Are you weighing your liquids correctly? Well measuring....I thought that whole milk has alot more calories then 40.....I pre measure my creamer for my coffee and one tablespoon is 35 calories

First off you are still in week 1, going into week 2...It takes 4 weeks to see any changes really....so patience is a virtue

Oh I didnt realize that dietitians help also with pregnancy's.

How long should the challenge last for? 30 days, 60 days 90 days...Til June 21st for most of us Summer?? Ideas for challenges?

I never smoked but how about one thing at a time? Quit first eat normal see if you gain weight from it and if you are then create a safe and healthy deficit to lose weight

Are you in the US? Have you tried to get onto WIC? Plus their nutritionist would recommended what to eat as well...Not that your doctor cant but if anything seek a nutritionist as well to see what they say

No not yet thats why I decided to do something to combat it.....I do however suffer from joint pain and other related pains due to Chronic Lyme Disease

Awesome!! I think you all can invite others if you want if not pass the name along to me and Ill do it

5"3 CW 179-180.....Hoping to get down to at least 145ish and then see where to go from there

I got the idea from the group that we were in...Kinda sad to see it end. But I think that instead of booting people out if they dont participate then they just wont be apart of the winners....I understand we all have bad weeks months or days and not everyone can do things consistently but would like active members and to…

I combine mine with calisthenics, sit ups, squats ect ect....MFP already has that in the database for instance last night I did about 5 mins of light weights and 10 mins of squats and sit ups so I put in 15 mins for the whole time... I figure I dont stop in between lifting weights and Im standing so Im burning some calories

I know how you feel! thats why Im taking it one day at a time...I keep on reading "you didnt gain an X amount over night" so it wont come off over night.....I was told the that losing only about 1 lb a week that in the long run my body will keep at maintance once I get there

What do you mean dive in? Did you dive in last time and go too aggressive? If you did then thats why you gained the weight back and dont you think that this time around you should do it more slowly?

Isnt that being hypocritical? Saying dont skip a meal but one sentence later saying drink something hot...Im guessing you do this to keep you feeling full? How about water doesnt that keep you feeling full? Granted I could never give up my coffee in the morning but I always have that first and wait a couple of hours before…

January 6th Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? yes Did I exercise for 20+ minutes? yes back to walking and calisthenics today Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? yes

I agree with you but dont forget for those who are also suffering from other alignments such as Chronic Lyme Disease which result in joint and pain issues....But then again thats another topic

in so I can read the responses later

I thought that cellulite has to do with blood flow and not being skinny/ fat or non muscular/muscular thats why they say that when others are "skinny" they still can have cellulite

Haha thats like oh best time to work out is in the morning before eating anything...Yea whatever I work out whenever I feel like it and Im still losing weight

Have you ate in the past 70 weeks?

Just remember as you lose weight your body will need less calories to consume so about ever 10 lbs or so re calculate and more then likely itll go down

You are going to more then likely get many responses to this on whether to skip breakfast or not. Personally its all up to you. Eat when you are hungry, eat at a deficit and lose the weight. If eating breakfast continues to put you over on your calories then skip it. But if it doesnt then go ahead and eat it. Some days I…

Not necessarily. How active are you? What weight loss goal did you set MFP to? If you are sedentary to lightly active then you will consume less calories. If you highly active and working out alot then youll consume more calories

I feel your pain! When I first joined I was 186, jumped up to 192 and Im the same height as you. At first wasnt seeing any changes that I started to. From October to now I lost over 10 lbs, just never recorded my highest weight so thats why it says only a 6 lb lost on my ticker, but I keep on fluctuating past week or so. I…

you know you can drink a plant based protein shake with water

January 5th Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? yes Did I exercise for 20+ minutes? yes Did I keep track of everyting I ate and drank? yes So glad to get away from the soda again. I was doing good til Christmas week, lack of sleep I needed more caffine and protein drinks to give me energy

SW 179 week 2 179.5 week 3 180 Havent got much exercise in last week since my oldest is still out of school til tomorrow plus its been brutally cold for a few days. Hoping by tomorrow to get my butt moving again

I tend to sample taste new dishes when I first cook them...As I know the taste I dont do it time and time again but other then that like the others said. I still cook and eat normally and just like my family, I just eat alot less, smaller portions now. Last night I made soup and believe it or not I took out a measuring cup…

I found this site to be more helpful on how many calories I should be at. MFP gave me 1200 also when I first joined... I did my own trial and error and saw that I average between 1400 and 1500 so I stick closer to 1400-1450 cuz this one says I shouldnt go below 1420....I applaud you for reaching out and realizing you might…

I cook 95% of the time for 2 other adults and my kids, my picky one well shes an exception... I never stopped cooking the things that I like to eat, if my step dad or mom doesnt like something that I like to eat they know how to cook and make their own food.....Remember you dont need to cut out food just cut back on…
