These are so awesome! I bought a bunch of stuff. I actually bought some raw veggies (broccoli, carrots, cucumber) but did not buy fruit. I have 2 bags of apples I have yet to use, and I need to use before they go bad...if they haven't already. I love egg whites more than I do regular eggs. The smell makes me sick and they…

I made Taco Cups using wonton wrappers, ground turkey, and taco seasoning. Take two wrappers and line them up criss crossing each other and put the in a greased muffin tin. Put the cooked taco meat in the cup and bake at 450 until the edges of the wontons get a nice golden color (about 5 minutes). Then take out and dress…

Awesome story, and I know you can do this! I added you. The more friends you have, the more you feel accountable for your actions especially when you see others around you doing great, it makes you want to do better! Good luck and you got this!!!!

Hello my name is Amy, and I'm a cheesaholic. I have cut back TONS on it though. Before I started back on this, my lasagna was T-TOALLY LOADED WITH CHEESE. Like, it was unreal and so good. I miss it, but I haven't found a way to make it good without the cheese loaded in it and the sauce and all that. But I love cheese. I…

Wow. JUST WOW.

Lord girl. I'm 25 and weigh 227-9 I'm fluctuating right now lol. But I started out at 246. It's hard, I understand. I have a disability and low income so I definitely understand the hard parts. I don't work out a whole lot, but I try to stick with at least every other day doing this and that on youtube. My favorite is low…

I practically LIVE on MFP now. I log everything and motivate others. It motivates me to do better as well.

I've had to go on a liquid diet for 4 days before for a test. It was pure misery. I snuck a slice of pickle in. lol. It was not fun unless you like peeing out of your *kitten*. lol. Nasty, but that's what you're lookin at if you do all liquid, and if you add protein in the mix, No. Just no. Don't do it. I was sick on…

January 9th 2013 I tried on a pair of jeans that not even a week before I could fit into and those were my size 20 jeans which I had to buy after my pregnancy and gained 20lbs. I couldn't fit them hardly and I weighed myself and came in at 246. I always told myself while watching all these very obese people who could…

Your measuring spoon doesn't measure by the actual weight of, so you're getting more than you want. BUT, going a little over like that isn't going to break you. It's more annoying than anything. You could live your life measuring every little thing you put in your mouth, or just do it when times feel like you REALLY need…

I like the healthy choice meals and I don't normally have issues with Sodium a whole lot, but I used to when I was eating garbage. Sodium causes you to retain fluid, so therefor your scale is going to read higher numbers--for those who are sensitive about what the scale says! But what I always do, because those meals are…

Wow, so dead!

Just stick with it and calorie jumping should help you. It tricks your body. See, after you stick with the same thing all the time your body gets used to it and starts to drag butt. Kind of like how your mind does too after a while. So you gotta trick it. Jump up the cals, bring them back down, and jump them up again and…

I just ate whatever I wanted, mostly I ate potatoes. LOTS of potatoes. I didn't gain a thing except how much the baby weighed. Afterwards, I dropped more weight but when I quit bf'ing I gained eh, 20lbs! But talk with your OB. He or she will tell you what is a healthy way to not gain a lot of weight, and keep the baby…

I'd like to lose at least 20-25lbs by July. But hey, if my pants can fit and still be hefty, then fine by me. Means I'm gaining muscle and losing fat mass! :) Would love to lose a few inches by then as well!
-
Just jump in head first. Don't think about it. Just do it. The more you think about it, the less likely you are to get back in it. So just dive in and start back. Mind of matter.
-
I go by calories, but try my best to stay within my macros as well. It's okay to go over a little, but I wouldn't over do it. Calories are important for weight loss.

I weigh 229.2lbs. I started out at 246 last year and lost 31lbs just by eating right and the exercises I did low impact because I have a disability and bad balance. So all this fast stuff and hardcore workout is near impossible for me right now still. lol. Start out doing beginner yoga and beginner pilates. Trust me, it…

NO WONDER YOU DON'T HAVE TIME! YOU GOT 4 KIDS! lol. I don't have time with even one kid, but you know, I make it work. He gets under foot a lot, but he's funny! When I'm on the ball exercising, he pushes my butt and tries to make me fall over haha. But you can do it! Before you lay down in the bed. Do your exercises no…

YOU CAN DO IT! You just HAVE to stick with it! I left in April, and this just goes to show you how you can achieve and also fail at. Don't let yourself fail. I started out at 246lbs. Did mfp for 3-4 months and lost 31lbs! NOW, I quit in April and gained 15 of those lbs BACK in just 8 months! Just goes to show, you don't…

WOW! You look fantastic! Congrats!

Sodium can be hard to deal with. Especially since we both like hot things, and we all knows most spicy and hot things have loads of sodium in it! It's okay in moderation and when the serving size says 2 tablespoons, YOU BEST EAT 2 TABLESPOONS cause if not, you're gonna be doubling up on everything else as well as sodium.…

I was eating at 1700 midway through last year, and I hit the dreaded plateau and quit. I'm starting out at 1400 because I am 225lbs and 5'1 frame plus I can't do the vigorous exercises like everyone else(I have a disability), so I make up for that with the lower cal intake and work my way up from here. :)
-
I don't eat my calories back unless I'm going to go over anyway. 1200 is low for anyone, so bump it up a bit. I'm at 1400 right now. I get satisfied and don't starve. I was eating at 1200 last year and got really sick. REALLY sick with it. So it may work for some, but not me. Eat your cals back if you're hungry or if you…

I've never heard of cashew butter! I love cashews so it must be good! Haha. My grocery store does not have a good selection of low sodium soups or anything low sodium really. lol. Thanks for the list!
