I have done 40/30./30 carbs/protein/fat...and have done Paleo...both allowed me to lose weight...but the kicker is to rethink the way you eat. For my personal well being..I do try to stay under 150 carbs a day..and If I dont..I pay for it the next day..(thanks to Metformin). You also have to figure what works for you as…

there is probably more than one listing for basmati..i usually do some of my own research..and select the one that seems the most accurate..

personal preference...hubbs and I do coconut where the kids to almond...

please...so not true...there were problems prior to the partner losing weight...i have lost weight...getting compliments..but does my husband think I am going to leave him?..absolutely not!...

What you have done is an amazing feat!. I think thats what it boils down to...seeing the progress is what makes us push ourselves even more...keep going..you are going to get there!

the soreness and weight gain is all water weight..your muscles are trying to repair themselves. i would suggest not weighing for a few weeks..since you are basically doing all new exercises which in turn shock your muscles into retaining water. There is a group on here that is totally dedicated to the NROL4W..check it…

Look into the Amiigo. It sounds really promising..combines an HRM with a Fitbit like feature...If it works as promised..It will replace both my fitbit and HRM.. But just like braves said..I use both. I put the Fitbit in a "start" stop mode..and turn on my HRM..to get an accurate count when I am doing something…

After seeing my mom after 1.5 years...she said I didnt lose weight..I just somehow got a waist..How the HELL do you think I got a waist...I lost weight..

I accept the treats..and then take them home to the kids or hubby...

add flavor to your water...I drink pellegrino if i want fizzy..but I do have an occasional soda now since i can have one and be happy..

PCOS is one of those metabolic syndromes ..where you have to do different things. I have PCOS, Insulin Resistance, and Hypothyroid...I am on medications to help..but I do try to keep my carbs down..not so much now...but in the beginning it did help. You have to play with your diet and see what works...even the type of…

we always have enough food at the house..so thats no biggie..and as long as we have Netflix..no worries..we have no problem staying at home.

This I would do...looks cute..just have to make sure that you are wearing a flesh tone bra..cause no one..no matter how pale..is as white as a white bra..(we can still see it people) ...

Load up on salad..and have 1 slice..its not going to kill you..as far as the macros..not that bad for 1 slice..

Oh..I had this ...When I was 12-13..I slipped in the shower..and fell right on my tail bone...OWWIE...it took me years to be able to sit on it..I learned how to sit on pillows when sitting on the floor. You can always get those special pillows pregnant women..or those with hemorrhoids where there is a cut out..so your tail…

taking my daughter out...her dad is her Valentine..so we celebrate her..since its a stupid day anyway..and she is still young and thinks its important..

Hubby and I were raised in very traditional roles...Him very Polish/Irish..and me..South Asian. I do all the cooking..He mows the lawn..I have never done it..he also shovels the snow... BUT..he does the laundry..all the dishes during the week..We are both content with our roles..I love when my family eats the food I…

I have PCOS, insulin resistance, and hypo..I am on the right medication. I lift heavy and I do cardio..havent had a problem losing..I do watch what I eat 5 days out of the week. Dont let it discourage you..When I started this whole MFP thing..I had no idea that it was going to be hard to lose the weight..I lost 40 pounds…

I don't care about anyone else in the gym...I mean we are all there for the same reason..to work out and be healthy...

from looking at your diary..your logging is inconsistent. you need to make it a habit. Also eating processed foods does and will increase your sodium...which will cause water weight gain. I also noticed that there are days you dont log, days you do..and eat a healthy amount..and other days where you barely eat.... When I…

It was awesome...I mean it still is..but now thinking about a Amiigo...since it measures everything..a lot more than the Fitbit. I will admit..the Fitbit does get me moving more..making sure I get my steps in...but i think I have kind of outgrown it..

Hi my name is Marlene. I have been using MFP since July of 2011...I reached my goal weight November 2011..and held steady till this last summer.. I have gained about 8 pounds back..which is fine. I usually dont weight myself..just because I use how I look in the mirror and my clothes as a gauge of how I am doing. I usually…

I take it 3x a day @ 500 mg each time...I love it..its has helped with weight loss..Its been almost 2 years now.

I have taken yoga..and men are in there...as well as e spinning class this morning. Go and do what you want..after all...you are paying for me regardless if you take them or not

I like mine to be in different "flavors".......a little Indian...a little Italian...a little Chinese...varies day to day what I am in the mood for

a fancy haircut and then dinner with the munchkin and her friend..(got $50 gift cards for Old Chicago)

Sorry...I have no advice. I am married and hang out with whoever.. BTW..you look gorgeous in the red dress in your profile pic!

just from a quick peek at your diary..for the past 3 days..you have gone way over on sodium...you need to curb that!.. I dont see any vegetables..and you are eating a decent amount of protein.which is awesome..keep at it...you didnt gain all the weight in a month..you cant expect to lose a ton in the first month.. I have…
