I'm 23 with about 40 more lbs to lose, you can friend me :)

Okay, awesome. Thanks for the responses!

"This probably applies to people who have a problem with night-time snacking. Not necessarily people that eat after 8 and it's part of their regular daily intake. I'm willing to guess that the people that are heavier that do eat after 8pm are eating that meal/snack after they've already had dinner and are already over in…

I'm thing about doing this too...I need a change & to break a plateau!

Looks good, thanks for the recipe! I agree, those crispers are INSANE for their N.I. count. That should be illegal. Haha

Any of the light frappuccinos are good, & they use Truvia in the light coffee base instead of Splenda (I try to stay away from Splenda). Sometimes I add whip, most of the time I don't.

I know it sucks, but it's all about the metabolism. Everyone's different!

It doesn't matter what my "qualifications" are. I have taken nutrition courses & studied enough about nutrition. I know exactly what it takes to become a nutritionist & or trainer. I'm not one, but at one time wanted to be. Soon found out I wanted something totally different for my life. It doesn't take much to be a…

Carrots are considered a vegetable, & you can eat a slice of ham everyday if you want. It does have a lot of sodium & may not keep you full longer than other proteins, but don't feel like you're being sinful if you have it. Some things bother me when I read them & I have to throw my 2 cents in. ;) On another note, I've…

Looks so good! Thanks for sharing!

With all that said, I must also say I am so blessed to have my baby girl & that my "mommy scars" are worth it for her!

I just posted something like this on my status! I got up feeling "good" & then I went to change shirts...& immediately the good feeling went away. I've had 1 c section (July of last year) & just recently decided to get serious about losing weight. I was in great shape before I got pregnant & never had 1 visible stretch…

I have it but I haven't used it yet! I'd like to hear feedback on this too..

Yeah I'm gonna try returning it to Target tomorrow...will definitely suck if they don't take it! :/

Awesome! I was looking at the FT4 before I posted this, so this was a good confirmation. :) thank you!

Awesome job! You look great! I as well am working on getting rid of some baby weight, & I also had a c section :/ hope I can tone the belly area up after I lose the weight! (if it's even possible).

You look great! Awesome job

That's crazy! He doesn't sound like a good boyfriend, you deserve better! Someone who will inspire you & back you up with your fitness goals!

Definitely makes sense! Thanks for breaking it down for me

I've learned that the best way for me to stick with it & not throw in the towel when I eat "bad", is realizing that everything in moderation is key. That it's okay to live a little & give in when we have a craving, if we don't, we might give up & binge. I make room in my food diary for little treats through out the day &…

That makes sense! Thanks!

Sounds yummy- can't wait to try it!

I noticed when I did WW & tracked through MFP at the same time, that I was allowed a lot more calories on WW...so instead of being confused & trying to figure out the balance, etc. I just decided to stick with MFP- free, easy concept (calories in vs. calories out), & I can quickly track through my phone-OH & no counting…

Thank you for the advice liatvashdi, makes sense! :) I'm going to set my goal to lose 1.5 lbs a week & I'll get more cals by exercise. NightOwl- very interesting article, thanks for sharing! I agree that you don't need crazy mathematical equations to figure out how much you should eat a day, etc. & I don't think you should…

Get it girl!

Thank you all for your responses! I definitely needed to hear this, to remember that this is not a "diet", it's a lifestyle change, & I know I'll never go the rest of my life only eating fruits & vegetables, lol. Nothing off limits, plenty of exercise, & as much "healthy" stuff I can fit in, but no deprivation. I can do…

Unfortunately, no :/ Wish they'd make it to where we could. I just go to the message boards on safari & add the site to my home screen as an app. Not AS convenient as it would be if it were a real app, but it works.

haha that's awesome!

Thank you! : )

Great ideas! I went ahead & changed the "30 mins. of general aerobics" to "10 min. stretching" (warm up/cool down), & 20 mins. "aerobic dance". I think that'll be more accurate. & I will ask for a HRM for Christmas! Thanks y'all!
