Sent you a message. Hope you can match me to a MFP that has common goals for the month of May!!!:wink:

If you are busting your butt working out then you may be gaining muscle weight but losing fat. What was your body fat % when you started and what is it now? I bet there is a difference there.

I agree totally! I'm 5'6 and weigh 135. I am looking to lose 10% more body fat, but replacing this with muscle. I know that I will probably gain 10 pounds doing so. I look at it this way....When I was a size 8, I weighed 125 pounds. When I was a size 2, I weighed 145 pounds. The difference was the body fat. I got that way…

My favorite smoothie recipe: 1 cup "frozen" strawberries 1/2 cup low sugar cranberry juice 1 scoop whey chocolate protein powder 1/8 cup frozen blueberries (optional) stevia or spenda to taste I've tried it with fresh strawberries and didn't like it as much. Frozen work great! And you don't need ice or a juicer! * I even…

I love Beefalo (Grass Fed Bison) as it is low in calories and fat. I use the ground beefalo mixed with taco seasoning usually. And add lettuce, banana peppers, fat free cheese and a low cal, low fat, low sugar dressing. I cooked a roast in a crock pot on Saturday and didn't eat it all. It shredded up nicely so I've been…

sounds yummy

I have difficulty getting in exercise due to my work schedule. My day goes like this: Up at 6:30 am to get ready for work. Leave at 7:30 am (hour drive) Work 8:30 am - 5:05 pm (15-20 min drive to job 2) Work 5:20 pm - 10:30 pm Get home at 11:30 pm Do normal household stuff including make breakfast, lunch and dinner for…

Don't let anyone tell you any different. I agree with you. I work two jobs back to back and contribute to the household income, but I believe that we all have our traditional duties to perform. If I had a choice, I would be a stay at home mom.

Special K southwestern chips!!! Yum

Don't know if I'll have the nerve...

YUM...thanks!

I'm doing horrible. Two desk jobs and work 14 hour days. Then 2 hours of driving. Snowing too. Ugh!

I think it's a huge difference! Great job!

I knew I forgot something this morning! :blushing: Actually they're black lace...

I was thinking the same thing, but are they the MFP's real picture or someone else??? Who cares, made my day. Now the other question, why can the guys post pictures of themselves without anything on top and we can't? :blushing:

Thanks everyone! When they told him he was dehydrated he told them "I had a couple cups of coffee, some juice and a can of pop - I can't be dehyrdrated.' No comment....

WOW! Amazing.

Thanks for all the info. I'm looking for a new naturopath. My last one was a little off the wall. My doctor is just ignorant when it comes to this. I was seeing a neurologist, because I was having seizures but couldn't diagnose anything. I hate to take meds because of the side effects of everything. I will check out the…

I will have to read that. I was diagnosed a year or so ago, it took forever for it to be diagnosed. My doctor didn't give me any meds or even any info on it. My chiropractor is the one that figured it out, when I told my doctor she just looked at me. She did some tests and said "oh yeah that's it", but she didn't even talk…

I will try but I only get 6 hours a sleep each night now and it's almost impossible to get out of bed as it is. I will try tomorrow to get up 30 min earlier. Unfortunately, my husband isn't supportive and he leaves for work at 7 am. He needs to watch his news for an hour before he leaves for work while he has his coffee,…

Not quite hitting the 10k a day, I try to walk as much as possible but having 14.5 hrs of desk job work each day (M-F) is making it so hard. I manage between 6500-7500. I planned on really hitting it over the weekend, but ended up sick....still there. Running a high fever and have a sore throat. Always a wrench in the…

I'm with you. I used to eat a huge bowl (about 15 cups) with a stick of butter and 1/4 cup parmesan cheese on it every night. I went without it for a year and now limit myself to once a month, but only 6 cups and no more than 2 tbsp butter and 4 tbsp low fat cheese. I just had mine on Friday, my next treat is scheduled for…

I'd love to try! I'm a newbie so I'm going to have to try 30 miles. I work two desk jobs back to back so I'm working 14 hours a day and have 2 hrs of driving time. I will try my best!

I have back to back desk jobs (8:30 am - 5 pm and 5:15 pm - 10:30 pm M-F) so I have a real hard time getting in 10k a day, but I will try. I'm usually jogging in place in front of the tv when I get home at 11:30 pm (yes, an hour ride to work and then another hour to get home). I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I walk in…

Hi, I'm Cana. I have only been using my fitbit for a few days now. Love how accurate it is with the steps. I'd love to join you!

OMG...I think I married his twin brother. He said "I guess we should get married huh?" while he was driving his car. No ring, didn't ask my dad, nothing. He hasn't improved over the years either...

You have a great figure. Don't hide it, but I like that you're not trying to look 20 again. For casual wear, I would suggest a nice pair of dark denim jeans, which I think is the hardest thing to ever buy. They can be dressed up or down depending on your footwear and your top. I would buy a nice pair at a store. The other…

A baked potato with butter and sour cream, a platter of boiled potatoes covered in butter, salt & pepper, french fries with cheese sauce, steak mexicato with grilled cauliflower, homemade stuffing, stuffed shells, onion rings, salad from the Olive Garden (love it but it's sooooo bad for you) soft pretzel, breadsticks with…

As with everyone else here, this is just an opinion, but I agree with everyone ....your diary isn't good. Eat breakfast. Monitor your daily fat intake. Drink enough water and eat back your exercise calories. I stalled out for awhile and had to up my calories by 300/day to start to lose weight again. Remember if you are…

My feeling is this. A woman should wear something every day that makes her feel sexy. If it's a pair of red heels, a nice top or some racy under garments. I know I find it easier to feel sexy when I'm feeling fit and rim, but I could do it before my 50 lb loss too.
