It could be the propylene glycol (PG) that is bothering you. OR, it could be normal smoking cessation symptoms which can include increased coughing, build up of phlegm, etc. You could wait a couple of weeks and see if the symptoms disappear (try drinking extra water) or, the best thing to do IMO, would be to go with a 100%…

Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches. Vanilla and cookies n cream.

If you "fall off", get back on. I do well with letting myself eat whatever I want on the weekend now. I didn't in the beginning. I've found, though, that "whatever I want" is what I normally eat all week plus some junk food. Like this weekend I had a huge cupcake. It was so good! I'm also an ice cream lover so I make room…

The mirror, the scale, the way my clothes fit, and pictures. Also, the people that notice an comment. Affirmation is good!

You can use what MFP sets them at until you've done enough research to know how you want to set them in the custom settings. A lot of ppl go with a 40/30/30 split... 40% carbs, 30% fat, 30% protein.

As far as "the different things you should have every day", that's where your macros come in (carbs, protein, fats, etc...). These help you figure out where you're doing well and where you need more or less of whatever type of food.

I've only used it once when I took a couple of taste tests at the Fresh Market. Other than that, I don't use it! I make sure the info loaded by other members is correct and track it that way. You'll find that you eat a lot of the same foods and you can just select them from your recent foods list. I also use the recipe…

Hey! I'm also working on losing 100 lbs., down 25 so far. The key for me has been to take a moderate calorie deficit instead of dropping really low, then eating about every 3 hours or so. I've been dropping around 1-2 lbs per week. You can do this!

Short answer... yes. There are longer answers. It's been covered EXTENSIVELY.

Try going to electronic cigs first... still bad for you but "probably" not as bad. I say probably b/c the science hasn't caught up with the technology. That way, you're still getting the nicotine and the hand to mouth habit, but without the tar, smoke, etc... I still haven't completely quit with regular cigs, but I do…

I don't know... there are plenty of studies that point either way, and in all cases there are not enough independent studies on the long-term use of GMO's by humans and any possible side effects. Yes, I saw the huge list of studies already cited (here's an article with sources that point the other way...…

My 4 year old daughter said, "Mommy, I don't want my belly to look like yours." I thought, what kind of example am I setting, and statistically overweight parents that don't know how to eat correctly raise overweight children.

OK, so obviously I'm wrong, and now I have a question... an honest question and hopefully I'll get a reply from a non-*kitten*. Every time I lift I gain strength. i.e. I fail at a higher weight the next time I lift. How are gaining strength and gaining muscle different?

I build muscle easily... but I like it!!!

Get a good mix of fiber and protein. Salad w/ grilled chicken, blt on whole wheat, tuna sandwich on ww with lettuce tomato onion, veggies with hummus, veggies with peanut butter, soft taco with chicken, lettuce, tomato and avocado, greek yogurt with granola and blueberries, etc... sometimes I just grab a can of tuna, some…

Oh I hate that!

Maybe TMI... but really good sex and feeling sexy while I'm doing it.

Brie and roasted apple or pear grilled cheese... OMG....

I've done this as well...

232 here, down from 252 only 45 days ago. I'm at about 1800 cals per day. :)

This... Thank you!

I either work out after they go to bed or their Daddy makes them leave me alone. I tried having them work out with me, but I have 4 yr old twins and they either got all in the space I needed, or in each others space which led to them fighting, lol. Sometimes they walk "with" me, but that isn't conducive to a very brisk…

I was pretty much addicted to sweet tea. I drank it every day. My hubby and I would go through nearly a gallon a day. I KNEW that if I could quit drinking tea that I could control the rest of my diet. I've been drinking nothing but water for the last 6 weeks. Every night I "indulge" and have a cup of hot tea with 1/2…

Hi Tiffers! I'm Female 32 5'5" SW: 252 CW: 235 GW: 150-135 (ultimate goal, but with baby steps) I log daily, measure and weigh my food for calories, and exercise 5 days a week. :)

THIS!

I know a way you can lose over 100 lbs in about 2 minutes... cause I guarantee you that jackhole weighs more than 100 lbs and it would take 2 minutes or less to tell him to GTFO. Also, no. Do it right, be healthy about it.

It WILL work! But do yourself a favor and if you can possibly avoid it DO NOT weigh yourself for at least 6 weeks. You may actually gain at first if your body has experienced some metabolic slow down and/or hormonal shifts. It is temporary and should drop off quickly. Best of luck to you!
