I'll be 32 tomorrow. Dirty Thirty Holla! Welcome!

That was Freaking fantastic! *claps*

It's about what you are eating, not just the calories because there are other things involved like carbs and sugars. If you are eating under your calories but going way over on those other aspects it will negatively effect your weight loss. You have to be eating those calories from good sources otherwise it doesn't work to…

A good pair of shoes will help, but have you checked out your technique at all? When running you wanna try to just use the front half of your foot, like the ball and toes and try to keep your heel from touching the ground. I learned this from a professional runner. It feels awkward at first but it really reduces the impact…

I think I've had stretch marks since I was born. I have lost considerable weight and gained and am now losing it again. I look at the stretch marks as a constant reminder of what was, and what never will be again. They fade and get smaller over time. don't worry so much about it. You can use oils and creams to help but…

You look great girl! Keep it up!

I had the same problem when i first lost weight after having GB surgery. I lost 237 lbs and suddenly realized what all my skinny friends were always complaining about. It's the one and only thing i miss about being obese. Could be that you are having a medical problem too like everyone suggest but could also be that you…

Almond milk brown rice noodles spring mix carrots rice cakes blueberries greek yogurt honey chicken squash (of any kind acorn and spaghetti being the highest)

I'm gonna be honest here. I couldn't even read your whole post because it got so confusing... I understand pregnancy can do weird things to you during and after... I really think if you are having this much trouble you should consult a doctor. What is left to eat after that long list of just about everything you made that…

also acorn and spaghetti squash. :D we've been trying a lot of new stuff out here

Cauliflower and brussels. if prepared right brussels are pretty tasty and cauliflower is very versatile.

Tuna pouches are really effective in a pinch. A lot of grocery stores have salad bars and hot bars (like wholefoods and many others) There are healthier on the go options too like Subway has lower calorie options. The biggest thing you have to be careful of is cheese and dressings there. I just go for a turkey 6 inch with…

I measure everything. Measuring cups are really useful because it is really easy if your eyeballing things to be way off. MFP uses the standard measuring systems so a cup....is a cup. Now could it be that maybe there is an extra half strawberry in there that makes its stick out of the cup?? Sure but like you said who is…

Welcome Dee Dee.... ;) Feel free to add me if you like.

I agree with what everyone else is saying here. Anything in excess will cause weight gain. I also wanna add that the fibers in fruit help your blood sugar even out and the fiber in fruit is what is good for you. That is why you should always eat your fruit and not drink it. I used to make smoothies of just fruit until I…

thegoodjava.com love it

Ha ha, I know what you mean. Have you tried other greens? Spinach, kale, spring mix, Romaine? Iceberg lettuce is a very watery lettuce and it is very low in nutrients. If you haven't tried any other the others I would highly recommend it. There are mustard greens too that add a little zing to your salad but I wouldn't…

I live with my fiance and his son (on the weekends) and they are both the kind of guys who can eat whatever whenever and it doesn't phase their weight. In fact, my fiance actually wants to gain weight so creating healthy meals that can meet both of our needs can be challenging. I don't ask them to keep things out of the…

I'm still trying to figure out how 1 burger can be like 2000+ calories. They poured liquid death in it and the AMA says there is a war on obesity...i guess so but the war is how we fight to keep people fat by creating a burger that is 2000000gabillion calories.

The problem with soy products is a few things, it does contain estrogen which is bad for both men and women. Here are a few links that will explain all that to you: http://wellnessmama.com/3684/is-soy-healthy/ Then some scientific stuff: http://www.westonaprice.org/soy-alert/studies-showing-adverse-effects-of-soy Basically…

I'm looking to lose about 90. I'll add you. Kudos to challenging yourself and welcome :)

Get up and dust your shoulders off girl. We all get down... i myself can have such down days it would send the saddest emo kid running for brighter days. Don't let a little gain blow your flow. Think of how far you've come and remember that a little fluctuation is normal. You'll get there. Tess

Don't be too hard on yourself. There will be days when you fall short or when you way over do it. Analyze where you went wrong and decide where you can make better choices today. Don't blame yourself because your human and along with teaching yourself to make better choices you are changing an ingrained behavior. A…
