Add me I have lost 60, regained 30 and now have 130 to lose. I am usually here every day, mostly evenings on the east coast. Open to any and all FR

You are not alone. Many of us have similar stories. The key is to never give up trying.

I don't mind them and yes they do wonders under slacks and dresses. But honestly, I prefer spanx tights. They have lots of colors that are not available in pantyhose. And two that are reversible shades.

I'm just speechless. What an awesome job you have done so far. Congrats to you

Many great options here. Personally I do not eat plain popcorn but never thought to put cinnamon on it. I use butter buds usually. I have issues with ice cream so I try not to buy it but do have the occasional treat. In its place I like the skinny cow line. There is a no sugar added sandwich if sugar is an issue. Most are…

My suggestion would be to eat at the TDEE - 20% and like others say have this be your weekly average. I would not give up the cheat days or spread out the extra calories across the week. What is your water intake like? It is a key component to losing weight. Aim for a minimum of 8 glasses a day or better half your body…

I would ask what you ate in the days before yesterday. If today is only the second day you could not have eaten enough yesterday to gain 3 pounds. I think that would be 10,500 calories OVER your daily needs. And quitting on day 2 doesn't sound like you were very committed in the first place

I like the Jenny-O Italian ground turkey. Has the Italian seasonings in it. I then use for chili, goulash, etc where I would use beef.

Here's one to get started PALEO SLOW COOKER BALSAMIC CHICKEN RECIPE Ingredients 8 boneless, skinless organic chicken thighs 4 Garlic cloves, minced 1 Tbsp fresh basil 1 bunch fresh rosemary 1 tsp onion powder 1/2 onion, diced 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar 1/4 cup coconut oil Salt and pepper to taste Instructions Combine basil,…

Does coconut oil actually come in liquid form? I was looking for some the other day and all I found was solid.

Oh my, to be able to do that pose in Eric's post. :laugh:

I saw him on a tv special like 60 minutes just before the premiere of this seasons Biggest Loser. He stated just because his name and photo is saying he endorses it that is not really so. He stated he does not endorse the diet pills etc that he has on his show or on the web. I guess Its up to us to decide if he is being…

What I like about following the TDEE -20% 'method' is that I do not worry about eating my exercise calories back. I do not know if I actually eat more but as I almost always work out at night and I am not good about eating a lot during the day so its just easier. My BMR is 2012 and my daily goal is 2000. My TDEE is between…

Just curious, what if you were friends with me and I have inactivated that on my profile? Along with the 'so and so has logged in 525 days' and all/most of the other updates???

Hi Ashley, Feel free to add me. With only a couple exceptions, I am on nearly every day. Would be happy to support and encourage you. Marsha

I have been here since last summer but still have 120 more pounds to lose. Anyone can add me. Would love to encourage and support you along the way.

Wel, I am shooting for more than 20 but then I have a lot more to lose than you do. But feel free to add. I have a big meeting in April and need a new fancy dress in a size 18 (fingers crossed)

Welcome. I've been here 6 months and have found it to be the best tool to help me lead a healthier lifestyle. I am on nearly every day so feel free to add me. Open invite to anyone needing support and encouragement.

Feel free to add me. I would love to support and encourage you - and anyone else who needs it

Welcome to you. Feel free to add if you need another supporter

I use various flavors of Jay Robb and agree the tropical one is yummy. There are larger packages of some flavors in Whole Foods for about $25.

You can add me. I'm 46 down on a goal of 175. Usually here every day. Would love to encourage and support you

I was going to suggest running up and down the stairs at your apt complex. even if its only one flight and its done over and over. Or are there hallways in the building you can sprint- run down and walk back. Maybe add in some - oh what do you call them - you know where you touch the ground at each end? Can you walk part…

Can you- absolutely. Just know it will take time. Make sure to eat enough. Not everyone does well on 1200 calories. Do your homework on helthy eating and exercise. There are many ways to go about it - and lots of good advice (along with lots of opinions) on here. Do some searches on MFP as there is tons. You will have some…

note to self- print from work tomorrow. thanks

I agree with Doug in that you should read the 'in place of a road map'. Maybe more than once. It helped me a lot when I had been here about a month. 215 is certainly not something you cannot overcome. I started more than 100 pounds over that and still am currently but for someone who has always been overweight I am doing…

Anyone can add me, Been here about 5 months. Had a bad Dec but am back on track in 2013. Have a long way to go so I don't expect to be going anywhere

must come back to this later this month. I love the calcique brand from lane bryant for my regular bras but will need some sports bras in a few weeks. thanks for all the input and original question

Personally I have been using reusable for a few years. I get upset when I get into the store and realize I forgot them in the car. And for a while when I first moved I used them so much I did not have any plastic bags left for my cats litterbox. Its not a hassle to wash the reusable bags and I generally have one or two I…

Jilian has a beginners dvd that has two workouts - one for front of the body muscles and one for the back and each has 6 circuits. There are about 3 moves per circuit done three times. One is cardio and the other two are done with weights or bands. I got mine in BJs for about $8.
