  • I can't stop laughing. It hurts.
  • I don't have kids so please take what I say with a grain of salt because it might not be the best advice. I feel that with kids talking to them might open them up to change. You seem like a great mom who is trying very hard to get her kids healthy so please don't think I am saying you don't talk to your kids, I'm just…
  • I think I would go bankrupt. Fruit so expensive >.<
  • I think you and your sister & friend are both right. For some people sports bras work and do their job, and for others as you can see from all the posts they don't. So I think both parties won't get anywhere in your 'argument' since it ultimately depends on the person.
  • Hello everyone! This week was pretty normal for me. Coming off TOM last week I didn't expect to lose anything but was surprised at the fact I did lose. I tend to check my weight throughout the week and noticed it wasn't really moving this week at all so I feel like maybe this was after affect of last week. I officially…
  • The first one was hilarious .. but I couldn't finish the whole thing because watching close calls on getting hurt like that really freaks me out!
  • MY OPINION is that if you can eat all of your calories MFP gives you than go for it. However if you are eating and you get to 1500 calories at the end of the night and you haven't starved yourself all day and have felt satisfied with what you've eaten than don't force yourself to eat more. As long as you are above your…
  • Substitution foods are RARELY going to taste like the real deal. Spaghetti squash doesn't taste like spaghetti no matter what you put on it so if you are expecting it to taste like spaghetti noodles because you are 'replacing' noodles with it you're probably going to be disappointed. Cauliflower 'rice' doesn't taste like…
  • I don't think it's exactly FROWNED upon but from my understanding the point that paleo makes is that our ancestors didn't jog for long periods of time to get anywhere. They walked places for hours and climbed hills (hiking) (heart rate going up and down instead of one steady rhythm) and sprinted to catch their food (HIIT)…
  • This would also depend on your weight.
  • With eyeballing the servings of some of that I came up with about 840 calories.
  • If you were tracking everything you ate during this period of going over I would also go back and take a look at your diary to see where you could switch things around but make sure you are proactive about getting yourself back at it the next day.
  • Woaaa .. throw the brakes on! You're over thinking this a lot IMO. We can't tell you what your schedule is .. so YOU need to set when you eat. We can't tell you when you are hungry or when you are going to feel hungry. Eat when YOU are hungry. I'm not sure if the 'how much' means how many times through the day should you…
  • So I know this isn't Saturday but just wanted to post! This week was emotionally eventful. My TOM put me out of commission for the last 3 days and I've been laying in bed doing nothing but thinking. I was finally able to do something today and it was a good day with grilling out with our roommate. I've realized a lot about…
  • Get up and do a few sets of your favorite exercise (I really like squats and pushups for some reason). Doing a couple sets of them might get you motivated to go do something more.
  • Avocado, coconut oil, olive oil, nuts, sweet potatoes .. these are all high calorie foods that are healthy for you. Are you using 'diet' items like low fat/no fat dressings .. if so then get the normal version of these items.
  • Hello everyone! I'm not currently following the WW plan, though I have in the past, but I am here mostly for support aspect. I read the intros and thought this would be a good group to join after getting the invite from Sarah. Lets see, about me. When I was 20-22ish I weighed my most at 417lb. When I realized how much I…
  • My cat loves cottage cheese.
  • My mom always made mac & cheese with velveeta and it was the best darn mac & cheese in the world. Or maybe that was because my mom was the one who made it .. dunno but I second your statement.
  • Sales, sales, sales! We shop for the week around what's on sale. Don't buy name brand items instead go for the store brand it's usually cheaper for the same-ish product. If you can find really really good deals on a meat one week buy an extra or two, if you have freezer room. I agree with a lot of the other advice above…
  • More than a specific food is the serving size of things. My serving sizes were so messed up that when I'd actually measure things out I was pretty sure I was going to be super hungry in like 10 minutes. My boyfriend and I ate a LOT of white rice almost every day and we would just fill a bowl with rice (probably 2 cups or…
  • My boyfriend and I spend about $50 a week on groceries give or take. IF we had a kid I would estimate maybe another $100 on top of that since they need food to grow. Over $600 seems excessive to me. The Vons here is very expensive compared to some of the other stores we have. We have a place called FoodMaxx (Also…
  • I have about 182lb to lose on top of the 100ish i'm down from my heighest weight (which was a long long time ago) so add me if anyone wants!
  • You have to decide for YOURSELF if buying poptarts is a waste or not. It's your body, your goals, your way of life. If you want poptarts and can fit them into your daily calories/macros then go for it if you REALLY want them. You can't really ask other people 'should I get them' .. just ask yourself. I see a pattern on the…

  • IMO it's not that these things just HAPPEN because you're trying to lose weight. These things were always there but because you're now more conscious about what you are eating these things are just more obvious. I don't want to sound rude but it's hard not to when saying this .. but the world doesn't revolve around you and…
  • If he TRULY loved you he would accept you no matter your size. If you are too big for him then that's his problem he's missing out on an awesome person. You can't force someone to love you and you should never have to change yourself in order to get love from someone.
  • I don't really get the negativity towards herbs and the such (that aren't from big businesses) but if the bland food motivates you like you said then go for it. I'm inclined to say you are going to get bored and you're going to come across other food while at work or out with friends or w/e that because you are limiting…
