There are a couple of places that make the mini pies - that you can buy. I just cut mine into more pieces, eat a piece then bring the rest to work. I can get my fix, but still fit in my jeans.

All these numbers are just guides. You obviously do not fit in the formula - DO NOT GET DISCOURAGED! I am 5'4" and 193.5 lbs. I am obese, but as my weight goes down and my clothes fit looser I also see my BMI go down and am moving closer to the I'm just fat range. It is all ok, just be healthy and feel good in your skin!

That is Fantastic. Keep going - It will come

I think it might be the amount of acid involved. Seriously - try making sure you have food in your stomach prior to drinking anything that is of high acid content

I am not, nor ever have been a coffee drinker - which I find unfair because it has no calories and Hot Chocolate has many! However, I know the alternatives out there are things like teas - regular and herbals, water, and those crystal light stuff if you want to stay on the healthy side. Chai also seems to be very very…

And try to remember, The scale is a fickle friend. Only visit once a week and you can be best buds, but daily visits bring remorse!

1. Do you experience a lot of stress-producing thoughts when attempting to sleep, such as things to do or worrisome thoughts, that prevents you from falling asleep quicker? _X_Yes __No 2. On an average night, how easy is it to fall asleep? _X_Pretty easy __ Not easy 3. About how many hours of sleep do you get each night?…

Managed to get 4 miles in tonight. Yay

I want in please. I will catch up but will cut this week down a little cause it is already Thursday! Do you think you should start a group? That way we can log in specifically to that and not have to search for this post regularly. What do you think?

Friend me - I have some great tips to get thru the holidays. We are all on this journey together.:tongue:

All of the above!! Plus, ask him if he wants you to make his lunch and maybe, make a list of things he wants or a weekly menu. All the solutions are simple - however the result of not communicating is ire and frustration. Talk to him - and life is good!

Motivated to join you! Is there anything special to do, or just fill out exercise log??

Wow, I so can relate and I have come up with a variety of strategies to get me thru. First, when everyone else gets a dinner plate (10-12 inches) I set myself a salad plate (8-9 inches) Even if I fill it, I am not overindulging cause it is less than I usually have when I weigh and measure everything. Second - Since I am…

Ok Girlfriend - when you are here, you are not alone! Friend some of us who have responded. Look at the open diaries. You can eat ANYTHING you and your family want - you just need to count/log it. There are GREAT ways to eat tasty and still lose weight. Just ask your MFP friends!

This is about a lifestyle change. Preparation is key. You must get breaks - 10 - 15 minutes. Just prepare yourself even a sandwich and a piece of fruit. That takes 5 minutes to eat. Hydrate yourself regularly and eat your large meal BEFORE you go to work. Then you get to burn it off helping others. There are also lots of…

Seriously mixed messages on this. The science says that the calories that you are basically assigned are enough to lose about one pound a week. When you exercise, you use more energy therefore your body needs more fuel - hence eating those calories will not hurt you. However if you don't eat those calories you will lose…

Well Done. How long have you been working at this? You are an inspiration to others!

Have you ever heard the nursery rhyme song: Happiness runs in a circular motion, love is but a litle boat upon the sea, everybody needs a little sunshine everyday, you can have it all if you let yourself see! You have seen the pattern, now steer your boat. Without ups and downs we would not be human, and without others we…

was on LA weight loss for years and lost a lot of weight. Any good weight loss plan does do the same thing although they go about it different ways - with LA they count how many carbs, proteins, veggies, fruits etc. They have an approximate amount you can have which has an approximate range for your calorie intake. Like…

Congrats. It is a HUGE milestone - especially since it was one of your goals! You have done a fantastic job, look great. Now the hard part - maintain. Best of luck to you!

Thank you! I was having some trouble getting myself remotivated. You sent me the push I needed. Thank You!

Here are a few things- I agree about going and checking out the Y's daycare. It will do you AND your kids well to get out. Kids need to be socialized, BUT so do you. If you make an effort and spend the money, chances are you will exercise more consistently. However, if money is an issue, then doyour exercising at home and…

There is no special formula for motivation - you eed to find out what works for you. I finally said enough - I couldn't/wouldn't be fat the rest of my life. I did not want to be an embarrrassment to my son and I want to be healthy to play with the grandchidren I hope to have someday. The best thing I did was join a gym and…

There are some other things you can do also. Change up your cardio for some weight training - ie, one or two of those days when you are sweating it out on the elliptical swap it for multiple sets with some weights, or circuit machines. Your body should be tired when you are done, but not achy til the next day. DO NOT WORK…

Congratulations - you have moved to the next phase of weight loss. Give yourself another week then you should start to see your weight go down again. I try to eat half my workout calories - that keeps me maintaining when I change my routine - but an FYI is that muscle weighs significantly more than fat so you are seriously…

I use fiber daily per my doctor, but you HAVE to take it with enough water to flush it, and you should not have more than 2 servings a day. You may need to try a stool softener and relaxer -correctol for women or ducolox. Good Luck

If I like it, I add it to my salad - everything from garbanzo and black beans to cheddar pretzel bits from snyders. I also sometimes use salsa instead of salad dressing - so much fewer calories. Just add wha youlike. A spoonful of peas and corn, turkey bacon crumbled. The neat thing is, if you like it, do it. And…

Just an absolute fact - if you don't eat within the first hour of waking up your metabolism is on slow motion all day. that 1/2 banana will make all the difference in the world, or try a cereal bar. Just get 100 good calories in you before you go and hydrate before during and after. Good luck!

So incredibly excited for you. You desrve to go all the way - now that your saddle intervals are better!

My other half just made some incredible Strawberry jam with this stuff that mixed with Splenda. Only 5 calories a serving and it tasted freakin fabulous. We had to buy the bell jars, but now they make them out of plastic so they were not real expensive and it did not ruin my day to eat it. Yummy. It is the regular canning…
