  • my wife and I have a 4 month old girl :)
  • When I lose 7 more lbs (putting me at 150, a loss of 38 lbs), I'm getting a quarter sleeve tattoo. A hot air balloon/wizard of oz theme :)
  • for such an expert, I'm surprised you have any weight to lose.
  • I would say I menu plan more than I meal prep. I plan out all of my dinners for the week on friday, then grocery shop on saturday and sunday. I plan quick meals for days when I workout after work, and more involved meals for the weekends. If there are things I can do in advance, like prepare a casserole, then I will do…
  • I'm getting married October 2015. I'm down about 30lbs so far, with maybe 10 (maybe 15??) to go. Most importantly though, i want to get my back and arms ripped by my day :) I wish you all the best!
  • I bring my lunch almost every day, it might be: leftovers from dinner the previous night (that's what I'm having today!) A turkey sandwich, berries, yogurt a big salad with grilled chicken, radishes, cucumbers, carrots etc. lunch meat roll ups (if i'm keeping the carbs low at lunch in order to eat more of them later),…
  • nope. everyone knows the answer is 42.
  • +1 I lost 30lbs on Weight Watchers, then gained 20lbs back. Using MFP I have re-lost that 20lbs and look leaner due to monitoring my protein and working out. 10lbs to go until my goal and I regret wasting all that money on Weight Watchers when I could have used it to buy more food!
  • I am a 36D (I could probably be a 34D or DD but I haven't been refitted in a while) and I ONLY wear the Victorias Secret Sports Bra called Incredible. It is maximum support, and comes in my size, and I only have to wear one (I'm sure you have been in my shoes and had to double up on less supportive sports bras). They…
  • Pizza eggs. 'Nuff said.
  • Haha, well that makes me feel terrible Starting BMI: 33 *You have a higher BMI than 88% of females aged 15-29 in your country *You have a higher BMI than 99% of females aged 15-29 in the world *You're most like someone from Tonga Current BMI: 28 *You have a higher BMI than 58% of females aged 15-29 in your country *You…
  • I'm currently training for my first half marathon in October (which will be the Smuttynose Rockfest Half in Hampton, NH) and I am also hoping to do the Disney Princess Half next february! feel free to add!
  • I have the same problem! I have started forcing myself to drink a large glass of water before I have a snack. It keeps my hands busy for a few minutes while I figure out if I'm actually hungry or just bored.
  • hummus, beans, lean meat like fish, chicken breast, bison etc
  • Thanks everyone! I will definitely switch to the TDEE when I officially start half marathon training in July, until then I think the method I am using seems to be working for weight loss. Then in July, I'll go into maintenance mode and just focus on improving the runs!
  • Apple Butter is the greatest thing! You can make it from diced up apples, sugar and cinnamon in the crock pot. Its basically just applesauce that has been cooked longer and it is divine! I put it on toast or bagels or *gasp* ice cream on the off chance that I have some!
  • This is exactly how my fiance proposed! It was amazing, and we have so many beautiful photos!
  • I alternate between a homemade breakfast sandwich (with High fiber english muffin, one slice of canadian bacon, one Thin slice of Sargento cheese, and egg beaters) or I have a protein shake. I haven't had cereal since I started this journey, and I shoot for at least 15g of protein at breakfast.

  • Thanks! I was just wondering if it tasted good, and I think I will give it a try on my next shopping trip!
  • The only concern I have about switching entirely to almond milk is the protein content, its non-existent! Has anyone tried the Almond Milk+ that has extra protein supplemented? Is it good?
  • The Dark Chocolate one is sinful! I drink that as an after dinner treat if I am under my calorie goal. It tastes like melted ice cream!
  • so in order to stay focused I need to have little rewards and big rewards I'm working for! Every wednesday when I go to my weekly weigh-in at my fitness club, if I lost weight that week, I will take a bubble bath before bed. I could take a bath anytime I wanted but don't normally take the extra time to indulge myself so it…
  • On Sunday, before I grocery shop, I plan all the dinners for the week and post them to the menu board in my kitchen. This way I know ahead of time if anything needs to be prepped the night before or in the morning. Added benefit: when I get home from work tired and cranky, I usually realize that cooking whatever I had…
  • I eat things like yogurt, string cheese and protein bars (Luna) as snacks. Also, I make sure I have protein at every meal. For example, I'll go for a breakfast sandwich with egg whites and canadian bacon over a bowl of cereal for breakfast. Or throw some grilled chicken onto my salads. I regularly get 80-90 grams of…
