I would have to agree that these forums can be a real shark tank!!!! Gotta take it with a grain of salt. Everyone has their own opinions, and the key word is respect. With that being said, I have tried Slim Fast and Atkins shakes before, especially since I don't do breakfast much, but what I found that for ME, I would…

I am hoping this works as well!!!! Funny, I did have a pop tart last week because it fit into my macros lol But seriously, for the most part, I do try to get whole, all natural foods in with the occassional treat!!!! I find that the all natural snacks I get from the health food store (Whole foods), are generally lower in…

Sure has!!!! After a month into working out and eating better, I always stall or fluctuate 5-7lbs. It gets so discouraging that I always end up giving up! Well, giving up wasn't an option and I got more and more discouraged.....so I decided to take the advice of a whoooooollllllleeeeee lot of people!!! I ditched the…

Oh I am definitely not going to use something I have to pay for lol I started using a site called fitday initially to track my calories but couldn't always find the nutrition info for a lot of foods. Plus I don't think it had a phone app. So I stopped using it. WW online-I stopped using that lol There was another phone app…

Both. For me, eating clean helps me feel fuller longer. I had to lower my carbs and up my protein and fats to feel this way...but eating mostly clean and at a deficit is helping me lose

*I put on a cami Friday and it didn't ride up my back as much *I lost a few more inches off my body *I burned more calories doing the same workouts than I did the week before

I thank a lot of you for the input and suggestions!!!! I do try to incorporate a lot of those things...and yes I do count my blessings-it's just really hard sometimes and yesterday was such a hard day for me!!!! I decided to take it easy today....tomorrow is a new day....but I am certainly not giving up!!!! :) Thanks for…

My friend's cousin had gotten the lap band surgery, lost a good amount of weight....had a baby, and gained it all back....last year, she underwent gastric bypass....had a whole heap of complications behind it....only to really lose the same amount she did I feel had she just exercised and ate better anyway. She still…

Okay my son eats EVERYTHING!!!!! My son loves chocolate, ice cream, cheeseburgers, and pizza. But he will also eat chicken, veggies, and there have been times when he has chosen a piece of fruit over junk or french fries!!!! I try not to deny him "junk" or have a fit when he eats it or when someone else gives it to him…

I see it and I'm like wow....they are really hurting themselves because they are not eating their calories back...and there are these huge amounts of calories left to be eaten....something is wrong with that picture. I just figure they have some sort of issue...I mean, some not so much. I have a hiker on my FL so I believe…

Okay I will definitely look into that!!! Thanks guys!!!! And yes, I am learning now that fat is my friend lol

I do eat chicken.....thinking maybe I should add pork now lol wow never thought I would say that!!!!

Okay should i get protein powders from GNC?

don't protein powders have a lot of sugar?

^^^^It might just stall this month. That is what happened to me

You can add me as well!!! :)

Every child is different. I get the "your son is so tiny" spiel all the time!!!! He is almost four and he is about 32lbs. He wears a fricking 3T/4T so obviously he is of normal sized. But his nephew is 2 and weighs over 40 lbs. He is not obese at all!!!! But I do agree that alot of people think bigger is better when it…

Yeah I was going to get Insanity, but I am not sure....I may try T25....but I reallllly want to challenge myself. I have 4 more workouts before I complete Hip Hop Abs and I saw modest results, but I see I have to take it up a notch,.

I feel this too!!!! When I eat fruit, milk, and yogurt....wham!!!! There goes all the sugar I was allowed for the day!!!! So if I do eat carrots, or rice with dinner, there are some more sugars. Sometimes this stuff gets discouraging. Everything isn't for everybody!!!! Some people on here can lose weight eating a high…

I haven't been seeing any results after a month of my plan....and a lot of fluctuating with the scale (4-6lbs each day) so yesterday, I got rid of the battery, upped my protein and fat intake, and lowered my carbs in hopes that this will kick start some weight loss. I have lost about an inch each off of my waist, hips, and…

I don't know about what's on the list, but I will agree in my opinion that women are more shallow than men!!!! Especially when it comes to our looks. We care more than they do about how we look, what size we are, etc. than men do. Trust!!!! A woman will have a fit if they see a man arm in arm with a woman who might not be…

makes sense. always wondered why after a month of losing, i would stall or gain....i am going through this right now. i already upped the protein and lowered my carbs....and increased my fats. hoping this will help!!!! It's discouraging though that I may be a part of this. I just wish I could just lose weight as easily as…

i'm here with you!!!!! i ended up taking the battery out of my scale and throwing it this morning!!!! i am also going to try decreasing my carbs. My weight has been going back and forth 5lbs since the 4th!!! hoping that works

I'm scared to eat that way because I have high cholesterol, but the traditional low fat diet is just not getting the results I want!!!! I think I am going to try and see a dietician.

I have high cholesterol so I don't think eating 65% of my calories from fat is not a good thing for me. I think I was eating too many carbs (MFP sets it at 55%) so I lowered it to 40%c 30%f 30%p and see if the up in protein will help my weight loss as I have been stalling on the scale for a few weeks.

I looked at TDEE and I just wasn't comfortable eating 2300 calories...maybe I should have set it to sedentary...but I work out 6x a week!!!! It just seemed to high for me!!!! Maybe I will try it again at sedentary....my workouts are not that intense....I don't burn any more than 300 calories a workout

I find the greek yogurts to have a lot of sugar in them as well....even the organic ones!!!!

I just bought one!!!! It did come with a manual that had a list of foods and calories per ounce, etc. but it is important because I realized I was not accurately taking into account my calories. Like today for instance, I am going to have a piece of frozen chicken breast. The serving size on the label says 4 ounces, and…

Okay thanks for the ideas!!!!

yeah try not losing anything....or doing what you are doing.....tracking calories, using a scale, etc and still gaining weight smh I would be happy losing 1.2 lbs. That's healthy weight loss!!!!
