Way to GO! You are looking so great. Keep it up you are such a success. :flowerforyou:

Congrats on your AWESOME SUCCESS!!!

Some times I do and sometimes not it all depends on how much I have burned. You calorie count on MFP already includes your deficit of calories you need for the weigh per week you want to lose. If you are eating 1300 cal a day to lose 2 lbs a week and work out and burn 400 cal you put your total calories for the day at 900…

My kids love bell peppers and I found a really cool trick on you tube. When coming home from the grocery make the time to slice all your bell peppers and simply store in a container filled with water keeps them fresher longer. Plus they are ready for the kids to grab and go that way it saves you some time from cutting…

Yeah!!! You deserve it!!!

I am totally addicted to Granola Thins. They are only like 80 cal and 11 carbs great snack especially frozen. My favorite snack right now is what I call my strawberry cheesecake. I take 1 cup of strawberries sliced add a little splenda and a wedge of laughing cow light swiss and mix. it is awesome! I usually eat this with…

I too weigh daily actually its twice a day in the morning and before bed. I input it in an excell file and into an app on my phone but I don't stress over the small day to day fluctuation I look at the week like Monday to Monday and Tuesday to Tuesday and I get that great weekly weigh-in high everyday. This way if i do…

I try and focus on how I feel when I fall off the wagon. It honestly never makes me feel good for too long. Then I read the book that I have instilled as my lifestyle instead of my diet. The Good Mood Diet and she says that we all will fall into the lure of indulgence sometime the key is to "Forgive yourself for the…

Thanks it is but I have a long way to go. Day by day and step by step......or oz by oz LOL

I find this happens to me planning weekly menus but not if I plan in the morning for the rest of the day. I will look forward to it.

What do you eat after your workout at night? You need to replenish your body with protein after your workout. On my plan it is encouraged to eat 2 oz of lean protein for a mid morning snack. You should not get to the point of feeling starving it will cause overeating. At least that is what it does for me. We have church on…

Every time i do it they always say 8 hrs. If you eat before 6am you should be okay. I would eat what I normally eat so that way if something is going to show up it would not be because of the something new I had eaten. Protein is always a good choice. Good Luck at your appt. and blood draw.

I cut out added sugar in my diet. Natural sugar is okay but be sure to limit juices stick to the actual fruit with the fiber too. Milk sugar is okay to it is a natural sugar like in skim milk and yogurts look for the first 12 to 13 grams of sugar is from milk sugar (natural) but beware the added sugar even the fruit juice…

I bought the book and looked it over but never did it 100%. I have a huge problem with sugar I call it my sugar rage. I thought I was mental and went to the dr they diagnosed me as bipolar and schizophrenia when all along it was the sugar. I have been on and off a diet called The Good Mood Diet by Susan Kliner. I have been…

I plan my day every morning when I log in my breakfast. It has been great so much better than weekly menus. By the time the end of the week would get here I would not want what I had planned. This way I get what I want and look forward to it all day. :-)

It sounds super yummy! Tilapia has been my weakness the last month. I will definitely have to try this. Thanks for sharing.

I have both of those and used them over the last year to lose 90 lbs. They are fun I especially like the hula hoop on the fit and the boxing. On the Active 2 I would program a 9 week challenge and do the workout after a 60 min walk. My only critisim is the music in the games but I just used my headphone with music. I…

Good luck! It is a great tracker I totally love having it on my phone especially when eating out. It makes it tons easier to stick to my plan.

It is a great book lots of great information. I was walking until having a disc in my back slip and spending a week laying flat. I have not done anything this summer because of the extreme Texas heat and bugs. I am looking forward to the cooler temps and getting outside. I take 50,000UL of vitamin D a week and 5000 a day…
