I eat my BMR + 50 to 100 cals to make sure I hit my BMR daily....I spent my first 3 months eating 1300-1400 calories...hit a plateau & had to get it through my head that I have to eat my BMR....lost over 2 pounds this week eating 1800-1900 cals/day. You can calculate your BMR here=…

I don't care what other people eat...the only exception being my children & that's only because it's my job to teach them how to eat properly so they don't end up where I did & have hopefully a healthier relationship with food than I once did.

From Michigan live in Louisiana...I own an internet biz & am a nurse.

Milk, eggs, lunch meat, cheese slices (various), yogurt, strawberries, steaks, cucumbers, lettuce, avocados, red onion, yellow onion, brocolli, mushrooms, 5 gallons of water, pickle spears, jalepeno slices, garlic, humus (various), carrots, light salad dressings, light sour cream, mayo w/ olive oil, low sugar ketchup,…

ripped!

Shopping today for this very problem...droopy drawers & empty bras...I so miss my boobs :)

Sounds like you aren't eating enough- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/6556-the-answers-to-the-questions

I think everyone has their own things that work. I personally eat breakfast because I know it will be at least 8 hours before I get another meal on days I work...I made the mistake of not eating breakfast one day & felt like total crap once I finally got to eat. Is breakfast for everyone? Nope.. again do what works for…

Agree Breville is the only way to go!! We tried several others before we finally made the jump & it was so worth it!

I am a nurse & I work my booty off. My weight has never got in the way of me performing my job. It did however take a toll on my self esteem. I knew/know what I should be eating & what I was doing to my body wasn't the right thing. However, for me I needed to look at the reason why I was treating myself the way I was. I…

Anyone can add me too :) Age: 32 Height: 5'5" SW 270 CW 234 GW 190 (prob less but that's my starting point) Calorie Goal: 1850 - I started off my first 2 weeks doing 1200-1300 cals..& then I figured out I was starving myself once I couldn't sleep anymore....losing the same as I was at a higher caloric intake now. This is…

I always usually wake between 3:30 & 4....day 2 of getting up at 3 am so I can swim before I go to work....going to give this a week...if I am still dragging I may have to switch the swim to the evenings ;)

Been getting up at 4am for work for ages.....started today moving the clock back so I could get a swim in before work :)

I used to eat there all the time.... I don't for multiple reasons- 1.) My hubby's new allergies...prevents us from eating out 99% of places...who would have thought that would be something helpful ha ha :) 2.) I like to know exactly what is going into my food now 3.) I can make something with less calories that tastes…

I've lost a cinder block...wow ;) Almost up to the microwave...boy am I glad I don't have to carry either of those around LOL

You look amazing :)

Bring your own snacks & meals... I am offered free food at my job & always have people bringing in junk. I plan ahead my entire day & have my lunch box including a wide variety of snacks all packed. I usually included 4-5 diff snacks & rarely eat them all but it's nice to have variety. :)

I'm no expert but I think you need to listen to your body which sounds like you are eating too little.

I was hoping so too LOL I was pouring on my walk today...dreading August already!!

Agree with all the freebie suggestions ;) I walk all the time & it's free. You can do it if you are really ready for a change!!!

It's a work out DVD. Today was day 2 for me & man oh man my thighs are killingggggg me!! Seriously horrid! Gonna push through it!!

You look amazing :) :)

So awesome ;) I felt pretty much the same way!! Keep up the awesome job!!

I will be in! Should get my DVD in tomorrow ;)

Wow wow wow :) So inspiring!! :)

Great job :) :)

It was a few things for me.... First was "out growing" all of my scrubs YIKES! My knees & back hurting ALL the time! Stepping on the scale to find out I was my heaviest. I thought about it for a few days & decided I needed to stop making excuses...enough of letting emotions lead food to my mouth....just enough. I am ready…

Amazing & inspirational :)

I don't feel self conscious about it but I do feel like it holds me more accountable. I have actually stopped myself & made wiser choices because of MFP...I mean it's all laid out right in front of me & I have no excuses with having the phone app LOL. Also who is to say your food choices are weird? We are all here for the…

Oh how I feel you! On my days off I am able to cook & load myself up with tons of veggies & fruits...on work days not so much with 12 hour shifts...I just make sure I pack plenty of snacks that fall within my calorie range....sugar free fruit cups, popcorn, etc....not the best but I still feel like it's better than what I…
