Makes sense. The one Friday that I went out and had wine, pizza, plus didn't work out that morning, I ended up losing 2 lbs the Monday after. So maybe I'm not eating enough + working out too hard b/c it seems like I've gained that weight back even though I've been eating healthier and running. I will experiement and see…

I feel you. I am a vegetarian so a lot of things I cook, I have to make sure I can make it non-vegetarian as well for my bf. So like for tacos, I will usually make one chicken/beef filling and one beans/vegan soy filling. That way its not entirely two separate meals. Or, I cook a lot of indian food as well, which he…

It should be available now :)

I broke out from BCP as well. It depends on your body and may need ot try a different one is giving you acne. Try exfoliating atleast 3x a week to remove any dead cells/build up. I also used ProActive..it helped a little but I'm using AcneFree now and i think its working better than Proactiv... Good luck!

Welcome! I'm glad you decided to join MFP. Its been a great tool for me to see my calories...You're going to love it. Making things from scratch is definitely much better. There are tons of recipes that you can find on this site that will help you along the way! Good luck

i agree, i try hard to stay on the outer rims of the store and barely make my way up the aisles. Some of the clean food I like is oatmeal, grapefruit, any type of green smoothie, greek yogurt, and anything to make a gigantic salad. I try to eat a lot of salads just to get my veggie intake. Being vegetarian, I eat a lot of…

Looks Delicious. Can't wait to try it!!!

I just posted this recipe : http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/186661-most-amazing-vegan-mocha-brownies These are not overly sweet so they won't cause you to have a sugar high, but they really helped me when I wanted chocolate. If you look at the nutritional contents, they aren't high in sugar, and have a good amount…

YAY! I'm glad you liked them! The frosting though, is truely yummy. Definitely try it next time!

I've been using Couch to 10K on my iPod. Its a 10 week program but 3 workouts per week. I think its really good, because it slows you into the running process and you can keep track of the workouts as you progress. I'm in no way promoting this app but I've found it helpful....Here's the link…

No i didn't try them without, but the frosting itself is so delicious that I think it would be ok without them...or maybe even half...

Some people are just soo rude. Seriously, I would just continue working hard and stop listening to what other people say. I've been told I looked pregnant too and I am definitely not. I know it makes you feel worse about yourself, but you can't let that discourage you. You have to keep working hard and be happy with your…

The only conclusion I can formulate from taking sea kelp is the increased iodine. Iodine is important in regulation metabolism and people with low thyroids tend to need more iodine to help with their metabolism. Either way, i know sea kelp along with other sea vegetables are really good for you.

I loved them! I was a little iffy because I thought it would have a pungent black bean taste, but they didn't. I made my boyfriend try them before telling him what was in them, and he was really surprised after I revealed the ingredients. Also, you could use pureed bananas or applesauce in place of the yogurt, but I've…

Sorry forgot to add that! Should be listed now :)

Great job! We're all here for you.

I'm having the same concern. I've been running a lot lately, and it doesn't seem like I'm losing any weight. I eat pretty clean, meaning mostly fruits and vegetables, so i doubt it my actually food. My only other guess would be not eating enough calories. If our body goes into a "starvation" mode then its really difficult…
-
I know how you feel. But honestly, I've been at this for a very long time as well and its a battle with me. There are some days I feel great and others I break into tears because I can't get into any of my clothes. I sit there and think is this how its going to be?? I work out everyday and nothing is changing. I eat…

I like nuts, but sometimes I react differently to them (cause me to bloat)...I would suggest carrots (not always due to sugar content), celery and pb, apples and pb...my favorite snack when i work from home is blending spinach and a piece of fruit for a green smoothie...it fills me up... Recently I came across Roasted…

LOL :) My bf always tries to convince me that we could exercise in other ways and I just give him the look....

We are all here to support you! MFP is great!!!

Yes! Last year I got into a huge funk and couldn't figure out why. But I had my doctor run some blood tests because we thought maybe I could have hypothroidism since its in my family....Well my Vitamin D levels came up as 12...normal range minimum is I think 30...Supposedly that is why I was always soooo tired and couldn't…

You should be very careful with these types of magic pills. I've tried so many and nothing works. In all honesty, I lost the most weight when I was eating a clean diet and working out, and ensuring I drank atleast 8 glasses of water a day. The problem with these drugs is if you decrease your appetite, your slowing down…

I always feel guilty. For some reason I get hungrier on my rest days so I end up wanting to eat more than my daily allowance. However, rest is very important. I've seen most improvements when I take a day off or two in between my runs/workouts... Try meditating or doing something less straining like stretching....
-
AMAZING!!!!
-
I didn't start seeing results until 3-4 weeks after I started the program. I became a lot stronger...however, I only lost 5 lbs doing the work out. I think mainly I lost fat and gained muscle. However, once I stopped doing P90x after the program, I gained it back since I wasn't doing strength training.

i actually just bought some roasted seaweed from trader joes...only 30 calories per serving. It filled me up :)

Thanks Guys!!! I know MFP has the greatest support, something I've been lacking. I love that everyone is able to communicate their feelings to each other, w.o judgement. I have been carrying around a water bottle all day to make sure I keep drinking :)
