I love Kroger's Carbmaster Yogurt! Lots of flavors, low carb and only 60 calories! My favorite flavors are peach, white chocolate with raspberries, Pina Colada, and key lime. :)

I have dealt with this all of my life. I have low blood pressure and low blood sugar (when I don't get enough water and protien).. My best advice is to make sure you are eating protien rich foods and drinking plenty of water. If you start to feel faint, try eating a few nuts and drinking a Powerade Zero. It works great for…

Michelina's Lean Gourmet Chicken & Pasta Bake for lunch. 290 calories of yumminess. :)

I'm proud of you, too! We are in this together and WE CAN DO IT! I think the hardest part for me is that we are pinching pennies and the unhealthiest food is the cheapest. (Of course it tastes good, too.)

Don't give up. It will drop when you least expect it!

I have Portuguese blood (almost 3/4, I am told). I speak fluent Spanish and would love to learn to speak Portuguese. I can understand a little bit just because of similarities to Spanish.
-
My suggestion would be to add a few healthy snacks during the day when you know you are going to work out. I know I can't eat right before I work out, but maybe try having a snack a half hour before your workout.
-
I hate regular sodas so when I do have a soda, I drink diet. I only have 2 - 3 a week usually. I have completely changed my way of thinking and I look at portion control more than anything.

It really depends on whether the sugars are from dairy, fruit, or pure junk. I try to keep my sugars almost to the levels MFP recommends but I know that there will be days I go over. I try to keep my junk food portions small so that I don't stress my body out with having to process too much refined sugar.

Do something to distract yourself. For me, worship is the best way to fill up without food. :)

Most gyms have someone who will show you around for free when you first join. Being a 24 hour gym, you may have to leave a message or send an email to let them know that you would like some direction. It can be dangerous to use the equipment if you don't know what you are doing, so I don't recommend trial and error.

Great Job!!! The scale really is NOT king!!!

If you have an Applebee's nearby, they have skinny bee margaritas and skinny bee mojitos for only 100 calories each. They're a little spendy but pretty yummy.

It sounds like you may be depressed. You should do the obvious things like eating/drinking healthier and get the exercise even when you don't feel like it. More than that, you REALLY need to talk to someone about the negative feelings you are having. If you are a part of a church, call the office and see if they have any…

I get them at Walmart and at Fred Meyer/Kroger in the nutritional sections. :)

One thing to consider is that muscle weighs more.. so if you are not building it, you may be losing it. Just a thought....

You should try the coconut ones, they taste just like... MOUNDS!!!

I spent last weekend with family: two graduations and a birthday. Had lots of cake to say the least. I took about a mile walk for every piece of cake I ate, but still gained 4 pounds. It only took 3 days to loose it though and now I'm back to my pre- "weekend with family" weight. I think it helps me to stay on track if I…

Although it would be hard to hear when you are so in love, instead of letting the results get you down, let them fuel you into working on those areas that need work. You are blessed to find out these things now rather than after 5 years of hard feelings and misunderstandings. I will be praying that God's will is done in…

You may want to try eating more protien and less carbs and sugar. I have found that if I hit a plateau, cutting down on carbs and sugars can help a lot.

Welcome! I've been here just over a month and I have lost 11 pounds. It's definitely an easier way to stay motivated. Just make sure you log everything and don't cheat because the only one you will cheat is yourself. My daughter told me about it and I'm hooked!
