I don't eat enough food containing protein throughout my day. But, I found a FANTASTIC protein shake I use that has a mild vanilla taste and allows me to add a tablespoon of a variety of dry mix sugar free puddings (my fav is cheesecake!!) for different tastes based on what i feel like. Or I will add a Crystal Light Wild…

I too believe in low carb! When I eat right, I keep mine around 100-150 carbs/day. I am getting back to that again now that I have more time to devote and less school stress. Even though I am not, I try to eat like a diabetic should in order to avoid it. I am also I need of motivation/encouragement/support.....add me!

This is not my first rodeo on losing weight or using mfp as a tool to make it successful. So feel free to add me!!

Bump!

Congrats on the awesome weight loss! I hope to be in the same boat one day....but I need motivation/support/kick in the *kitten* from mfp friends since I am the only one of everyone around me that is going through a weight loss journey. *I am always the one hiding behind everyone in a picture to hide how fat I am* But I am…

Feel free to add me! I too have yo-yo'd dieted for years now and now that I have a slowed schedule in school, I am devoting more time to getting in better shape and I need motivation/support/kick in the *kitten* friends on here!

That is a good question. i wish i knew for sure if it is a treadmill thing. but i would guess that the ground is a lot less forgiving when it comes to cushion compared to a treadmill....or it least that is how it feels when i get onto the treadmill. that difference in cushion may be the reason. i know a friend of mine that…

I am doing C25K as well....on w3...well, i was. that is about the time that the knee pain was unbearable and i am sure i felt fluid on my knee (not the first time in my life that it has happened)and i was icing my knee after each session. someone recommended a compression sleeve for my knee and a foam roller to do…

Bump!!

Self motivation plays an important part when you go through this journey. Not only do you have to have clear reasons why YOU want to lose weight, but in addition to friends and family encouraging you, find ways to reward yourself for reachings goals. FIRST, set small goals (for example...work out 4 times a week instead of…

Yummy ideas!!!!

Add me! i am in the same boat as you and i am determined to not let the boat sink this time!

Started week 2 of C25K after 20 minutes on the arc trainer.....finding i am actually looking forward to the running instead of dreading it like i thought i would when i first started

If you add me, you will have even more awesome in your life!! on day 10...again. but i HAVE to do it this time. the diff this time is that i too need people to motivate me and help keep me on track. so i am branching out and posting/commenting to coral a good group of fellow mfp memers to help me succeed this time and i in…

I simply add 1 tablespoon of a sugar free pudding (dry) which adds very little calories. some days i feel like chocolate, some days i feel like cheesecake, or even butterscotch. using a plain vanilla flavored protein mix doesnt affect the taste much at all and i have to have variety or i get bored and fall off of plan.

it's the "now" version of a high 5

using a splash of MIO or Crystal Light in strawberry is my quick go to cause vanilla has always been boring to me!

@ tmpecus78 just tried it and thank you! it was yummy and it is officially a part of my daily water intake!

i guess the pic of Belle is makes it hard to guess as it isn't a pic of me. check my profile to see real pictures

@phoenix....jackson

my mouth is watering from just reading these posts about ACV...i love the stuff and drink it straight from the bottle. some people crave sweets, i crave acidic stuff. i also use it in my dressings...1tbs of ACV and 1tbs of lite raspberry vinegarette dressing goes a long way on a salad...yum i never drank it to lose weight…
