My health care provider and dietician do not want me to eat back my exercise calories, and I have lost 85 pounds in less than 8 months, so I really don't think you have to follow the exact program that mfp designs for you. I am healthier than I've been in years, I have more energy, and I am having a very successful weight…

bump for later, thanks for the idea.

Funny, I was going to say he sounds like my 7 year old when he is throwing a tantrum... Except my 7 year old could type out a better sentence with properly spelled words, so I'm going to guess he's in kindergarten. OP, You have gotten a lot of great advice, but all you want to do is kick and scream until you get the answer…

I made pumpkin muffins that were delicious! One box of Classic White Cake Mix and one large can of pumpkin pie filling. Mix the two together, do not add the egg, oil, or anything the cake mix calls for, just the dry mix and the pumpkin. Makes 18-24 muffins.

You look great! Even your glasses are getting too big for your face! I know that my glasses fall off of me now. It's always nice when you can give your clothes to people in need that will appreciate them! Great job on hitting Onederland. I just recently hit it myself so I know how happy you must feel.

I donated them to local pantries that give the clothes away to people in need. I don't want them going to trash, and I don't want someone to have to pay for them. I know what it's like to be down and out and in need of things beyond my reach, so I want to give to those that are in that place. Most of the clothes in my…

^^THIS! We can "lead the horse to water, but cannot make it drink." We can give you all the advice and encouragement until we are out of breath, but unless you REALLY want to change, you won't. Find the reasons why you NEED to change, and the reasons you WANT to change, and weigh out your pros and cons. Find the motivation…

Most restaurants have their nutrition information on their websites, and a lot of it is already in the MFP database. I have no problem asking someone what is in the food they are offering me, and I have no problem declining foods that I know I can't eat because of it's caloric intake. But, everyone knows that I eat low…

When I started 6 and 1/2 months ago, I had 120 to lose. Today, I have 41 pounds left to lose. Your goals are possible! Each and every one of you that has a large goal (as long as you don't try to lose it too fast, or in an unhealthy way) are very capable of reaching them! You can add me as a friend if you'd like, although…

^^THIS.

I believe that weight is a factor in not only getting pregnant, but having a healthy pregnancy. I was slightly overweight when I got pregnant with my son, and other than a few little complications during the pregnancy, everything went fairly well and I have a healthy 7 year old. But, I got pregnant twice after that, and…

Part of my motivation came from when I went in to get a full physical with lab work. When they told me that at 28 years old, I have bad cholesterol, and I was on the verge of being diabetic. The other part of my motivation was knowing that I have a child that looks up to me and I want him to be healthy. Also, I couldn't…

You burn calories just breathing and doing every day activities. You do not want to burn everything you eat because then you will be starving. You will lose weight just eating 1500 calories, not even exercising. The exercising is going to help you lose faster and tone up, but you do not need to burn 1500 a day.

Because his father chooses not to be a part of his life. Because his father chose drugs and crime over his child. Because his father decided that spending time in the state pen is more important, and they don't let children have weekend overnight visits in prison. I've tried, I'd gladly let him 50/50 if he thought his…

With a comment like the one she made, I'm going to assume that he probably wants to leave her but knows he'd never see his kid again, so he stays and puts up with a miserable person just to be a part of his child's life. I am a single mom who has done everything possible to try to get my sons father to play an active roll…

bump to try

bump.... anybody here at all do yoga?

First of all, you look absolutely fantastic!!! Second, I have naturally curly (very tight curls to boot) hair, and I understand the want for a new look, and I understand when everyone says they miss your curls and love them and think you should leave them alone.... But, since I know what it's like, I can say: Do what makes…

I've been actively using it since February to keep track of the calories I eat, and I am down 75 pounds in 6 months. :)
-
I'm pretty sure the whole point is that we all have our reasons as to why we decided to change our lives. How can you disagree with that? I did this for several reasons, and he has listed a few of them. I am doing this so that I can play with my kid and be healthy for him, so that I have more energy to get things done,…

If I can do it, you can do it. If you choose to eat diet products, there is nothing wrong with that. You need to figure out what your body needs and stick to it. It may take closer to a month before you are seeing results, but KEEP at it. Measure your food, calculate EVERYTHING you eat, stay within your calorie range, and…

^ THIS! I fell in love with a man that is 100+ pounds over weight, and I do not see him as anything other than a wonderful person whom I love being around. You're making your issue other peoples issue, and it really doesn't need to be.

As a working single mom, I know what it's like to need supporters! You can add me if you'd like. I try to be supportive and keep in touch with my friends, and I log consistently!
-
The way I always see is that you should eat TDEE- 20%. Look for the road map that people often get referred to, that should help you figure out what you're supposed to eat. I eat based on what my dietician and my doctor have planned for me, so I am of no help there.

If you search through the topics, there was one yesterday about loose skin. You should be able to find the answers (and sarcasm) there. I personally am not worried about it, because I'd rather be healthy with loose skin than unhealthy and fat. :)

I really wanted to pull the "that's what he said" card here, I tried to resist, and then you giggled. So, That's what he said!
-
Two phrases come to mind. "Slow and steady wins the race" "Eat less, move more" Those 2 things have gotten me through!
-
I can't tell you what will work for you, but I can tell you what's been working for me. I eat a lot of veggies and lean meats (chicken, turkey and fish) and I eat brown rice, whole wheat and whole grain breads and pastas, and limit sweets and junk food. You will have to figure out your calorie goal based on you, as what I…

When I am old, I'm not going to give a snot what my tattoos look like. I love them, they all have meaning to me, and I do not consider my tattoo artist brother to be arrogant for putting things on my body that I ask for. My mom is older than you and has more tattoos than I do, frequently adding to her beautiful…
