A 100 pound loss is an awesome feat! You can really see the difference and you should be proud of that. Congratulations!

I eat low fat cottage cheese and some melon (mix of watermelon, canteloupe, and honey dew) in the mornings. It keeps me filled up. It is a mix of protein and good carbs.

I was told ginger and fennel can help.

I accepted your friend request. I used this app a long time ago and never tried to get friends or participate in the forums. That was a mistake. This time around I have a lot of MFP friends and everyone has been really great and supportive. It has helped so much. I hope you find that to be true for you too!

You've already received a lot of good advice. Maybe when you go eat at your family's house, you could take a big salad or healthy side dish. You can still have some of your traditional family food (portion control) and then fill up on salad or the healthy side. Also, when you are feeling stressed or sad or any feelings and…

I have 130 pounds to lose. Feel free to add me. MFP has been great. The support is amazing.

I switched to plant based eating in January. It is a big change for me. I would say I'm at about 90% right now. I am learning new things constantly and would love to have more vegan friends on MFP.

I've just experimented with mine...one I have been loving lately is 1 cup strawberries (frozen is ok), 1 banana, 3 or 4 tbsp of oats, 1 or 2 tsp ground flaxseed, 1 cup almond milk You might look on pinterest too for smoothie recipes. I found some on there. I also love adding some lemon slices (rind and all) to some of my…

Chocolate oatmeal - 1/2 cup quick oats (oatmeal), 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa, 1/2 banana sliced (I do a whole banana), 1 tbsp vegan chocolate chips, a dash of cinnamon (optional) cook the oatmeal and then stir in the cocoa, chocolate chips, and banana slices, and sprinkle a dash of cinnamon (again, optional). It is yummy and…

Hi, welcome! I started in January as well and I have a lot of weight to lose. Feel free to add me as a friend. I try to be supportive to all of MFP friends. It sounds like you are off to a good start.

Mine was seeing myself in the background of some photos from my work holiday party. They were awful and showed me how big I really was.

Welcome! I just started in January and I have a lot of weight to lose too. I have found this place to be great and people are very helpful. It helps to have a support system. I sent you a friend request.

Hi, you can add me. I have a lot of weight to lose and started in January. I understand. I don't have a ton of support outside of MFP either but I need to do this for myself. This place has been great and everyone is very supportive. You will want to start by figuring out how many calories you need a day. MFP can help by…

I just switched to plant based eating in January. I made the switch for health reasons. I don't call myself vegan because I am not 100%...I'm about 90%. I tend to fall back into eating dairy and meat sometimes when I am around my family and friends. I'm working on a plan for that. I found a great vegan weekly meal plan…

Yes, I would get a scale so you know exactly how much you are eating. It may surprise you.

Seeing pictures of me in the background of photos taken at a work holiday party. I couldn't believe how huge I looked and how fat rolls were everywhere. I was so embarrassed that these photos were out there for all of my co-workers to see. That is when I said that is it and I have to take control. That was December. I…

Hello. I can tell you what works for me. I have 130 pounds to lose. I tend to binge eat too. I cleaned out all of my cupboards and refrigerator of any trigger foods. Trigger foods for me are mac and cheese, chips, ice cream (even the lower fat stuff...I can't stop at just one serving) or any dessert like items. I don't…
