  • High school teacher here. As some posters have mentioned, I also find it easier to manage my weight when school is in session. I am moving around constantly and really plan what I bring to work. My school is also pretty flexible and I am allowed to use the workout facility before or after school or doing my prep…

  • August 2016! I ordered my dress in the correct size for the body I have- and it will look fine either way, but I really hope to be able to take it in a few sizes by the time it comes in in April. Best of luck to you all! Feel free to add me for support/encouragement, as I could use some as well :)

  • SKINNYTASTE! Almost all of my recipes come from this site. I highly recommend the Filipino Chicken Adobo, Cajun Chicken Pasta, and Chicken Pot Pie Soup (bland but you can add spices/seasoning as you wish). She doesn't use artificial sweeteners, and most recipes taste rich. You wouldn't think that there were any…

  • I have been at this now since August. I have lost about 15 pounds, and maintained during the holidays. Since starting an internship recently, the weight has started falling off again. Here is what worked for me: -I downloaded MFP's mobile app and used it to constantly track food before I ate it. Sometimes doing so stopped…

  • Hello! After looking at your food diary, my best guess is that your exercise calories burned are inflated. When logging fitness activities on here, I typically enter that I did the exercise for a shorter duration (i.e. 45 minutes rather than the hour I actually worked out) in order to get a more accurate calorie burn.…
