I've been eating frozen dinners for lunch and dinner because of my work and school schedule. I know these usually have a ton of sodium so I am careful to only pick out the ones that have around 500mg of sodium per meal. if I do that then I am ok as far as water weight. healthy choice is really good about sodium levels,…

Hi there! This is my second time around here on MFP, I have a total of 115 pounds to lose this time. I lost 40 about a year ago but gained it all back last semester (it was the semester from HELL!). We can do this!!!

1. Silence of the Lambs 2. The Godfather 3. The Godfather II 4. Angela's Ashes 5. is kind of a toss up, but i think i'm going to go with The Breakfast Club. :happy:

I've just started buying them to eat in between classes tuesday - thursday and they've been great! I really like the flavors. The are such a great source of protein too. What's not to love? :smile:

i second the flannel shirt over the dress. I also remember not combing my hair EVER when I was in high school (ewww) but that was cool to have crazy messed up hair! but yes, flannel is a must!

I'm from West Chicago (the town not the west side) and currently live in North Aurora (again, the town, not the north side :wink: )

wow look at you! you look fan-friggin-tastic!!! WTG on your success!

sounds very similar to how the guy who did the documentary "Fat Head" ate. If you have netflix it is on instant streaming. check it out!

From West Chicago, IL (hi jamie!) but my heart belongs in Texas!!

MFP is great! I also found it thru my phone app, but the community here is wonderful! I have a goal of 100lbs to lose (of which I have lost 24!). I will probably adjust my goal once I get there, but for now 100lbs lighter is just a great goal for me. I'm sending you a friend request!

I'd love to join!!

Thanks for posting these, so inspirational!

If it's not too late I'd like to join this challenge! I've been a member of MFP since October of last year but have REALLY let myself go over the past couple of months. I lost 40lbs and gained 20 back!!! :noway: So I am looking to lose those 20 lbs again by September 5th! It would be really great because my sister's…

geeze a few hours and i'm already on the 3rd page, lol! p.s. I am looking for friends, new and veterans of MFP. I'm hoping to join some groups too, but you guys help me so don't be shy! :flowerforyou:

I agree with the sodium statement. Your body will retain fluid if you eat too much sodium and since the 4lbs happened in one day, I would absolutely guess that is the reason for the gain. Give yourself a couple of lower sodium days and it should come right off :)

I agree with tamiash. Coconut milk is not something I would drink on it's own, but mixed in with other things it's wonderful! I have used in oatmeal and cereal and it always comes out wonderful :)

bump!

There is a group that is for people that have/had 100 lbs or more to lose. I'm not very active on there anymore (school takes up WAY too much of my time!) but they are a very supportive group of people! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/185815-need-to-lose-100-lbs-or-more-lets-start-a-group I had a total of 102 lbs…

you look great!! congrats to you success :drinker:

I'm with jennwoodley, celery = BLEG!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_calorie_food

Sargento has low sodium cheeses and they are yummy!! I eat the string cheese, colby jack, and cheddar cheese sticks all the time! I would go nuts if i didn't have cheese :bigsmile:

thanks, yet again, for all of your kind words. it is really appreciated!!

You look so great! It's like a totally different person. Cheers to your success!! :drinker:

Thanks again everyone =)
