http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIwrV5e6fMY I think you hit return afterwards, but who knows, hope this works.

Congratulations! Way to stick with it. :flowerforyou:

I love before-after photos! Thanks and congratulations!

Sounds great! I went to a pot luck and avoided most of the desserts - there were LOTS! Even brought fruit and Walden Farms no-calorie chocolate dip. Though I did eat BBQ jalapeno chips... :-( But I didn't stuff myself. Just a suggestion - when you have a cold/stuffy nose, I heard it is good for everyone to avoid dairy -…

Welcome! I agree that journalling is great - I don't do it enough, but find that it can be a great substitute for snacking! Keeps my mind and hands busy. I have found this site to be wonderful. Where before I would have just given up because I had a bad day, this site keeps me going. Slow, but sure... How's the weather in…

Well, I don't know about never eating potatoes again!! I think you can have stuff in moderation. Try making "dirty mashed potatoes" by leaving the skins on, and put in skim milk and less butter. But I don't know about diabetes and potatoes.... Also, there is a recipe (I think it started with the south beach diet) where you…

Thanks, and Back At'Cha! You are doing great on your weight loss, keep it up!

My friend does P90X and said that the instructions say you may not lose weight because you are building muscle.

Wow, sounds like you are doing everything right! I don't know what to tell you, except the thyroid. I know that since I hit menopause, it is harder for me to lose. Anyway, I was frustrated until this week because I started in early January, lost 6.5, then GAINED 3! Stayed even for a couple/three weeks, then this week lost…

I found it under "bicycling, stationary". Wow, 45 minutes! Enjoy!:happy:

Very funny! Sounds like fun, I will have to find some.... :wink:

Did you have a link or something to paste?

Also, here's a link to some info that helped me. :smile: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/23912-links-in-mfp-you-want-to-read-again-and-again Almost forgot to paste in the link! I hate when that happens.

Hi, there are some Message Boards with groups where you can weigh in weekly, etc. I have created a group through work where we weigh in weekly. And, here's a link that has helped me. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/23912-links-in-mfp-you-want-to-read-again-and-again BTW, I used to live in Cincinnati, now live in…

Go, Granny, Go! I only called you that because you did... I think you are an inspiration. I have only been on a month, struggling a little the last few days, but trying to "stay on the horse". Since I have been on the site, I have been exercising more and feeling better!

I really like this dressing, a local restaurant started making it. It is greek but is sweet, has no cheese. Yummy, only 2 grams of fat per 2 tbs dressing. Everyone at work loves it too. And you can pronounce all of the ingredients - there are only 6 or so. It does have sugar (not high fructose corn syrup). You can check…

Hi, I think I saw another post about this - if it is the same thing, many complained about the smell. Do you have to rinse them? I've been thinking about that, lately it is very easy for me to go over, and that would help. I need a little encouragement on the scale, I lost real fast then put a few pounds back on. I ordered…

I am sometimes off a little bit, not sure that a hundred or two calories will hurt one. But I would think that 6 or 7 hundred will make a difference. One thing I did was use the calories it says on my bike, the calories listed for a stationary bike were way higher. I also eat nuts as snacks and do more snacking. I saw on…

Welcome, I started around Jan 4, it seems to be a great help for me. Helps me to "get back on the wagon". Here are some posts that are helpful to me:: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/23912-links-in-mfp-you-want-to-read-again-and-again

Wow, you have been through a lot! I found through this site that I was eating very healthy in the morning and lunch, then coming home and eating too much. I think my body was getting confused. Anyway, I am eating more now, meeting my calorie goal most of the time, and losing weight. I gained back a couple of pounds…

I do similar things. It is hard for me to "stick to" anything on a regular basis - often sabotage myself re: weight, many other things. That's why, in the past, I have gone to Weight Watchers or something that reinforces me. Anyway, I did this recently where I had such bad days that I didn't log my food at all... But the…

Spelling and grammar have been my pet peeves also. But now that I am over 50, I have found myself typing the wrong word on homonyms - for example, typing their instead of there. AAACCCKKK! Not me! I am trying to accept this in myself, maybe I am getting paid back for all the smirking and looking askance when others use the…

Welcome. I have been on since Jan 4 I think, just put back on a couple of pounds, hoping it is from salty food.... II don't always get my stuff logged, but it has helped me to get back "on the horse" and try again. I have to remember that I don't have to be perfect. I have found these posts helpful. Good luck! :smile:…

Here's a message board that lists other postings that are very helpful, including eating your exercise calories. I find that the extra calories lets me think I am not deprived. I don't always eat all of them, but try to eat a good part of them. You can plan ahead eat some of the calories, but then you better exercise.…

I am torn. I have been on a plateau before even when doing "all the right things". She did lose a lot the first week. I don't understand them getting so upset at Bob and Jillian if they were throwing the weigh-in. Maybe she just wasn't eating enough. If they were cheating, then why not have him not lose also.... Maybe I am…

Hi, I have only been a member this month and have lost with this plan. I wasn't perfect - far from it! But this site kept me coming back. For me, I think the secret will be to lose it slowly this time. I have lost before and gained it back. That's why I didn't just go back to Weight Watchers. I have to say that I am not…

I love PB also. Can't buy it and have it around. It isn't there for long! One thing I have done recently is to get almond butter. It satisfies the craving, but is a little grainier - I use less and don't go way over on it. Also, it's not cheap, so that helps to reduce the amount also. I buy the almond butter at the health…

Sorry I labeled Banks1850 incorrectly. I tried to look up his profile, but as you mentioned, he has a new name and has closed the old one. He did mention coaching in one of his posts. I will try to be more careful about that. Thanks for the clarification. Still think it is good stuff. :smile:

I have determined that I was not eating enough throughout the day. My boyfriend even commented - "you don't eat that much!". It can be tough to eat the calories, but plan out your meals. A good breakfast is one way. Prevention.com now has 400 calorie meals on their site too. I have to say that I am eating more and losing…

Bumping! For those that don't know what Bumping is, it is to bring the topic to the current list. :happy:
