1/2 cup of Breakstone low sodium cottage cheese 1 cup of sliced peaches in juice my post workout snack. I'm about to go make lunch now! :)

I am having the EXACT same problem! I really overdid it on thanksgiving and I felt horrible yesterday and continuing on this morning from the meal. And had a whopping 4 lb gain from all of the salt/water retention. Bleg! But I had a great morning at the gym today and I am feeling TONS better. I can only hope I can get some…

Thank you so much for this website!! It truly is a blessing as it has helped me take control of my eating and made me enjoy adding exercise in my life. This is such a great tool. Thanks again!!

It was pictures that were taken at my Grandmother's 80th birthday in September. I got them back in October and they put me in a state of shock. I had known that I was overweight, but that person was not who I see in the mirror everyday. Maybe it is because I was standing around with the rest of my not-so-fat family that…

I second on the greek yogurt!! it is great stuff, I eat it everyday. I love the Chobani brand. It is a little more expensive than regular yogurt, but I think the trade off of less sugar, more protein is worth it!

weighing in at 243 this week, down 2 lbs from last week! just 3 lbs away from my first mini-goal!!! Hope everyone has a great thanksgiving week!

I'm a non-mom and I would love to join you all! I am married, have been for 6.5 years. I have two furry kids, a greyhound and a quarter horse! I have entirely let myself go since I got together with my husband with weight gain totaling 110 pounds. I have currently lost 15 and am trying to get myself back down to the weight…

Ice Cream (this used to be a nightly ritual) Fast Food (i'd eat fast food several times a week) Soda (mtn. dew is my fav!) Coffee (starbucks) Microwave dinners (some of these are so bad for you, I now prepare my own meals fresh) Candy/Chocolate (another daily ritual) Pizza (I would eat have a pie in one sitting!) I thought…

I watched it at the gym while I was on the treadmill. you are a great inspiration. Congrats on your success!

I got about 15 pages in and I had to stop because I was laughing so hard it hurt!!!! this website is the best!

Congrats!! That sounds like a blast!! i'm jealous that you are able to compete in something like this :) way to go!!!

I just joined a gym yesterday, and believe me when I say I have the same inhibitions as you. I just feel sooo out of place as the fat chick on the exercise equipment!! But it is going to be so good in the long run. I have a feeling I'll be going there often and eventually even joining in with those group exercise classes…

Count me in! I'll have to start with the wall push-ups since it has been FOREVER since i've done real ones and even when I have done real ones I could only do about 5 lol. thanks for starting this challenge!

Checking in! challenge sw: 257 challenge cw: 247 woo hoo 10 pounds!! I am interested in joining that push up challenge for november. I too cannot even do one regular one!! I've been looking at the website hundredpushups.com and have been intrigued. I'm going to look for that thread now! hope everyone had a great weekend :)

I feel the exact same way! I used to be constantly eating sweets. Ice cream was a NIGHTLY thing for me, if it was in the freezer I had a bowl every night. Chocolate, cheese cake, and other candies were a constant thing in my diet. I have not had a single craving for them! I do allow myself a 60 calorie fudgecicle pop every…

awesome job on the spreadsheet! that must have taken you a lot of time to do. love it!

Made these tonight and they were great! Def can't tell there is anything "healthy" about them. I didn't tell anyone in my family that the were so lets see if they notice. I used a 50/50 mix of wheat and white flour and also used a stevia sugar blend instead of splenda and they still turned out great! Thanks for the recipe!

I have also been on this site for a little over a week. It has been fantastic! I just turned 30 and also need to lose over 100 pounds. I don't think I have ever had this much success losing weight in the last 5 years than when I started using the MFP android app and then the actual website. Reading about everyone's…

This is one of the sticky threads at the top of this forum. Read all of the links and you might then understand why we eat our exercise calories. I suggest reading all of the sticky threads so you understand what this site is for and how it will help you. good luck with your journey!…

Can't wait to try this. I love soups and I have several cans but can't believe how much sodium is in them!! :noway: Makes me go WAY over my daily sodium. thanks for the recipe!!
