If you have time, look at Jillian Michael's "Mastering Your Metabolism." I have been quite sure my sad journey of no weight loss was potentially hormonally related, but wasn't sure what to do about it. I have only tapped the surface of her information, but what I have read and applied has been a boon. For us gals I think…

People on this site have referred me to Tosca Reno's books. I just checked out two from the library and I really like them. Good basic help.... lots of good advice. (Exercising, too). Reading Jillian Michael's, "Mastering Your Metabolism." She doesn't call it "clean eating," but essentially it is and lots of other good…

Well, no wonder.....full time school and two jobs? That's a juggling act very few could handle. Plus add trying to eat well. Wow, that is a HUGE amount of reason for stress and struggles. Know first, that is totally normal for you to feel out control and overwhelmed with all you are trying to fit in. You are okay. It's…

I've taken it in capsule, as a supplement, but actually haven't thought of it to spice up my food. Maybe it's subliminal .... I recall my mother putting some on my tongue once for something I said or did. I'll have to try it. So, you obviously are too young in your pursuit of health and weight loss, never tried the Master…

Trishka..... Sounds great! I sent you a request!

Bump ... for later.

You look fabulous!! How wonderful you took charge of your life, health, and destiny! Thank you for sharing your photos here and your BlogSpot story. It's really nicely set up. You give me a boost to get this thing done! Congratulations!
-
Bump. These are great!
-
I'm in. It isn't for the perfect.....it's for those of use wanting a reminder to feed our bodies real, fresh foods. Come and join us! Let's encourage eachother.

Lots of clean, whole foods....fruits and veges. Carrot and green juices...your body loves. Heathy oils... cold pressed. Stay away from all other hydrogenated oils if you want a happy liver. I had a severe gallbladder attack (I am a nurse, work on a surgical floor).... it was a wake up call. I immediately got on Dandelion…

Greek yogurt is so creamy and lovely.
-
Oooooo, you are strong.... good job.

Drink a huge glass of water. It must be in the air! I just want to chow down on something today. However, my college age daughter drove through Dairy Queen today.....yes, I was in the car (she is skinny). The ice cream pictures made me want to claw the dashboard. Yet, when she had her food I had to roll down my window, as…

I don't have the history of loss and coming through a rough patch and regaining my motivation. However, reading success stories and ways people have regained their health really pumps me up! If I was feeling like you I'd go to the library or the bookstore and have some luxury time for yourself. Get a hot tea or an iced…

Yes.... "unglorious turkey wattle"..... horrid name, but that's what it is!! Thank for the responses and encouragement.... you guys/gals look great in the photos!! Jack LaLaine has like a zillion YouTube facial exercises. I wonder if I should start some of those.

I know weight loss can be so discouraging and difficult...and especially when your doctor tells you you must consider bypass surgery to save your life (due to severe medical issues). However, I feel it should only be done in extreme situations.....and even then, I don't know. (The greater your obesity, the greater your…
-
That's great. I looked at your profile photos....what a difference. Can you tell us a bit what you did to achieve such success? Best advice? Congrats!
-
You've really worked hard and it looks like you are really enjoying the lifestyle the comes with being fit! I live in a beautiful area and it is a shame how I have let my weight deter me from enjoying the fabulous outdoors! MFP is great, I feel it can make the difference, however the reality of achieving such as you have…

When my son was two, he was sitting in the grocery cart holding a sweet potato and looking at it with glee. The person behind me in line asked my how in the world I got my child to eat like that......ah... I said, "Well, he doesn't have his own money yet, so I'm in charge of buying his food." I have struggled with my…

Bump - Want to read success blogs!! Thanks for responding here.

Everyone is different. It's tough. I think that when I exercise I don't lose as quickly at first, but, I agree with the comment above..... give it a month. Eat healthy, fresh and balanced. Exercise. Then really poke around MFP. There is a lot of dialog about folks improving their loss by eating more (Good food, not crap).…

I work at a hospital. The Cafeteria can be a high calorie trap. When I am packing my lunch and it comes to my break.... I am SO glad I have my own food and don't have to eat the same old selections. Fellow staff envy my lunches. Make it fun. Buy a insulated lunch box or bag and don't depend on the staff fridge. There are…

Just reading Jillian Michael's, "Mastering Your Metabolism." It's sensible and I think has great tools for how to unlock hormones to work on our behalf. (Not just the male/female kind). She has a cookbook that goes with it, too. The Biggest Loser books are sensible, too. Try the library.

My new favorites helping with weight-loss: Papaya Mango Fresh Salsa with the Multigrain Tortilla Chips. Yogurt Squishers put in the freezer for a yummy 60 calorie treat (Way better than the Gogurts). Right now I am buying the 32 oz. NF Greek plain yogurt and mixing it with the 16oz Vanilla plain Yogurt. (Makes it not too…

What have we got to lose? ...um....jk. Sent you a request.
-
You look fabulous and will do the uniform proud! God bless you for your efforts and your desire to serve our country. Thank you.
-
Hey. What really works for me is planning my menu for the week, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and snacks. Then write down your shopping list according to that. Otherwise I find that I end up wasting food or not having a certain ingredient and then, that's discouraging and can cause me to get off track. You might even just shop…
-
This is a great idea! Especially jeans! I'm totally going to do this! How great that you are down, too, as well as the original poster! Congrats.
-
How cool is that!?! I think there might be something like that in a park a few miles away, I'll need to check. To record? I'd break down the activities in the course and put them in individually, then add them together and make your own exercise entry. Did you actually do it, yet? Let me know how it goes. Way to find fun…

You may not be where you "thought" you would be, but aren't you glad that it's not a year ago!?! Day by day. You look great! Your family must be so proud of you. I can't wait to give that joy to my family. Keep reaching for health! Thanks for sharing the reality of your journey.
