Awesome! You will be there in no time...keep up the great work!

Thanks! I'll check it out!

anybody?

My husband and I started our journey together as of Jan. 1st this year. We both had lost 60 lbs each prior to meeting each other and over the last couple of years gained about 1/2 of that back. I had used MFP in the past, but he had not. We both decided we needed to eat better, and exercise because we wanted to spend as…

I currently am at 75 net carbs a day (carbs-fiber) and no more than 10-15 tsp of sugar a day. Now I am also on a supervised wt loss program, so im monitored. Naturally if your carbs are low, so will your sugar, they go hand in hand

For snacks I usually have the dannon fit and light greek yogurt, its really good thrown in the freezer for about an hour ahead of time! Also things like string cheese, and cheese sticks. I also use EAS protein shakes. 1-3 carbs, 100 calories, and 17g protein. They as well are good thrown in the freezer, ice cold and slushy!

What an amazing story! Thanks for sharing...you look great!

Oh yummy! I am so going to make these tonight as well!

I also find that after working out I am not hungry at all, and was having a hard time eating back my exercise calories. What I found that works for me if I have several hundred calories left, I grab a handful of walnuts or almonds. They are high in calories, and are a good fat.

AGREED! This is exaclty what I do.

Thats a great start so far! You can do it and would love to encourage you along the way! Request sent!

Oh that just tugged at my heart, and brought me to tears! For me it was mulitple reasons.1) I was just getting tired of food, it was pretty much just making me sick to look at it. Everytime I was putting food in my mouth I felt disgusted. 2) My daughter currently is having several health issues (shes 16) and a couple of…

Truly an inspiration! You do look amazing, and 2014 is going to be a great year....God is good!

Attica here....have been on this site for quite a long time....Love it! Now if I can just stay focused and do what I need to do all the time...I would be one happy camper! LOL

Great job...You look amazing!

You look amazing!!!! Great job!

wow 900???? i cant imagine any doctor setting calorie intake that low! if MFP is working I would stick with that, but as suggested earlier you call also see a dietician and see what they suggest as a safe calorie intake level.

ok gonna give thing a try, not sure it will work for me as i have a lot of weight to loose and my maintenance calories is 2602! thats a lot of calories and as of now i eat that many calories in 2 days.......

Definitely makes a difference! Its nice to see the support and motivation on my accomplishments each day, and nice to vent and get the words of encouragement!

I personally like them myself. Somedays im not as good as I should be about getting fruits and veggies in. I usually have some at breakfast.

Yea I have been trying really hard to pack meals and snacks at home.

For me personally they are "extra". I tend not to eat them back;however if I need the extra calories that day because I'm hungry its nice to have the "extra" if I want to have a little extra something to snack for the day.

Getting ready to do a week of midnight shift next week myself...days with rotation.... This is the shift I am having the hardest time with eating well and getting in my workout since im primarily days.

Yea usually busy at my job as well, but then find myself eating bigger meals, or eating on go of not so good things lol

I know where you are coming from! I have just been a nurse for 2 yrs now, but put on about 75 lbs alone while in school! Good to hear your getting a jump on it now while your in school!

8 lbs in 3 weeks= doing something right!!!!!

Generally speaking I believe it's ok to occasionally dip slightly below the 1200, if it's just a day your not hungry, and don't feel like eating. Your body isn't going to go into starvation mode because one day you drop below. But it shouldn't become a habit.

Add me! Started at 335 and down 41! Love all the support this site gives! Today to keep myself motivated I took pictures of myself front and side view on my cell phone and when I feel like having a bad food day I'm gonna whip those bad boys out!

Definitely in the a.m. after going to the bathroom and wearing what you came into the world with!

Guess mine would be the time when my date informed me that since I made more money then him I should pay for our date, and got up from the table. We definitely went out again.......NOT ......what a looser!
