yes some do definately cause weight gain. i was on one about 8 yrs ago before my first daughter was born. it made me gain like 40 lbs in maybe 6 months. that's more than i gained when i was pregnant! but it was so gradual that i didn't realize it till it was on me. i notice it when i had got new jeans for christmas and…

buckeye, first of all my thoughts and prayers are with you. second i know how you feel. my family is trying to play catch up my husband was off work all last summer no unemployment or anything. then he did finally find something was there for 3 months then got laid off again. he finally now has a full time job that i think…

ok i have actually been confused on this too, so don't feel bad bee! by the way the dog in your pic is adorable! what kind is it? anyway, so i got tired of trying to figure it out and figured if i just stick with what the site tells me to eat then i would be ok. until i weighed at the docs and the number was up. then i…

mmm, my mouth is watering already thanks so much!:flowerforyou:

hey i love pasta salad so i was wondering if anyone here knows a good recipe for it in a healthy way(if there is such a thing!) i don't know if there is one posted in the recipes, but i figured this may be easier than trying to read through all of them. thanks in advance!

hey guys! i guess i'm back. i tried to stay away because i am very discouraged, but couldn't. i went to the drs on fri like i said. i was feeling good. hoping to see that the scale had dropped a lot, but planning at least on a little. instead it was up:sad: the last time i weighed myself was about 2 wks ago on my moms…

thanks for thinking of me!:heart: i have the recipe wrote down didn't make it to the grocery store yet. i will let you know when i try it though. very anxious to try it and to see if my kids will eat it!:wink: although i think my 6 year old will she eats about anything!

i know exactly what you mean. the funny thing is that i have always said that i didn't care what number was on the scale or on my clothes as long as i felt good. and that is normally my feeling i guess that i was just expecting the same or a little lower number on the scale and when i saw that it was higher i got…

WOW! thanks alot everyone that definately helps! it also makes me feel kind of dumb that i didn't realize all that stuff had fiber:ohwell:

this may sound dumb and i guess i could just go to the store and look myself but i already take long enough as it is. so i thought maybe i could ask for some good foods that have fiber in them because i think i need to add more to my diet. i did try the carmel delight fiber one cereal which was very good, but would i be…

ok so i have no idea what is going on or what i am doing wrong. i have been on this sight for about a month now. i know that i have lost inches (about 2-3) when i measure and can tell by my clothes. i don't own a scale so can't do daily weights, i just usually get on my moms when i'm there. i went to the doctors today and…

hey all i may need lots of support later or maybe lots of cheers! i go to the docs today at 4:00pm(et) so i will actually get on a scale again after about 2 weeks. i really hope i see a difference if i don't i will really get discouraged. i think either way i may talk to her and tell her that i am trying this and see what…

sparkles it;s too bad we didn't live near each other we sounds like 2 peas in a pod!:laugh: i can't seem to find the motivation either, especially since the weather has been cool and icky here lately i can't even get my walks in! i seem to excercise better when i have someone to do it with. like i will go all day and think…

ok i need help with the water. i started out doing good and that was all i was drinking,but now i just seem to be tired of it. i never really liked plain water at least not that much. is ways to spice it up and it still be benefit me?

I have this same problem too! and it drives me nuts because i will eat even if i'm not hungry. but night is my time, the kids are in bed, hubby goes to work and i have the tv and can eat in peace!:wink: and i have the problem that i need to eat while watching tv! so some things that i hvae found to help are i try to leave…

hey there! yeah i'm still here! i wasn't planning on leaving you, i figured the more challenges i was in maybe the more motivation i would have! anyway, speaking of clothes fitting, i had to work yesterday and i have been wearing capris lately because of it being warm. yesterday wasn't as warm so i had put on my kakis that…

hey all, so i'm ready for a new challenge, but either most have already started or i don't seem to fit into them. most of them have you weighing in and i dont own a scale so it's kind of hard for me to join in with them! so i'm looking for a challenge, if anyone has any ideas or any that i can join in with please let me…

first of all thank you for your help!:flowerforyou: let me just bounce this back to make sure that i got it. so since mfp is telling me to eat 1200 cals a day then that means they already calculated what i would normally burn in a day? so how do i know how much i am burning during a normal day to equal my 3500? i don't…

i read in one of the posts that in order to lose 1 pound you need to burn 3500 cals? did i read that right? if so than that would mean since i want to lose 2 pounds a week i would have to burn 7000 cals a week? :huh: i think i have this messed up or something because that doesn't make any sense. so please help clear this…

thanks everyone!:flowerforyou: so it does sound like i'm on the same page(at least with those that responded!) and that i'm on the right track. which is good to know because i don't think i could give the good things up. so i guess i'm doing good than because i have been logging everything in and trying to exercise…

ok so here is my question. i LOVE food, but of course it doesn't love me!!:laugh: anyway, i do want to lose weight, but i don't want to give up the food that i like or completely change my eating. i know that this is sounding bad so far, but keep reading! while i will admit to not eating completely healthy i won't say that…

i hate weekends only beacause they seem so hard for me. during the week i am on my own until supper so it's pretty easy, but then the weekend comes and i'm doing family stuff or get togethers and it gets difficult! i'm not saying that i go crazy, but i do tend to eat more. although i USUALLY manage to stay under cals.

i currently do not own a scale. so i have just kind of been judging by measurements and clothing. i do weigh myself when i get to my moms( so i would estimate at least 2 times a amonth) should i invest and own a scale or doesn't it really matter? i mean i am not really obsessed with hitting a certain number, but i am…

ok, ok, i get it! i'm too cheap to spend the money anyway! i guess i'm just frustrated right now and i feel lke i'm getting nowwhere! like i FEEL good then i look at myself and it's like uhg:frown:

i understand what you are saying about oprah having to work out just like we do, but i can't afford a personal trainer or someone to cook the right food for me. heck i can barely afford food! :smile: plus she doesn't have a job and house and family to keep up with. so i don't think a little aid in losing weight is a bad…

i'm from pennsylvania about 20 mins away from penn state!

i feel for you and i am here for you also:flowerforyou: good luck to you in whatever you choose, i am sure you will be able to handle it! i don't really want to say too much because i don't want to seem like i'm telling you to go one way or the other. if you decide to stay i agree with what someone else said you need to…

thanks for welcoming me! i need all of the support i can get. i was doing really good for my first 2 weeks here, but now i feel the need to eat again. i don't know if it is because of coming off the weekend(they are so hard with a family) or if it is just that time of month. i don't own a scale though is that a problem? i…

hi i haven't been on to any of your other posts, but is it still possible for me to join in!

thanks everyone! you have been very helpful!:flowerforyou:
