If you give your body more protein the sugar cravings tend to do down. Next time you have one try eating something high in protein! :)

I learned that it can actually be FUN to work out!! I also learned that some foods only tasted good because my body didn't know the difference!!

Hugs from my kids!! It makes me remember what I'm doing this all for.

Yes eat your calories burned but I would get a heart rate monitor so you know exactly how many calories you really burned. This sight is so off!!! I did step today and mfp said I burned almost 600 calories when my HRM said 400.

I too think it is jealousy! I have people who ask me if I'm starving myself too. They just don't get it! There are a lot of foods out there that you can eat AND lose weight!

I think that you should just eat right, drink a lot of water (more than 8 glasses a day), exercise, and be patient!!!!! It WILL happen! I lost 60 pounds the old fashioned way! Most of the time your body is just dehydrated when you feel hungry and really just needs some water!

I don't agree with using suppressants unless you plan on taking them forever. I try to eat a lot of protein throughout the day it really helps to curve my hunger and cravings.

Thank you...I have been using my HRM to enter calories. It just makes me wonder now if that is why I may have been at a stand still with my weight loss cause of entering too many calories in to computer before. It is a huge difference some days.

Anyone?!? :(

Drinking water is a MUST if you are trying to lose weight. And if you are heavier it is recommended that you drink even more than 8 glasses. Water helps your body to not retain water and it can also help to digest food better. It also helps you feel full. Sometimes our body's tell us we are hungry when really we are simply…

Ok so I didn't read all of the post cause I'm really wanting to get to sleep but wanted to say I LOVE cottage cheese. I eat it in my salads, it allows me to use half the amount of dressing. I also mix it with yogurt! Both ways are yummy and it's a good way to get some extra protein and calcium. :)

Mine was when my size 16 paints started to become too tight! I refused to buy a size 18 so instead I got my butt in gear and am now buying size 8! :) Plus I knew that the lifestyle I was leading was not a very healthy one for my kids either! So I changed it all!

I would also say it's a personal choice. I really like to eat protein bars. They fill me up much better than other snacky foods. Plus they help me make my protein goals! I eat Luna and Zone brands. Love them! :)

I actually really like my shoulders! I've been doing body pump and have noticed that they have become more defined! Ha I went out and bought shirts that show them off!!! :)

Hey so we're a little different but close enough!! :) I'm Sherri Height-5'6 Age-32 SW-220 CW-154 Gw-145

You need to eat a lot of protein in order to not lose muscle mass. I try to eat more protein on the days I do heavy lifting at the gym.

I have one thing to say !!!!YOU NEED TO EAT YOUR CALORIES YOU BURN!!! PERIOD..... That is all...Thank you

I started at 220 and am now at 154. It's taken me about 2 years to get where I am.. A lot of back and forth with my weight. I lost the weight by watching my diet, excising and drinking A LOT of water. I change up my work out every so often so that my body doesn't do the same thing constantly. I did use weight watchers for…

Thank you everyone!! I do hope it goes away. When I first started working out back in Jan of 2010 it wasn't an issue for me. I stopped working out for a few months and then when I started again is when the itching began and hasn't let up. I have been steadily going to the gym now for 3 months and have had no relief yet!…

Thank you everyone!! It feels great to finally be at a healthy weight!! :) And be a good role model for my children!

Thanks! I've already kinda been on a break so it's all or nothing now! :)

Ugh of course the pics are too big...and I'm not smart enough to fix them! lol

I really hate it when people don't use the right form of 'to' or 'too'. I know it shouldn't bother me but it does!!

When I finally was able to get a nice car the kids decided that it was in need of a name!! We all decided on the name Eggy. It's an off white saturn.

I too have a lot going on! I'm so sorry that you were made to feel "unnormal" when you were younger due to your weight! Sometimes as parents and grandparents you try so hard thinking what you're doing is the right thing that you don't stop to think about the lasting effects they could have. I have been on my weight loss…

:flowerforyou:

I love to eat Luna protein bars after a good work out. Not only are they loaded with protein to help my muscles but they are fillings as well..
