@ Andresbohorqu...looking at your weight loss tracker I take it that you've kept the weight off? I looked into elite pro and it sound like a good option. Unfortunately after doing a little research I found out that it would cause side effects with my medications.:(

Very inspiring video. It really shows what hard work and dedication can do:)

You guys rock!

:flowerforyou: Thanks for all your help! Ok so it's not just me then @Xandralexa This only happens when I do cardio like workouts..ie running, walking, jogging, jump roping etc @got_BluEgo I got some atihistamine yay:D Hopefully that helps till I work myself back into shape

VERY inspirational. Congratulations to everyone who posted their before and after pics!

Amazing job! You look great!

I usually don't let my hair get in the way of my workout. I find that small single braids keep my hair together and neat. If my edges look bad after shrinking up I either flat iron it or brush it down. Also, hair gel works great to make your edges look neater, especially after flat ironing.

Bump! This is a big problem of mine as well. Cant wait to see what others have to say about it.

I think that there's a squash soup you can look up online. I don't know anything about how to prepare it but I've heard it's very good:)

Can I still join? This is the month of back to school and I need every motivation I can get to be in tip-top shape by the time school starts. Luckily I weighed in yesterday so I know my starting weight for August 1st. SW -136 lbs (Monday August 1) Week 1 - xxx lbs (Monday August 8) Week 2 - xxx lbs (Monday August 15) Week…

Ok...slightly confusing, but put yourself in someone else's shoes my MFP peeps. As a learner of a foreign language (French), I can attest to how difficult it is to express oneself. You feel all the emotions build inside you and you want to get them out for others to hear but have to struggle to find the right words. I'm…

Nice topic! For me it's peanut butter sandwich on whole grain bread, watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew melons, any kind of beans, oatmeal, and drinking a glass of a fiber drink like metamusil with my meals when I'm not satisfied.

I was wondering the same thing. Thanks for asking!

Thanks guys! these are all good suggestions and I'm sure they'll help everyone else dealing with the same problem.:smile: I'll keep at it and not give up!

WOW :noway: .I always thought 0 calories=good for you...I guess not. The only 0 calorie drink that is 100% healthy would be water.

Get a couple workout videos:smile: I personally love the 30 Day Shred.

Thanks:smile:

Two people have responded with TOM. What does that stand for? Mine are: 1. Stress 2.Chocolate 3.Cheescake

Great inspiration! Bump

Ice tea (using any flavor tea bag you like) with a slice of lemon:)

I was going to say that maybe you are loosing water weight or muscle mass but you did say you do strength training exercise too...huh? This is interesting. Cant wait to see what other people have to say.

Great recipe! bump

Very useful information. Bump!

Have you tried air popcorn? It tastes very good and it's also very low cal. Plus, you don't have to worry about it going bad. I know you can get an air popcorn machine for cheap at Walmart. Hope that helps!

Thanks everyone for the advice!! Overall what I'm hearing is that I should take my measurements to see if I'm at least loosing inches, add other things to the workout like cardio, and pay closer attention to what I eat. I'm going to try to implement these changes. As far as my diet goes, there is some work to be done since…
