Okay!!!! Yeah, I try to stay away from the complex carbs and white starches. Too many fluctuations, and I find that I can eat a lot more food lol

How would I know the difference? I am asking because I went about 23g over my daily carb limit today, and a lot of it had to do with me eating chicken and bean chili!!!! I know the chili has a high carb count, but the beans have a lot of fiber in it. I don't want to freak out seeing all that red lol But I had to have that…

Hello where are the single working mothers? I was working at home and working out after my son went to bed, but this is my first week on a new job, and it is outside of the home and I find myself absolutely exhausted!!! I haven't worked out since Saturday but my eating has been pretty good all week for the most part. I'm…

I need to get some chicken sausage lol

Yeah I realized you said that after I pressed send lol I just thought I would ask first. I can I can do some research. And please do not be offended by anything I say. I am really trying to learn.

OMG! That's alot of food lol

Okay add me to the group!!! I think this is a more feasible goal for me....but can I start next week?

What am I eating that's considered processed? Because I thought I was doing really well with that! And if I had to eat 1g of protein per bodyweight I would be eating more than 200 grams lol The problem is, the foods that I know of offhand to be high in protein are either also high in fat, or they are also high in carbs.

And yes, I made my own Greek yogurt last night!!!!! I know that is chocked full of protein, but carbs and sugar as well.

Okay my diary is open!!!!! Now, HELP!!!!!!

Hi there!!!! Yes, I too suffer from depression and am undergoing a lot of stress right now!!! I haven't had meds in a few months due to no insurance....and I really don't plan on going on anymore if I don't have to. What really helps is trying to keep the faith....I had to force myself to do things when I was on the meds…

Hi!!!! Anyone can feel free to add me as well!!!! I can totally relate to your story!!!! I have been losing and gaining the same 15lbs for the last two years!!! lol And I need to lose about 70-80 lbs lol I have ALWAYS been an emotional eater for as long as I can remember!!!! I would do well for a little while, something…

Week 1 Goal: 3500 Day 1: 550 calories (HIIT and Abs) Day 2: 231 (HIIT and Kickboxing Blend Total: 881 Calories left: 2619

THIS!!!! I am speaking from experience. it doesn't get any better. it only gets worse, with the potential that there may be some physical abuse in the future. it starts with the mental abuse at first....the breaking down of your self esteem...the "i think you would look better if you did this"....maybe you should change…

hi! you or anyone can add me!!! single mom to a 4 year old!!!!

I took it before. A small dose. It didn't help me to lose weight either. I was disappointed lol but I shouldn't have because I wasn't eating right either lol

Weekly goal: 3500 Day 1: 560 (22 minute walk to the store; 63 minute HIIT and Abs) Total: 560 Left to go: 2940 What in the WORLD did I get myself into lol

Good idea!!!!!

Just got done with Hip Hop Abs and yes Shaun T was a character!!!! Dance, too much booty in the pants!!!! lol

Why don't you eat lunch? your appetite is probably low because you drink an awful lot of caffeine.

Never tried to cook them from scratch!!!! The canned ones are good additions to some recipes. I may try some of you guy's suggestions as well because they sounded so good!!!! Good thing my son likes beans too!!!! :)

Wow!!!! Perserverance certainly pays off!!!! Your story reads like mine in so many ways!!! I started becoming obsessed about my weight at an early age as well!!!! And I have decided to take the slow and steady pace as well, because it is a lifestyle change!!! So I will take it however it comes!!!! Thanks for sharing your…

Hello!!!! My name is LaKesha, 34 years old, Cleveland OH. I am a single mother to a VERY energetic and busy 3 year old and I work full time. Tried to take on a 2nd job, but don't think that is working out too well due to my current circumstances. Today is my 60th day in a row (well it's after midnight so day 61) logging…

Okay count me in!!!!

What everyone else said lol I have a Polar FT4 (?) with a watch and chest strap...come to find out, I was burning LESS than what MFP said I was doing a certain exercise. Well, I couldn't find what I was doing on MFP so I tried to look for the closest thing....so I am glad I invested in it. It costs me about $65 on…

It's not that bad to me lol I think I have had Dannon Light and Fit (or was it Yoplait)? And it wasn't bad....it was thick, and more fulfilling than the regular non fat yogurt. Then I tried some of the brands sold in Whole Foods and actually found those weren't too bad either!!!! I do need the protein, but the flavored…

It's always a gamble!!!! I bought a dress from avenue.com a few months ago. They usually run big from my experience buying things in the store. So I thought that I needed to get it a size smaller (16W)....when I took my measurements and compared it to the sizing chart....it deemed me to be an 18W. Well I ordered the…

Never heard about having to drink from a straw!!! I love my teeth!!!! Maybe I should consider this new info

Hi!!!! I don't juice, but I have been Nutri-Blasting for almost 2 months now and I love it!!!!! I drink one for breakfast!!!! I used 50% (about 2 cups) of leefy greens such as Spring Mix, Kale, Collard Greens, and spinach.....50% fruits....add water....top it off with about 1/4 cup of raw nuts/seeds for the protein and…

And it simply does not work for everyone!!!! Over the years, I have gone to dieticians, and they would put me on the "standard" food pyrmaid diet (high carb, low fat) and I would be MISERABLE!!!! Sluggish, hungry all the time...and then it absolutely didn't work for me!!!! Sure, I would lose weight after the first month,…
