  • Good luck on your journey. I also have had success in the past with MFP and fell off. I'm starting over with a goal of 90ish pounds overall to lose and a goal of losing 15-20lbs by my wedding in April.
  • I just completed week 1 and my legs definitely feel it! I bought insanity because it's similar to some bootcamp classes I was going to and enjoyed that had become too inconvenient to work into the schedule. With insanity I can do it whenever and it's great cardio! Was sad that I didnt lose any weight on week 1 but going to…
  • Yes Bmoremama! I had to do that recently. That's how I put on the last few pounds before I started this journey I think. Eating the same plate as a 6'2'' muscular man is not the best plan for a 5'6'' female! That has helped!

The shake tastes like Swiss miss and keeps you full for several hours and the Lite version has 220calories I think. I also keep a box of prepackaged Oatmeal at work. When I do…
  • Thanks for all the great ideas. Today I checked out TJ Maxx and Walmart. Hope to go elsewhere tomorrow. Results: the TJ Maxx here does not carry plus size activewear. Walmart seemed to have already been raided due to tax free weekend. They didn't have anything for me today, but I did see where Danskin goes from XS to 4X.…
  • Thanks everyone for the great ideas! It's tax-free weekend here starting tomorrow and now I have some places to check out! Thanks again!
  • Great job. I'm just starting and am at a similar start weight. Thanks for the motivation!
  • Been looking for some recipes to change up lunch...getting board. All these ideas were excellent. Can't wait to try the above recipe from one of the other posts as well as some others.
