It is sooooooooo good! I'm totally addicted to it and think of it as a treat. I like blue diamond or silk and go with either vanilla or dark chocolate. The unsweetened did not taste good to me. I got started on it when I went a month trying to be a vegan. It is lower in calories, and is a good source of nutrients. Try it,…

I was at a funeral. Everyone seemed to have lost weight and were all congratulating each other and comparing biceps etc. I decided I wasn't going to be the fat one anymore. I would lose weight and fit in to feel accepted. Also, I would stop looking pregnant when iwas not so.

Keep the end goal in mind. Not just a number on the scale, but what you really really want. In my case, smaller clothes,no belly flab and people around me not recognizing me.

I want smaller clothes this year but usually a ring or other piece of jewelry is fun. If she is currently into knitting, get her a gift card to a fabric store. If she likes movies, plan a movie night with popcorn and comfortable pillows and blankets...picnic on the floor. Think of her interests and go from there.

I was obese when I got pregnant with my first daughter. I lost 20 pounds while pregnant , then gained 35 then had her and lost it all, then gained it back. so 220 then 200 then 235 then had her and 200 then back up to 225.

you look "fine" said in a very flat voice. uck. hate it.

I agree with some of the others that you need to be eating more and also not deprive yourself of things you really want. A little bit of a craving here and there is not bad. This needs to be a way of life, not something you MAKE yourself do and feel terrible about. You've done a great job proving to yourself you can keep…

I agree that you should not gain fat from eating your exercise calories back.

actually since you are already at 1600, you should go 1800, 1400, 1800,1400 or somthing

you might try a day of 1400 cals then a day of 1600 then a day of 1200 or something to mix it up for your body. I have heard others say that when you hit a plateau you should have a cheat day...and eat whatever you want to get your body moving. If sticking with the same calories every day isn't working, then this can't…

bananas cantalope pineapple grapes shredded lettuce tomato strawberries little carrots rice- lowest calorie I can find skim milk lunch meat with least amount of calories in a container I can reuse cheerios trail mix frozen veggies, peas, brocoli fresh brocoli too oatmeal Whole wheat bread and or tortillas

I made a cake and used a can of pop instead of the eggs, water and oil and it turned out awesome!!!! It was also much more calorie friendly! And Yummy!

That is very true.

You've got yourself on a 1200 calorie diet...that's really steep. Consider some extra wiggle room. Good Job on your water!!!

bump

ok, instead of falling off the wagon, just get on a motorcycle or an elephant or something and then you can't fall off the wagon! :)

I just changed mine today so that the bf starts me at -500 or -800 (depending on who is eating and how much) by using the ebf under the food category. It was nice because it added extra nutrients I needed to get, like extra protein! In the end, you need to do it so that it makes sense to you. It is really hard to wrap your…

I move with them unless I have my kids with me. It is not safe to have little ones walking up or down on an escalator.

not sure how long I can call myself a newbee....but I've been on mfp almost 2 weeks and am loving it. I use it from my phone and my computer. It is fantastic! Anyone can friend me as well!

I wear makeup about two times a year when I get in a mood to put some on. I do my hair about as often.

is it okay to bump your own topic? Or is that a silent no no?

I'm a mama too! Add me if you like.

as long as you aren't pregnant....I think I remember hearing you should be careful with tuna when pregnant.

and congratulations on your weight loss!

Can you "weight lift" the kids? The pets? Moving furniture around when you are vaccuming is exercise. Take the kids running, or roller skating or to play soccer, basketball, baseball, ice hockey?

Maybe the mom thought they were poisoned apples (Iike in snow white) and she didn't want anyone to know she knew so she told her daughter no to save her!

Nobody needs to use the word glutton. It is hurtful and increases guilt.

aw valerie, its tough being pregnant and trying to eat well. Hang in there.

My girls are almost 5 months and 3 yrs. old. Add me!
