Nice work!!

You are the same as me! I am in 18's and have lost 75#. Although I see it in the mirror, pictures are more dramatic side by side for sure! Congrats on your loss! OP as well! Well done ladies!

I see the option to remove cardio but not exercise in general. I never noticed all those settings. Thanks!

Never Mind. I am changing my option now if there is one for the exercise to post.

Another MFP member said this to me and it really hit home This is a journey not a race. Perfect.

Correct. That what I was trying to say:) I eat what it tells me since I already accounted for myself being active. The only reason I add my exercise is to track my workouts. I ignore any calories that adds to my daily allowance. Plus my fitbit adds even more so I ignore that too. Its JUST for my own activity tracking…

The only way mfp gives me 1200 is if I set my activity level to sedentary. Thats just ridiculous, I use active since I do work out and chase my kids around and work full time and dont even bother with my exercise calories. Ive been losing well. Even before MFP at 5'6" and 145 i could eat about 1600 and still maintain, with…

I think the biggest factor for those who gain it all back is that people lose the weight on 1200 and then just go back to eating whatever and paying no mind to calories.. In MY opinion if I want the weight to stay off I will be counting calories the rest of my life (adjusting as I see things going one way or the other) and…

Ill always be a sucker for ants on a log, called other thing too I know (celery sticks with pb and raisins)

from someone who cooks for my family I refuse to cook my food seperate. I weigh out the dry pasta and write down exactly how many servings I am cooking. when it is done cooking I drain my pasta very very well. (let it sit for about 5 minutes in strainer above pot) and then weigh the cooked pasta divide that total weight by…

Way to go!!

$80-$110 a week for a family of 4. We get takeout maybe 1x A week for dinner for around $15-$30 depending on what it is. We take leftovers from dinner for lunch or make sandwiches And yogurt.

Im so jealous of all of u! You guys get some great sleep!

I agree! I lose from the top down and at 215 i just pulled out all of my 18's but my top half is more like a 12. I wont see a 16 until I get down to about 175. Im 5'6"

I havent had soda since September. Love it with pizza so thats the hardest but overall I really didnt miss it after a while.

HahahahA!!! Not even close to enough. I sleep 2-3 hours of BROKEN sleep m-f and then devent sleep the other two days. Im a night shift mom who only sleeps when my 2 year old naps and about a half hour before I have to wake my 6yo to take her to school.

I would choose the best thing they have thats satisfying and within or close to your goal and enjoy every bite of it. Going over a little isnt the end of days.

Nice work! Im about 15# feom onederland, havent seen that since 2007!

Too many reeses Pb eggs to count, york peppermint patty eggs (never saw these before and I am excited!!!) 4 bags of malted robin eggs, 6 bags of starburst jelly beans and 3 bags of all black jelly beans. I only spent $14 with the clearance and coupons!! Woohoo. This will last me till halloween but my husband keeps stealing…

I could eat it every day, LOVE it!

would love to hear some pointers, sadly even as a gymnast I was never able to do a full pull up! I would love to accomplish it one day!

I made this today, but with ground turkey (browned and drained before adding to crock pot, 10 mins while adding the canned stuff) it was delicious! I used two cans of black beans otherwise the kids wont eat kidney beans.

I treat each meal as a new start, so if I overeat like that at breakfast I would just eat my lunch dinner snacks as I planned before I had the big breakfast. I refuse to starve myself (meaning be miserable and having to not feel satisfied, not literally starving) over something as trivial as one bad meal. This is something…

you look great! You are at my goal weight but Im 5'6" but If I look anything close to you I will be elated! Congrats! Happy shopping!

Xanthan gum really helps. U dont need much. I use a bit less than 1/4 tsp for my sknny java chip recipe. 1/2 c almond milk (30 cal) 1/2 c double strength chilled coffee 1 serving chocolate syrup (100 cal) 1 serving chocolate chips (70 cal) 1/4 tsp xanthan gum Ice I add the chocolate chips last. Too much xanthan gum makes…

I prefer mine "boring" salt pepper and butter. Always.
