Hi, I'm 24. Feel free to add me

8 oz. boneless, skinless chicken breast- 200 calories 2 cups chopped broccoli- 60 calories 1/2 cup mushrooms- 8 calories 1/2 red bell pepper- 15 calories 1/2 jalapeno pepper- 2 calories 1/4 white onion- 12 calories stir fry seasoning mix- 40 calories (kikkoman is the brand I use) 1/4 cup (dry) white rice- 100 calories…

Acorn squash-85-112 calories depending on the size Cottage Cheese- 130 calories for 6 oz low fat Jello temptations- approx 120 calories per cup depending on the flavor Chobani yogurt- approx 140 calories for 6 oz depending on the flavor

I have dessert every night. Portions and a sweet tooth have always been my problem, so every night I treat myself to a twix ice cream bar (170 calories) and even with a treat every night I have seen steady results the last few weeks and have yet to go over my calories or fat for the day since I started MFP

I do a stir fry (that's extremely filling) with 6 oz chicken breast, onion, mushrooms, broccoli, asparagus, jalapeno, red pepper and some rice for about 450 calories. Don't stress if you go over, make up for it by taking a walk or something.

I started at 270 (Maurices size 17/18) and I'm only down about 10 lbs so I have yet to drop a pant size

I normally hate fruit so I decided to do the smoothie thing too! Here's what I do: 6 oz. greek yogurt (any flavor, I really like the Chobani pineapple or mango) 1 whole banana 1/2 cup frozen strawberries 6-7 ice cubes 1/4 cup of water It's delicious and low calories!

Caramel Vanilla Cream, Starbucks breakfast blend, Gloria Jeans butter toffee, Timothys winter carnival, Caribou daybreak....my list could go on and on...

I hope not because I'm over on my protein every day! Usually by 40-50 grams, I've always heard though, if you're going to go over on something, best that it's protein.

I love the Old Navy compression sports bra I just got, I think it cost $20....worth a shot!!

My sister has struggled to lose weight after her two kids and has tried everything from alli, hydroxycut, sensa..etc. She didn't see a lot for results with any supplement she has tried and the second she stopped taking them she gained everything back and then some! I know it's tempting wanting to use something to see…

Their salsa is AMAZING but plan on eating it in the next few days because it only stays good for a couple days

Thank you all so much!!

I feel like it's hurt my chances of getting hired. Even though it's wrong to discriminate, that is part of the reason I decided to make this change, I'm currently a nursing student and I don't feel like I would be setting a good example for my patients if I stayed heavy.

I do my weigh ins on Monday mornings because it helps me stay on track over the weekend!

I'd love to! I also hope to do my first ever 5k this september! SW:270 CW:263 GW:150

Well I'm glad we're already MFP friends because our journeys are so similar. I'm 24 and my goal is 120 lbs. I too will be starting up my college classes again in about two weeks while working full time and it is such a challenge to try and stay healthy while so busy. My trick is to substitute fast food convenience with…

I have two female bluetick coonhounds. The first was a rescue that we got about a year and a half ago and we fell in love with the breed so much we adopted another one this past Nov. They have so much energy, it's a great motivator to stay active!

Fond du Lac area here!! Feel free to add me!

I actually have Crohns disease w/ IBS so I feel your pain!! I have to avoid most fruit and especially raw vegetables at all costs!!! Depending on what I'm in the mood for I will pack some of these snacks for work: -Rice cakes (Quaker makes some really good flavors) -Nature Valley granola thins -Pretzels -Popcorn -Baked…

Way to go!!!!!

I started eliminating things from my diet that were easy to go without; soda and fast food. When making a lifestyle change it's not realistic to ONLY eat super healthy options; the key is portion control. Instead of going to a drive thru for my lunches I thought of other fast and easy options and looked to nutrition…

I'm a newbie too hoping to go from 270 lbs. to 150! I never realized how much I could enjoy exercise and eating right! I have more energy and so much more will power than I thought, suddenly the junk food I'm constantly tempted with just isn't worth it!

I suppose I got lucky, my husband is my biggest supporter because he has seen first hand how unhappy I have been with myself for so long. I think you should set a goal for you and your spouse to complete together that is maybe geared toward men so it's more encouraging to him. My husband and I plan on competing in a…

What a difference!! Keep up the good work!!

Congrats!!! Maurices is my absolute favorite store, they are the only jeans that seem to fit right on my body type!

I love your engagement picture!! You look beautiful!
