Try Mio, lemon or lime juice or caffeine free tea

I alternate depending on what I'm craving or how hungry I am. Sometimes I'll get a bowl with white rice, black beans (sometimes without), chicken, fajita veggies and the tomatillo salsa (sometimes I add cheese, sometimes NOT) Or I will get a bowl with white rice, black beans, fajita veggies and tomatillo salsa

I like to do either a fajita veggie mix or a stir fry veggie mix. * For my fajita veggie mix I throw in some sliced bell peppers and onions into a pan and cook with a little olive oil and garlic. * For my stir fry veggie mix I'll throw in some snow peas, onion, sliced carrots, sliced bell peppers, sometimes some zucchini…

Wow! This is really awesome! Congratulations!

I have a 5 month old yellow labrador who loves to give high fives and shake your hand.

Thank you! I have a Central Market near me, so I will check there

Endomondo is great! It tells you (in general) how many burgers you've burned and how many miles you've traveled. It also has some other cool features as well!

Thanks for the recommendation! I love greek yogurt as well, I eat it almost daily. Chobani is my favorite!

Thanks for the Smoothie King Recommendation. I've got a Smoothie King right next to my campus and some coupons. I've heard about PB2 and would like to try it because PB is one of my weaknesses and I don't want to keep a jar sitting around to call out to me.

Thanks so much for the input! Any suggestions on what brand I should get? I want to lose weight and want something under $30. Are there any brands that you can think of right off the bat that is good for weightless and fairly priced for a college student on a slight budget.

I'm trying to break my addiction to diet sodas and switch to tea. Less sugar and not as many harmful effects in the long run. I've been a regular diet soda drinker and I've never had it block my success in weight loss. It's really a personal preference, but stay away from regular sodas if you choose to stay away from any…

I would like to use them for meal replacement. In the morning or for lunch or after a workout. I would like to lose weight and tone. I'm not really interested in lifting just yet.

I love jalapeno poppers! It's one of my favorite football foods. So, I've substituted regular bacon for turkey bacon. You can also substitute regular cream cheese for reduced fat cream cheese, however, I really prefer the taste of regular cream cheese to reduced fat cream cheese. I guess it's all about your preferences…

I used to hate working out and once I started working out frequently, my whole attitude towards it changed. I love how I feel after working out and sweating my *kitten* off! It's very rewarding and refreshing!

Some of favorites have been: Aerosmith Bruno Mars Blake Shelton

You can friend me if you'd like! I'm 21 and weigh in the mid 170s, however, I'm 4'11" and small framed so I have a lot to lose taking into consideration my height and frame. I would like to be down to 130 by the time I graduate from college in December.

There are a number of reasons you may not be seeing results. While everyone else is offerring suggestions, I'd suggest to take a look at your sodium intake and make sure you're not going over in sodium. I try and stay under the sodium allotment that MFP gives you. I really aim to eat about half of what MFP gives you. Also,…

I'm in!

I didn't ever say I was on a college student's budget. I have a job that I can afford a program like this.

Losing 30 lbs is different on everyone, so pictures of other people really won't give you any kind of idea of what you will look like 30 lbs lighter, but you will for sure be able to tell! Take before pictures and take your measurements!

It's usually different every day, but I mostly do it just after I've eaten it...however, I know some people plan ahead.

Good 'ole Texas State Fair! Thankfully I've never been interested in ANY of the fried food they have to offer there. I had a Corn Dog last year and my stomach was not happy with me, after that and I figured anything else would be 10x worse.

Stick to it! You'll see the results. 3 days really isn't much time. Track every day, drink the recommended amount of glasses of water and get in exercise at least 3 days a week...whether it's taking the baby on a walk or putting in a workout video. You can do it! :)

I live in Texas so I don't really worry about this. But I would suggest looking at North Face or REI

Welcome to MFP! I too have done WW. I loved it but I just couldn't afford it at this time. I just turned 21 so I've been doing a lot of drinking, but I've still managed to lose a little bit of weight since I turned 21 and eat healthy and stay active in the gym. Clear drinks are definitely a must or wine or light beer. I…

I'm a senior in college. I've been doing MFP for about 2.5 months. Previously I did WW off and on. Anyone is welcome to add me for advice and support!

For the last 2 years I've been stuck in that awkward phase of being able to wear Large T-Shirts but for regular day to day clothing I've been stuck in the in between phase of being able to wear some XL shirts and some 1x shirts. I think since I've lost about 10 lbs I can fit into most XL shirts, but when it comes to…

Thanks for the suggestion. I had my measurements taken for a dress with clothes on the other day and about freaked out. I had been taking my measurements with clothes off but I think I will start measuring with my bra on so I can get a good lift on my chest. I'm fairly large chested so I'm sure it's more accurate to wear a…
