  • I don't record exactly what I eat in MFP, but on paper, then just do a quick input so you can't see what I eat. I shoot for 1200, end up around 1400 most days. B: 1 egg + 2 whites + 1 piece gf bread = around 200 L: enormous salad or tomato/broth based soup w/ lean chicken breast = around 400 S: fruit or popcorn (Vic's…
  • I agree about the fruits. NOt counting fruits is ridiculous, because you can eat a lot of calories that way. I just think the points makes everything very confusing. It's so much easier to just count calories and you don't have to depend on someone else (WW) to tell you what to eat. You can do it yourself. Plus their meal…

I have found I need massive quantities of low-cal veggies, like a bag of roasted broccoli as a side for dinner, to feel truly full and…
  • I'm in! Our YMCA is doing a challenge so that's helping me too. I'm at 405 min this week.
  • You can do it! I've had 3 kids and lost the weight with each one. It takes time (for me up to a year, but I wasn't all out focused like I could have been) but you can absolutely do it. I'm now trying to lose the last 15 and tone up my core. One thing I've found for me is joining the YMCA with childcare that I like has been…
  • There's a Jillian Michael's video called something about a 20 minute workout. It's got some GREAT, hard as all get out, strength moves. You only need one set of weights (I used 10 and did as many as I could then stopped, but I got stronger to where I could do all reps with 10). Most exercises are done with body weight. You…
