Mmmm that sounds great! Thanks!

yup, adjones5 is right. that's usually what i use!

Anything with avocado and eel. Mmmmm!

i'm so glad i saw this because i just bought some frozen fruit thinking that i would make smoothies! thanks for the recipe!

don't beat yourself up! for women, it's especially hard to lose weight sometimes due to stress, hormones, etc. just keep at it! do not give up and keep leaning on all of us.

keep working at it! it takes 21 days to fully break bad habits and then it's time to find new, healthy habits. don't get discouraged. you can do this. it just takes time and a ton of effort. don't give up. keep pushing!

yeah i wouldn't worry too much about it. definitely think it's the sodium. don't forget that it's also the kind of pizza you eat. last night, a friend and i ordered a chicken and artichoke pizza on whole wheat crust and it was the first time in a long time that i didn't feel heavy after eating pizza. so like anything you…

honestly...sometimes i take a nap.... (don't judge me! hahahaha)

yay! fantastic!

way to go! woo hoo!

that's awesome! congratulations! :)

i do the SAME THING! it's always around 2 or 3 and i am completely famished!

My friend bought me a book called "Buff Bride." You should check it out! It's got a workout plan in there that I've been following for the past 6 weeks and it has really helped me a lot! Nice to meet you!

Hey hun! I totally had the same struggles when I was in college. I was a double Theatre and English major and graduated in 2008. I have always had body image issues and the costumer would always comment on if I had lost weight/gained weight. You are totally not alone. Honestly, the best thing that you're doing is talking…

if you have Netflix, there are some great workouts that are on "Instant Stream." i would definitely look into those! i do some of the pilates ab exercises.

great job! that's such an awesome accomplishment! xoxox

congratulations!

congratulations!

probably. it's got a ton of sodium, so it makes you retain water.

you are totally not nuts! i don't run at all and my friend has convinced me to do a 5K in a few months. here's what she has sent me and it's been really beneficial so far. http://www.fromcouchto5k.com/articles/training/the-couch-to-5k-training-plan/ good luck! xoxox

you can do it!

i know some people that have replaced their chair with an exercise ball in order to build core muscles while working.

sounds delicious! thanks for the recipe!

You look amazing! We're all so proud of you! xoxox

Good luck everyone! I'm getting married on July 2nd and I hope to drop 10lbs. I notice I'm having a difficult time losing weight due to stress levels. Anyone else having this problem???

you've come to the right place! one thing that has really helped me is making MFP a part of my daily routine: logging on and putting in EVERYTHING i've had to eat for the day. make sure that you log everything you eat. i have a hard time snacking throughout the day, but when i log it in i can see how much i do it. also…

Hmmm...I really like the *CRUNCH* series. Actually, if you have Netflix, you can put it on your Instant Queue and stream it! There's a couple of different versions depending on the intensity you want.

Welcome to the site! I LOVE Zumba but like others have said...it's pretty tough on the heart. My heart rate skyrockets when I do it. I didn't get the chance to read through all the comments, so I don't know if anyone has said this yet. Have you tried pilates? It is a killer workout that's pretty easy on the heart. I did…

Love that idea! My starting weight is 142lbs. Btw--I'm new! Hope everyone is doing well and achieving their goals! -LR
