Starting weight (SW) 274 had started about 4 days before signing up for MFP Current Weight (CW) 252 Goal Weight (GW) 165 What are your successes with food? We have always ate healthy, but have really focused on portion control. I have one single full pop since the first of January, I wasn't feeling well and needed bubbles.…

I tried the Enell bras on, thought I would try to lose a bit more before I invested in one. I go old school, regular underwire bra with straps with no stretch, with a not so great sports bra over top! Yes two bras, but limited bounce, comfortable enough to do zumba and jog in. I learned the trick from a girl that I use to…

My hubby started with me the first of January. I started to watch what I ate and exercising a few days before the new year, but started here right after the new year. He started tracking 5 days after me. I have lost 18 from the start about 12 I think since I started tracking. He has lost 28 pounds on here, and has about…

I am 12 pounds down since I started tracking on here, 16.8 total since I started just before the end of 2012. I tried on clothes today, jeans and pants in particular and could fit in ones that I hadn't been able to before. When I had lost a bunch of weight before it would take a 20 pound loss to go down a size. I noticed…

My NSV is that I have lost 11.25 inches in the first month on MFP. I am so glad I measured when I started this. Just wish I had take a picture the first day. Will have the hubby take a picture tonight so that I have a one month in photo!

Are you eating something for breakfast before you go to work? If no and this is more of a breakfast try a greek yogurt, yoplait has one that is only 100 calories and pair it with a piece of fruit like an apple or a banana. If you are eating before you go to work, and you are after a true "snack" I like the weight watcher…

THis is what I found on the CDC Website:http://www.cdc.gov/nutrition/everyone/basics/protein.html How much protein do I need? Maybe you've wondered how much protein you need each day. In general, it's recommended that 10–35% of your daily calories come from protein. Below are the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) for…

I am also Hypothyroid and am 42. I was diagnosed about 6 years ago. I have been on the same dose of synthroid since I started, the only time they ever test me is my yearly physical. I still have all the symptoms, dry skin, cold all the time, you name it most of the symptoms I have. My husband and I have been trying to get…

After reading your post on the dog food, I carried a 16 pound bag of cat food in and showed my husband... He had just hit the 16 pound mark that day... He had said he just doesn't see where he has lost weight. The bag gave him a visual of how much he had lost, its just that not all of it was lost in the same place.

I have been doing WW for awhile, I never seemed to eat all the points that they said I needed, I have a lot of weight to lose and so my point level was always pretty high. I was sort of like you, looking for something new. I have continued my WW membership, but have been tracking calories and WW points every day for the…

If you are concerned about your budgets shop the sales, especially on meat, Not only at your regular stores, but many Walmart stores have packaged meats marked down as they approach expiration (freeze as soon as you get home). Including Pork shoulder roast recently at $1.56 per pound, as well as turkey italian sausage. I…

Then bake in the oven till cooked and soft. We also like to sautee the sweet potatoe…

Are all of you tracking your activity on MFP? If so it should show you the amount of calories above your normal calories you should be consuming due to your activity level. I find it hard to eat all the additional calories some days, but from most everything i have read on the message boards, you are to eat the exercise…

There is no promise that your chest size and shape will change, but try reading on how different chest, back, shoulder and arm exercises may help. I am thinking about dumbells doing bench presses, incline, flat and decline bench, then throw in some flyies and reverse flyes. Also military press and curls to help strenghten…

Three non scale victories.... I have not had any pop for 29 days, I use to be a four diet pepsi a day drinker. I made it thru my first Zumba class at the YMCA last night. I never stopped, other than to laugh when I totally could not get my feet and arms to go in sync with the instructor. I laughed at myself then got it…

There are several different c25K apps, not all call for the same walk/ run ratios. Check out several. When I first started I couldn't run the full time I was suppose to, I would run as far as I could, then walk, then run again when I stopped sucking wind. Last week my husband and I ran and walked on the track at the YMCA.…

I never cared for sweet potatoes, didn't even like the thanksgiving type with brown sugar and butter. Now I started to saute them with what ever meat I was cooking. I have cooked them with pork and chicken. Its not just a plain sweet potatoe then.

I am 42 and have been riding since Kindergarten. I don't ride as much as I use to, partially due to weight gain and balance and confidence going down the tube. I showed for years. I hope that as my weight goes away my confidence comes back and I feel better and more comfortable in the saddle.

I started MFP, I have tracked everything I have eaten since I started on here. Tomorrow it will be two weeks without a single Diet Pepsi. I always drank lots of water before, now I drink even more. I have focused on having a fruit or vegetbale with every snack and meal. I have even gotten my hubby tracking calories on MFP…

Since the start of the new year I have moved away from the toast and peanut butter that had previously been my norm. I am now having a banana and a piece of string cheese or some pepperoni.

This fall I started to walk/run. I found an app run double, you can get a free two week trial, then I think it is $2 after that. when the weather is warmer I plan on staring back using the app. It tracks your distance by GPS and will tell you when to run and when to walk. I don't think it will work on the treadmill. I…

My non scale victory for the week is that I exercised four times this week at the YMCA. My husband exercised with me. Two days we walked for 30 minutes and then lifted weights for 30 minutes one day and 40 minutes the other time. Two other days are we did our own version of water aerobics and swam some, one day for 30…

I grew up a Hawkeye since I was a huge basketball fan in the 80's and the Hawks rocked back then. Then I ended up going to Iowa State as my family only lives about 40 minutes away from Ames. I will cheer for either until they plya each other then it is Cyclones all the way!

I started running this fall and I am very large chested. I have a not so great sports bra, it didn't work, Regular bra didn't cut it either. But I wasn't ready to drop a load on a sports bra that wouldn't fit in a few months. SO .... I used my not so great sports bra over my regular bra. Yes I wore two bras!! I know people…

I try to plan dinner meals for my husbanc and I so as to have leftovers for the next day.It may not be a normal serving size but I add lettuce and carrots and maybe a piece of low fat string cheese. I do keep a few of the Weight Watcher smart one meals on hand for days when I either have no leftovers or I am running behind…

As a grade schooler I was always taller than the other kids and a little bigger, but not unhealthy heavy. I was in sports from 5th grade on. I played sports in high school and would have been considered fit at that point, but was never the fastest in sprints but I was there doing it. In college I put some on, but was about…

I am a Weight Watchers member. I have not in the past tracked as well as I should. I have now redevoted myself to tracking online. I do go to the meetings and find a great deal of support in the meetings, I started on here after hearing a great deal about it on some facebook pages I follow who use it. So far I have tracked…

When I lost 95 pounds about ten years ago mine shrunk. I don't exactly remember where I started, guessing somewhere around 42ddd and went down to a 36c. However I was also lifting weights. I did full circuit free weights every other day at home. I always included Bench press with either dumbells or barbell. I also did…

My biggest struggle will be at work! They are all very food focused! I work with 8 women, no men. Every Holiday /Birthday is a reason for food day. I have walked past a plate of Peanut clusters for a week! YEAH ME. Also I have kicked 4 a day Diet Pepsi habit.
