  • I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I have to credit you for choosing to better yourself, even after something liek this. I'm not sure if you fall under this category but I've started a new group for women under 35 and over 200 lbs. If you'd like to join, let me know and I'll send you an invite. Good luck on your…

  • I've sent invitations to all of you so far. I assume you can find them in your messages....i think. If you didn't get anything let me know and we'll figure out a way to get you in there.
  • Hello all! I've started a support group on MFP for women under 35 and over 200 lbs to help each other either get back on track or have that extra motivation. I made this group for under 35 years old and over 200 lbs because I'd like to find women who are similar to me but also have their own differences so we can help each…
  • Good luck all!
  • I see that you like to snack...which I am totally a snacker! I would just suggest adjusting your snacks. Not sure when you are eating these, if it's all at once or spread out. One thing that I have done (and is working for me) is I have a morning snack and afternoon snack but my meals are lower in calories as well. And my…
  • See a doctor. This is something you should not be seeking help about online but by a professional. Now, yes, someone on here may be a professional which is awesome for them to help but you need to talk to you own personal physician as they know about your health history and know your body.
  • I have the same problem because I color my hair as well. I use Trauma Treatment from L'Anza. Now it is a little pricey but you don't use it every day! I use it about 2-3 times a week and you only use about less than a marble size so one bottle lasts quite a long time. My first bottle lasted almost 3 months. Also, washing…
  • Jalapenos and fresh herbs are great! Dried herbs as well. Remember, those don't have calories so your food doesn't have to be boring! Also, watch out on the canned tomatoes. They are a great pick but most companies add salt and that makes them higher in sodium. Look for ones with "No salt added" on the label.
  • Fresh fruit with dip (greek yogurt, peanut butter, and cinnamon) Always veggies (with hummus or dip made with yogurt) Laughing cow cheese and triscuits Tuna salad (tuna, yogurt, egg, and any other thing you may want to eat) with triscuits- this is a good snack if you aren't eating lunch Craisins Popcorn Smoothie with…
  • Some staples in my house: Tuna Eggs (I have one dozen hard boiled and one dozen not) Peanut Butter (use in smoothies or just on stuff) Frozen multi grain waffles (don't lather in butter and syrup though; I use a little peanut butter) Frozen Fruit (frozen fruit is just as nutrious as fresh because it's flash frozen at it's…
  • How long have you been using the protein? I got the samples and was struggling because of the after taste. To me it just wasn't good. The only time I liked them (aftertaste wise) was if I use the brownie in a smoothie with many other flavors. I love the overall nutrition of the shakes, I just struggle with the after taste.…
  • I use my hands but it took we a while to do that because I couldn't get over the feeling at first. Then I just got used to it. But until then I used the egg separator from pampered chef (link below). Mine lasted for 10 years, so good quality. Never had problems with my egg yolk breaking (which seemed to happen to me with…
  • I shop at two different stores and here is what our perimeter foods look like: Hy-Vee Fresh produce Bulk nuts/snack mixes Deli meat counter and artisan cheeses Fresh Bakery Salad bar precut fruit raw seafood raw meat milk (almond and cows) yogurt eggs some refrigerated cheeses frozen vegetables health section: gluten…
  • Nike Training Club app is great and it's free. You tell them how often you workout and they will give you a library of workouts you can choose from. You can choose from different levels, types of workouts, target areas, etc. It will help you through the workouts as well.
  • I didn't run for over 10 years, (except your occasional random short distance example: playing with children) but for real running it had been a while and I, myself, was afraid of what people would think of me at the gym. Although I'm still afraid to run on the treadmill (because I'm afraid I'll fall) I finally realized…

  • apple with peanut butter yogurt dip. DIP: 8 oz container (small) of plain fat free or reduced fat greek yogurt (I don't like greek yogurt but I like this dip), 2 tablespoons of peanut butter (you can substitute PB2), .5 teaspoon of sweetener of choice, 1 tablespoon of cinnamon- I usually divide it by 8 servings. I've seen…
  • I started with the allocated calories MFP put in based on my weight (320 lb female), height (5' 9"), and goals (2 lb lose per week-yes a high goal). But I also adjust my weight as I lose weight. I started out with over 2100 and now am down to 1640. I also only enter my weight every 6 months. I also tend to eat my net…
  • Breakfast burritos: use a low carb or whole wheat tortilla, scrambled egg whites, lean turkey sausage, reduced fat cheese. You can make them the week ahead and freeze them. Just wrap them in a paper towel and then saran wrap. Take the saran wrap off before microwaving. - 6 grams of carbs (dependent on your tortilla) You…
  • Get a blender bottle, it really helps. But when using hot coffee only do a couple of shakes then open it, then close it and do a couple more shakes and repeat a couple of times. This relieves the pressure that builds up from the heat. I used to do this then I started drinking cold coffee. I make my coffee the night before…
