If it is all weight training (not elliptical or treadmill type machines), the trainer I work out with said you can figure between 300 to 500 per hour, depending on how hard you work. I just log it all in one big lump.... strength training I think, and manually enter at least 300. Sometimes you just have to estimate. I…

Nope, cause I never talk about it, I just do it! :) The only people I mention it to are those who I know are also on a healthy eating plan like me.

Log as I go or EVEN BETTER ahead of time if I know what I am having. Logging ahead seems to cement in my mind NOT to go over. Sometimes I logging ahead to help to plan my dinner.... and sometimes what I thought I would eat is too much, so I adjust before I even get tot he table. Now that I have been doing it for four…

I was just stuck for a few weeks. The scale finally moved. I did however take my measurements and realized I had lost inches!! I also started to measure all my food again just to be sure I was not eating too much and thinking it was less. Make sure you log everything. I actually took a week off from exercise, ate lightly,…

Welcome! hope you have success. I know I have more than any other weight loss attempt!! Sending you a friend request.

I never have problems with protein. I eat an (almost) egg every day and greek yogurt is great for protein. Beans are great to add to a salad (black or garbanzo) or a veggie dish. Cottage cheese has more protein than other cheeses. Turkey burgers are good too. Easy to heat up. Hope this helps1

Use gluten free crackers like Blue Diamond Nut crackers or Crunchmaster brand gluten free instead of bread. Top it with sandwich toppings.
-
1 or 2 Eggs with any kind of cheese (or Laughing Cow cheese, only 35 cals). Veggies galore! Tomatoes and spinach, broccoli and mushrooms, peppers and onions... all of the above together!! Sometimes I top with salsa and a bit of sour cream. Okay I am up to 250 calories max. You can add fruit, a side of potatoes, toast, or…
-
Cauliflower "mashed potatoes." Cook and mash and season like mashed potatoes. Can add some cheese or roasted garlic. Cream of cauliflower soup.... Cook in broth (just enough to cover the veggies) with some carrots and/or celery and/or onion. (i use all three). Puree it all in the blender. Add some non-fat condensed milk,…

Get rid of them... FAST!! If you think you might need them, you probably will. If you tell yourself you will not ever need them, you are more likely to stay on track... and if your smaller clothes get tight, take the step right then to lose the extra few. I think if you have big clothes to put on if you gain, it is just…

Love that!

Sounds great! I make a egg casserole that is similar, but this is nice because it will cook faster. I have to try this for my family. Thanks for sharing! And would be yummy with some veggies added in, broccoli, mushrooms or peppers.

:) See you there in our new outfits! LOL!

Wow! Really nice! Great work!

NO! You reap what you sow. Eat healthy and you will reap the rewards. Your body needs good nutrition to function properly.

Freeze it is small packages so you don't have to eat it all now. You can take it out for a quick sandwich, add to an omelet or stir fry, top a pizza with it.
-
Love it!! :)

Well, you have to find a new way of eating that is enjoyable. Don't mourn what you can't eat, celebrate what you CAN! There is so much good healthy food out there and I am enjoying every bite of it! I am finding that i do not miss things as much as I did when I first started, and that I actually am enjoying my healthier…

Way to go by putting those eggs back! That took will power! They might taste good, but they are not worth the guilt and trouble!! I went to buy all the family chocolate. I bought myself 1 little tiny orange chocolate hen. That's it. I will eat it tomorrow and it will be my Easter treat. The 5 kids will get a basket of…
-
I too am a stress eater, and I relate to everything you have said!!! I have been strong this time on MFP. My focus has been on ME and what I need to do to get and stay healthy and at a normal weight. I am not sure what has changed, but I did. I finally said to myself that I HAVE TO PUT MYSELF FIRST for once in my life\.…

LOVE IT! so do all my kids and my hubby too. Can not keep it in the house! Love the Vanilla. I add fresh fruit. The individual fruit ones are the ones my kids love. They will even eat the Mango flavored one. I buy it at BJ's wholesale club (cheapest I have found it.)

Blue Diamond Gluten free Nut crackers. The are delicious, thin and crunchy like chips. (16 crackers per serving.) Hummus, Red Peppers. and all three together are good! LOL I am really loving guacamole too!
-
I drink unsweetened ice tea all day long... lots of it. I brew it with half Red Rose tea and half organic green tea. Add a squirt of lemon from the bottle into the pitcher. Sometimes for variety I add some lime juice instead. I also count my decaf coffee and seltzer water (flavored carbonated water with NO artificial…
-
Great site! Love it. Much better than WW!!
-
Yes I have noticed this too. I go to the gym in the evening, and then come home and realx for a bit before going to bed, but I am usually freezing by the time I am ready for bed. Glad you brought it up, because I was thinking it was just me!
-
I have days where I want to eat... emotional eating, but I try to keep some things on hand that I can eat and eat and not ruin my day. Keep some veggies cut up and leave bowl out on the counter. Add some hummus or lower fat dip. Sometimes I count out a serving of small pretzels or crackers that have a lot per serving, so I…
-
Awesome! Congrats. I am right behind you. Hovering at 200. Waiting for the scale to show a 1 a the beginning!!

Another idea, instead of focusing on how you look undressed, which I still find hard, because I have a way to go too, but I do look at myself dressed up with better fitting clothes, and notice how I am not pulling and tugging my clothes, and how they fit so much better. Try to appreciate the progress you have made.…
