As much as I might not feel like it at the time I try to continue working out because exercise actually helps with the symptoms.

I am 5'1" and currently 149lbs. I have a small frame, before getting pregnant with my 4th child I was 105lbs. I carry most of my weight in my legs and behind but am also carrying some in my belly, back and arms. I started out at 154lbs and my first goal weight is 144 by Feb. (I feel like I will def. lose more by then but…

ME ME ME!! My scale reads 150.9lbs but I went to the Dr. today and their scale reads 153lbs. I am going to go by my scale since it is easier to keep track of weight loss or gain.

Getting ready to do the 30 day right now:) I'll join!!

I love fresh fruits. I usually buy 2 of the containers they sell at our commissary of already cut up/mixed fresh fruit. It has strawberries, cantalope, honey dew, pineapple and grapes. Raw veggies like carrots, broccoli, celery, bell peppers Steamed veggies I love love love nuts but I can not and probably never will be…

Hmmm, I'm thinking that I might have this problem. The foods I go nuts over though aren't cookies and icecream. Mine are things like bacon, any type of potato.....pastas and Mt Dew!! My kids had friends spend the night last night so I got up and made a huge breakfast of bacon, eggs and biscuts and gravy. It kills me when I…

Right now I am doing the Kellog's Challenge. Breakfast: 3/4 cup Kellog's Special K Vanilla Almond Cereal Coffee w 1tbs Coffee Mates French Vanilla Creamer 2tsp sugar Fruit Lunch: Kellog's Protein Shake French Silk Fruit and veggies raw Dinner: Healthy Choice Zesty Rotini and Marinara Sauce Mixed green salad with added baby…

The advice that I got was to weigh yourself at the same time everyday. The best time to weigh yourself is first thing in the morning after you go to the bathroom. Weigh yourself in the same clothes. I prefer to do it in just my undies and bra. Also, don't do it after a workout because you probably were drinking water and…

Great idea thanks!!

I keep hearing people talk bad about the Taco Bell Fresco items but when I was out with my husband today that is where we stopped for lunch. I had a Chicken Supreme Burrito Fresco style and it was only 330 calories. Plus, it filled me up and tasted really good. Most of the other items on there were also 330 calories but…

Yes food is energy and nourishment but come on, every once in awhile there is nothing wrong with eating something because it tastes good. All things in moderation, yes?

Like someone else said, I don't consider it cheating I consider it treating. And yes, I will treat myself every once in awhile. That doesn't mean every week or every other week but once in awhile. For instance, we live in Germany right now and I am missing some of the resteraunts back in the States. Ramstein has a Chili's…

I love the treadmill! I wish that I h at home I would use it all of the time. I have a Gazelle and use it while watching whatever TV show I'm into. My goal is to use it the entire time the show is on. If I need a break I will do it during the commercials and get a drink of water. So, my suggestion would be to put a TV in…

- Whole Wheat Pita Bread - Salad Mix - Shredded Cheese - 60 calorie Cherry Essence Prunes (they really are yummy!) - Tilapia - Apples - Special K Vanilla and Almonds - Tuna to make tuna salad with - 100 calorie Right Bites Chocolate Chip cookies - Bird's Eye Steamfresh Vegetable (makes 3 cups and I eat as a snack…

LOL I do the same thing!! I also do it with shopping. I will walk around the grocery store or even sometimes a department store and put things in my cart. By the time I make it to the register though I have put 95% of it back. I do this mostly if I have not made a list of what I need lol.

I just started this week and only bought a scale a few days ago. I swear when there is a scale in the house I feel like I live on it. I have tried really hard not to that this week. I weigh myself every morning when I get up but have decided to only record on MFP once a week on Fridays.

Well, I skipped breakfast. I don't know why I just was not hungry this morning. Lunch: 1/2 whole wheat pita bread filled with 1 pouch Bumble Bee Premium Tuna mixed with 2 tbs. Miracle Whip, hot green tea mixed with 1 tsp. sugar Snack: Bird's Eye Steamfresh frozen veggies (broccoli, carrots, sugar snap peas & water…

I hate water. Even the flavored waters, I hate. I have found though that I can drink it more if it is super cold and it can't be tap water. So, I bought a PUR water filter that goes on the faucet. I also got a water bottle that holds 32oz . I fill up my water bottle at night before I go to bed with the filtered water and…

I just started. However yesterday and today I logged as I ate or drank. But tonight I sat down and planned out my meals and drinks so I knew exactly what I could have. The first day I did ok but today logging as I went was awful! I went way over on my carbs and fats even though I had plenty of calories left over. So, since…

I love eggs but had cut them out of breakfast because I was trying the Special K Challenge. I think that I will go back to the eggs though because I am really low in protein. Thanks:)

Great ideas!! I will definitely be adding these to my meals. I've been wanting to try couscous for awhile now but have never made it. I will pick some up the next time I am out:)

I'm having the same problem. I was only watching the calories until today when I noticed some of my daily totals were red. I have plenty of calories left but am already over on my carbs and fat and still need protein. However I made the mistake of eating some yellow rice today and drinking a Mt Dew. The carbs from those…

I guess that makes sense. And that was what I was using it for too...kinda a starting point. I guess that it is good I could eat different cereals so I don't get burned out. Though I really do like the vanilla almond Special K. How long did it take you to lose the 10lbs?

Ugh. Well, crap. I just bought 2 boxes to try the Special K Challenge. I love the Vanilla Almond:) This ticks me off, I swear everything is just a gimmik to get you to buy their crap. Thanks for the post though!! It will definitely make compare nutrition labels from now on that is for sure!

I love coffee too and use Coffee Mate French Vanilla liquid creamer and 2 tsp of sugar. I would love to find something a bit healthier also. I don't do sugar substitutes though because I feel that the real thing is better and healthier than chemicals so if I switch it has to be something natural. For those that use the fat…

LOL. I did the same thing!! Yesterday was my first day and I did great!! Then today I thought since I had so many calories left over yesterday I would treat myself to some yellow rice and a can of Mt. Dew. What a terrible choice!! Though I still have plenty of calories left over I didn't account for the carbs!! Wow!! I had…

Mmmm. I love any fresh fruits or veggies. One of my fave raw veggies is cut up red bell pepper. I don't know the calories off hand. If I need something more filling I have 1/2 of whole wheat pita bread filled with 2 slices of ham, 1 tbs miracle whip and 1/2 slice american cheese. You could also do the lowfat Miracle whip…

I love dressing and would have never thought mix ranch and salsa. I will def. have to give it a try! Thanks:)

Honestly? I think that it is a mind thing. Atleast for me it is. I started emotionally eating after my 3rd son was diagnosed with cancer at 3 weeks old. I snacked all of the time so when I started to try and lose weight I felt hungry all of the time!! I could be eating well over my alloted calories but I was still…

I love coffee. I drink mine with a ton of French Vanilla creamer and 2 tsp of sugar. Today was my start date and I was too worried to look it up so I just decided to drink hot green tea. It is hot green tea with orange, passion fruit and jasmine. It has 0 calories on its own and doesn't taste too bad. As good as it is…
