i eat food that is filling. and i try to eat throughout the day ..as in grazing but planned grazing. i always bring snacks in the car where i spend a lot of time . i eat with out thought so if i dont bring them i will go through a drive thru somewhere and get something that i know i shouldnt be having. drink alot of water,…

i hate schedules ... to the bone i hate them which is why im so inconsistent ..i have always been a spontaneous person . i get bored with routine

that is devine intervention.. save the money for a new outfit you want once you loose some weight .

add me anyone ... i am looking for folks who want to interact on here and not just be on a friend list

carbs spread out during the day with them being the lowest at dinner is what i try to attempt . it has worked for me so far .. i would ask him the reasoning because any trainer i ever had suggested to spread it out

i eat about an hour before workout and after workout have a protein/carb something.. easiest for me is either yogurt with fruit, a protein bar or nuts and fruit ..and always water

i can relate to you big time ..for all my life . now i am doing it with a different mind set . one thing i definitely do is prepare myself ahead of time . i am keeping majorly busy in my life now and assuring my time to do my workouts . i have small baby step goals so instead of saying i need to lose 70lbs i say i need to…

ya 80 lbs ..took hard work and i try not to think about the fact that i gained alot of it back, im back on the road though so I know it is achievable

i wouldn't say it annoys me so much as it baffles me how a lady dressed to the nines for the gym with make up and perfect hair do , walking on a treadmill as slow as the day is long , surfing the phone or watching a show on the tv screen in front of her ... chompin on a piece of gum no less .. i dont really care but i…

dannng you dont even look the same ..wow all i have to say is kudos to you!!!!!!

just keep it up...if you need a kick in the rear let us know lol

because i was like them at one time ...extremely athletic and ate crap on top of all my meals ..and it got me to 300lbs at one time in my life so i am more just trying to make them aware of what can happen .. and so i opted to stop buying junk food ..i told them if they want junk food to get a job and buy it ...which they…

because i dont want ketchup or mustard on my greens .. the hamburger was good the way it was . i made a pub burger with onion, worschester sauce and a bit of ketchup and oatmeal (instead of breadcrumbs).. i had tomato on the salad so i used that with the burger instead .. and i needed some healthy fat so i use the olive…

i do the same thing ..i like to get under a mark like get down under a five or a 0 (ex if i am 225 i want to make a goal to make it to 219) ..just seeing that different number keeps me feeling like it is reachable

men typically lose faster ..take a look at what you are doing and switch it up.. if you stay with the same thing every day then you will stay stagnant

rarely... men are the worst at noticing

a guy i got in mind.

dreamy

a big fat wet one right on the cheek and a big ol' mom hug too

i need all the friends i can get but i want pushy/supportive ones ... not sedentary please ... im in the zone to compete and win

five years ago i was 50lbs lighter than now ... lost 80 back then and gained actually 70 back ... im trying not to mull over it .. just got my old clothes out the other day and hung some up in view as my carrot to keep going.. doing all this with a fresh mind and the idea that getting healthier is not a miserable thing..…

at least you are attempting... im back too and found out i lost 16lbs since last year so since i came back i lost four more ...im not stopping this time ..im going to Greece in February and I need to get my groove on during the dream trip of a lifetime ..look out here i come!!!!!! i am welcoming anyone on here who wants to…

i cant do insanity just yet .. i read to do the cardio recovery for a week first then start the insanity.. so for two weeks i am doing that as well as training for running an 8k.. between the two i should be in a better place to attempt the insanity program .. its intense and amazing but i do not want to kill myself over it

one of these days i will motivate myself enough to do it all early in the morning ..otherwise i am a latter in the day type of person to work out.. then i cant sleep lol ... i get up early but i just hate moving fast in the morning.. i rather enjoy the lollygagging early in the day because once i start my actual day i…

try grilling veggies with olive oil and seasoning ... cubed butternut squash and onion sauteed in coconut oil , salt and pepper until browned ... add fresh spinach, sunflower seeds and craisins after cooked

weight on the 27th 240 goal weight by january 230 Ultimate goal is 180

i am up for it ... i actually just uploaded a couch to 10k app i intend on starting today

i eat steel cut oats ..i make enough for four days so all i have to do is heat it up because it takes a while to cook. i usually have it with some sort of nuts and seeds , sometimes add some craisins and always add cinnamon .. i started putting coconut /almond milk in it and it really adds to the flavor

i like cooking foods fresh and not much on premade foods. however the lean cuisine butternut squash ravioli is amazing .. i never buy it though unless its on sale and i only use it if im in a rush

i left the diet industry last year and came back three days ago and found that i lost 16 lbs since i last logged in to myfitnesspal... but im back to dieting and working out now ..i simply did not feel healthy and really need to get this weight off me .
