BUT they still DO IT!!! When you LOSE weight your pants are LOOSE!!

For 1200 you must be small, sedentary, and wanting to lose 2# a week. I like to eat and stall if not eating well. I am set for 1580 and eat back some of my exercise calories. I have been maintaining for a long time but did have a loss when I upped my calories. Hoping eating more will decrease my loss of control days and…

I LOVE LA, from San Diego mind you! Favorite stay-cation place. I love looking at the beautiful people in LA and wonder how much surgery they have had. Don't be fooled into thinking they have something you don't. Many are surrounded by shallow folks who will leach onto the next best thing as soon as it it hits the screen…

Hate to tell you this but it is physically impossible to lose 4-5 pounds of fat in one week so you definitely dropped water weight. If it helps you eventually lose actual pounds and maintain that loss then yeah! But it is not a sustainable eating habit, just a quick start.

<<Check it out! Banana and Greek yogurt! Bruleed the banana with a bit of brown sugar in non-stick pan then topped with greek yogurt and dusted with cinnamon sugar!

I think it is great to be a donor....so many people can't have children. Good luck!

Vegetarians who eat a variety of foods really can get quite enough iron and protein. Quinoa, beans, greens are super healthy. I have lots of meatless days but really enjoy fish so I would never give it all up but I do try to pound the veggies in!

Incredibly weird..... Over estimate your food numbers. underestimate your exercise. If you try to take calories off your food for odd things like rinsing ground beef then you probably aren't measuring as well as you should and those calories can add up.

Pierce it in a couple spots with a knife and stick it in the microwave for 12 minutes for a large one. Let it rest then split and pull out the meat.

Toss up between the cat pushing the kid off the bed and this one for nearly making me pee my pants!

Kid deserved it!!!! Cat is like..."that's all ya got?!" SMACK!

Yes. That is why you get weird ads (mostly driven by your searches on your computer as well as trigger words you use in any posts you make). On those days when it is slow or down for a bit, be patient cause they are working on it but there is a huge data base here and it is a job to keep it all together. Congrats for…

Sorry but as a nurse in the psych field I totally disagree. Food is just as addicting and is being tampered with by the big companies to become even more so. We have to most difficult addiction to overcome because you "need" no other addictive substance to survive but you need food. Congrats to the OP!

eggs, steel cut oatmeal, cut fruit and yogurt for beakfasts Kale stands up to being dressed ahead of time so I make kale, quinoa, chickpeas, peppers with lemon juice and oil salad and have in fridge. I pre-roast brussel sprouts and use frozen plain veggies. Thin slicing potatoes and layering them in a pan with onions and…

You've been here since December and lost 4#, what's the big hurry now? You will crash and burn as 600 is not sustainable and diet pills are stupid all the way around. If you had been eating healthy since joining you would already be down more than 4#. EAT HEALTHY! EAT CLEAN! EAT AT LEAST YOUR BMR!

You look so different!!! Younger and sexier...and you will be able to do so much more with your daughter!!

Thanks, I feel so much better too. PS, you might have used your weight to hide before and you will need to get more comfortable being "seen"

Too much processed foods...try more natural items, fish, chicken and fruits and veggies. Quality of food will help get you off the plateau. I use no fake sweeteners either and finally started losing after months of not. Food scale, measuring cups and heart rate monitor too.

AND you still have all your teeth!

I am dedicated to MFP vs addicted :wink:

Most people can't hear my Prius come up on them without headphones...... I love music but if you are on the street only use one earbud, safer that way.

As much as I believe that we should lose weight for our own satisfaction, losing for and with our family is even btter and more necessary. Teach your children well.

Technically you could lose weight by soaking in the tub all day and never eating but I would not suggest it..... If your liver and kidneys are "sluggish" then you are ill. Drink water and eat real food in slightly less amounts then you burn and you will lose weight. This was very entertaining!

Great progress! I love the darker hair! Be sure to plan a special Thank You gift to yourself when you hit onederland!

I put a tablespoon of creamy peanut butter (almond butter of that Speculous Butter from Trader Joe's) into 8-12 oz of insweetened vanilla almond milk and enjoy as a hot drink.....super yummy!

Must have been sarcasm.....right?

I have two things I order on line from Perel...their orange cilantro grape seed oil and the tequila lime vinegar. I sprinkle a bit of these on carrots with garam marsala and cinnamon, salt and roast in oven or bbq. I make my own dressings with these. Blend an avocado with the lime vinegar for a fablous creamy dressing! I…

Yes, therefore the whole idiocy of "Medical Marijuana". A pothead is a pothead and marinol is the component of pot that is an appetite stimulant so weight loss is only possible if you smoke so much you forget where the fridge is....

WATER is the only true cleanser....eat healthy and drink water! No magic.....

My gym (Chuze Fitness) is very easy going, helpful and not judgmental. We are all there for the same reason, just at different stages.
