Amazing job!

How about the woman doing her body weight? I saw one of the women's fitness competitions and that is what they were doing, seeing who could bench their body weight the most times. The winner was able to bench her body weight 44 times

I like information and keep it in perspective. Do whatever suits you" I also like information and the more, the better

I weigh myself twice a day, once in the morning after doing bathroom duties, and then right before I go to bed. I don't stress over the scale going up and down. To me, it's like the stock market...it has it's ups and downs as well. I do want to see the scale weight trending down though. But don't just use the scale as your…

I weigh myself twice a day, everyday. First thing in the morning before I've had anything to eat or drink, and then before I go to bed. I know that if you're staying hungry, try increasing your vegetable intake. Veggies are low calorie for the most part, are filling, have fiber, and can help curb your appetite. At least it…

Welcome April. You can add me as a friend if you'd like. Best of success

Eating "clean" will help get results faster, but remember to take a cheat meal once a week and get all of those cravings out.

6 oz broiled tilapia, small baked sweet potato (no butter), or 3/4 cup of brown rice, sliced tomatoes and cucumbers, large glass of water or unsweet tea. Fast, easy, and healthy

I will often eat Fage 0% Fat Greek Yogurt and a piece of fruit. It's around 250 calories, has plenty of protein, and is fast and easy. Another thing you could do is to cook your eggs in advance and freeze them in individual zip locks. Take one out in the morning and zap it, eat a multigrain light English Muffin along with…

Are the Omni Drops really Super Glue and they glue your mouth shut so you can't eat...lol

I would recommend eating 5 times a day, with each meal having a range of 300-350 calories. Eat clean foods. Don't skip meals. I also recommend drinking 2 cups of water with each meal. Allow yourself a cheat meal once a week but don't go crazy with it. I would increase my exercise to 4-5 times per week. Even something as…

Cortney, one thing that I found that has helped me is that I eat 5 times a day. Each of my meals are in the 250-300 calorie range. Any example would be plain 0% fat Greek yogurt (100 calories) and a piece of fruit (approximately 100 calories) and a few roasted almonds (approximately 50 calories). By eating small meals…

Portion sizes may need to be looked at. If you're not accurately logging in your food, you may be deceiving yourself as to the number of calories you are truly consuming. Drink lots of water, do your exercises, and be patient. Results will come.

No, this isn't healthy at all. Complex carbs provide the energy we need to do our daily functions, provide fiber that helps us feel full, and aids in digestion. If you'll look at the recommendations for carbs, protein, fat, sugars, sodium, etc that MFP will give you once you key in your information such as weight, height,…

Having someone take the journey with you is a huge help. You can be held accountable by each other. You both understand how difficult it can be at times to find the time to work out, plan meals, etc and be each other's cheerleader if discouragement sets in. Only someone going through the process themselves can truly…

A friend of mine says that an excuse is the skin of reason, stuffed with a lie. We all have excuses we can use, we can try and reason our bad choices but they may not be true. I have found that making my workouts and sticking to my meal plans a priority has really made a difference. I log in all my food, water intake, and…

Hello to all who have just started. I am back after a long lay off. Had several trips abroad that got me off track, but I'm back in the U.S. for hopefully awhile. I've been seeing almost immediate results and know that i can achieve my goals. Best of success to all!

I've used it n the past as wel I've started back up this month and in the last 3 weeks I'm down 11.5 lbs. I need to lose another 20-25 lbs ad this calorie counter does help kee me on track. best of sucess

I plan a meal that may be higher in calories and I cut back a little on the days prior to it so that it almost balances out. It's not what you do every now and then, like having a cheat meal, that will make a difference, it's what you do consistently that will. So if for 6 days you eat clean and within you calorie range,…

It's never too late to start over. There is a Japanese proverb that says"Fall down seven times, stand up eight". You can do this!

Congratulations on deciding to take control of your health. Diabetes is a terrible disease and exercise and good nutrition is one way to help combat it. Best of success to you!

I agree that any movement is better than no movement. A bad workout is much better than no workout. I also agree that we need to make wise food choices.

I know that stress produces corisol, which can help you gain weight. I also know that I did a very successful weight loss program a few years back that I will emulate again. I tried to drink one gallon of water a day, ate 6 small, healthy meals, worked out with weights 3 days a week, and the other days I walked, biked, or…
