  • Sometimes you are just not eating enough. That would cause you to plateau.

If you want store bought chocolate...try the 100 cal packs that are out there...I think Nabisco makes them...brownies, cookies, snack sized cakes. Take your time and eat…
  • One week at a time is a good idea. Before you know it that one week will be 2, 3, 4 and more. Little successes are your best bet. As for going out to a friend's house for a party. YOU CAN DO IT and don't have to feel guilty. Just eat at home before you go there. Stay away from the food/snack table. For every alcoholic…
  • Try it and then adjust the seasonings for your particular taste. If you dont tell anyone it's turkey, they most likely will not know. They do taste really good.
  • i've had this and it was delicious!

  • muscle is more dense than fat, but whether it is 50lbs of feathers or 50lbs of rocks it is still 50lbs
  • WOW! I am not alone. I know what to do i know how to do it but the hardest part is getting motivated and staying motivated. Okay people...The BEST advice i can give you is to put yourself first...Track what you eat...when you eat...why you ate...how you felt after you ate...and schedule in some "ME TIME". Whether it's a…
  • WW does work if you follow it as does any plan. Right now it is FREE to join.Good if you need a kickstart. I just completed the 17 week program and it gave me motivation and awareness so I didnt overindulge during the holidays. The weekly weigh in does help me stay on track. I am not too keen on the newest program because…
  • this sounds yummy...i am going to try it.
  • 3 - 6lbs by Christmas is definitely do-able. I could probably do more if i set out to. right now a loss is a loss so I will take it. I just dont want to gain any more.
  • CONGATULATIONS!!! Accept your weight loss and embrace it. Do not make it anything less than the success it is. (by saying it's only 39lbs not much in 11 months) Get that negativity right out of your head and keep going forward! You are amazing and have an amazing,l healthy weight loss. Plateaus happen and everyone loses at…

  • Well, do you like juice? Try the V-8 Fusion or V-8Splash...you get you a fruit and/or veggie serving in one. I dont like tomato juice so i tend to favor the V-8 varieties. I had to experiment cuz I wasnt quite sure about all the flavors until i tried them. good luck.
  • You need to make time at least once a week to PLAN out your meals and snacks. It might take an hour or so...maybe while visiting your boyfriend he would help you. then PRE-PACKAGE portion sized healthy snacks granola bar, carrots, dehydrated apples, fruit.etc Your meals should probably be the Healthy Choice or Smart Ones…
  • Well, there are a few different ways. One way would be to take one week at a time and strive to lose SOMETHING. After that week is over start again and say you wil lose that week too. before long all the "one week losses" will add up. Another way you could achieve a mini goal is to make a chart and log your progress. I…

  • You are probably eating more calories than you are burning off. You have the right idea dont get discouraged. Now that you've asked you will get responses that should help you. Lots of good ideas on MFP and lots of people who genuinely care. Good luck on your quest.:happy:
  • Welcome. You and I are alike in that we know what we have to do and how to do it we are just having a hard time following thru. WW always will work if you follow it. The hardest part is logging what you eat but yet on the flpside of the coin by logging it makes you aware of your choices. MFP will work too. My daughter got…
