I made some that was really good by putting 2/3 cup of chia seeds in a jar with 2 cups of unsweetened vanilla almond milk and 1 tsp of vanilla extract - mix it all up and leave in fridge over night. NOT watery at all :) reminds me a lot like tapioca! You can add all other sorts of flavors in there (cinnamon, nutmeg, fruit,…

I think sometimes eating the same thing is okay - like for example I'll go grocery shopping and get stuff for the week and try to get enough stuff for the same breakfast all week and the same lunch all week (because I'm just shopping for myself, if I buy much more it'll go to waste) - dinner is usually where I get the…

It depends on the day! Some days I don't feel hungry or can eat really clean foods and have no cravings so I'm fine sticking to the 1200 calories without eating my workout calories. But on some days when I know that I have a big splurge event coming up, I make sure that I burn as many calories as possible while working out…

Awesome!! You guys are already so motivating with everything you've done so far and the goals that you have set for yourself! For those of you who didn't send requests, I will send them to you now! :flowerforyou:

Thanks ladies! :)) Thanks for sending the request Edwardo27 - and runningwoodpe and Jane_1705 I'll be sending you ones now :D Yay support! <3

- what kind of build are you? (small, medium, large) - I'd say a medium size - how much do you currently weigh and what size pants on average do you wear? Well before I went on vacation I was 164 - but since I got back I put on a few pounds that I'm trying to get back down - so probably high 160's right now... I can fit…

Foods like spinach, eggs, berries, apples, black beans, oats, avocado, salmon, broccoli, quinoa, brown rice, green tea, etc. that give your body the nutrients you need and help you be successful losing weight!

Thanks everyone for your feedback!! It is really helpful to have all of that advice, and a lot of it I do try my best to do! The problem for me is PROTEIN! I am a pescatarian (I eat seafood but not meat) so it's not as easy for me to just go with lean meats to get my protein, I have to be a little more creative! I do eat…

Hi Everyone I just saw this post && what a great idea! My names Ashley && I've been on MFP for about 2 years now, but I've really been staying dedicated with it for the past few months and I'm not giving up! My troubled times is I can do really good during the week but come the weekend I have a hard time staying focused…

I quit smoking && It's been a year and a half almost since I've had a cigarette. Was it easy - NO WAY! But you have to remind yourself that this is going to be for the best! You'll smell pretty, you'll be able to push yourself harder with working out, you'll be able to BREATH! Not spending all that ridiculous $$ on…

It constantly depends! But I know when I gained weight things in my relationship did change a little bit - but there were a LOT of other things going on on both of our ends that were making us more stressed out and we weren't focusing on intimacy as much. It made me very self conscious && was always some sort of topic for…

What is the max amount recommended?? Maybe I will try using my HRM when I work out && see what it says! Because maybe my body is getting used to the machine, so even though it's telling me I'm burning a lot - maybe I'm not burning as many as it thinks I am! I actually do take measurements once a month or so - so that is…

I'm down to do this!1 i need the extra motivation! This is the last week in our weight loss program at work AND TOM is in town so I can use that extra push! Weekly Goal: 3500 Mon: calories burned (how they were burned) Tues: calories burned (how they were burned) Wed: calories burned (how they were burned) Thur:calories…

spread it on some celery!! LOVE IT!

Yes, I weigh in - and usually if I can stay on track/not give into the cravings I can lose during TOM - because the week before I usually always am up or have not lost due to water weight - it's so frustrating!!

Whatever works best for you! I know a lot of people say you shouldn't focus on the number but for some that helps to motivate them. But whenever you weigh yourself you want to make sure it's at the same time/same amount of clothing. Usually for me I try to do it in the morning right when I wake up or right after I…

I think the fact of it all that you need to do is LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. If you're feeling exhausted, beat up && like you're pushing yourself too hard - maybe it's because you are. If you are eating back all of your work out calories it's probably not going to be an effective way for you to see results quickly, if at all. My…

Thanks for the feedback - I definitely was thinking a lot about that with the machines and maybe since I have been consuming more of the calories when I work out it's causing me not to lose b/c my deficit isn't as big as I think it is (because maybe I'm not burning that many calories!) I will test that theory this week and…

I'm 24 && you (or anyone else on this board) can send me an add! just shoot a message with it!

that's fine by me!! :)) I just love having the support && people working towards the same goals! :D

I don't know if it's possible for me to still join this - but I've been keeping track of my weight the past few weeks && know my information (and technically it's before the cut off ;)) - I just would like to be part of a challenge if at all possible! If you won't let me in, just let me know - but my information is as…

Hi everyone!! I actually didn't get a chance to weigh myself this morning so I guess I won't have a number for this week :(((

YESSS this week is going by fast && I feel like I'm not going to be successful AT ALL on weigh in - I don't know I just don't feel any "lighter" if that makes any sense?? I've been doing alright - obviously the weekend sucked as usual - but it wasn't as horrible as it has been, but I just wish I could get into a "hardcore"…

YAYYY i'm so excited for you! :D how long will you get to see him for??

good morning everyone!! How did we do over the weekend?! I didn't do HORRIBLE, but I didn't do awesome like usual - I don't know what it is about the weekends that make tracking and not induldging so difficult!! But one day at a time... I didn't make a bust or set myself back a ton or anything like that - just gotta keep…

Hi Everyone TGIF!! It looks likea lot of us maintained this week - WHICH is better than gaining - but I want to see a LOSS next week for myself!! I have 10 more days until my birthday and only 8 more until my party - BLAH!! I'm goign to try my HARDEST to stay in the green because i didn't do that this week!! I REALLY want…
