I have about 50-70 pounds more to loose. I have already lost 20 pounds thus far.

LOVE the pic!!! Thats crazy he would say that on TV. No wonder Americans as a whole have an obese epidemic

Drink enough water until your pee is a very light yellow (almost light lemonaid) color. I have also heard you if are looking for a number of glasses you should drink take your current weight and divide by 2. for example I weigh 200 pounds divided by 2 = 100 oz of water per day. I find that if I am drinking too much water I…

For not giving up when I have a bad food binge. Last night I binged on ruffles potato chips but I am back at it today better than ever!

I have a severe allergy to wheat. For me I can not eat anything that has even been processed on equipment. You will see many debates on going gluten (wheat free). I think that if you dont have a medical reason than dont give it up. You just need to eat it in moderation just like you do with everything else.

dove dark chocolate (only 42 calories per piece) also any 100 calorie snacks work out great too.

Look up eat more to weigh less on the forums here, there is some really good info about it. I can personally say that it works I now eat anywhere from 1500-2300 calories per day averaging about 1800 per day and I have been consistently loosing 2+pounds per week. Think of it this way you need to eat to fuel your work outs.

I love green beans with a little parmesean cheese on them....so yummy! Sweet potato is really good. THey even make sweet potato fries with chipotle that are super yummy. You should look into quinoa similar to rice but way healthier and full of protein.

If I am not hungry then I typically eat just a snack this helps me to not be extremely hungry when I do get hungry. This helps me because I do not have much self control when I get super hungry and thus make poor food decisions.

Yes, you may want to look up starvation mode. Unfortunately you might gain back all the weight that you have lost too. Also, you will have no energy, headaches, feeling jittery and many more symptoms if you keep at only eating 700 calories for a long period of time. I would not advise this. Maybe you should consult a…

Lean meats (chicken, 90/10 beef) and veggies are my go to for lower cal dinners. I struggle with snacking after dinner.

Bump....dont have time presently to read all of it but what I have read seems like really good info....Thanks

Since changing the way that I am eating (healthier) and I have a ton of food allergies fast food is pretty much out of the question. I gave up taco bell last fall and recently had it again because I was out with friends and needless to say it made my physically sick for days. Learned my leason and dont ever plan on eating…

You said you work out 4-6 days a week. How many calories are you buning whenever you workout? I was eating 1200 calories but was working out 6 days a week and buring anywhere form 500-700+ calories each time. I hit a 6 week plataeu doing this where I was gaining and loosing the same 3-7 pounds. I looked at my diary and I…

Most likely eating will only be a problem for the first few days and for maybe a couple of days whenever you get the adjusted. I am allergic to wheat and have to be on a gluten free diet too. Some meal suggestions would be greek yogurt with applesauce or other softer fruit. spoonfulls of peanut butter and if you can…

You could possibly be having some water retention from your UTI's as well as from the medicine. This is something that you may want to mention to your doctor, maybe schedule an apt if you dont have one coming up. I know some medicines can make you retain water too. So maybe its the Levaquin. I work at a doctors office and…

Planfield has a great trail system. I am lucky to have a trail head right down the road from where I live. My husband and I then pick up the trial and go all over. Plainfield has miles a paved trails. You should check it out.

Starting weight 4 weeks ago was 214.2 current weight is 205.4 = Total loss in 4 weeks 8.8 pounds!!!!!! I am beyond excited with this loss!!!

Whatever you do DO NOT GIVE UP!!! Based on your ticker you have lost some weight with what you are doing. One day is not going to break all the hard work that you have put in thus far. Eat what you want today and start fresh tomorrow. I can garuntee that you will feel horrible almost sick tomorrow (or at least I do when I…

Indiana, USA!!!!

I was able to wear a shirt today that I have not been able to fit in for a long time.

Eat at least one fruit or veggie with every meal. Swith from white to brown rice. Whole wheat pasta instead of regular pasta. Greek yogurt instead of regular yogurt. Try to get 30 minutes of cardio, even if its a leisurely walk.

Just have to push yourself to getting on it and staying on it. I like to set goals that I have to meet until I can get off. For example burn a certain amount of calories, go a certain distance, or be on for a set amount of time. And there is alot of time that I am on it until my butt starts hurting too much then I know its…

I typically think about everything that I need to do after working out. I typically make a grocery list while doing cardio and other random stuff like that

I am going to KILL this weeks weigh in!!!! I did not have a very good weekend but I am hoping (fingers crossed) for a loss this friday!

Thats great, I cant wait until I am in the same position!!!

I track my food religiously! This seems to be the only way that I actively know what I am consuming and how much. It also helps me that I have the app on my phone as well as work on a computer all day so I can have MFP open all day.

I think it as ment to say 10 pounds every 5 weeks....like in loose 10 pounds in 5 weeks.

Thanks I will definitely try it out the gym I go to has water aerobics as well as a lap pool that I have been wanting to try to just change up my workout.

I too agree eat what you want some days. I found the success for me sticking to it is to allow myself one or 2 pieces of chocolate, the occasional starbucks, and once in awhile mexican restuarant. At first I was restricting everything but healthy and I was stalling out. Since allowing myslef I am back on track and feeling…
