My typical breakfast consists of eggs and toast.... On the off chance that I don't eat eggs it's usually cereal with almond milk or small pancakes... I wouldn't worry if you don't mind eating that day after day (I typically don't... my husband makes excellent egg white omelets for me :smile: )... If you are starting to get…

that is sooo awesome!!!! amazing work... I can't wait till I can wear dresses and they look "right" on me... :-)

I know with Jillian MIcheals 30 day shred, I lost only 3 pounds... I did lose a lot of inches... There are days when I net around 900 calories... I try not to net below that... Do not force yourself to eat... That would make me feel sick as well... If there is a daily work out that you do, log it a head of time... I did…

no I don't use the spray... What is it called? Is it specifically for Red Light? The one thing I do after I finish with Red Light Therapy is to apply skin tightening lotion.

I am a person who finds humor in little things... I started laughing when the floor started vibrating... I started off on level 1 (relaxation) for the first two days. Then I moved up to level 2 (beginners) for another two days. I am currently using level 3 (muscle toning) right now... Going to try level 4 (advanced muscle…

I'm 5'6" and my goal is 130.... That is about middle for the normal BMI. While I'm going to decide when I get to that goal where I'll go from there, I know that I am not going below 120. For me I feel that anything below 120 will put me close to the unhealthy BMI range. I didn't work this hard to throw myself in the other…

I know that my weight loss has slowed as well... I'm losing an average of 10 pounds per month. I am comfortable with that progress since it will get me to my goal weight by the 1 yr mark. I did have a friend that was on here and when he would plateau he would eat a high calorie, high fattie meal... It usually got him over…

I use it... I haven't started noticing any changes yet... However, it's only been two weeks since I started using it (total of 6xs)... it's recommended to use 2-3 times a week... I'll let you know if I see any changes...

bump.... This is excellent!!! While I do not use the Herbalife shakes (I personally need to "chew" something for my body/brain to register that I've eaten). I am in a weight loss class that is run by two Herbalife consultants (also friends of mine). They gave some recipes to the class, but the ones that I've seen on here…

I tend to have a visual personality. For my friend and also myself, we made little encouragement "posters" for each of us. We listed out goals (smaller goals: for example- mine was as follows..... mini goal-190, goal- 180, mini goal- 170, mini goal- 160, mini goal-150, goal-140, etc). I used different colors for the mini…

I cannot eat breakfast before 8:00am (usually the later the better). If I eat before 8:00am, I tend to binge the rest of the day. I'm not sure as to why my body does this. I can eat the same exact thing just at the different times, but for some reason if I eat earlier than 8am, I tend to eat more the rest of the day.…

ummm... I might be able to get up, but I know for sure that I wouldn't be able to get down... I'm afraid of heights... The last "mountain" I was up was Stone Mountain in Atlanta, Georgia. I was fine walking up the mountain. It was beautiful. However, coming back down was terrifying since I HAD to look down!!!!!!!! No thank…

I typically eat real foods. Yes, I do use lower calorie toppings such as mayo, dressings, etc. However, there are days when I would eat a whole egg (today I had 2 whole large eggs with potatoes for breakfast.... yum!!!)... I eat meat (mostly lean- chicken, tune, etc)... heck, I even had girl scout cookies last night... The…

I definitely think you should drink more and try to get a snack in there if you can. However, it's not entirely bad that you lose more than 1 pound. Some weeks I can lose up to 3 or 4 pounds. That's usually the week that I put more time in at the gym. Sometimes I eat my exercise calories back and sometimes I don't. I…

I love potatoes. Especially red skinned potatoes. For myself, I will definitely eat the skin of a red potato. It's sad that they do get a bad rep. I don't eat mine processed. I usually buy from my local farmer's market and cut one or two (they are the small ones) up and bake them with a little bit of salt and pepper. So…

Awesome!!!! You are so right!!! He's only sorry because you weren't fat anymore... I'm glad you said what you did... You look amazing by the way :-)

I have two young children (3 yrs and 20 months). While my oldest can pretty much eat everything that I eat, my youngest is still learning how to properly chew the uncooked veggies. To get their fruit and veggies in during the day, I give them fruit for lunch and cooked veggies for dinner. They don't always eat the veggies,…

Sadly, I tried a lot of gimmicks (even the herbalife ones).... I just couldn't stick with them at all. It felt like I was not allowed to enjoy the food that I love.... Since coming on myfitnesspal, I've made a lifestyle change that I could stick with. I don't have nagging cravings (if I do, I eat that food that I'm craving…

that's awesome congrats!!! I can't wait till I get there... I have about 15 lbs to go and then I'll be "overweight" :-)

That's awesome!!!!! congrats... I know I have become a little obsessed over the scale as well... I am to the point where I'm ready to have my husband hide the scale until Friday mornings (my official weigh in day). My TOM always throws me for a loop. I'll be losing steadily over the month, then I hit that week :grumble: .…

I love veggies!!! Not only is it nutritious, it helps to keep me feeling full longer :smile:

My reward is to go out and buy a very nice gown/dress (one of the ones that is slender. I've never been able to wear one due to being overweight. I always thought they were so beautiful). I will also be getting my hair done. While I'm doing that my husband will be getting dressed up, and then we will be going out to a…

I'm pretty sedentary as well. It will still come off at 1200 calories. I did the 30 day shred last month (the entire thing in 30 days. lost over 10 inches). I have been taking 30 minutes walks as much as possible on nice days (I have young children so I can't really run and I'm a stay at home mom, I can't just leave them…

turkey is probably the best one that I can think of, but you'll have to compare different types of turkey. I buy hillshire farms thin sliced turkey.

it looks like my comment posted twice.

I started losing weight on December 27. I have lost 46 lbs so far (in about 4 months). I'm not eating unhealthily at all. Grant it, I started at 240 lbs (currently 194 lbs). I know that the more you weight the more you lose at the beginning. I am eating at 1200 calories per day (I do eat my exercise calories. I need the…

I won't call myself a snob, but I'm just more shocked that my cart used to look like that. I'm more aware of the calorie content of everything. I look at what other people eat, and all I see is numbers (calorie amount) instead of food. I definitely try to remind myself that I was once in that position. I wasn't aware of…

Do you have your activity level set to sedentary? If so maybe change that to light activity instead. That way, you will get maybe 100 or 200 more extra calories, and you won't have to worry about over calculating. Another thing you could do is to keep your calories at the amount that they are. If you feel like you are not…

It's a very good movie, but extremely sad. I have to agree with the previous comment. I saw it and definitely liked it. However, I wouldn't want to watch it again, because it is that sad of a movie. I do suggest watching it at least once to remind ourselves of the horrors that took place during the holocaust.

that's a possibility that your body is getting used to not eating right before bed. Although, what kind of protein do you eat for your last meal of the day? If you don't eat anything, I suggest adding that in or replacing protein for something else. Protein helps to maintain that full feeling. I try to have my protein be…
