I will join too! I downloaded the video on Amazon today. So we do the video everyday for 30 days? Sorry, I haven't read anything about it yet. :(

Something else to think about is if you are sensitive to carbs, you might also be sensitive to fruits and sodium too. I did WW for a very long time and just couldn't really be successful at it. I was always hungry and bloated. I switched over to MFP and boy was it an eye opener! I had no idea how much sodium I was eating!…

Thanks so much!

I've been doing the same thing for the last month or so. I've been sooo good and was so in the zone but lately it's been bad in the evenings. I really have no advice either. I just start over the next day. :smile:

Just pick good, wholesome food, log it into MFP at a calorie deficit and that is all you need.

Wow! That is awesome! You look amazing! Congratulations!

I knew I had gained a lot of weight and I was so unhappy with myself but still.....I kept thinking..."Oh I don't look that bad." It wasn't until I kind of half heartedly went to a nutritionist and she told me that I needed to lose 101.8 lbs. GULP! I just cried. I cried all the way home and then some. Also, a friend of a…

I'm pretty new to this but could you possibly not be eating enough calories? Extreme Bodyshaping sounds like a tough workout to me. Also, have you taken your measurements lately? Keep it up!

I am a former WW'er and it is basically the same but then again it's not...for me anyways it's not. I was always hungry on WW and only paid attention to the point values of food. I feel that there is so much more involved like protein, carbs, sodium, sugar, etc. Since starting MFP, I have become more away of what I am…

Great! Get plugged into the MFP community and start tracking! Good luck!:happy:

First of all Welcome! I agree with you. This is my first time counting calories too as well as watching sodium, protein, carbs, sugar, etc and it definitely has been an eye opening experience. I'm loving it! Good luck!

I've made it one time and it was pretty good. It didn't taste like spaghetti squash to me but I still liked it. I think the key is cooking it correctly.

Not all fruit is created equal. Bananas are loaded with sugar! I cannot eat a lot of fruit and when I do I eat strawberries, blueberries, etc. I try to stick with the ones that are lower on the glycemic index.

I used to eat a ton of fruit until I started using MFP. I also was hungry all the time eating so much fruit but then you hear folks saying...."you don't get fat by eating fruit." Well, some of us do. My body cannot handle that much sugar. I have 1 maybe 2 servings of fruit per day and if I do I make sure they are on the…

Way to go!

Wow! That is amazing!

Yum! Thanks for sharing!

Jumping up and down and screaming....ME, ME! I technically didn't hide mine. LOL! We are in temporary housing right now and my scale is packed up in storage so I have been unable to weigh myself. I go see my nutritionist today to weigh in for the first time in 2 weeks. I actually think I will keep the scale packed away…

I think that sounds way too low. There is a calculator that you can use to figure out what your caloric intake should be. Good luck!:happy:

I totally understand where you are coming from. Over the last 12 years, I have been on that rollercoaster and it's not fun. I knew I was an emotional eater and it has resulted in a 100 lb weight gain. I'm mortified and embarrassed but I had to stop that way of thinking because I saw how it had just killed my self esteem. I…

That's great! I have slept with a cpap machine for about 7 years and I am sooooo ready to get rid of that thing!!!

Welcome! Feel free to add me too. Just be patient and know you are doing your body good and getting healthy!:happy:

You know...I used to weigh myself daily and I would drive myself crazy. Then I got to where I would only weigh myself weekly. Now.....we are in temporary housing and my scale is in storage so I can't weigh in at all. This has been the best thing ever! I will get weighed next week when I go see my nutritionist but I will…

I, too, am an emotional eater. I went to a nutritionist and she recommended the book called "Intuitive Eating". I have just started the book but so far it's really good.

Come on! Ooooh....I totally forgot about Ceviche! Hmmm......

I also have PCOS and I know the frustration for sure. I tried WW several times and it would just never work for me. I think we have to really pay attention to all things involved like sugar, carbs, sodium, calories etc. It wasn't until I started using MFP that I really realized how bad WW was for me. I am very carb…

Sounds great to me! I will go add you now!:happy:

Welcome and good luck!

I won't be doing chips or margaritas. I will either get chicken fajitas with no tortillas or chicken tortilla soup.

You look wonderful! Keep up the great work. You have a beautiful family too!
