I was just wondering about this topic too. Lately I skip breakfast and just have coffee, this frees up a lot of calories for later in the day so when I cook I feel less like I am on a diet. In the morning I plan out my food for the day on MFP while I drink coffee. Yesterday I decided to experiment and see how things were…

I usually buy thighs because in my market they are always so much cheaper than the more popular breast meat. I don't think it's too hard to balance out if you serve it with veggie sides.

Have you tried creating your own recipes on MFP? You can input all of the ingredients you add while cooking and then how many servings. If I cook that dish again then its already ready to log.

You look amazing! Thank you for posting this. I think it is really encouraging because I am also doing home workouts.

I was overweight before I got pregnant, and though I gained a normal amount of weight I looked SO BIG! My five year old niece was so interested in the pregnancy, so I would let her go into the OB's office with me when we were doing basic stuff. We were sitting in the examination room alone I was explaining to her that we…

I agree with the others that you might not be getting enough calories. It seems counter-intuitive but I notice a big difference when I am eating enough! Even if its just adding a couple of small snacks or something. I did not know that we could log breastfeeding so I am going to try that!

Uh. I think we already shame people enough. I was ashamed to let people see me eating, ashamed to wear a swimsuit, ashamed to be seen at the gym. Now that I could care less what anyone thinks about my weight I do whatever I want, including physical activity in public places. So I think shaming doesn't work, acceptance is a…

I just started the beginners calendar and I am SO SORE. Omg my abs, ow, ow, ow!!!

Is it the lactose or the milk itself that you are having problems with? If it's just the lactose then there is some dairy that may not bother you. I only have a hard time with lactose if I am sick, but greek yogurt and hard cheeses don't bother me even if I am more sensitive to it.

Thank you for posting your journey. I'm currently where you used to be and it's really helpful to see that yes it's possible - others have done it. I too have been overweight most of my life.
