You might need to give it more than a month, and you might have to adjust along the way. I started out at a very big deficit (1200 net) and lost quite a bit. But I felt hungry ALL the time, and hit a dead end after 50 lbs. After reading up on BMR and TDEE, I found that I should have been eating 1900 for my activity level…

1 cup Silk (any flavor), 1 scoop chocolate protein powder, 1 small banana, 1/4-1/2 cup frozen blueberries and/or mixed berries. Blend very well. I use a magic bullet, so this is only one serving, usually for breakfast. The frozen berries make it thick.

I have been trying to be a quitter for a few weeks now. I'm fine at home, but once I get to work the urge hits. I started Couch to 5K and found that breathing is much more important than smoking. I have quit in the past, so I know I can do it, it's just getting past that first month or so. It sucks to work right next to a…

I decided to try this since I ran out of creamer. I used Torani sugar free caramel instead of vanilla and Silk Light instead of milk. OMG! It was so good and only 23 calories per tablespoon! Thank you for this recipe!

I use Sugar-free creamers usually. I have to have some kind of milkiness in my coffee.

It may be different for women. I had lost 60 lbs and made a comment around my bosses' boss. I stated that I lost that much and he said, "Was it on purpose?" Like I had cancer and lost weight because I was on chemo or something. Months later, I'm still not sure what he meant by that. So I've dropped about 70 lbs now and…

I absolutely rely on my scale. I weigh most things I eat. I measured a cup of Silk and weighed it to know how many grams a cup was, so I use that weight every time (give or take a couple of grams) instead of a measuring cup. Most packages are in grams, so I use that the most. I buy big packages of meat and weigh out…

A couple of months ago I got stuck at a plateau and didn't move for a few weeks. I did some research and found that after some weight loss and increase of exercise, I was eating TOO FEW calories to lose weight. It's all about the net calories. I increased my calorie intake while keeping my exercise the same and started…

I've had a referral sitting in my purse for over a month now. I've been thinking- What's the point? Last physical therapist I went to (for my knees) they did biofeedback, which did NOTHING for relief. The referral came from a spinal doctor, who diagnosed kyphoscoliosis, 50 degrees. I went because my hips have been hurting…

Congratulations! I remember how excited I was when I bought my first size 14 since high school (2 months ago). I had to buy a whole new wardrobe, but it was worth it. It just gets better from here!

I use Fitbit Flex. I like it because most of my exercise is walking my dog, for about an hour (or more) most days. I don't have to log it into MFP because it syncs automatically. That way I only have to log other exercises that I do. You can program in your stride and it lets you know how many miles you get in each day. I…

I went to a local amusement park and was able to ride a wooden roller coaster without it killing my hips and butt! Last time I rode it I had bruises from the tightness of the seat. Not this time! I actually slid around a bit in the seat. Also, for the first time in my life I tubed down a water slide. I've always had a…

So did I! I definitely need help with motivation too.

Eat something healthy for dinner, then eat dessert. My favorite- blend a cup of Silk (or milk), a banana, a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa and ice. It's like ice cream without the guilt. For extra protein and fat (as well as calories) you can add peanut butter.
