...or eat one slice of pizza and be full....or refuse a hamburger and get a black forest ham subway instead....or refuse cake for salad....or when buying any food be full with actually one serving that they suggest. I bought today TGI Friday's Fajita frozen bag and I cooked it at home. I was surprised by how little the…

Putting on weight is not easy either, it takes time and training yourself to eat junk food and eat a lot of it :)))) And don't start and finish a DIET, but start and finish a healthy active LIFE. Good luck!

"Fantastic Potatoes"....my mom used to make it. Boiled potatoes, cut in slices. Coat a tray with butter, layer potatoes, feta cheese and sour cream...and repeat. Pour 2 eggs on top and put it in the oven until top layer gets a little crispy brown...eat with sour cream. Maybe that's why I'm on MFP :))))

I saw some exercises that can be done with the baby...or his carriage to use as support...also walking with him is great for both of you! Congratulations!

you gave me a heart attack!!!!

Give your scale to a friend (far away) or put it in a place where you rarely have any access. Also, you have the motivation to get healthy, which is why you're here. Use the same motivation to refrain yourself from weighing.

3 days is not a good reference. It may be water retention, bloating, etc. I think a better measurement of a plateau would be weeks or even months. Do not worry about days, really. One time I lost 6 pounds in 12 hours without trying. Turns out it was water weight. Weigh yourself weekly, because if you do it daily it will…

For the past 3 days???? Stop weighing yourself daily. I am pretty sure others will post here explaining why.

Please share what you find out. Would love to read it as well.

Maybe your cat doesn't speak English :). Have you tried speaking to her in meowish?

Last year I used to walk 3 miles a few times per week. In the days that I didn't walk, I did EA Sports Active for the Wii (the original version). I lost a few pounds (I don't have much to lose anyway), but I was much more toned and lost inches (all my clothes were loose). That game made me break a sweat. Now I do something…

I read somewhere (maybe even on MFP) recently that eating some protein before a workout will help your body burn more calories, or burn them for longer after you complete the exercise. So eat some eggs or some other protein before. I know in the mornings I can't function without food, I get ilghtheaded a lot. I HAVE to eat…

Stop using the scale is my best suggestion. If you work out, you are building muscle, which weighs more than fat (per volume). Muscle increases metabolism, so you will burn better. Your BEST result is measured by inches and body fat %. You ARE losing!!!! So why don't you just forget about the scale for good? That is just a…

They say to drink the vinegar before meals because it will decrease your appetite and you don't eat as much. Doesn't seem to have any scientific basis though. Maybe old wives' tales?

Put the leftovers in the fridge and in the morning make a little frittata or omlet or wrap with them. Eat that for breakfast or lunch at work.

size. My size 4 jeans don't care how many pounds fit in them, as long as they fit comfortably :) Still waiting to fit in them :)

Sometimes people like your answer and just skip the message board. In that case, they should at least write a message :)

Jealous much? That is NOT a friend.

Enforce a dress code. Not even toes are professional. And too much cleavage is when you can see where the breasts begin, which is too much :) Also, clothes may cover, but be too tight. Professional is when you can't tell the outline or color of the undergarments.

I had a friend who I was trying to convince to lose weight the right way and turns out you cannot change her. It is up to her, not up to you. The best thing you can do is not pressure her and just set an example. It is ultimately her choice. Don't get frustrated and stressed over it as much, because people do whatever they…

..I lost from my fingers, my ring is loose...first time in months! I lost in my wrists and ankles too and nowhere else :))))

First day. We were completing each other's sentences (eww, I know) and felt like we've known each other all our lives.

i am interested in that as well.

Fruits. Mangoes are super sweet and fill you up (I don't know how good they are for diet, but they are much better than cake).

I am far from that, I even gained a pound, but I know it's muscle. I have been working out a lot more than usual.

Ok. I thought you didn't eat at all for days. That freaks me out a bit, considering that I cannot even make it to my car if I don't have breakfast. Fuel is fuel. Good luck and stay healthy!

I don't eat 6 meals a day either, I just eat my calories. But not eating at all, I'm sorry, that I cannot support. What does your doctor say about this?

Why would you do this?

short...men's hair should not be blown by the wind :))))

Be strong. Everything she's doing now will backfire on her eventually. Relax and do your own things. Plateaus will go away. Like the store of the turtle and the rabbit. Be the turtle! Slow, steady but safely there!
