I don't have a good fat free because I tend to agree with the other poster's regarding FF, however, a great option is Bolthouse Farms yogurt dressings. They are in the refrigerated section and they have several varieties. Low cal and very tasty. My favorite in the Blue Cheese.

Beautiful eyes

Don't be discouraged. When I started working out I had weeks I gained or lost nothing. My body was building muscle and when I took my measurements it proved to be true. Keep at it. Your body will do goofy things like that. More importantly do not be married to the scale...check it every couple weeks or something. Give your…

Seem's like you are eating a lot of sodium...cheese and processed food. You also may not be eating enough. Perhaps through a large salad in there with lots of toppings and protein from fresh sources vs. pre packaged.

My tip would be to get a friend who already works out and is somewhat religious about it. Go with them and use them to keep you accountable. This worked for me....about a few weeks my friend kind of stopped going but I was already in the groove so was able to keep it up on my own. I now go more often than she does. You…

I also use PB2 vs regualr peanut butter. Sometimes I will do natural PB from Trader Joe's because it is strictly peanuts but PB2 is so much better than that even. Also, if you do any kind of protein shake PB2 is great to put in there.

Depending on what kind of peanut butter it could be so. Banana's are probably a bigger culprit. I used to have between 1 and 2 banana's a day and experienced the same problem. I cut them out and the weight loss is coming along again.

You're an a true inspiration. Thank you for sharing your story and congratulations on your success. You truly look fantastic!

I've taken them. I would have thought that being 332lbs to start with I would have seen great success given the portion control piece alone. I didn't. I now follow MFP and work out everyday and am seeing tremendous results. I like Visalus shakes because they are great on the go, taste good, give me energy...but I could get…

Good morning~ I started out at the same weight and excercise everyday. I have been eating about 1500 calories a day and choosing low glycemic, healthy, protein rich foods.

Great job! You look great.

Great job. You look fantastic

Great job. What clothing size did you start at and what are you in now?

I made these but added cinnamon and vanilla. Delicious. I also realized they are REALLY filling so if you are going somewhere and need to fill up, eat 2 or 3 of these and you will be good go. Very tasty, thank you for sharing.

Yes, I am at that point. I drink about 100oz a day and only pee about 5 or 6 times a day now. I think there is truth to that. Also, I've experienced the "runners high" but only once. It was after a Tabata class and I decided to go walk on the treadmill. I walked faster, harder, and longer than I ever have. I haven't been…

When water intake is increase there is a lack of headache, edginess, aches, pains, soreness, and a giant plethora or other things. Just do it and you will feel it.

What an inspiration you are. Congratulations, you look amazing! Very beautiful.

Congrats on taking the first step. I have over 100lbs to lose and when I first started working out it was not easy for me either. Start small. Do some things while sitting down. Get a 5lb weight and do some exercises. Try workout bands. Search the internet for exercises to do while sitting down. As far as getting up and…

I agree with your statement. I am majorly increased my protein and have dropped weight and inches. People across the board (losing, gaining, maintaining) need to increase thier protein.

Reported for racism why????

OMG you are amazing and beautiful! You were, where I am today! Your story brought tears to my eyes and showed me I can do this. Thank you so much for posting.

I log it as dancing, aerobic, modern ballet, twist

Fantastic job. Well done!

Ditto

^^^ yep

Thanks. People keep telling me that....I think I will settle down once I lose these 10 lbs to get me under the 300's. :)

What other kind of weight training would you suggest? I'm open...and new to all of this. Also, I drink about 100 oz or more of water per day but am finding I am no longer using the bathroom every 5 seconds...and still drink more. I am not diabetic and I am sure it is just because of the working out. Agree?

Thanks. I will read that article. I am working out everyday either doing Tabata, Zumba, an hour on the treadmill, or a mix of treadmill, rowing machine, leg press, and seated row. It's really weird to have the skin be so much looser but not having other results like weight loss. It has to be a good thing though...right?…
