I just did my first workout on Daily Burn and loved it! I'm anxious to see what doing it daily is going to do for my results!

I do something very similar as a pizza crust and it's absolutely delicious! My husband has actually grown to love my cauliflower crust pizza better than regular pizza!! Can't wait to try this recipe! Thanks for posting.

I like the Syntrax Nectar shakes. I mix them with the 30 calorie/cup Almond milk and they're not too thick at all. Cappuccino mixed with 1/2 coffee and 1/2 milk tastes just like an iced latte from Starbucks. I also love the Strawberry Mousse, Chocolate Truffle, Vanilla Bean Torte and Caribbean Cooler. I order these online…

My starting weight WAS 286! Yes, I'm down 101 lbs but still have about 50 to go. This challenge is coming at a perfect time and will help me kick my butt in gear at the gym. Got some serious toning to do too! Current Weight - 185 Goal by Summer 165

Don't beat yourself up! It sounds like you know what you need to do and you'll do it! Welcome back!!!

Diet and exercise are key! I refused to allow myself to be stuck on medication if I could control it on my own which I managed to do. I basically cut out all processed foods and worked to keep my carb intake below 100 everyday. The carbs I get come primarily from vegetables and sometimes whole grains. Exercise also does…

I am 3 weeks out and have been told by my Nutritionist not to watch ANYTHING and just to follow what they told me to eat which is 1/4 cup of protein 3 times a day. In fact when I asked her how many grams of protein I should be shooting for, she told me not to worry about it because she didn't want me setting myself up for…

I have been asked that question alot and I've asked myself that question alot! My answer to anyone is that I've lost weight before although I've never been able to lose it all and then I gain it back again. With gastric bypass, my new "tool" will help me keep things in check. I liken it to giving an alcoholic a pill that…

I have gone back and forth on my decision to have WLS for close to 7 years and have just FINALLY made the decision to have Gastric Bypass. In fact, I'm scheduled for surgery on January 7th! It's been a really long journey for me but I had to be sure it was the right decision before I completely altered my digestive system!…

HI Everyone, Well after almost 7 years of indecisiveness, I am finally going to have Gastric Bypass! I am going through Kaiser in Northern CA and had to lose a certain amount of weight before they'd schedule. Went for a weight check and I"m only 1 lb from that goal so the Case Manager scheduled some of my required pre-op…

Thanks for your response. That is actually what I've heard as well which is why I continue to lean toward the RNY. 5.3 - that is amazing!!! I've been logging on MFP for awhile and plan to continue even after surgery. I'm really glad I found this group!

Hi Everyone, My name is Angela and I'm hoping to have RNY next month. My insurance (Kaiser) requires that you lose 10% of your weight before they'll schedule the surgery and I'm only 7.5 lbs from that. I have been in the program since and have only now decided I'm ready to make the changes necessary to be successful after…

I get up at 3:30 every morning to get to the gym. Now I am a morning person so it's a bit easier but what I remind myself every day when that alarm goes off is how good it feels to start my day knowing that my workout is DONE!!!!

Not crazy at all! I do the same thing and I find it's a huge help. I keep my cup filled and with me at all times,,, at my desk, in the car, at the gym. I sometimes add in some Crystal Light too to make it not quite so boring. .

Amazing!!! What an inspiration you are! Thanks for telling your story.

What about Steel Cut Oats with some blueberries and chopped nuts? I do this sometimes when I get tired of the egg white sandwiches I normally have. If you are thinking about tuna, one of my favorites is a tuna salad recipe I got from Biggest Loser. Put it on a bagel thin or sandwich thin with a slice of reduced fat cheese…

I also have type 2 diabetes and would love to share support with others! I was diagnosed about a year and a half ago after flirting with it for years. Dr. immediately put me on glipized which I was able to get off within about 2 months because I got my blood sugar under control by diet and exercise...l also lost 57 lbs!…

I know you mentioned you're tired of egg whites but have you tried making an egg mcmuffin with them. I saute some onions or spinach into them. Put on a light/high fiber english muffin with a slice of lowfat cheese, ham and a slice of tomato...YUM!

I'd love to join in. Fairly new to MFP and recently back on track....AGAIN!!! Need to keep it on track this time, Angela

I would love to connect with others too! I have recently gotten myself back on track after being off the wagon for quite some time...WAY off!!! I'm 43 and was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in February 2011 (I had been flirting with it for years). Anyway, I got on a serious exercise plan, changed my eating habits and lost…

Hi Everyone, My name is Angela and I'm from Vacaville, CA! I just switched over to My Fitness Pal from LoseIt and so far, I'm really enjoying it! Looking to lose a little over 100 lbs through diet and exercise...lost 57 last year but then fell of the wagon...BIG TIME! Hope to give and get support to others in the same…
