I dont do protein shake powder always found it yucky. 1 cup frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries) 1 banana 1 tbsp peanut butter 1/2 cup greek yogurt 1/4 cup skim milk, ice if needed, usually frozen berries act as ice, might need a cube or two Its soooo yummy! I add in a few baby…

I love pumpkin! thanks for this!

I am using a registered dietitian. She has never told me to eat back my exercise cals, but has stressed the importance of never going below actually consuming 1200 cals. She knows I use MFP and uses it herself and has never suggested that I eat all that. She uses the my plate standards. We only need so many serving of each…

Holy cow you look like Carson Daly!

My wake up call-even though he loves me and all I felt like I was starting to look real gross for my husband.....and I felt like crap!

Wooooah Nelly, slow down! I work out about 4 days a week, 1-2 hours a day (if 2 hours 1 hour is fast paced walking and a workout video) and I have lost 13 lbs in the last 4 weeks (I began aug 11) I even have a cheat meal once a week! I eat around 1600 cals a day, sometimes less but always more than 1200. Your body needs…

I see a difference, but like me (we started close to same so don't take this the wrong way) I think we have to get into one-derland to really see for ourselves. I went from 250 to 190 a few yrs ago, and once I got under 200 my tummy seemed to flatten out almost, and you could just see it everywhere. Its not like being 170…

I lost 5 lbs in my 1st week, then 2.5, then 1.5, then 4 this past week! Heck as long as it's something right??? I love the beginning though that great kickstart with good numbers. It makes you feel good and prepare for the NSV weeks ahead!

I can see why they are commenting! You look much younger too :-)

I never tried it so I guess I can't knock it as the good saying goes, but I always felt like the WW point system didn't take into as much consideration of total body health/nutrition. I mean I could go eat all my points in candy bars and as long as I don't go over I am good, but it's all crap in. I know you could do the…

We all have opinions and here is mine: if you're not frantic about needing to lose asap, then who cares. YES calories are calories, I document gum if I have more than a piece in a day sometimes lol, but when I cook if i know my day will end with me having a few hundred defecit then I taste, as long as it ends with a taste…

I have 4 kids, Veronica 10, Isaiah 6, Aaliyah 5, Djavan 2. My husband is "fixed" so def no more. I find time to exercise whenever. Sometimes I just take them with me, I live in front of a big school. I can take them there and make laps around the parking lot while they play in grass. They r good kids. I do other workouts…

I usually switch it up. One thing i love that feels like a dessert is this: 1/2 cup plain 0% chobani Greek yogurt 1 banana 1/2 cup great value frozen mixed berries 2 oz. Oj 1 tbsp. Pb Blend, healthy natural thick smoothies. Mega protein. Tastes like a dessert! About 350 cals give or take, makes a huge glass and fills me up…

I plan to do 30 day shred myself. My current plan is for the first month of my lifestyle change (diet is a poisonous incorrect word for myself) I am just walking at a pace that keeps my heart rate at about 130+, for an hour, and doing Comcast on demand workouts which are pretty hard depending upon what u pick 4/5 days a…

I am 26, don't have pcos but I do have 100 pounds to lose. I weighed about 250 and had gotten down to 190 about 2 years ago, was wearing a size 13 and some 11's! Then 2 people close to me died in 6 months of eachother, I was wrecked. Ate my way back up to 242 pounds. So grossed out with myself. I have lost about 8 pounds…

My husband can be a little unsupportive as well. Like two days ago when I said please do not buy that chocolate cake if It's in the house I will be tempted! Needless to say he buys, n I'm glad I hAve work or I'd Prolly b eating it right now. I get the feeling she may be insecure about u losing weight, even subconsciously.…

I'm confused lol are you only putting 500 cals in your mouth or just netting 500?

I hAve such a crazy schedule that I usually just stick to what my dietitian has told me to do, try to never go more than 4 hours without eating something. I always do breakfast, lunch and dinner, I try n eat 400 cals at breakfast and 500 for lunch, 400 for dinner. I fit In snacks when I can. I used to b particular about…

I hadn't even thought about it til now, Hmmmm I'd say from what I started at until then I'd like to beat the weight I can never get below, which is 190. Ever since I was 16 even as much as I've gained from having babies and lost I never went below that. I always end up there and fall back off the wagon. So in total that…

You do look different. It's hard to tell body shot wise, the way you were standing in your before pic. But it looks like there's a difference to me. I like your hair in 2nd pic! Your face looks slimmer.

No It's not weird. Mfp is a tool for you to use for your health and wellness. How you utilize the rest of the site is your business really. I see nothing wrong with it either way.

Right nowm I eat around 1600 cals a day, as recommended by my dietician. If I exercise that day I may go over a few hundred. But honestly sometimes I burn 800-1000 extra calories, and I can't eat more! I mean I guess I could order a large fry and sundae and call it a day but I am going for not only weight loss, but also…

It is fairly clear to me you are just bitter and have nothing better to do on here. I was sharing a FEELING I was experiencing thinking about needing to lose 100 pounds. I guess this isn't a community where you can do that, or you missed the memo? To everyone else, I am glad to know I am not the only one who feels its…

A princess how lovely! And actually it was in a week. Just so you know, I usually get part way thru get discouraged and quit. Probably my 8th time trying. Oh but your lovely words of encouragement will push me thru for sure-not! You should start your own negative Nancy club. P.s. when you're as big as me, a few pounds in…

I do have mini goals, It's just in the back of my sly little brain I still see that triple digit number! Darn!

I actually had watched a show that expressed the more sugar you eat, the worse/more you crave. I had a HUGE sweets problem. Chocolate, cake, candy, you name it I could eat 6 servings worth for breakfast! What did I do? I went cold turkey except sugar in my coffee n natural sugar. I had a headache first 3 days, but feel…

I think you may need to take a month or two off and start over. You have probably destroyed your metabolism! So let's say you eat 1200 cals one day, burn 800, your body has 400 cal to run off of when your bmr is probably around 2,000 cals +/- so that means you have about a 2-4 lb weight loss roughly just from cal deficit.…

Well I've got 100 to lose!

I personally like it. I use the plain in berry banana pb breakfast smoothies I make. Also eat the vanilla 0% with nothing else added. But if u don't like it don push it! Google things that r high in protein. Also, reg American yogurt is still ok! We must forget that. Just all this Greek yogurt hype reg yogurt has fallen to…
