I agree...that makes all the difference. if you are under and are completely full and satisfied than i think it's fine, but if you are depriving yourself and go to bed hungry every night, then you can only keep that up for so long...

I have really been craving pizza! The sodium is pretty high, but it might be worth it!!! ;) Thanks for sharing.

you will love it here at MFP! Good luck on your journey!

If you complete your day with less than 1200 calories it will tell you that it is unhealthy and can put your body into starvation mode. I go under my calorie goal, but I have 1510 calories per day and when I exercise it's even more, and I usually don't eat those extra calories unless I am hungry. Sometimes I'm 10 under and…

I thought the same thing...I couldn't believe this site was FREE! It really does make you so much more aware of how much you are really eating and how bad certain foods are for you. Good luck on your weight loss journey!

Thank you! I am dealing with the same issue this week. At my last weigh-in I was 228.5 and before I started I got down to 225.5 mid week and the day I started I weighed myself and 229! It was so depressing to see that not only had I gained instead of going down, but I was now above my last check-in weight! I was so close…

That is so amazing. You look great and you are such an inspiration!!

Since you are nursing, you will be burning about 500 extra calories per day than someone your height/weight who is not nursing. So if you just ate your recommended calorie amount for maintaining while breastfeeding you would automatically lose a pound a week. Then you add exercising and the fact that this takes away…

I personally went 3 months without losing anything and was going to the gym, that's what brought me to MFP. Not sure what is "officially" a plateau.

Also, something I learned in my biology class is that the carbonation in pop can dehydrate you a little. So even though you are drinking diet, which is way better than regular pop, you are still canceling out the water a little bit with each pop. I know it can be hard for pop drinkers to cut it out entirely, but it may…

I love Brownberry Double Fiber Wheat bread. 80 calories per slice and the fiber makes it more filling plus all the other benefits of fiber. 5g of fiber per slice. 17g of whole grain. Very soft and delicious. I can't eat white bread...it tastes like cotton or something. Too flimsy and bland. :) Hope you find a new yummy…

I have taken the live Zumba clasess and they are a major workout. It is so fun, though, so it doesn't feel as cumbersome as other workouts. I'm sure Hip Hop abs would be just as fun though. Just different music and different genres of dancing. Good luck!

Here's an idea that might help you when you have to exercise inside. I found a nice used treadmill on craigslist for 250 and when i can't get to the gym I will walk on my treadmill. I know treadmills can get very boring, but what I do is walk while I am watching my shows. Especially Biggest Loser. I get so motivated while…

Wow, you look great! Keep it up, I'm sure you will reach your goal soon.

Good for you! I am the same way. I have lost weight before, but gained it all back and much more. I now weigh the same as I did at the end of my second pregnancy! I hate that. I love EA Sports Active! I was really surprised at how much of a workout it is. I'm more sore after doing that then when I go to the gym! I think…

Thanks so much! I feel like this might actually be the thing that finally works for me and gets me "over the hump".
