Thanks for the input! I appreciate it :)

So... You gained back 3/4 of what you lost? Why do you think that was?? Was it due to poor diet or lack of exercise? I'm curious as to why nearly everyone who takes it has the same experience... Wondering if it's being treated as a "magic" pill instead of something to assist onself during a lifestyle change in becoming…

I was searching Google for information on Phentermine when I came across this post... My PCP just prescribed me 37.5mg Phentermine, because I've experienced a significant weight gain following a miscarriage last fall. I'm excited to add this to a healthy diet and regular exercise (I begin training for my 2nd marathon next…

For me, it honestly depends on the day and weekends have little to no structure. But I try to be up at 7am every day and, after showering and getting ready for the day, here's how my meals look: Breakfast @ 8am... Midday snack @ 11am... Lunch @ 2pm... Pre-workout snack @ 5pm... Dinner @ 8pm And, if I have anything left…

A Frittata is an egg-based dish similar to an omelette or crustless quiche... You add any kind of vegetables, meat, cheese, herbs and spices that you want- cook it in a skillet or sautee pan, add eggs and let them set up firm on the bottom, then put the skillet or sautee pan in the oven and bake until the eggs are cooked…

I had been eating Fiber One Honey Clusters with 1% milk for breakfast but read an article which stated that you will stay fuller for longer if you eat protein at breakfast-- not fiber. So, I started making frittatas on Sunday nights and just reheat each serving in the morning Monday through Thursday (using 1 carton of…

GREAT JOB, Larry! Kudos to you for acknowledging that you are, in fact, "obese" and admitting that you want/need help to change! That first step is paramount! You *CAN* do this! You've got a support network with your family and your girlfriend- which is awesome and more than a lot of other people have. Just realize that…

I started running because I wanted to lose weight fast... I kept running because I realized that I actually COULD run... I began to run farther because I wanted to prove to everyone else that I could... I pushed to run faster because I realized I was capable of it... I signed up for a half-marathon because I wanted…

I went from a 40DDD to a 36D and, by the time I get to my GW, will likely fit into a full C... Like you, I find this to be very depressing because I've had large breasts for more than half my life. I have seriously been considering implants for a long time but don't know if I'll ever take the plunge. I guess I'd be more…

The FitBit and MFP apps actually work together and it's awesome! For example, I ran 3 miles last Saturday at a 6mph/pace and logged my run (activity + duration + time started) and MFP reflected a 430 calorie burn based on my age/weight... However, my FitBit knew that I'd actually burned more calories than MFP tracked…

My boyfriend got me hooked on Muscle Pharm Muscle Gel Shots... 90 calories and 22g protein. I also love hard boiled eggs and omelet muffins (http://www.kalynskitchen.com/2006/10/egg-muffins-revisited-again.html) because you can make 10-15, throw them in a plastic bag (2-3 per bag), store in the fridge and just grab them on…

I'm doing 1200, too... I tend to burn 350-1800 calories a day, though, depending on my workout. I'm training for a half-marathon and Sundays are my long run days (hence the 1800 max burn) and that's when I tend to splurge as a "cheat" day. Would love to make new friends for motivation and find out what sort of meals all…

I agree with PP! It's great that you were able to get to a healthier weight before getting pregnant but, for the next 9 months or so, your focus needs to shift... Instead of thinking about your weight and the number on the scale, you need to pay more attention to your health and the life growing inside of you. Continue…

How about just 2 eggs and 1 slice of cheese with the Morningstar patty for breakfast? And why 2 servings of cereal PLUS peanut butter for lunch with NO dinner? I'd say if you're gonna have cereal for lunch, try only 1 serving and either skip the PB entirely and sub for fruit- or eat half the quantity of PB and still…
