If it makes you sick to your stomach, WHY EAT IT even if it is healthy. Listen to your body. Being sick to your stomach after eating something is not normal. There are other things that have the same healthy qualities as avocado I would suggest doing some research and finding alternatives.

I tried this and could only make it to about 1.5 days. I felt horrible and I had not lost any weight. I now know that I love my body way to much to every do a fad diet again. Those days are definitely over for me

I went from 1200 calories and not loosing weight to 1800 calories and loosing about 2 pounds + a week. You need to look for more calorie dense foods. My go to is cheese. 1 oz of cheese has about 100 calories in it. and 1 oz of cheese is not that much at all. Also, change everything that you have been eating low cal/fat…

my suggestion would be to look up your TDEE and find your amount of calories this way. With TDEE - 20% it factors in your exercise so you don't have to eat large amounts to make up for exercising.

I have read that if you start lifting weights especially targeting your chest muscles that it acts as a natural breast lift. I have been lifting for about 2 months now and I have noticed a slight difference or at least they aren't getting any worse. I would look into all the non surgical methods before going under the…

64 ounces down so far and I will be filling my brita bottle for another 24 ounces

This is what to order based on what you posted....order the taco salad with the shredded chicken. No sour cream, no guacamole, and no shell. If you need a dressing just put salsa on it. Also, try to stay away from the chips too much.

I have spent months trying to find out what works for me and I think that I have finally figured it out. I am 5 ft and 1/4 inch tall. Starting weight was 225 pounds in January 2013 and current weight is 197 pounds. I am eating about 1800 calories per day right now and netting 1500 calories. I have been working out less and…

I was like that when I first started then I kind of got burnt out from eating so many salads. I know just have a small side salad here and there for dinner. I having been sticking to mainly lean protein and fruits and veggies now.

I really try to plan all my meals out in advance and do all the prep the night before, so even if I sleep in I can grab my breakfast and lunch and run out the door.

Eliminating eating out is a great thing. My husband and I have cut it down to that we only eat out about 1 time per week. We typically save about $500 each month. Also, another thing you might want to consider is to talking to the student loan finance company. I have found out that they are willing to work with you to get…

Definitely let us know how you do. I say as long as you finish then that's a great job, no matter what your times are!!!

woot woot happy dance....great NSV!!!

I love Ann Taylor Loft, it is by far my favorite store. I actually worked there for about 3 years ago. For the last 3 years I have not been able to shop there due to my size. They only carry up to a 14 in pants and XL in tops and only up to a 12P in the petite section. I went shopping there over the holiday weekend and to…

rice and beans I know are pretty inexpensive especially if you buy dry beans and cook themselves

This is fantastic!!!

Thanks for the info!!! I have really got into cycling recently :D

Looking at your profile pic you look GREAT :D!!!! If your body feels like you could loose another 10 pounds go for it. You may get to that weight and not like the way you look and want to put a few pounds back on. I say go for it and see how you feel and look. You are doing great!

I have lost about 25 pounds thus far about 50 more to go and people are asking me this too. What are you doing, what are your secrets. I boringly tell them eat healthy and workout. They are like "really thats it?" Ummmm YEAH sorry I am doing it the right way and not a fad diet that will work for the 2 weeks you can stand…

Finding out actual portion sizes have been my biggest surprise for me. I bought a food scale when I started MFP and I was so surprised and it was definitely a light bulb moment for me. I wanted some ice cream so I got my food scale out and weighed what the package said was a serving size, it was TINY. I then for shiggles…

Onederland for me was to be under 200 pounds. I actually achieved this on this past Friday May 24 , 199.2 pounds :D. I started MFP in January of this year at 225 pounds. Which was my highest weight to date.

I really think that people should have to work with a dietician as well as a therpist that specializes in over eating before being considered for the surgery. The surgery is just a quick fix but many times nobody addresses the issues as to why they are at the weight they are in the first place.

Very nice :smile:

Maybe not weird but very cute. My gym has in indoor track and lots of older (60 +) people like to walk laps especially in the mornings. There is this 1 couple that comes at the same time every day, they are probably older than 75 and the woman has trouble keeping her balance. Her husband regliously holds her hand…

You look very nice in this outfit. No muffin top or anything to worry about! I would say wear it proudly out in public!

most of the time low fat items are terribly processed and full of chemicals. I like to focus on the original stuff and just work on portion control.

The average size in the united states for a women right now is a size 14. I would say a 10 is below average in size. Also, seeing as the size 10 is hard to find I would say that many women that are shopping at the stores you are going into are also that size. Unfortunately you will not be able to just go into every store…

You litterally look like half the person you were before. You definitely look like you have lost more than 45 pounds. You are rockin it girl....keep up the great work!
