Always looking to help keep people motivated! Feel free to add me. A year ago - 5'4 - 185, 33%BF Current 5'4 - 138, 15% BF

I am here almost every day! Feel free to add me

We are the only mammals on the planet that consume milk after infancy ... and we are the only mammals that consume milk from another mammal. That being said - I like milk and LOVE cheese ... never really thought much about it until I stopped using it. I replaced it with almond milk and feel significantly less bloated and…

I am 28 and lost about 40 pounds ... .aiming for another 10-15. Please feel free to add me!

Always looking for more people to help motivate me, and so that I can help motivate others! Feel free to add me!

Great work!!

I was really reluctant to add juicing to my diet, especially when you hear what I juice. lol But I caved. I am at a point where I notice a physical difference when I dont make my green juice in the afternoon. I have a particular kind of juice that I make which is used to detox the liver and slim down the thighs ... I am…

Dont be discouraged by what others are burning ... I know what you mean. Some days my heart rate monitor tells me that in a stellar workout I only burn 400 calories. But such is life! Then I come here and see someone who says they have burned 1100!! I think some people who have a more sedentary lifestyle track EVERYTHING…

Try not to be to hard on yourself. We all go through it. I have lost 50 pounds ... 40 since I started using MFP and even though in pictures there is an obvious difference, there are days where I look at myself and still see the same person I saw before. Just because your physical appearance changes doesn't mean that you as…

I mix it with avacado ... gives you the texture of having it with mayo, but avacado is a healthy fat. Add some hot sauce, or lemon or lime or whatever you like for taste :) I also eat it on celery instead of with crackers so it gives me that cruch with less calories!

It is different for everyone, it all depends on how your body processes each of those things. It also depends what they are set at for your calorie goals. All of them are part of a normal diet. I know for me, sugar (even from fruit) made me hold on to weight, where as carbs from things like potatoes and rice was never a…

Great work! Impressive results! keep up the good work! You look fantastic!

An Actifryer will be your friend ... its a way to get a deep fried feel without all of the deep fried badness! Also, look up recipes for things like nut bread - way better for you, but still the 'bread' part of it for your husband.

I have another 16 pounds to go - could use some motivation to keep at it! I also see a nutritionist regularly so have lots of great tips for others! Add me!

I experience this all the time ... when you say 'no thank you' to the junk food consistently they badger you about 'not living' and then when you are having a day where you are a little more flexible with your eating habits its like you are some strange creature. Either that, or like someone else mentioned, you must have…

I would definitely agree! Eat back more of your calories! A great way to eat on the fly ( before a workout or after) is to have a shaker cup and protein near by all the time! That will keep you fueled with good calories and lots of protein which will help your workouts :) A good post workout recover tip is 250mls of…

http://www.bmi-calculator.net/body-fat-calculator/body-fat-chart.php Try this ... it is what I used to figure out my BMR (more accurately than MFP) and it worked to kick me off of a huge plateau. At first you will feel like you may be eating too much because you are not used to it, but it will work for sure! When I was…

I have been a member for quite some time, but am only on a 85 day streak so far! I just recently started commenting on forum posts and connecting with people I dont know for motivation that goes both ways! Feel free to add me! I work with a nutritionist quite regularly so I have a lot of great food tips and tricks :)

Hey! If I could make a suggestion, it looks to me like you are eating too few calories. As much as MFP might imply different, calories arent the enemy entirely. There are days where I eat 2400 calories, but it is all clean natural food and my body responds really well to that! My second and possibly more important…

Great work! Keep it up!!

I am one of those people who definitely had weight to lose ... and there is nothing more frustrating than when a person who is slim approaches you to say how much they wish they could lose ten pounds ... or whatever. But you are doing something completely different, getting healthy doesnt apply to size. If you are already…

I am 5'4 and I weigh about 135lbs. I currently wear a size 5 comfortably and can squeeze into a size three. My bodyfat percentage is low though. I am sitting around 14% bodyfat. Keep up the good work - the scale isnt always the best indicator of success :)

Hey there! I have changed my diet and exercise over a year ago! I have really great weeks, and not so great weeks! I have spent a lot of money on a nutritionist and one of the things he mentioned is don't call it a 'cheat' day. That implies that you are doing something bad ... and you actually are doing something good for…
