Yeah, someone else going through the exact same thing!! I also stopped sugar on Monday. So far so good. I've had headaches and have been super tired, but when I need to take a nap, I do. I made a killer broccoli cheese soup that is very filling and really good that I'll have if I'm feeling sorry for myself. Actually, I…

My picture!

I never drink anything when I'm eating. Its better for your digestive system to only eat solid food - when you're done eating, then you drink whatever you want. This takes care of the usual food/soda combos like pizza, wings, nachos, etc. Pizza and water just doesn't cut it, but eating pizza alone and then drinking water…

NutriBullet is the best in my opinion. Hubby and I have been making smoothies for almost 3 years now. We're on our second bullet and wouldn't be without one. JMHO

I don't drink anything when I eat. I think I read somewhere that its best to not drink when eating as it interferes with digestion. After my meal, I drink water as usual.

So geez, what will we have left to say??????? lol

I personally prefer to not sync my Fitbit with MFP. I use a small calendar and every night for the past 2 years, I write down my daily steps. I can also log into the Fitbit site if I want to for reference. I use MFP to log my exercise because if I lift weights, or do some other form of exercise that doesn't involve taking…

My latest is vanilla Greek yogurt with 1/2 scoop protein powder, PB2, and ground flax seed (sometimes I add a TBS of real natural peanut butter). Very rich and delish!!

Today is my 500th day with MFP also and you have really made me look bad. lol I've only lost 38 lbs, but will never give up either. I look forward to the day I can be brave enough to not log, but that day is a long way off for me. "I am more determined than ever" as my shirt states!! Thank you for sharing your story and…

Check out FitnessBlender on YouTube - tons of videos on there.

I vote for the smoothies, I have one almost every morning with both spinach and kale added to different fruit and protein powder. Also, I put a paper towel inside the plastic container and it helps to absorb the moisture. Seems to last a bit longer.

I'm only 63 - I normally keep my friend list very small so I can devote enough time to respond to everyone's post each day, but I would love to have more over 60 friends. I began this current weight loss journey in March 2013 and have lost 43 lbs. and then I stalled (my own fault). I still have another 30 or so pounds to…

Made my Friday morning - great read to start the weekend!! There is so much negativity on these forums sometimes, its nice to see some humor!!! THANK YOU!!!!!

Thanks for sharing - I've been looking for a healthy protein bar that's not loaded with junk. I think I will also use both protein powder and PB2.

Thanks for the flowers!

BACON - you need BACON!!!!!

I make my own salad dressing with fat free Greek yogurt, Ranch dressing mix (not much because its high in sodium), and a little hot sauce and I take it whenever go to a restaurant and know I'm going to be ordering a salad for dinner. I've never had anyone question me about it. Saves a ton of calories. Shirley

I've been using one for two years now and absolutely love it. I start every morning with blueberries, spinach, kale, protein powder, cinnamon, 1/2 banana, and strawberries - fill 1/2 way with water and that's it. Great way to begin the day!!! You'll love it.

I have a weighted hoop also and love it although I've just recently picked it up again after it gathering dust for a few years. lol I should probably take out a section or two because it is quite large. It brings me back to my childhood. I once kept the hoop going for over an hour (a regular one) - my dad loved timing me.…

Sounds delish!!! Sending warm weather from Florida to you all. :)

Cool map!!

I have no advice and have lost only 40 lbs thus far, but I'm much older (63), and of course I'm experiencing the same thing. Posted to see others replies, hoping for tips also. I try to tell myself its better and healthier than the extra weight, but I just don't feel attractive. I feel your pain!!!!

OMG - how inspiring!!!! You are truly an awesome person. Good luck with your future endeavors!!!!!

I thought I was being smart and decided to order an appetizer and sides at Bone Fish Grill instead of a whole meal, to save calories, So I ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp, green beans, and another side (can't remember). When I got home and logged it, I realized it was 4 servings!!! I ate 1,500 calories just for the shrimp. It…

Fantastic accomplishment - your story is so inspiring and just what I needed to read today. Thanks so much for sharing and keep up the good work. Your goal is right around the corner!!!!

You look great - awesome!!! Are you sure you need to lose another 50 lbs.? Maybe 20-30 would be fine - just saying!!

Awesome job - well done!!! Thanks for sharing with us - this is what motivates us all. You look very happy!!!!!

So proud of you!! You've made a total transformation and look terrific!!! Thanks for sharing your photos - its so inspirational to others!!!

WOW what a fabulous transformation!! Can't wait to see the pics after those next 80 lbs.!!!! Keep pushing until you achieve your goals - YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!

Love, love, love it. I actually lost mine for a day a few months back and was devastated. I don't bother syncing with MFP tho. I'd rather log my exercise separately. I keep a little calendar booklet and log my steps in each night before bed. Great motivation for the next day. Last week my lowest day was 8,208 and my…
