food tip, but if you have the time and resources to cook in bulk, I would definitely recommend it. On days when I don't have class, I cook a lot of food, and then just reheat it through the week when I'm pressed for time. I'll make two pounds of boneless skinless chicken breasts at once, and then use them…

When I lost my first 15 pounds, my reward was a new pair of running/workout shoes. 30 pounds is a new haircut and hairdye (and I need it, too! Yikes!) 50 pounds is an hrm. After that, I'll see what comes up!
-
Wow, what a great story! Congrats on your success.

Lite Cool Whip, stuck in the freezer. It becomes a similar consistency to ice cream, and it's only 20 calories for two tablespoons.
-
That's such a "great" feeling, even though you might be feeling like crap! I woke up in a similar way after eating a slice of pecan pie last night. It used to be one of my absolute favorite foods, but not anymore if I'm going to feel like that in the morning.
-
At first it looked delicious, but after a little bit it did start to make me thirsty, haha! I love all those things separately, just not sure about together. And it's definitely not worth twice my daily calories for one slice!
-
I started with a lot to lose as well. For me, I first saw a difference in my progress pictures around 15lbs, but only now at 23lbs lost are my clothes starting to feel a little loose. I won't be going down a size any time soon, since before my clothes were super tight and barely fitting, and now they're just slightly…
-
My goal is to lose a total of 25lbs by the start of school, so I have 2.5 more to go. :)

I'm pretty much forced to do a low-carb diet because of my PCOS. If I ate three hundred calories under, yet ate the recommended amount of carbs that MFP says, I would gain weight every day. I usually try to stay around 100 carbs a day, even when I exercise. Sometimes I give my body a little boost and cut back one day every…

That's wonderful! Congratulations on beating your personal best. That's such a great feeling.
-
Thank you all so much! It means a lot. :)
-
I could only get the second one to work.
-
Feel free to friend me! I'm in a very similar spot weight-wise AND goal-wise. Late night snacking is my downfall, too. :)
-
I'm around that point, too. I usually walk at a brisk pace, something that will break a sweat. Also try crunches and reverse crunches, or any exercise that doesn't put strain on your knees. If you have access to a pool, I would suggest swimming. It's great exercise that works multiple parts of your body (including legs)…

Absolute silence, and either total darkness or a nightlight somewhere in the room (mainly so I don't stub my toe on the way to the bathroom in the middle of the night!) Every little sound distracts me when I'm trying to fall asleep and jerks me back into awake mode. I absolutely cannot fall asleep with the tv on, because I…

Congratulations! I love seeing people with PCOS be successful in their journey to health. It makes me feel like I can make it, too. For so long, I've used PCOS as an excuse for why I'm heavy, but not any more!
-
Oh gosh, this! They're only "heart healthy" if you get a sub with no condiments! I don't want just a see-through slice of ham on a giant sub roll.
-
Peanut butter, fruit juices, healthy choice/lean cuisine/smart ones meals (the sodium!!!!), and fruits with a high amount of sugar.
-
Drinking eight glasses of water a day might not necessarily have all the benefits that experts used to claim, but I still tend to drink sixty-four ounces anyway because, why not? It's pretty easy for me to drink sixteen ounces at each meal (just one standard water bottle), and then another two throughout the day. What…
-
Wow, that's amazing! You're much braver than me, haha.
-
Congratulations!!!!! I have PCOS also (and currently PMS-ing again for the first time in God knows how long), so I know just how exciting that is to see a positive result!
-
Congrats! That's an awesome NSV!
