I have been on and off dieting. Lifetime WW member but not one of those diets were sustainable. I have been gluten free since 2012 but still had stomach issues. After much research I started Keto (Proper Human Diet) and lost the weight I tried so hard to do with other diets and failed. I am now living and maintaining on…

I found Jessica Smith TV on You Tube. I love working out with these. There are a ton of free workouts on there including working out by your body type. There are weight training and or just stretching. Check out her webpage jessicasmithtv.com or do a search on Pinterest. You can also purchase her DVD on Amazon.

FB has so much drama now and it always will. That is one of the reasons I am not addicted to it anymore and don't go on very much. I don't understand why people post such personal comments on there anyway. In my opinion if they post for everyone to see then they should expect to see comments whether it is from family or…

Sweating is just a way to cool your body down. You may lose water weight but it is temporary. You need to hydrate yourself again. I am not an expert but it is just what I have read and heard.

I try to keep mine at around 30

I love eggs too. I have to limit them because of cholesterol but I think I heard on Dr Oz.having one a day is fine.

A friend of mine just had the same thing. Her calf was really hurting. She could hardly walk. We told her to go get it checked out to make sure it wasn't a blood clot. She went to the ER and she had a sprain. She has no idea how she did it.

Welcome. This site is very addicting for many of us. I am sure it will be for you too. You will get a lot of support, motivation, and encouragement here. Good luck with your weight loss goals.

Do you really think that anyone will notice if you fit in THAT dress? I would go buy another dress. There are plenty out there that would look flattering on you and makes you look slimmer. It just is not healthy to lose 10 lbs in 8 days. I am not trying to be mean by asking this but did you just find out about this party?…

Here is a recipe from spark people I use all the time. Everyone I give the recipe to loves it. http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=400146

Have the wine. Don't deprive yourself of the things you like. I had a Mai Tai tonight. It fit in with my calories. It was delish!!

When I hit a plateau. I kept trying different things. I finally found one that worked for me. That is lowered my carbs a little and ate more protein. I eat a lot of non starchy veggies. Especially salad. I also cut back my cardio to 2 days a week and do cirucuit training and strength training 3 days a week. It seems to be…

The barcode scanner is great!! I use it a lot but you have to check it because it is not always the item it scans. I don't really understand that but calories etc. are different. Good luck with your weight loss goals.

I pretty much have a banana everyday. I buy the small ones no more than 3 oz. because the large ones actually counts as 2 fruits. I have been losing steadily.

That is great!! Don't forget to change your weight on your HRM too. Sometimes I forget.

I think everyone who joins MFP and is really committed to losing weight becomes obsessive on here. After a while it does become a way of life. I was just like you. Everytime I was going to eat something I had to go log it. Now I plan my meals and snacks ahead of time or at least whenever possible. When you can't you learn…

You will find healthy choices there. Don't forget you will be walking a lot too and burning calories. I have always done well going to the parks there. I am sure you will too. Good luck and have fun!!!

I don't care for the taste of the Slim Fast cans but I do use the powder occasionally if I don't have time to make a good lunch. Sometimes I add a banana to them. I also buy the meal and snack bars. Mostly for my husband when he goes to work because he doesn't always stop for lunch.

I keep logging because I tend to get off track and eat more if I don't. My weight loss is so slow so when I reach goal I know I won't have a problem maintaining. I have learned healthy eating so I should be ok. At that time I may give it a shot and not log but for right now as long as I am sill trying to reach my goal I…

They have a 30 minute circuit training at the gym I go to. There is a green light that you start each machine with and red light that lets you know to stop. You do as many as you can in the green. You can adjust the weights for you. What ever machine you start with you have to go in order and In between you are suppose to…

That is wonderful!! With the kind of attitude and motivation you have I have no doubt you will reach your weight loss goal. You are an inspiration. Best of luck.

Sometimes a nutritionist is covered by insurance depending on the diagnosis. Reason I know is because i just checked into it. Sometimes your doctors office works with a nutritionist/dietiician and you have to go through them. I believe 2 of the dxs would be diabetes or morbid obesety. I would check with your insurance and…

I too have looked at some of the food diaries of the people whining. I can't believe what I see. They are over on mostly everything. Duh!! I don't usually make negative comments. I don't want to be rude or hurt anyones feelings but I would like to put my 2 cents in on this one because I have seen it posted so many times. .…

We will keep you in our prayers that it will be over soon. Please be careful and stay safe.

I can't get up that early and workout. Lol. I have to have a cup of coffee before I workout or do anything for that matter. I think the important thing is to workout and be consistant no matter what time it is. It has to work for you if it is going to be part of you new healthy lifestyle.

That is a HUGE NSV. Great Job and keep up the good work!!!!

I have been logging every day since starting MFP and also losing weight pretty steady. The very first friend I had on here deleted me after one day. . I was kind of hurt because I didn't understand why. I guess that is why I have never deleted anyone yet but I have a few friends that haven't logged on it quite some time.

Years ago at a WW meeting. I did hear the saying that went. 'Nothing taste as good as thin feels" I actually had a print of it on my fridge at that time. I have seen so many changes in the programs over the years. I am talking almost 27 years ago. Haven't heard it at a meeting lately although I have mentioned it a lot.
