Why not try a different form of dance that's not so grueling? Belly dancing? Zumba? Hip Hop? Lots of YouTube videos for you to try on your own without being committed. Get the kids involved in making meals. They will be much more apt to eat something that they helped prepare. Don't make major changes overnight and expect…

How much do I dread being on the treadmill? I had to do a timed mile for a challenge today. I did it outside in my driveway in sub-zero windchill on a snow pack. LOL I've decided that what makes the treadmill so boring for me is the lack of visual stimulation so here's what I do: I tune my Asus tablet into my favorite…

Way to go, Jen! Congratulations on reclaiming your life and being the best "YOU" that you can be. Thank you for sharing your inspiring story with us! :)

Thanks for posting! Sounds like just the chicken breast change I need this week. What's the best way to bake this in the oven? Have you tried? Thank you.

I, too, would suggest low potassium and trying a V8 to see if that helps. Good luck! http://www.mayoclinic.org/symptoms/low-potassium/basics/definition/sym-20050632

Thanks for taking the time to post this. I was wondering if I should go this route or stick with my old fashioned pedometer. Knowing my obsessive/compulsive tendencies, I shall remain old fashioned!

I'm also 5' 9" and have been using your same eating window for months now. It's made a tremendous difference in my weight loss and I feel like I have FINALLY found the magic potion for my body. I've never felt better! Good luck to you. :drinker:

I only have coffee and water during those hours. I usually eat "breakfast" (mostly consisting of foods typically eaten at lunch) between 11:30 and 1pm depending on my hunger level. I eat 1/3 to half my calories then, maybe a light snack a couple hours later. I have another coffee around 2pm followed by dinner between 5 &…

You look AMAZING, big brother! Keep up the great work. :drinker:

" dieting at any level is not going to help you lose weight if you are overweight." I can certainly testify to that over the last 20 years of fad, yo-yo dieting. I think we at MFP KNOW diets indeed DON'T work, so I would have to agree with that statement and ultimately, the study. Having said that, they need to update…

I've been doing IF for a few months now and it's been a tremendous help for me. I usually break my fast between 11:30am - 1:00pm. 7pm is my cut off on most days, but once in a while I'll have a light snack a little later in a social setting. Generally, I eat two large meals with light snacks in between. (Fruit, yogurt,…

I only read the first page of replies, and if you don't listen to anyone else, listen to Hail Dodger. He told you exactly as it is. YOU already know in your heart that this man doesn't deserve you. MOVE. ON.

The perfect Sunday morning post! And thanks to MFP, the 2 lovingly glazed, sour dough Spudnuts that I used to eat on the weekend remain in the case......at the store....waiting for someone else to eat them! Continued success on your journey. :drinker:

I never even heard of IF until I joined MFP back in September. IF has been key to my weight loss success! I can't say enough good about the effect it's had on me and I only started it about 2 months ago. I'm your opposite though - for me it's "breakfast" I don't need. For decades I forced myself to eat breakfast first…

Potatoes. Potatoes. Potatoes. I LOVE them in every shape and form and I eat them regularly. Four things I will NEVER give up: Potatoes Bacon Mayonnaise Anything else. It's calorie deficit. Pure and simple. Consume fewer calories than your body needs to maintain your current weight. You lose. The End.

About a month ago, I made this recipe for the first time. It's AWESOME and EASY! I had hubby take some to our son and he loved it so much that he sent me a text from work! (That's a big deal because he never does that. LOL) From Food.com. (Link Below) 299.9 calories per serving Ingredients: Serves: 4 Yield: 18 tacos Units:…

Awesome job, girl! Congrats and continued success to you!

Pre-logging really works for me. I especially like to log things like my coffee. With the added cream, it's 44 calories for my "mega mug". I have three a day so that adds up! I log all three of those first thing in the morning. Then I pre-log any little snacks that I'm going to have, ie., I know I'm eating a truffle later,…

Congratulations to each and every one of you! You ALL have done an amazing job. Wishing you all continued success.

Short answer: Yes! I think reducing your caloric intake ahead of time is a great idea. I lost 60 lbs during the summer of 2012. Stopped smoking in late Nov of that year and regained 30 of those in about 6 months time. Good for you looking to quit. For the record, I'm glad I quit - even if it it did cost me 30 pounds of…

You look awesome! Wonderful job and congratulations! I'm 5' 9" and approaching where you started from, so I find it particularly inspiring to me. Thanks for sharing, and much continued success!
