Well, I've been drinking 6 glasses of water and 2 cups of coffee everyday for about 3 weeks and I am still in the bathroom all the time, plus at least 1-2 times a night. So I'm beginning to give up hope that I will ever adjust to all the water but, it's better to drink all that water and have to go bathroom than to not get…

I also struggle with this, as well. I hate to be negative but at the same time I want to help them and I also want to have friends that are equally as supportive as I am for them. I think that if it is a constant thing with them and they aren't being supportive of you, I don't see any reason that you should feel guilty…

Thanks everyone for your great advice and tips! I have been doing squats and lunges with a toning band with Leslie Sansone for about 5 weeks, I think and then I have been doing wall push ups, so at least I am headed in the right direction from the sounds of it. YAY! I'll be sure to check out the 10 minute videos, Jillian…

Yesterday eggs were bad for us and now cheese! What will be next.....broccoli? LOL!

Thanks for sharing! :smile:

I am in the same boat! My thighs and butt are definitely my problem area! My upper bidy is small and my lower body is big. I can not seem to get any smaller than a size 16! Although, I still have 35 more pounds to lose and my thighs are tons smaller than they were 115 pounds ago! Just gets frustrating to get stuck in a…

You look amazing!!! I hope to someday look like you!! Awesome job!

Sounds like your body is in starvation mode. Too many calories being burned and not enough fuel. Try eating more. I know it sounds crazy but it works!

I never have time for breakfast because I have so much to get done in the morning before work so, I drink an Atkins low carb shake on my way to work or even at my desk first thing. They are filling and delicious and are even low carb. They are 160 calories, have 15g of protien and have 1g of sugar. The Dark Chocolate is my…

The reason is, that there are very few 0 calorie foods. When in fact, most foods have 1-4 calories and are labeled as 0 calorie foods because of the FDA guidelines. According to FDA guidelines, if a food has 4 calories or less per serving, they can label the food as a 0 calorie food. Believe it or not, Splenda packets have…

Sounds delicious!! I am also going to try it with applesauce instead of oil and add a dash of cinnamon! I'll bet, if you aren't a fan of bananas, you could also substitute pumpkin in it's place. Yum! Can't wait to try it!! Thanks!!!

I have lost a considerable amount of weight and yes my fingers did too! I am not getting mine sized down until I lose all that I want to lose because, each time you resize them, whether it's bigger or smaller, it weakens the band. The more times you resize it, the higher the risk is that the band could become fragile and…

Go 49ers!!

I love my Fitbit! It really gets me moving to get in all those extra steps each day! I'm not sure on the accuracy, I assume it's pretty accurate. it's really great because you don't need to log your exercise on MFP because it does it for you and you just continue to log your food on MFP like usual. Plus, anyone you know…

My favorites are the Hungry Girl cookbooks. She covers meals and snacks and she even has a show on Food Network. :smile:

Ok, I'm a chocaholic! So I eat chocolate everyday! I eat 90 calorie fiber one bars - chocolate and chocolate peanut butter and they are awesome! I also enjoy Atkins Dark Chocolate shakes. I don't know if you have a DQ near you but they have an awesome fat free fudge bar that's only 50 calories! Fat free chocolate pudding…

I workout 6-7 times a week and I leave it at a Sedentary setting because after I do my daily workout, all I do is sit at my desk for the most part. I am pretty sure that these settings are referring to your activity outside of working out, like your job type, and does not include the exercise as being active. I may be…

A new tatt for me too! Although, I'd also take a few nips and tucks! LOL!

We actually love and embrace our paleness! LOL! It's part of our irish-austrian heritage. In fact, we often tell people that we are clear not pale! LOL! Plus, we have a history of melanoma on both sides of our family so we avoid the sun. Well, at least that's what we tell people so they won't suspect that we are really…

You look so amazing!!! I am so proud of you! You are doing a fantastic job and I am honored to be your MFP friend! You are such an inspiration to all of us! Keep up the Excellent work! This is your year!!! You are going to hit your goal in no time!!! I can feel it!

I'm so sorry. That makes me sad.

I'm not even sure how to comment on how rude this gift was! Especially since they were specifically asked not to give you candy! I'm thinking they are unhappy about their weight so they are trying to sabotage you!

I never thought of doing that to my Lean Cuisine! Excellent idea! Especially when the Lean Cuisines can run around 300 calories and sometimes aren't very filling. Thanks for sharing!

WTG Heather!!! You are doing great! You've lost 19 pounds since the challenge began and there is still 6 days until Christmas! I'm still racing you! LOL! I'm confident that you and I will lose another few more pounds before Sunday! I'll keep motivating you! :wink:

You are still doing great! After all, you lost 23 pounds since the beginning of the challenge! That's fantastic! Don't give up, you'll get through the holidays and we are all here to help support you! :flowerforyou:
