Arizona now, California before!

Great job! What is your diet? I'm down 55 since last May (2010) and I workout like crazy. Kind of at a plateau....started at 239....

Seems a little high in carbs..... MFP should calculate what you need based on weight loss goals. If you get your carbs from fruit and veges, cut out white breads, pasta, sugars, you should do fine. Lots of fiber - salads and fruits a couple of times a day. I've lost 52 pounds in a year, but I also work out almost…

And be kind to yourself.... no bad self talk! You can do it and you can control it! Make yourself healthy - for you!

I've lost in excess of 50 lbs in the last year...I swim laps daily, and just started a circuit class with a great teacher who kicks my *kitten*! I am enjoying the pain as I feel like it's doing something. Just keep it up and go every day or as often as you can! I will be 60 in December and it scares me as I'm afraid of…

I've been "eating right", not dieting, for one year and swimming 3-5 x a week for 35 minutes (40 laps or more) and I'm down over 50 lbs - size 22 down to a 14 almost a 12. It's now a way of life - I love MFP as it's easy to track my food. No use in lying to yourself as no one sees your diary unless you want them to. When I…

I don't eat rice but I'd put it on a La Torilla Factory hi fiber low carb tortilla instead...great leftovers! I'll make it this week, also. thanks....add lots of veges, as well!

I've gone from a 22/24 down to a 14 in the last 12 months (55 lbs total so far). I keep buying clothes as I need to as I work in a professional office and have to look nice. It's gotten a bit expensive, however, I love the feeling so I keep on buying. I've looked at consignment and second hand and haven't found much. I…

Right now I'm having trouble eating all the calories, but I agree that the protein is a little low if you are exercising. I am closing to 90-100 gms per day but I'm a lap swimmier and that burns a lot....

When you set up your account, it will ask you your goal weight, your activity level, and how fast you want to lose. Then it will calculate what you need. I think the protein is a bit low but the rest is okay. Go in and play around with the settings...

We all blow it occasionally - that is how we got over weight in the first place, making bad choices. You cannot beat yourself up at any point - just keep moving forward and working on it....

I saute my chicken on the stove, usually 3 or 4 breasts at a time. After the 2nd day (cuz I get sick of chicken) I put it in the food processor with celery, apples and light mayo. Put it on a high fiber, low carb wrap. Awesome chicken salad.... Low the La Tortilla Factory wraps - they taste great and are good calorie/carb…

Thats what their box says, however, I track my blood sugar and when I tried it, my glucose went crazy just like real pasta. If you look at the box carefully, it says "other something....can't remember what" but they are not being truthful. Dangerous is someone is diabetic and believes them.

Low carb is the only thing that works for me.....I am extremely careful. I began dieting last May @ 239 lbs. I'm at 193 now. I swim at minimum every other day 40 laps and do water aerobics two nights a week as well. The swimming I believe has really helped me get in shape. I want to get to 170 and stay there a while, I…

I have been taking "Tenuate" since last May and have lost 45 lbs. It doesn't really work anymore as you do build up a tolerance, so I only take it every few days. I have been swimming laps almost daily and that has made a huge difference in my weight loss and shaping up. I think anything you can do to help you get through…
-
I don't eat my calories back either....I try to eat exactly what they tell me but not the exercise calories as that doens't make sense to me. To lose weight we have to cut calories and increase exercise so I don't get the logic of "eating exercise calories".
-
at the grocery store they have bags of dried mixed beans...soak them over night and then make your favorite soup recipe, adding the beans instead of any pasta or rice. Much healthier for you..... I make a tuscan soup that has tomatoes, italian sausage, and tons of veges. It calls for beans rather than pasta and I love it!…

Swimming laps is helping me - lose weight and fat, but I know that when I lose the rest, I will need to have my stomach/arms/thights tightened up. I've lost 42 lbs since May and lots of inches by swimming 40 laps a day....it's amazing. I know it's not the end. But going from a size 22 to a 16 has been great!

drink lots of water and go to bed! Get in bed with a book or whatever, then you can't eat...
