I love the Lentil soup with fat free sour cream, salt and pepper and the new 3-bean chili. YUM!

Here is something you can make ahead - calories depend on what ingredients you use... Pie crust or crescent roll tub spread out in a pie plate (use the low-fat version) whisk 6 eggs (or equivalent in Egg Beaters/Egg Whites) with low-fat cheese (1/2-1 cup), fresh or defrosted frozen spinach, mushrooms and either turkey…

I drink diet soda or water not regular soda or tea or lemonade. If i get the munchies, I pop a Mentos Pure chewing gum instead of snack foods. I only stock my office with 100 calorie packs, small pieces of dark chocolate, nuts, etc. instead of entire boxes of full calorie snacks. I bring my lunch instead of eating out -…

Place pork chops in crock pot, top…

:smile: Remember, you could have been building muscle which weighs more. As long as your clothes fit better, don't worry about what the scale says. Your clothes will tell you whether the running is working!

I use the weekend to stop "counting" calories (i.e., logging it all into MFP) - now that i have been doing this for a few months, I know what I should/shouldn't eat, but i do allow for some frozen yogurt with toppings, or a cookie that I made with my daughter on the weekends... without counting it.. Been working for me so…

I enter it after I eat it. A lot of the time, I don't even eat an entire serving of something. This way, I can be as accurate as possible and only enter exactly what I ate.
-
I am in the same boat, lost 20, need to lose 20 more. I just started the Couch-to-5K program (and I can't run much either), but it allows you to walk the entire way. It helps to do the program, because it makes you get out there, meet people and gets you moving. Here in GA, it is HOT and I sweated more last Thursday than I…

I am a Twilighter, so I love those. :blushing: I am a historical romance person - I have to think too much at work that when I read, I don't want to have to think too much. LOL I love Elizabeth Lowell, Nickolas Sparks, The Sookie Stackhouse series (True Blood), Th Other Boleyn Girl and the prequels/sequels, Harlan Coben is…

They will lift your spirits when you are down, they understand your pain/struggles, if you have a bad week no one will chastise you for it - they tell you this is a new week. It is a great support system!
-
I get carnitas (roasted pork) - they come with corn tortillas, and I eat one of those... Get pico, little quac (or fresh avacado), limes and some lettuce and you are good to go! Very filling and yummy!

I have only had one month since I have started this, and that week I actually lost 3 lbs! Because I was bloated, I wasn't as hungry, so my caloric intake was less and I still did low impact exercise (Wii Fit). I am about to start again, so I am curious to see if this happens each time or not. I also drank more water,…

I struggle with the night-time cravings as well. I either suffer through it (no fun), or have a bowl of cereal (Special K with chocolate, Raisin Bran, etc) with very cold milk. It curbs the sweet craving (but may not help with the chocolate craving).
-
I am in the same boat. I had gestational diabetes while pregnant with my daughter and have since gained weight - which led to pre-diabetes. I have been doing this for 5 weeks and lost 18 pounds so far. I still have my moments/days of weakness, but we have such a great support group on here.
-
I am trying to lose 40 pounds total, I am down 18 so far! I have a 3 1/2 year old and I work full time. I also had a c-section, so we have a lot in common. I just sent a friend request your way. :wink:
-
I suffer as well. I have medicines, but I don't take them like I should. What is funny, is when I was eating bad (greasy foods), I was "normal". Ever since I started eating healthy, my IBS has kicked in again. I too am a once a week person. Very frustrating ad uncomfortable. I will try the Miralax and see how that works…

I used canned green beans with Ham (Jamon) bullion. Or I make a dish that has the canned green beans and potatoes with diced tomatoes and turkey kielbasa. You can also make them in the crockpot, with 6 cans (3 drained, 3 undrained), layering uncooked turkey bacon, onion and beef bullion. Cook for several hours - YUMMY!
-
I try not to drink it, but when I do, I count it as water and list the packet in my food.
-
I lost almost 5lbs my first week! It was water weight! It lasted the first 2 weeks, now it is less and less each week.
-
Well, I only lost 0.4 lbs this week, but I did not gain, so I will take it as a success. My calories were lowered this week so, this should be interesting!
-
Worried about tomorrow morning's weigh in after the July 4th weekend. I will be happy just not to have gained anything. I am almost positive I did not lose anything. More like maintaining!
-
I wear my shoes unless I am doing the Wii Fit that involves using the board. I hurt my feet going barefoot, so I started wearing the shoes to give me more support.
-
You have come to a great place to do that. We are all here for you!

I found some ideas on this site: http://ezinearticles.com/?Healthy,-Nutritious-Low-Calorie-and-Low-Fat-Snacks-on-the-Go---Watch-Your-Weight-and-Your-Health&id=3355930 Hope they help!

I enjoy my Wii Fit! My husband and I are very competitive and this feeds it. :happy: However, for weight loss - it will take more than this to do any good. I usually do my Wii Fit on days when I don't feel good, or I was running errands and it is too late to do anything else. It helps burn some calories, but not as much as…

***These are just my observations from the last week's worth of entries***** 1) Most days you are not eating ENOUGH calories! If you set your goal to lose 1-2 lbs a week, the site calculates the number of calories you should intake (net). That number is there to help you lose the weight you have set your goal to. Eat the…

That is a success! Congrats!
-
lost 5.8 pounds since last week! That is 9.2 pounds so far!!! YAY!

100 Calorie packs (there are so many varieties now) or Sugar Fee Jell-O pudding. Some of the Skinny Cow ice creams are good too.
