I've been taking Alli for a month now and have not had even one side effect episode in which they speak of. I carefully watch my fat intake though and I have the book which has menu plans and the "phases" of the Alli diet. I'm having pretty good success with it. One thing that I like is that it is FDA approved and the only…

I found some exercise videos at the local thrift store for a buck. I'm doing Tae Bo and some Pilates. Cheaper than a gym and I can work out whenever I want.

5'10" here and for me, it's not so much what I will weigh, but what size I want to be. I want to be a size 12. Now, what will I weigh at size 12, I don't know since I've never weighed below 250 pounds in all my adult life.

Thank you!! both to the lovely lady that asked the question that I've been wanting to ask, but didn't have the courage for fear of looking stupid, and to the wise one that answered the question. Now I know that 1) I wasn't the only one that didn't know what "bump" means so I'm not stupid and 2)I know what it means. THANK…

You can make your own breakfast sancwiches using egg substitute, light cheese, sandwich thins, soy sausages, etc etc etc ... cook them up one evening, wrap 'em up and stick them in the freezer. Then grab-n-go.

I blanch and skin the tomatoes (personal…

I try to find somethng close to it on the data base and gauge my participation accordingly. LIke for me, a 40 minute walk, where I really did get my heart rate up is kinda between a 2.0 mile and a 3.0 mile, but the 3.0 mile would show as burning more than I think I would, so I use 3.0 and enter 30 minutes instead of 40.…

As for myself, I know that I could not adhere to the very strick calorie regime of the HCG diet. Along with the extremely limited food list. I hear that the HCG supposedly helps you not feel hungry as it tells your body to use the stored fat, but, for me eating is more than just to survive and I know that I would not be…

:flowerforyou: Welcome and congratulations! I too am on here to lose weight for my wedding. I got engaged on Christmas and I'm giving myself 2 years to plan the wedding and lose about 140 pounds, or to get to a size 12 wedding dress, which is my goal size. Good luck to you. I have no doubt that MFP is the right tool to…

I am totally hooked on Chobani. 140 calories, 0 fat. I like the fruit flavors and use the plain as a substitute for sour cream.

Investigate Chia seeds. I know this sound odd, but, they acutally help. Here's a bit about them, chia seeds (found at health food stores) absorb 10x their size to creat a gel, called curiously enough, chia gel. So, you add chia seeds to a liquid, any liquid, even water. Let them do their job, and then drink it down. The…

The great thing about this site is that it's YOUR site. Use it as you need. So, like me, I look mostly at the overall calories, and secondly at the fats. I always go over on protein because I tend to try to go more for lower carb and fat. So, use this tool as you need and you will be successful.

Hey there... Try the Greek yogurts. They are lower in carbs waaaay higher in probiotics and protein. There are seveer brands out there, Chobani and Frage are popular ones, but Dannon makes one too. For lunch, for low carbs, I would eat lean lunch meats, low-fat string cheese and some yogurt. If you want a little carbs, you…

I plan my "munchies" into my food plan. I know that at a certain time, I'm going to want to snack. So, instead of being caught by surprise, I have my popcorn already written into my food plan. If that time comes and I don't want it, so be it, but otherwise, it's already planned for, so, I can have it. Hope this idea helps.…

I always feel sorry for those individuals that are so messed up that the only way to feel good about themselves is to belittle someone else, and the only way they can do so is to do so anonomously. You are so much better and stronger than they. :flowerforyou:
