When you set your goals, MFP will give you a calorie number to meet. Even if you do not exercise, if you meet that calorie allotment, you should lose weight. The calorie allotment is already at a deficit for the stats you entered.

Smoothies- I have a personal blender I leave at work. I just take the 'cup' back and forth. I put frozen fruit, spinach, chia ect. In the cup in the morning and just blend at lunch time.

I weigh in weekly for tracking weight loss. I do take out the scale sometimes during the week out of curiosity but only log it once a week, Friday mornings :)

I don't make different meals per say, just different options/sides. If I make a stir-fry on rice, I just have less rice and more veggies. If I am making a lasagna, I have a smaller piece and have a salad or a side of broccoli instead of garlic bread. If we are having omelets, I either have it without toast or on 1 piece of…

In the morning, I log what I am having for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I use approx amounts for my dinner since I don't quite know yet. ie. Estimate grams of broccoli for dinner. Then after I prepare the item and have weighed it, I adjust at night. Doing it all in the am gives me an idea of estimated calories I will eat…

I am down 29lbs since August. Once I hit 35lbs, I get to have pizza from a place I love!

1000 calories is not enough. Your body is in starvation mode. You should see a nutritionist to help educate you in proper weight loss.

Protein pancakes with strawberries! Yum!

What a fantastic job! I can`t wait for Onederland! 6.6 more lbs!

@brenn24179 I find the same thing. I am on point with my food and every once in a while I have an 'eat bad' item day and it results in kick starting something back up. It was my birthday weekend this past weekend as well as Canadian Thanksgiving. I indulged in foods I hadn't since my journey restarted and I lost 2.6lbs! I…

Just hit the 30lb mark today and it feels faannnnnntastic! Next goal, onederland! 9lbs away!

Don't get discouraged! Keep working hard! It is your journey! I re-started my journey on July 22nd. Today I officially hit the 25lb loss mark. Co-workers are just starting to notice.

Amazing! You also look 10 years younger!

SW 239.4 (July 22/19) CW 215 (Sept 2/19) GW 170 UGW 150 My mini goal is to lose 10lbs by the family wedding at the end of the month.

I find the machines that have the HRM scales (and you enter your weight) more accurate. Usually the machine and my fitbit are pretty close to each other.

Great work! Did you find you lost steady, or did you lose a lot in the beginning then steady out?

My mini goal is to loose another 10lbs before a family wedding that is at the end of September.

@lunchboxchuck you look fantastic! How long did your transformation take?

I do not like cottage cheese. However, I tried cottage cheese pancakes and they were to die for! I will look for the recipe. But it was ground up oats, cottage cheese, cinnamon

30DS! With three levels, you can ease into it. 10 days of level 1, 10 days, level 2, 10 days level three. You may even choose to do it twice or three times. Then once you feel comfortable with your abilities, switch to insanity.

I had some for dinner tonight! I LOVE them! They are 'softer' than spaghetti noodles but with my homemade sauce I do not really notice the difference in taste. They have a LOT fewer calories and carbs!

I drink 4Litres a day which is just above a gallon. I feel refreshed and my skin feels good. I find it easier on workout days. The bad part is - you go to the bathroom A LOT! Also, spread it out. I drink 24oz with my workout, 24oz on the way home from my workout, and try to get 24oz with every meal. I have cut out pop and…

Make a smoothie before you head to the gym. Put it in a thermal mug - should still be cold when you get out!

When my clothes got noticeably too big I just took them in with a sewing machine. I am in no way a sewer. So, if I took it in and it looked funny I just gave it to good will. I mean, it didn't fit anyways so what did I have to lose?

I like egg whites scrambled with green peppers and mushrooms and a bit of cheese on a slice of toast. I use a little bit of salsa to dip with.

You look fantastic!

I agree with the cheat MEAL not an entire day. Pick one day of the week (Saturdays for me) and allow yourself a cheat meal. Be careful not to eat a cheat day where you binge on junk ALL day and night. This is counter productive. I usually choose a meal out or something I have been craving all week ie. ice cream.

It is definitely possible! I lost 35 pounds for my wedding and had to get the dress dramatically altered. It depends on where you are holding the weight. I just stood in a friends wedding and I measured in 3 different sizes. (one size for my waist, a different for my hips and a different for the chest) I had to get the…

Saving for later!

I eat breakfast at 6am, snack at 10am and lunch at 12. For snack I have a smoothie. I use frozen berries, pomegranate juice, and flax seed. I bought a mini blender. Hamilton Beach brand has one that the top is the size of a glass. I leave the base at work and just bring the top home to wash. it works really well and I got…
