  • Welcome back!! I am also wanting to loose over 100 lbs, actually 115 to be exact! :) I have lost 7 lbs in the past 4 weeks and am really using MFP to help log my food and stay on track. We can do this! Just take it tiny goals at a time, mine is 24 lbs by 5/18...then another 25 by 8/20...little bit at a time. I know when I…
  • OMG!! I do the exact same thing!!! My mom told me about them and I thought well I could try it, and now I love them as an after dinner chocolate fix. I also take it out of the container and put it in a little bowl with a ltitle whipped cream, it makes it seem like theres more there and it almost feels like cheating…
  • Nice job!!!! :flowerforyou:
  • I think so. The backs of my legs and calves were a bit sore the first couple times I wore them...my butt was a little sore as well, but now I'm used to them so I don't notice the soreness anymore.
  • I love mfp, mostly because it's free and has so many great tools to use. My best friend and her husband have been doing ww for about 7 months and have both lost over 50 lbs and love it. They weight in every week and do an amazing job with exercise....I told her about mfp and we talk several times a week and share different…
  • I have Easytones and they did take a few times to get used to since they do make you a little off balance. I do wear them as much as possible, especially when I walk my dogs during the week. I do feel a difference when I wear them though. In the pamphlet that came with the shoes it says the more you wear them the better…
  • I use a website called emealz. My fiance is not on a healthy eating plan, however we go to the gym together and do much of our exercise together. We have always had problems when it comes to dinners since I want healthier options and he doesn't really want the things I eat. I found that emealz is so easy and the dishes are…
  • I think 1200 is pretty low especially if you are exercising as well. You want to be careful not to be to restrictive because in reality most people who are end up gaining weight back and/or go on eating binges because they feel so deprived. Everyone is different and if your doctor/dietician/MFP is telling you 1200 is to…
  • Welcome Brad!!
  • I agree. You can not force her and she has to want it. Maybe do some research online and show her the consequences and that she can change it. Pushing her is not going to help, I was pushed to loose weight and it just made me angry. Then when I really wanted it, not for anyone else but for myself, I started to loose…
  • I would agree with adding snacks. You need several small meals through out the day. If you have class during the day, maybe try to bring along something that is portable and quick. After 3-4 hours your body goes into "starvation" mode, so be sure to re-fuel and not skip snakcs, just make sure they are healthy options!!…
  • Oatmeal is not low in carbs, but it is super healthy. As long as its regular plain, and not all the flavored stuff. :wink:
  • Yeahh!!! Very exciting news. I love bananas and eat them often, but when I log my food I sometimes get discouraged because of the carb content. But at least it is a healthy alternative to those darn chocolate cookies :) Jess
  • haha! :laugh: Remember Y2K, all the computers were going to crash and it was going to be the end of the world!!?? Hm, 9 years later and we're still here...there's always speculation but only God knows that one :wink:
  • Hi! I don't take multi vitamins, but I do take magnesium, flax seed and glucosamine chondroitin. However, they are all taken under the direction of my doctor. I don't experience any side effects, the only thing I have noticed is a couple stomach problems with the addition of the magnesium a few weeks back. But it has…
  • Thanks!!! I am very excited and wow you've lost a lot...way to go!!!
