I found that when I was running as opposed to doing things like workout videos at home and doing free weights actually helped my back/hip issues. It seemed like it was easier on my body than a lot of other activities I had been doing. I have never had knee issues or foot issues other than a little pain in my arch from…

I agree about turkey bacon but I like lean turkey sausage. I actually prefer the leaner meat. I can't stand the texture and chewiness of fat, even ground up. And regular meat has so many calories for a small serving. I like having more volume for less calories. I think people should make turkey more often and not just…

Yes, and it is very simple. Two eggs, 1/4 cup bread crumbs, 20 ounces lean or extra lean turkey burger, and seasonings to taste. That makes such a good basic burger.

ground turkey, I really like it. Some foods taste better with ground beef though like sloppy jos. Those are terrible with ground turkey.

I am so close. Yesterday I weighed in at 301.

I would say like another poster to try not to gain more than 30lbs. It really depends on the person how much of the weight gain is fat and how much is baby, placenta, uterus, breast tissue, amniotic fluid, and everything. Some people lose just the baby weight after having a baby and other people ( like me) lose like 50 lbs…

I would like to know this too. I have similar problems and when I lost weight ( 60 lbs) and started exercising ( walking over an hour several times a week and doing weight machines) last time it did not change.

I agree. I don't eat near healthy enough but what you eat does effect your health. Even Hippocrates said so thousands of years ago. People say that there is no need to eat healthy or detoxify, but if that is the case then how are diseases cured when people change what they eat or juice fast or increase activity? In Fat…

That's good to hear. I would like to lose boob size. People think having big boobs is so great, but it really is not. I would much rather have B or C sized boobs. They would be much more useful at that size and much perkier.

Good job! I think the biggest change is in your stomach. It looks much flatter.

I had a different experience. When I was 200 lbs at 5'6'' I had no problems doing basic things. I could walk 4-5 miles. I had no problems with stairs. I did not have to shop in the big girl section. At around 180 I could exercise at a normal intermediate level even advanced sometimes and I had no problems with everyday…

I have gone and found them helpful. The biggest thing I learned is the need for support and the need to not put myself in temptation with food that is too much for me. I have to avoid trigger foods, not necessarily by not having them at all, but not having total free access to them. I do that by getting just enough that…

I take Zoloft (100 mgs) and really like it. It helps me with binging and anxiety. I have not wanted to binge in over 2 months. It has not effected my weight loss at all and I think it reigns in my appetite a little.

True, it is a major problem, but talk to the parents and involve them, make it clear to them it is an issue, then if no changes are made call the CPS.

I agree. You got to talk to the parents about the problem and give them a chance to change before calling CPS. Someone called CPS on me and my husband when my son was young when we went to apply for food stamps. Whoever reported us never even talked to us about what the problem was. I was so shocked. I used to get really…

I agree. I am though.

I think you can still have fast food sometimes. You should set up a budget in cash of the amount you plan to spend on it in a month and only use that to purchase fast food. Of course you can totally cut it out too, but that may be too hard.

And me in a bathing suit at this point is not a pretty sight!. Scary!

I feel similar. I love to swim. I was like a fish growing up. I love the water. I have kind of forgotten how to do it though and I don't know that I could do laps. I would like to go to swimming lessons or get a one on one appointment for swimming lessons but I am scared that I will be embarrassed and humiliated being so…

That is definitely good advice. Eating 2000 calories when your TDEE is 4000 is going to make anyone super hungry, cranky, and miserable. I get super hungry when I go anywhere below 1000 calories under my TDEE.

You just got to keep it up. You will feel a difference at some point. You are still big. Have you felt no difference in your ability to get around? I feel a difference and I have only lost 26 lbs so far and I am still 300 lbs. I can move so much easier and my mood is better. I can actually stand again and do things around…

Yes, I was on it and it really helped my mania/delusions for a while and I actually lost weight with diet and exercise. While I was losing I was very hungry and always wanted to eat and had to resist so hard, plus I could never feel when I was full. I could eat and eat and not feel it. It seemed like I could not resist…

I am sorry you lost your baby. It is really hard.

I have to weigh myself or I get unmotivated. Seeing results every few days keeps me going.

That does sound like a good breakfast. I love sausage and brussel sprouts.

I think there is a law ( if you are in the US) where they have to release the nutrition facts if you ask.

These are some really good suggestions. I liked the idea of pureeing the vegetables and putting them in other foods like another poster said too.

I can't stand the taste of wine either, or any straight alcohol drink, but I do like veggies. Cooked or juiced broccoli is one of my favorites. I don't like it plain much.

My husband worked for Papa John's Pizza for a while and was very impressed by the cleanliness of the store and the care they took in making the food right. He said that the freezer was very clean and that the manager was a bit of a Nazi about making sure things were perfect. If workers weren't working they were expected to…

You can change your food goal percentages I think if you go up to the home tab and then goals and then select custom goals and adjust it to what you would like to follow ( less than 100gms carbs and probably more fat and protein.)
